Gyeongin Ara Waterway will be open on Oct., 2011, Which is the first inland artificial waterway constructed in Korea. There have been arguments about the environmental issues and economic effectiveness, however, it's now time to focus on the safety of navigation at the waterway to protect human life, property and environment. Therefore this paper aims at examining the establishment of the rule of safe navigation and management for the safe and effective management of the waterway and tries to draft the rules based on these examinations. The draft rule consists of 7 chapters, which are general rules, general rules on navigation, specific rules on navigation, general restrictions, emergency response, restrictions on navigation and penalties in consideration of the characteristic of Gyeongin Ara Waterway and regulations on navigation in major canals in the world.

The Gyeongin Ara Waterway is a regional development project designed to transport cargo by sea and to utilize the surrounding waterfront area to enjoy tourism and leisure. It is being used as a space for demonstration projects for urban air transportation (UAM), which has recently been attracting attention, and various efforts are being made at the local level to strengthen cultural and tourism functions and revitalize local food. This study examined the perception and trends of tourism consumers on the Gyeongin Ara Waterway before and after the outbreak of COVID-19. The research method utilized semantic network analysis based on social network analysis. As a result of the study, first, before the outbreak of COVID-19, key words such as bicycle, Han River, riding, Gimpo, Seoul, hotel, cruise ship, Korea Water Resources Corporation, emotion, West Sea, weekend, and travel showed a high frequency of appearance. After the outbreak of COVID-19, keywords such as cafe, discovery, women, Gimpo, restaurant, bakery, observatory, La Mer, and cruise ship showed a high frequency of appearance. Second, the results of the degree centrality analysis showed that before the outbreak of COVID-19, there was increased interest in accommodations for tourism, such as Marina Bay and hotels. After the outbreak of COVID-19, interest in food such as specific bakeries and cafes such as La Mer was found to be high. Third, due to the CONCOR analysis, five keyword clusters were formed before the outbreak of COVID-19, and the number of keyword clusters increased to eight after the outbreak of COVID-19.

This research has developed the criteria and index for systematically and objectively assessing the quality of river water by fixing the various factors that affect Gyeongin ARA waterway's water quality through analysis with the Delphi Technique and analytic hierarchy program (AHP) Method. Based on the results, the highest criteria are, in order of importance, physical and environmental factors 28%, administrative factors 26%, natural fixed factors 26% and finally, cultural and social factors 20%. The three dimensions of the criteria show that for the internal physical and environmental factors, the most important are the loss of self-purification capacity, and the external factors are Gulpocheon and the sludge deposit due to Gyulhweon-weir the bridge. The facility factor in management was affected by the coagulation and waste water disposal facilities. The problem for the policy and institutional factors was seen in the regulatory area. The aquatic ecology/ point pollution source for the natural fixed factors show that it is due to the polluted water of Gulpo-cheon and the living environment/ non-point pollution source is shown through the inflow water from other rivers. Cultural and social factors show that the economical causes were due to the cargo and passenger flight operations and the external factors of having a lack of sewage treatment equipment have an importance effect. In order to estimate the order of priority through logical evidence and objectivity, future research must be continued on the evaluation indexes to measure the specific methodology and technique needed to improve the Gyeongin ARA Waterway.

As competition in domestic and overseas ports intensify, new and small domestic ports are realizing certain limitations to independently secure competitiveness. This study collected data over 60 months with five modifications for container and general cargo volume around Gyeongin Port. Short-period (12 months) cargo volume was forecasted, which revealed the need for a middle-to-long-term development plan. First, the hinterland logistics complex of Gyeongin Port is expected to contribute to the coastal maritime facility through the quasi-public system for fishery product transportation and passenger services. It proposes to achieve this by opening channels to and from China for precision machinery, home network systems, LEDs, and machine industry items. second, specializing the ultra-light cargo transport route, and connecting the coastal island areas of the 5 West Sea Islands to Ara Waterway (Integrated Fishery Product Center of the 5 West Sea Islands). Third, on the basis of organic cooperation of government? local government ? port, the incentive and pre-circular support system would be required, and lastly, it shall carry out the adjustment of functions in nearby ports and specialization strategy simultaneously through the integrated operation of the ports in the capital areas.

This paper examined the changes in flow patterns due to a blockage of tidal currents in the sea areas between Incheon North Port and Yeomha Channel when it would be influenced by the construction of the Incheon North Port Yeongjongdo dredged soil dumping ground and Incheon Bay tidal power plant. The numerical simulation was performed for three cases: before and after constructing the Incheon North Port Yeongjongdo dredged soil dumping ground and after the construction of the sea-dyke on the east side of the Incheon Bay tidal power plant. The simulation results showed that the tidal directions and currents velocity were similar before and after the construction of the Yeongjongdo dredged soil dumping ground. After the construction of the East Sea-dyke of Incheon tide power plant, however, the tidal currents patterns changed significantly due to flow blockage toward Gyeonggi Bay. The main flow was formed in the north-south direction, and the tidal currents velocity increased slightly on the downstream areas (A,B,C) of Hodo, which is the entrance of the Ara Waterway. The tidal currents at the mouth(D) of Yeomha Channel decreased significantly. The tidal currents of the west side of Se-eodo and the east side of the sea-dyke were rotary currents. The results of this study will provide basic data for the environmental impact assessment and the operation of the Gyeongin Ara Waterway.

경인 아라뱃길은 국내에서 운영된 사례가 없는 기수역 운하로서 유량 및 수환경 관리 등을 포함한 수질관리 상황을 종합적으로 평가하기 위한 대책이 필요하다. 또한 경인 아라뱃길로 유입되는 오염원에 대한 현황 및 현장조사를 실시하고, 유입 오염원인을 정확히 파악하는 것이 중요하다. 따라서 경인 아라뱃길 유역의 수질조사 및 분석, 수질예측을 통해 수질관리 방안을 제시하였다. 분석결과, 홍수시 경인 아라뱃길로 유입되는 굴포천의 DO, BOD, SS는 삼정천의 영향으로 상승하였다. 삼정천은 굴포천 상류에서 부천시와 인천시의 관할 행정구역 면적에 비해 인구밀도가 높고 축산 농가 및 산업계로 인한 미처리 유출수에 의해 굴포천에 직 간접적인 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 판단된다. 또한 굴포천 하수처리장 방류 이후 BOD, T-N, T-P의 경우 급상승하였다. 따라서 굴포천 중류의 부천시 삼정동과 인천시 계양구 내 하수 및 폐수를 하수처리장을 통해 배출할 수 있는 공동처리장 운영 등의 처리 방안이 필요하다. 또한 EFDC 모형을 이용한 해수와 담수의 성분비 변화에 대한 경인 아라뱃길의 수질을 예측한 결과, 해수가 많을수록 수질이 BOD, COD 등이 양호 한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나, 염분에 의한 지하수 및 주변환경 변화에 대한 영향을 고려하였을 때, 해수와 담수비를 조절하는 것보다 성분비를 유지하고 유입되는 양을 확대한다면, 경인 아라뱃길의 수질관리는 효과적일 것으로 판단한다.
