Abstract: Korea has designated free economic zones to build the foundation for national economic development by setting up special economic zones to be more competitive in cities. On August 5, 2003, the government designated Songdo, Yeongjong and Cheongna districts in Incheon as free economic zones. But while the development should have been completed nearly three years before the end of the development, the development has been slow and the population, foreign direct investment and other business results are far from the initial plan. Therefore, in this study, we will investigate the various problems occurring in the Incheon Free Economic Zone, investigate the causes of the problem, and then compare and analyze the Incheon Free Economic Zone and China's special economic zones. The two institutions share similar characteristics in many areas, but the Incheon Free Economic Zone system has yet to be settled, as the special economic zone has played a significant role in economic development in China. Therefore, the study is expected to find a solution to the problems of the free economic zones in Incheon and provide directions for future development.

This research investigates the characteristics, principles, advantages, factors and problems of cluster development in Kazakhstan, and identifies the prerequisites, conditions and stages of organizing clusters on the framework of special economic zones. In this research, we used methods, which will allow analyzing of the organization industrial clusters in special economic zones in Kazakhstan. The author studied international experience of cluster development and the efficiency of the use of the model of the "rhombus effect" with account the specific features of interaction between the participants of the cluster, analysis of the legal framework for the formation and development of clusters. These have been identified as the more important or strategically necessary clusters in Kazakhstan: innovation-technological cluster, innovation-education cluster, innovation-petrochemical cluster, innovative-metallurgical cluster, transport and logistics cluster, textile industry cluster, tourism cluster, agro cluster, construction cluster, medical and pharmaceutical cluster. Firstly, the results suggest that the interaction of science, education, business and government in the development and implementation of innovation policy is not sufficiently structured to provide a balanced representation of the interests of the range of various innovative enterprises in Kazakhstan. Secondly, the legal basis of cluster development in Kazakhstan is determined. Need to develop mechanisms for the implementation of promising direction. Thirdly, the clusters can be formed in the existing special economic zones, allowing them to get right to the mass production of high-tech products that are developed.

Despite competing strategical interests over Southeast Asia that have emerged in the last decade, with the launch of wide scope geopolitical strategies Chinese and Japanese initiatives have been characterized by a certain degree of implicit coordination, particularly in offering support to the Myanmar state's territorializing strategies for economic development. The case of the Thilawa Special Economic Zones (SEZ) is exemplary, as it was a Japan-led project which became a model and benchmark example for similar development initiatives supported by the People's Republic of China.

The paper addresses the importance of redesigning strategies for resilient and sustainable regional economic development - by applying strategic approaches to free economic zones for the digital economy. The purpose of the paper is to provide a broad comparative perspective on developed versus developing country efforts to use free economic zone programs to enhance various economic and social objectives. First, the paper introduces the chronicle experiences of free economic zone programs in South Korea and mainland China - developed versus developing economies. The main results of the analysis indicate that (1) achieving the goals and objectives of free economic zones is challenging over time; (2) trying to upgrade the technical component, develop knowledge-based and eco-friendly new industries, or value-added to the economy through free economic zone policies is even challenging; and (3) incentives and other program-specific variables are highly context-specific and not structurally correlated with free economic zone performance. In addition, the paper shows that the initial conception of the role of free economic zones has undergone significant change as individual countries have tried to enhance the contributions and avoid damages from incorporating free economic zones into their development strategy respectively, over time.

한국정부는 FDI 국내 유치를 위해 외국인투자에 특례와 지원을 제공하는 경제특구를 도입하였으나 성과가 미흡하다는 문제의식이 존재한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 실증분석을 통해 노동생산성, 영업이익률, 투자성향, 혁신성향, 고용성향 등의 기업단위 성과가 경제특구에 입주한 외국인투자기업과 국내기업 간에, 그리고 외국인투자기업들 간에 유의한 차이를 나타내고 있는지를 회귀분석과 PSM 분석을 통해 살펴보았다. 본 논문의 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 노동생산성 및 영업이익률 측면에서 살펴보았을 때 외국인투자기업들이 국내기업들에 비해 효율성 및 수익성에 있어 더 높은 성과를 나타낸다는 가설을 지지할 실증적 증거는 발견할 수 없었다. 둘째, 투자성향에 있어서는 외국인투자지역에 분포한 외국인투자기업들이 국내기업들에 비해 높은 투자성향을 보였다. 셋째, 연구개발투자 측면에 있어 외국인투자기업 전체적으로는 국내기업에 비해 높은 투자성향을 보인 것으로 나타나나 이것이 경제특구정책에 의한 것임을 나타내는 실증적 증거는 존재하지 않는다. 교육훈련투자에 있어서는 비특구 외국인투자기업의 역할이 가장 크며, 특구지역 중에서는 경제자유구역에 위치한 기업들의 교육훈련투자가 국내기업들보다 더 높다는 실증적 증거가 발견되었다. 마지막으로 고용성향에 있어서는 외국인투자기업들의 성과가 더 높았으나 이것이 경제특구정책에 의한 것임을 나타내는 실증적 증거가 존재하지는 않았다.

