With the globalization of economy, there is keen competition among countries to be a logistics hub and companies are striving to be first in establishing logistics system centering on advantageous sites, especially airport and seaports, to perform supply, production and distribution. Korea competing with Northeast Asia countries is also working out strategies in order to make Korea penninsula a logistics center of Northeast Asia taking advantage of its geographical strength. Gwangyang port has designated as Free Economic Zone together with Pusan and Jinhae, Incheon from October 24th, 2003. However, the introduction of Free Economic Zone in Korea lagged behind other major countries and it has a lot of operational problems. Approximately 600 areas worldwide are designated and operated as a Free Economic Zone and Gwangyang port and its surrounding area has several points to be settled as one of FEZ. First one is its limited functions and related laws on Gwangyang Bay. Next is imperfection on development, investment and management system of the FEZ. Lack of promotion activities could be one of the problems. If we want to activate the FEZ, we must induce investment at Gwangyang Bay. This paper analyzes the above problems and presents various measures to activate Gwangyang Free Economic Zone by inducing investment for innovation cluster as follows Benchmarking to promote Gwangyang Free Economic Zone as follows Benchmarking other countries' system, governmental support, introduction & logistics functions, early development of the hinterland, supply ofeffective one-stop service, investment attraction into the area and diversified promotion & marketing activities.

Purpose - Multiple stakeholders-including politicians, investors, and the wider public-have questioned the value of investing in port infrastructure improvements and the contributions they can make to economic performance. Design/methodology - This paper presents an empirical study of 56 countries with seaports from the year 2006 to 2019 to determine how the quality of port infrastructure affects its contribution in terms of trade openness and economic growth. To this end, this study applies hierarchical multiple regression analysis with panel data to empirically examine the economic impact of port infrastructure quality on the relationship between trade openness and economic growth. After the 56 selected countries were categorized as developed or developing, a multi-group panel data analysis was conducted. Findings - The results of this study show that trade openness has a significant positive effect on the national economy. The findings also indicate that, although developing countries should expect greater economic growth after investing in port infrastructure, this relationship weakens as developing countries become richer. Originality/value - The findings of this study not only elucidate the relationship between trade openness and national economic growth, but they also emphasize the importance of trade openness and port infrastructure in national economic growth, particularly among developing countries.

Purpose - This study investigates the impact of inland port development in China on the promotion of bilateral trade flows between China and South Korea. Design/methodology - The probable association between the establishment of inland ports and Sino-Korea trade was estimated using gravity models. In this regards, two sets of data were collected. The first dataset consists of the baseline variables of a gravity model, while the second one includes variables of logistics infrastructure development. The indicators of logistics infrastructure development include inland ports, the amount of government expenditure on transport infrastructure, the lengths of roads and railways, the number of trucks and the number of logistics industry workforce. Findings - The results show that inland port development has a positive impact on facilitating bilateral trade between China and South Korea. However, the positive association holds only for Chinese regions with a large trade volume and a proximity to seaports. In other regions, the impact of inland ports is not statistically significant. Originality/value - To the best knowledge of the authors, this study is the first attempt to explore the economic impact of inland ports in China. In addition, the findings in this paper provide both policy and managerial implications for the future development of inland ports, such as the strategic location of inland ports and integrated intermodal operations.

In line with the trend of global transport volume which has increased rapidly over the years, internal transportation in seaports is always conducted with high frequency. Thus, there is always much potential for traffic jams as well as high transportation costs and emissions. Many efforts have been initiated to streamline the inter-terminal container transport (ITT) through the development of automated vehicles and equipment as well as using private transport facilities to overcome these limitations. The purpose of this paper to develop a framework to design, analyze, and validate the efficiency of a new ITT system in a port area based on the monorail network and automatic vehicles. First, the number of shuttles and loaders was determined depending on the transport demand scenario. Next, a simulation model was applied to evaluate the system performance as well as gain more insight into the working process of the ITT system. Finally, by setting goals for the performance indicators, the results showed that the system was highly efficient with 100% of the containers delivered to their destination on time. Besides, a series of other performance tracking was provided to provide insight into the system's capabilities.

