This study aimed to determine the importance of the policies formulated through the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries' master plan for Seafarer's policy. To confirm the importance of the Seafarer's policy, AHP analysis was conducted on the 3 main policies and 15 auxiliary policies established by the master plan for Seafarer's policy. To analyze the reliability of the survey, we investigated the inconsistency ratio of 34 respondents retrieved. We found that 25 respondents validated the reliability of the findings. The analysis showed that the policy of establishing a stable supply and demand system was the most important among the main policies for seafarers, while the policy of fostering seafarers linked to jobs was the most important one among the auxiliary policies. By group, the government recognized establishing a stable supply and demand system as a priority of policy. Dif erences were found on the fact that improving working conditions and expanding welfare were important for seafarers. This study, which analyzed the importance of the Seafarer's policy through AHP analysis, has the following implications. We established guidelines to enhance efficiency, such as budget allocation by policy according to the importance in implementing Seafarer's policies. Furthermore, our study can be used as basic data for establishing a master plan for Seafarer's policy by comparing differences in importance per group.

For a long time, the ocean was regarded as unknown area ruled by god, consequently, not so much things were developed in scientific methods and activities. Despite a rapid development of geographic information systems(GIS) marine and ocean fields still remained in the scope of traditional tools and intuitive experiences by the late of 1990. However, land based concepts and technology models require additional customization to apply GIS effectively in marine domains, which are resulted from her dynamic, complex and seamless massive nature. This paper gives a brief review of marine spatial data characteristics and also presents strategic approaches to meet the unique marine GIS requirements.

The Korean government has put mamy efforts into the protection of ecological values of coastal and marine ecosystems since the mid 1990s, recognizing ecological values and economic contributions of coastal and marine ecosystems. Rapid increase of coastal and marine protected areas in terms of number and size implies the innovative change of national policy regarding ecosystem protection. As of the end of 2006, the total number and size of the protected areas account for 425 and $10,666.8km^2$ respectively. Despite of this achievement, the current policy regime on the protected areas has not been quite successful dealing with in managerial issues. The ambiguity and the lacking objectivity of designation criteria have, been causes of pending issues such as conflict outbreaks, 'paper parks', duplicated designation, etc. This paper aims at improving current designation criteria based on AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process). The suggestion of the study covers both the new designation criteria and the weighing factor on each criterion considering different ecological and socio-economic characteristics of 'wetland protected area' and 'marine protected area'.

해양환경문제는 지역적으로 시작하여 광역적으로 확산되기 때문에 지방정부에서 사고 시에 신속하게 대응하고 상시에 사전예방적으로 관리하는 것이 중요하다. 현행 해양환경관리는 대부분 중앙정부가 담당하고 있기 때문에 지방정부의 역할을 보다 강화할 필요가 있다고 본다. 본고는 역대 부산광역시의회 안건처리일람을 분석함으로써 해양환경관리 부문에 있어서 지방의회의 역할을 분석하고자 하였다. 이는 지방정부 정책형성과정의 공식적 참여자로서, 또한 지역주민의 의견을 수렴하는 대표기관으로서 지방분권 시대에 그 중요성이 점차 높아지고 있는 지방의회의 역할을 되짚어 본다는 측면에서 의미가 있다고 하겠다.

The ocean provides with not only the global environment and ecology, which is essential for human beings survival, but also various resources for human beings prosperity. The ocean security is to secure and keep the benefits that the ocean provides with to human beings. It is essential to keep enforcement measures for the ocean security. Major marine countries are challenging to secure ocean environment and resources since UNCLOS. The utmost policy priority should be given to the ocean security in Korea.

An offshore waste disposal facility refers to a landfill site for final landfilling of stabilized inorganic solid waste such as land and marine waste incineration materials, and the aim of such a facility is to solve the problem of insufficient waste disposal space on land and create and develop environmentally friendly marine spaces. The purpose of this study is to prepare guidelines for the construction of offshore waste disposal facilities, which reflect the need and importance of paying sufficient heed to environmental considerations from the initial stage of the project, in order to investigate, predict, and assess how such guidelines will affect the marine environment in relation to the construction of offshore waste disposal facilities, with the goal of minimizing the impact on and damage to the environment. For the purpose of this research, guidelines focusing on the construction of offshore waste disposal facilities were derived through an analysis of domestic cases and similar foreign cases and an assessment of their level of compliance with existing EIA guidelines through the operation of a discussion forum. In order to review the EIA report on similar cases in Korea, 17 EIA documents (2005~2016) for dredged soil dumping areas and ash ponds of thermal power plants were analyzed to investigate the status of marine organisms, marine physics, marine water quality, and marine sediment and to understand what types of problems can occur and what improvement measures can be taken. The purpose of these guidelines were to minimize damage to the marine environment by promoting EIA protocols in accordance with scientific and systematic procedures, to reduce the consultation period related to projects, to resolve social conflicts, and to reduce economic costs.

Recently, it has been emphasized that 'marine special economic zone' need to be designated and developed. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to analyse on successful growth factors of 'marine special economic zone'. This study deals with the terms of three connection success factors which are a firm's subjective factors, a industrial environment factors, and a governmental policy factors. According to analysis results of the three successful growth factors, a firm's subjective factors(4.11 score) are scored at the most ones of the three successful growth factors, to be compared with a industrial environment factors(3.89 score). with a government policy factors(3.72 score). Therefore, first of all, it is important to enhance competitiveness of 'marine special economic zone' through as follows, a firm's subjective factors : (1) to procure concentrated market strategy and real market capacity, (2) to promote customer service, (3) to procure speedy satisfaction of customer needs and confidence, (4) to enhance competitiveness through standing in a trio of connection growth model. And, the next, we have to enhance competitiveness of 'marine special economic zone' through considering a industrial environment factors, that is, sustainable growth of marine industry, clustering of marine industry, expansion of infrastructure, etc., and a government policy factors, that is, leading law improvement and policy of leading 'marine special economic zone' designation and development, etc.,

Along with an increase in marine activities every year, the frequency of marine accidents is on the rise. Accordingly, various research activities and policies for marine safety are being implemented. Despite these efforts, the number of accidents are increasing every year, bringing their effectiveness into question. Preliminary studies relying on annual statistical reports provide precautionary measures for items that stand out significantly, through the comparison of statistical provision items. Since the 2000s, large-scale marine accidents have repeatedly occurred, and case studies have examined the "accident response." Likewise, annual statistics or accident cases are used as core data in policy formulation for domestic maritime safety. However, they are just a summary of post-accident results. In this study, limitations of current marine research and policy are evaluated through a literature review of case studies and analyses of marine accidents. In addition, the ontology of the marine accident information classification system will be revised to improve the current limited usage of the information through an attribute analysis of boating accident status reports and text mining. These aspects consist of the reporter, the report method, the rescue organization, corrective measures, vulnerability of response, payloads, cause of oil spill, damage pattern, and the result of an accident response. These can be used consistently in the future as classified standard terms to collect and utilize information more efficiently. Moreover, the research proposes a data collection and quality assurance method for the practical use of ontology. A clear understanding of the problems presently faced in marine safety will allow "suf icient quality information" to be leveraged for the purpose of conducting various researches and realizing effective policies.