최근 중국정부는 해양경제개발에 초점을 두고 네 개의 해양경제개발시범구를 산동성, 절강성, 광동성, 복건성에 설정하였다. 등소평의 개혁 개방 정책이후 근래 해양경제개발시범구까지 중국의 해양산업정책은 현존정책을 부분적으로 수정 보완하는 연속적 점진적인 변화과정이었으므로, 본 논문은 이러한 정책변화를 잘 설명할 수 있는 이론모형으로 정책학의 점증주의모형(Incremental Model)을 이론적 틀로 하여, 새 중국 해양산업정책인 해양경제개발시범구 정책의 본질, 그 역사적 형성과정, 현재 집행상황, 이전과 다른 새로운 정책특징과 시사점을 발견함과 함께 미래의 점진적 정책변화도 전망 예측해 보았다. 과거 중국 해양산업정책과 차별화되는 새 정책의 주요 특징으로는 1)첨단산업과 과학기술을 포함하는 새로운 발전모형이라는 점, 2)고도의 민주적 참여가 보장된다는 점, 3)정책목표로 해양경제발전뿐 아니라 안보영토, 환경생태, 과학교육 등의 다양한 목표들도 포괄하고 있다는 점이었다. 향후 우리나라는 중국의 해양경제개발시범구 정책 특징에 대한 올바른 이해를 통하여, 최근 이슈화된 해양경제특구 설정관련 정책구상에서 바람직한 교훈을 얻어야 할 것이다.

In South Korea, there is a growing domestic need for a biotope map which contains ecological and environmental geographic information of a city. After the production of a Urban Ecological Maps(biotope map) by the Seoul metropolitan government in 2000, Natural Environment Conservation Act was revised in 2017 to make it mandatory for a local government to draw up its own urban ecological map. The aim of the present study was to find out ways to utilize an urban ecological map as a mean of communication between natural environment planning and urban planning sectors in a preliminary stage before introducing a big framework of 'environmental and ecological planning.' The northern area of Incheon metropolitan city was selected as the target area for this study. The major research content includes a comparative analysis of special-purpose zones, urban planning zones, restricted development zones, and conservation forests with focus on biotope types and Grades 1 of 'Biotope Type Assessment.' Farmland biotopes and forest biotopes within an area designated as an urban zone (residential, commercial and industrial zones) need to be redesignated as a zone which can conserve them. Especially considering a high possibility of damage to a large scale of natural green areas, these areas need to be readjusted immediately. If the entire area designated as an urban planning zone is to be developed, it is likely to cause serious damage to natural biotopes in the area (56.2%), including farmland biotope (30.4%), forest biotope (15.0%) and grassland biotope (10.8%), and thus, readjustment is needed. In case of a conservation forest, as it can possibly be damaged by the designation of special-purpose zones, it is necessary to match the designation of conservation forests or a special-purpose zones with their biotope types. In conclusion, we present a variety of thematic maps for utilization of an urban ecological map and propose a phase-specific environmental and ecological plan. Phase 1 is the establishment of a urban plan in consideration of ecological status; Phase 2 is the independent establishment of an environmental and ecological plan by an environment department; Phase 3 is an integrated management of ecological planning system and urban planning system.

