Korean port developments have been mostly made by the central government. With the introduction of the Port Authority system, however, roles and function assignments of the central government in port development have been in change and the Port Authority has to find a solution for inducement of private investment in port development. This paper has examined the current legal system of port developments and then sought the way for inducement of private capital to improve specialty and efficiency of harbor facilities management and development under Port Authority. As the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and fisheries(MMAF) has two types of legal system for inducement of private investment on port developments, the Port Authorities can also have two types of private finance. Private finances by the Port Authorities has some more critical advantages than the one by the central government. It is also required to change the the administrative permissions and concession agreements which MMAF conveyed to private participants in port developments into the concession agreements between Port Authorities and private participants.

국내 항만공사는 항만공사법이 2003년 제정되고 부산항만공사가 2004년 설립된 이후 인천항만공사, 울산항만공사, 여수광양항만공사가 설립되어 운영되고 있다. 그러나 항만공사의 운영이 비효율적인 방향으로 흘러감에 따라 정부를 중심으로 공기업 통 폐합 등의 조직 개편 움직임의 목소리가 나오고 있다. 정부에서 구상하는 개편 방안 중 항만관리에 대해 통합적 운영이 적절한지, 분권적 운영이 바람직한지에 대해 보다 심층적인 논의가 필요하다. 본 연구는 항만공사 운영방식 개혁에 대한 논의에 대비하여 이러한 통합적인 접근방식과 분권적인 접근방식에 대한 비교분석을 하는 것을 그 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 항만공사제도의 도입배경과 현황, 조직의 통합운영과 분산운영에 대한 이론적 배경, 국내 공기업 통합 사례 및 해외항만 운영 사례, 항만공사 운영 방식의 대안별 비교를 실시하였다. 이를 통해 다음과 같은 결론을 얻을 수 있었다. 첫째, 항만공사제도는 기존의 항만관리제도 개선을 위한 노력이라는 역사적 맥락을 기반으로 하여 기존 관리제도의 문제점을 개선하기 위한 대안으로 도입된 제도이며, 이러한 제도적 목적을 기반으로 항만공사 운영개선방안 논의가 되어야 한다는 것이다. 둘째, 공공기관 운영에 있어 내재되어 있는 문제점을 개선하기 위해 기관통합, 기능 조정, 부분통합 등 다양한 방식으로 개선이 가능하며 반드시 하나의 방법으로 이루어 질 수는 없다는 것이다. 셋째, 해외 주요 항만의 경우 개별 항만에 항만공사를 운영하는 개별적 운영방식을 택하고 있으며 대만이 유일하게 통합 운영하는 방식으로 개편하였으나 그 통합으로 인해 기대하는 효과가 실현되고 있지 않아 통합운영 방식의 근거가 되기는 어렵다. 넷째, 항만의 운영 자료를 분석한 결과 항만별로 처리하는 화물과 선대의 특성이 차이가 나고 운영방식과 대상이 되는 시장이 다름을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 항만별 운영과 고객의 차이를 감안하면 개별적 운영방식이 바람직하다고 판단된다. 결과적으로 통합 운영방식의 운영 효율성 개선 효과가 있을 수 있음에도 불구하고 항만공사제도의 목적과 취지를 감안할 때 현행 개별운영 방식을 유지하는 것이 바람직하다는 결론을 제시한다.

The purpose of this study was to present an alternative to improve the complex structure of Gyeonggi port governance. Based on previous research, advanced port operation, timely development of port, port safety management, and growth with the region were selected as the main roles of port governance. In addition, the importance of each role was analyzed by selecting the government-led port authority and government and local joint port authority as alternatives. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the establishment of the government-led port authority was reasonable in terms of advanced port operation, timely port development, and port safety management. On the other hand, local joint port authority is reasonable in terms of growth with the region. The implication of this study is that it is necessary to simplify port governance in Gyeonggi Privince and establish the government-led port authority in which Participation of local governments is required for linking regional administration and urban development plans.