본 논문은 구한말에 ‘신작로’의 건설과정을 시ㆍ공간적으로 살펴봄으로써 교통체계의 급변기에 그것이 어떤 계기로, 어떤 과정으로. 어떤 양태로 진행되었는지를 역사지리학적으로 검토하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 연구의 규모는 전국 스케일로 하여, 연구시기는 통감부 시정하에 있었던 1905년부터 1910년까지로 하였다. 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 신작로의 계획 및 건설의 목적은 군사적인 목적보다 경제적, 행정적 목적에 치중하고 있었다. 노선은 중요한 두 지점간을 연결하는 단거리 노선이 많았고, 도로를 이용한 네트워크 구성은 간과되었다 둘째, 노선형태는 한일합방 이전에 일본인들이 활동 근거지로 삼은 개항장이나 철도역과 인근의 경제적으로 관심을 가진 장소 혹은 도청소재지 등 지역중심지를 연결하는 형태를 취했다. 셋째, 간선철도가 이미 존재하던 곳에서는 철도역을, 철도가 없던 지역 즉 함경도나 전라도 등지에서는 개항장 등 항구를 기점으로 한 교통체계를 보였다. 종래 서양 연구자에 의한 교통발달모델은 항구 중심으로 내륙 진입노선이 생기고, 최종단계에서 내륙 관통노선이 형성되는 것으로 되어 있는데, 한반도의 경우 진입노선보다 먼저 간선철도라는 내륙관통노선이 군사목적으로 생겼기 때문에, 독특한 교통발달단계가 나타났다. 이는 동시에 기존모델을 절대시하는 시각에 대해서 의문을 제기한 것이기도 하며, 국가, 지역마다 발달모델은 달라질 수밖에 없다는 증명이기도 하다.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has placed unprecedented pressure on healthcare systems, even in advanced economies. While the number of cases of SARS-CoV-2 in Africa compared to other continents has so far been low, there are concerns about under-reporting, inadequate diagnostic tools, and insufficient treatment facilities. Moreover, proactiveness on the part of African governments has been under scrutiny. For instance, issues have emerged regarding the responsiveness of African countries in closing international borders to limit trans-continental transmission of the virus. Overdependence on imported products and outsourced services could have contributed to African governments' hesitation to shut down international air and seaports. In this era of emerging and re-emerging pathogens, we recommend that African nations should consider self-sufficiency in the health sector as an urgent priority, as this will not be the last outbreak to occur. In addition to the Regional Disease Surveillance Systems Enhancement fund (US$600 million) provided by the World Bank for strengthening health systems and disease surveillance, each country should further establish an epidemic emergency fund for epidemic preparedness and response. We also recommend that epidemic surveillance units should create a secure database of previous and ongoing pandemics in terms of aetiology, spread, and treatment, as well as financial management records. Strategic collection and analysis of data should also be a central focus of these units to facilitate studies of disease trends and to estimate the scale of requirements in preparation and response to any future pandemic or epidemic.

South Korea opened Incheon international airport(IIA) in march 29, 2001, with high expectations of becoming the distribution hub of Northeast Asia and aiming at a world best air hub. IIA compares quite well with any other leading airports in the world in it's facilities for the movement of people and vehicles. However, with the sequence of events following the September, 2001. terrorist attack and the war in Iraq, South Korea, an ally of the US, cannot be considered a safe haven from terrorism. At a point in time when national security is given utmost importance, it is necessary to reevaluate the security of airports, because international terrorism can only occur via air and seaports. Nowadays all the countries of the world have entered into competition for their national interests and innovation of their images. with the increasing role of international airports also comes an increased likelihood as a terrorist target, because it can affect so many people and countries. From the condition of current international terrorism, we can realize that our IIA is not completely safe from a terrorist attack. The major part of counterterrorism is event control process. It's very important for quickly saves an accident and rescues a life of person, In addition for the normalization which the airport operation is prompt. In conclusion, we should secure the legal responsibility and establish and establish a system under which we can work actively in order to implement counter terror activities from being taken an airport.

한국의 물류산업은 가장 빠르게 성장하고 있는 국가 기간산업이다. 이러한 물류산업의 발전을 뒷받침하기 위해 정부는 물류관련 법령의 제 개정이 빈번하게 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 물류산업의 범위가 광범위하고 관련부처가 많아 법률의 적용이 제외되는 분야도 있고, 중복 규정, 하위법령 정비 부족 등 많은 문제점을 내포하고 있다. 먼저 국회가 제정한 법률을 통해 물류와 유통의 정의 및 물류산업 및 유통산업의 범위를 정리할 필요가 있다. 국회에 계류중인 물류정책기본법에서는 광의의 물류 정의를 규정하고 있으며 향후 유통의 개념과 중복 내지 충돌할 우려도 있다. 물류산업에 대한 정의 및 범위를 명확히 하는 것도 필요한데 현재 한국표준산업분류에서 물류는 운수업으로 되어 있으며, 여행업과 장례 운영업까지 포함되어 있다. 그리고 물류시설업과 물류서비스업에 대한 구분도 명확하지 않다. 2006년 도입된 종합물류업의 인증과 발전을 위해서는 운송업, 물류시설업, 물류서비스업으로 구성되는 물류사업에 대한 정확한 통계가 필요하다. 따라서 물류관련 정부 부처는 통계청 등과 협의하여 물류산업의 범위를 명확히 하여 정확한 통계를 바탕으로 한 정부정책 수립과 물류사업의 발전이 이루어질 수 있도록 해야 할 것이다. 물류사업 발전을 위해 지속적인 규제완화와 물류서비스업에 관한 지원과 육성을 위한 법제정비가 필요할 것으로 보이며, 전체 물류관련 법규의 내용 가운데 조정이 필요한 분야는 물류관련 국가계획이다. 국가물류기본계획을 포함하여 유통, 항만, 공항 등 각 분야별 행정계획의 작성이 법에 규정되어 있으나 계획 상호간의 조정 장치는 마련되어 있지 않다. 그리고 정부부처 간에 물류표준, 물류정보의 보안 등 여러 분야도 상호 중복 규정되지 않도록 하는 노력도 필요할 것으로 보인다.