제주국제자유도시는 세계화 시대 경제위기 극복과 새로운 국가경쟁력 확보 등의 당위성을 바탕으로 지방의 적극적인 추진의지와 중앙의 정책적 제도적 지원을 통해 '21세기 동북아 중심도시'를 목표로 야심차게 출범하였다. 그러나 국제자유도시 추진이 결정된지 약 20년이 지난 현 시점에서 이러한 발전 비전은 사실상 상실되었다. 이 논문에서는 '이상적 자유시장 경제모델'을 표방한 제주국제자유도시가 발전주의 국가모델의 유산이 여전히 작동하는 한국 경제체제에서 예외적으로 급진적인 신자유주의 개방경제공간을 지향하였고 각종 신자유주의 탈규제 정책의 실험장으로서의 역할을 자임하였지만, 환경과 사회경제적 모순 격화로 인한 지역사회 갈등의 심화, 중앙정부의 형평성 논리 및 제한된 자치권으로 인하여 사실상 실패하였다고 주장한다. 이를 위해 예외공간으로서의 경제특구에 대한 이론적 논의를 기반으로 제주국제자유도시 발전 비전의 변화과정을 분석하고, 다양한 예외적 제도와 공간적 장치들이 제주를 어떻게 예외공간화하고 있는지 살펴보았다.

It is difficult to examine the causal relation of pollution damages because the time gap between pollution cause and effect is large and new pollutants are continuously being produced. Their many environmental effects are not promptly studied. As both the study of causal relation about pollution and the pollutant treatment are becoming highly advanced by the development of science and environmental technology, both the economy and balance on environmental regulation may be discussed. It is reasonable to decide environmental policy in consideration of close relation between both the generation and resolution of environmental problems and of technological developments because environmental problems are related to complicated social problems and scientific technologies. First item in policy decision about environmental control and management is preferentially to consider the way of prevention. It is necessary to prevent pollution by regulating the installment of environmental pollution facility into the environmentally sensitive areas, like water supply source and to regulate land utilization as a method to achieve pollution prevention. Second is a consideration of environmental technology development. This is a solution which can accomplish the development of environmental technology and the reinforcement of economic competition. Third is the coexistence of environment and economy. It is necessary to consider economy in connection with environmental problems and environment in economic problem. Then, we can enjoy a healthy life as well as economic affluence. Fourth is the enlargement of environmental management means. Environmental management means must be diversified because environmental cause and effect are varied. For Improving the land use regulation system, it is necessary to consider both land use regulation status and pollutant toxicity with the development of environmental technology. Land use must be approached by classifying land to 3 levels; water source protection zone and water front zone, special zone 1 and 2, rancus and other zones. Land regulation policy to prevent any accident in water source protection zone, waterfront zone, and special zone must be continuously upgraded. However, economical consideration in other zones is required by the development of environmental technology.

우리나라의 경제자유구역은 2003년 인천, 부산 진해, 광양만을 지정하여 운영해 오다 2008년 황해, 새만금 군산, 대구 경북의 3개 지역을 추가로 지정하여 총 6개의 경제자유구역을 운영하고 있다. 경제자유구역은 무역의존도가 높은 우리나라에서 새로운 경제성장의 견인차 역할을 수행할 수 있는 제도라 할 수 있다. 그러나, 현재의 경제자유구역 운영방식으로는 당초의 목적을 달성하는데 여러 가지의 문제점을 낳고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 경제자유구역의 운영실태 분석을 통하여 향후 우리나라 경제자유구역의 성공적 운영을 위한 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 첫째, 외국자본유치를 위한 소프트웨어 경쟁력을 강화할 필요성이 있다. 현재 우리나라의 경제자유구역은 하드웨어 측면의 정주여건 즉, 토지개발에만 초점을 맞추고 있으며, 경영환경지원은 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 경영환경지원의 획기적인 개선을 통하여 외국자본유치를 위한 활동을 전개해야 할 것이다. 둘째, 각 정제자유구역별 지역 특색에 맞는 투자유치 모델을 새롭게 정립할 필요하다. 현재의 기본구상을 재조정하여 유치산업분야의 중복을 방지하고 나아가 각 경제자유구역별 차별화된 투자유치 전략을 개발해야 한다. 셋째, 경제자유구역청의 독립성과 전문성 강화를 위한 제도적 장치가 개선되어야 한다. 각 경제자유구역청의 전문성과 독립성을 강화하기 위하여 인력구성이나, 운영규정 등에 있어 경제자유구역청의 권한을 대폭 확대하고 이를 견제하고 감시할 수 있는 방향으로 법 개정이 이루어져야 한다.
