Busan Port, Korea, is a region that must take integrated measures against problems such as the excessive handling of cargo volume, the intensification of port congestion, and the construction of a new port to improve port competitive power. In particular, if a great deal of function in the existing area of Busan Port transfers to a new port, then the problems of port redevelopment will occur as shown in the cases of port developed countries explained hereafter. For Korean ports, port redevelopment in a port zone is implemented for improving the port productivity that targets a local area, but the entire and systematic port redevelopment is not accounted for. Focused on this point, the paper is to present the directions for full-scale port redevelopment of the existing zone of Busan Port. The findings are as follows: First, the region of Busan is divided according to a regional classification that is necessary for port redevelopment. Thereby, 4 zones, total 26 regions of redevelopment were selected. Second, overseas case studies were considered for port redevelopment. From these same studies, appropriate types of port development in Korea were extracted and presented. Third, the status and problems of the selected redevelopment regions were analyzed, and types of port redevelopment were assigned. This study was not applied to the strict evaluation technique by quantitative analysis, but the concept and directions for unprecedented port redevelopment were first defined and established. It is significant to select target areas for redevelopment by regional classification and present directions for developing each region by choosing Busan Port as a real case study. This initiation will greatly contribute to the succeeding study.

This paper aims at drawing policy schemes to establish marine clusters so as to enhance Korea's global port competitiveness and applying them to its national management for the advancement of national economy through policy suggestions. The research method is an integrated approach(IA) that comprises SWOT Method with strategic approaches, HFP Model enhanced by KJ Method and descriptive deductions. Strategic schemes established for the SPLC are followed by the group of geographical proximity, integration of ICT, expansion of the interchange of ICT & opportunities of ET, integration of ICT services with marine technologies, supply of integrated services in the SPLC and implementation of organizational policies. In order to make a specific implementation of strategic establishment schemes of the SPLC, we need to select a promotion entity. It is advised to establish the joint organization of the public sector and the private sector, which is considered most desirable. In practice, it is to be followed by promoting support schemes of the organizational policy on the level of national management. In order to reinforce this study, further compensative and proactive researches on the offshore sector with marine clusters are required in terms of the development of the high value added 'blue' ocean.
