북극해의 해빙 감소와 러시아 야말반도의 LNG 자원 개발 등으로 북극항로를 이용한 선박의 화물운송이 점차 증가하고 있다. 극지 해역 운항선박의 안전운항과 해양환경보호를 위하여 IMO Polar Code가 2017년 1월부터 강제 발효되었으며, SOLAS협약과 MARPOL73/78 협약에 추가되어 시행되고 있다. 이에 대응하기 위하여 해양수산부 해양안전 및 해양교통시설기술개발 사업으로 2014년 11월부터 2018년 12월까지 KRISO 주관으로 '북극항로를 운항하는 선박의 항해안전 지원시스템 개발' 과제를 수행하여 KRISO Arctic safe Routing System(KARS)을 개발하였다. 한편, Polar Code에서는 빙해구역을 운항하는 선박의 구조적인 안전성을 확보하기 위한 평가 기준으로 Polar Operational Limit Assessment Indexing System (POLARIS)을 제안하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 연구배경, KARS 및 POLARIS에 대해서 간략히 설명을 하고, 두 가지 방법으로 북극해 최적항로를 각각 시뮬레이션하여 그 차이를 비교 검토하여 보인다. 결과적으로 KARS는 POLARIS를 기본적으로 고려함으로서 선박의 구조적인 안전성을 확보함과 동시에 연료소모량을 최소화 하는 경로를 탐색하므로 보다 최적화된 경로를 줄 수 있다. 향후 지속적인 수정보완 작업을 통해서 완성도를 높여갈 예정이며, 검증단계를 거쳐서 최적하고 안전한 항로와 운항 관련 정보를 선사와 해기사에게 제공하고, 북극항로 중 단기 운항계획 수립과 항해사의 안전 운항을 지원할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The review of statements and coastal development characteristics in South Korea were diagnosed by the consultation on the coastal area utilization in Korea. The occupation and the use of public water were dominated by installation of coastal structure and seawater supply and drainage whereas the reclamation areas were predominantly utilized for developing industrial complex, harbor, fishing port and road. The occupation and the use were dominant in western coast, but reclamation was dominant in southern coast of Korea. The number of utilization cases was particularly greater in Jeonnam, Gyeongnam, and Gyeonggi Province including Incheon. The number of the statements reviews increased by more than 200 cases in 2008 compared with 2007, and most of them were the simple statements. The statements related to ocean disposal of dredged sediment, reclamation, dredging sediment, seawater supply and drainage, and marine sand mining were submitted for review. Coastal utilization was especially active in the regions of seawater quality criteria I and II. In particular, special management sea areas designated under the relevant marine regulations were utilized mostly by reclamation for developing harbor, fishing port and coastal structure. Development activities in national parks comprised primarily structure installation and coastal maintenance. In the fisheries resources protection areas, 40% of the total cases accounted for coastal maintenance, 31% for structure installation, and 16% for seawater supply and drainage. In addition, alternative plans for the improvement in policies and system of marine environmental impact assessment were suggested to enhance the function and confidence of the consultation on the coastal area utilization in Korea.

This paper analyzes the current status, characteristics, and problems of coastal reclamation in Korea and suggests effective management approaches. Reclamation is concentrated from the West Sea to the South Sea. In the 1980s and 1990s, most projects were intended for agricultural use, whereas in recent years reclamation for industrial and harbour sites(e.g., ship-building) have been increasing. The continuous onslaught of reclamation and development projects threatens the coastal environment, especially tidal flats and fishing areas, and fishery production has been reduced in some areas. The largest tidal flats have been used for dumping sites of dredged coastal sediments, urban development projects, and industrial complex composition. Thus, it is necessary to assess current policy using top-down approaches after establishing appropriate directions and standards for coastal management. Both short-term development profits and long-term conservation should be considered when attempting to balance development and conservation. In addition, improvements of marine environmental impact assessment and in the legal system are necessary.