In order to solve the current problems and inefficiencies within the Port Authorities(PA) in Korea, this study introduces the concept of the integration of PA and analyses the intention of integration. This study is based on analysing the surveys participated by the members of PA. The surveys consist of six main factors which could influence the intention of integration of PA; contribution, autonomy, strategic factor, financial factor, marketing factor and environmental factor. The two main implications from this study can be categorised as follows. First, this study identifies the structural problems such as regional self-centredness of PA, obscurity of organisations' roles and their rights, limitations on diversification of business and restrictions within PA. Second, this study extensively discusses the option of improving the inefficiency whilst maintaining the current system or to switch to the integration of PA. In addition, it has been found that individual PA recognise the little need for integration. Since the results show that the strategic, financial, marketing and environmental factors would cause both significant and little significant impacts, it would be too haste to decide on a conclusion. However, it is possible to say that the rapid integration of PA can neither improve the efficiency nor improve the characteristics of each region. Therefore, the significance of integration of PA must be further discussed from many different perspectives. The results of this research will serve as a basic literature for further studies on the integration of PA in Korea. Moreover, the problems that have been identified and analysed in this study will contribute to establishing the strategy for further development of PA in Korea.

A Port Authority system has been regarded as one of the efficient ways of port management. The Korean government is thus now planning to set up such a system into the Busan Port. Busan New Port is located in Kadok Island but divided Busan and Kyongnam administrative district, so complicated in the appropriate selection to Busan New Port Administration. The research method which was used in this study accounted for overlapping between attributes, and introduced the HFP( Hierarchical Fuzzy Process) method that can perform an operation.

To increase port productivity and efficiency and also to avoid disadvantages of public port management, a port authority system h1s been introduced worldwide. The Korea Port Authority Act was enacted in 2003 and Incheon Port Authority was established in July 2005. The objective of this paper is to develop a strategy of Incheon Port Authority using SWOT/AHP method Research findings show that possibilities of business expansion and growth as well as geographical advantages of Incheon Port are identified as its strength The opportunities of Incheon Port Authority are continuous increase of cargo handling volumes in the Yellow sea rim and expansion of Free Trade Zone. A government two-port policy and growing its dependence on China and rapid growth of more competitors in domestic and overseas are considered to be threat. Its weaknesses include superannuated Incheon port facilities and port hinterland shortages. Based on SWOT analysis combined with AHP method this paper suggests S/O strategy, W/O strategy, S/T strategy, and W/T strategy as a strategic development plan of Incheon Port Authority.

The sustainable operation and development of ports is a key industry for Korea's national economy. It is increasingly more important to resolve conflicts with local communities due to port environmental problems such as air pollution, water pollution, noise and ecosystem destruction while securing port competitiveness through infrastructure expansion. In case of the Busan New Port development project in Korea, construction has been temporally suspended due to conflict with local fishermen over marine sand mining for construction. A primary reason for this is the absence and limitation of qualitative port environmental impact assessment methodologies in Korea. This includes the current investigation of fisheries damaged by ports. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to propose economic valuation methods for assessing environmental impacts that are essential for efficient port environmental management and for sustainable port operation and development in Korea. To do this, this study examines the overall port environmental problems and their effects (damages) through the analysis of environmental policies and case studies of domestic and overseas ports. Then economic valuation methods are suggested for total economic values (TEV) of damaged environmental goods and services. Among the proposed methods, Habitat Equivalency Analysis (HEA), as a more scientific data based method, was applied to estimate marine ecosystem service damages from the designation of Busan New Port Anchorages. Finally, based on the study results, more efficient port environmental management will be achieved through the institutional adoption of the proposed economic impact assessment methods for port environmental damages.

Localization is one of the typical phenomena of this age in Korea. Localization of Port is on the beginning in this Country as the introduction of Port Authority in the Port of Busan and Incheon. As the condition of world trade has been changed, the level of Competition among Ports is severer than before, especially in the East Asia Area. Since many experts of Port say that centralized control system of Port has many Problems, some other Port Control system has been studied and suggested for long time. One of the Countermeasures of these Port Problems is Port Authority System which aims the balance of central and local development. Port Authority System does not want to achieve only Public Duty or Utility but also Commerciality which is fundamentally very important for the survival of Port. In this Paper, the necessities of Port Authority Introduction in Korea was explained. And Port Authority System will be introduced 2004 year in Busan Port firstly and Incheon Port, secondly. The Main Contents of Port Authority System was suggested , in this Paper and some Problems which shall be considered for better operation of Port Authority System was investigated. I suggested some countermeasures, endeavoring the competitive advantage of Port and higher Port Performance, in terms of 3 Dimensions. One is in the side of basic Policy Directions, the other is the activation schemes of functional department which composed of many activities of Port Authority System and the third is in the side of operation body. As this paper, however, has some limitations and Port Authority System is just beginning stage, future research shall be continued in real and concrete level.
