북한은 마그네사이트, 금, 아연, 철, 희유금속을 비롯하여 금속광물자원과 석탄 등 에너지 자원이 비교적 풍부한 것으로 파악되고 있다. 북한은 광물자원 개발 및 처리와 밀접한 6곳의 공업지대가 형성되어 있고, 아직까지는 잘 보전된 자원관련 인프라를 유지하고 있으며 러시아의 영향을 받아 자원관련 기초기술이 발달된 것으로 파악되고 있다 우리나라는 년 간 약 8조원의 광물 및 석탄자원을 수입하는 자원-에너지 다소비국가이다. 남북한 자원개발협력은 북한의 풍부한 자원, 자원개발 및 처리 관련 인프라, 기초 기술력 둥 장점을 활용하고 한국의 자본 및 러시아의 선진 자원처리기술과 접목시키는 방향으로 검토되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

The objectives of this article are to identify the current status of agricultural infrastructure in North Korea and to suggest some cooperation measures among South and North Koreas and international agencies in order to develop the North Korea's agricultural infrastructure. The area of cultivated land in North Korea is 1,992 thousand ha (paddy field: 585 thousand ha: upland: 1,407 thousand ha) in 1997. Major water use facilities in North Korea are 1,900 reservoirs (included 100 big dams), 36,400 irrigation pumping stations, 1,600 drainage pumping stations, and 14'a,000 wells. In addition, there is 'two thousand Ri canal construction project' linking the rivers of Aprok, Daeryong, Daedong, Jaeryong, and Yesong. The unit of paddy land consolidation is about 1 ha which is regarded as rational for agricultural mechanization. The project of 'Darak' upland construction to create small size farmland, which has been carried out since 1976 has been unsuccessful due to the shortage of construction equipment. The area of farmland created by reclamation by 1995 is only 75 thousand ha although the potential project area is at)out 320 thousand ha along the western coast. It is due to the fact that civil engineering technologies and equipments are old and investment funds are insufficient. These are a few suggested areas of cooperation among South and North Korea and international agencies in order to improve North Korea's agricultural infrastructure : i) see land reclamation and land consolidation projects to increase paddy fields for rice production; ii) rehabilitation project in farm land areas devastated by flood; and iii) agricultural water development project which including diagnosing and rehabilitating irrigation and drainage facilities.

From 1959 to 1984, over 93,000 Koreans moved to North Korea from Japan as part of a repatriation project conducted during this time. Among them were people who had escaped from North Korea and immigrated to Japan and South Korea as well as the descendants of such people. This research examines the immigration trajectories of North Korean defectors related to the repatriation project and its effects on international relations in East Asia in a migration systems context. Specifically, it focuses on 26 North Korean defectors who have connections with Japan and settled in Japan and South Korea. It argues that the migration pathways of North Korean defectors linked with the repatriation project have been constructed with the cooperation of and amidst conflict between East Asian countries. To respond to the situation, North Korean defectors used their connections with Japan in amicable relations between Japan and China. However, after the relations went sour, defectors turned to informal transitional networks. If these strategies were unavailable, the defectors faced difficulties, unless they received social or capital support from the destination countries. After entering the destination country, those who settled in Japan have experienced different situations due to the inconsistency in administrative proceedings, while those in South Korea have been treated equally as other defectors. In this sense, some defectors have faced precarious situations in their immigration.

With growing expectations for economic cooperation between the two Koreas, there is much interest in participating in the construction of infrastructure in North Korea. In particular, water and sewage infrastructure is the four major social infrastructures in addition to housing, transportation, electricity and telecommunications. North Korea is known to have severe water pollution and ecosystem destruction in major rivers, water pollution and soil pollution in mining areas are serious, and water and sewage infrastructures in cities other than Pyongyang are known to be weak. Preemptive investment in water supply and drainage in North Korea is the foundation for securing the quality of life of the North Korean and is the foundation of public health and industry. It is a leading investment to reduce the cost of unification and is a new growth engine for the water reloded industry. In this study, we proposed a plan to exchange and cooperate in water environment for building water infrastructure of North Korea by examining the data related to water quality, water resources, water disaster, related legal system and human resources exchange situations in North Korea.

본고(本稿)에서는 최근 한반도(韓半島) 주변정세(周邊情勢)의 변화(變化)와 북한(北韓)의 개방전망(開放展望) 및 현재 추진중에 있는 남북한(南北韓) 경제교류(經濟交流)의 현황(現況)을 분석한 다음, 앞으로 추진해 나가야 할 남북한(南北韓) 경제협력(經濟協力)의 기본방향(基本方向)과 물자교류(物資交流) 및 합작투자(合作投資)의 추진(推進) 등 실질적(實質的)인 경제교류(經濟交流) 협력방안(協力方案)을 제시하였다. 현재 북한(北韓)이 처해 있는 대내외적(對內外的) 상황(狀況)은 북한(北韓)의 개방(開放)을 불가피하게 하고 있어, 북한(北韓)은 남북한(南北韓) UN 동시가입(同時加入)을 계기로 침체된 북한경제의 회복을 위해 UNDP, UNIDO 등 국제기구(國際機構)를 통한 대서방(對西方) 경제협력(經濟協力)을 적극 추진할 것으로 예상되며, 이는 남북한(南北韓) 경제협력(經濟協力)의 증대(增大)로 연계될 것이다. 그러나 초기단계(初期段階)의 남북한(南北韓) 경제협력(經濟協力)은 분쟁의 요소가 적고 또한 남북한(南北韓) 관계개선(關係改善)의 파급효과(波及效果)가 큰 분야에서부터 시작하는 것이 필요하며, 쌍방의 수용이 가능한 사업부터 순차적으로 추진하여 현행 간접무역형태(間接貿易形態)에서 직접무역형태(直接貿易形態)로 발전시키고, 제3국으로의 공동진출(共同進出), 남북한(南北韓) 경제협력측면(經濟協力側面)에서의 간접(間接) 직접투자(直接投資)에 이르는 단계별(段階別) 접근(接近)이 필요하며, 연쇄효과(linkage effect)의 극대화를 위해 다단계(多段階) 동시추진(同時推進)의 유연성(柔軟性)도 고려되어야 한다. 또한 남북한(南北韓) 경제교류(經濟交流)의 기본목표(基本目標)는 민족경제공동체(民族經濟共同體)를 형성하기 위한 기반을 조성하는 것이므로 점차 활성화(活性化)가 예상되는 남북한(南北韓)의 경제교류(經濟交流) 협력(協力)의 추진(推進)은 교역단계(交易段階), 자본(資本) 기술협력단계(技術協力段階)뿐만 아니라 민족경제공동체(民族經濟共同體) 형성(形成) 이후 남북한(南北韓) 산업구조조정필요성(産業構造調整必要性) 등 전체의 흐름을 염두에 두고 반드시 장기적(長期的)인 시각(視角)에서 일관성(一貫性) 있게 추진되어야 할 것이다.

The Food Problem of North Korea is well known to all of us. And we, South-Koreans, are oblidged to solve the food problem of North Korea because we should prepare and cope with the reunification of Korean Penninsula in the near future. Although many organizations of the UN (including Korea) are engaged in food-support to North Korea from the humanitarian viewpoint, a great many people are disclosed to the starvation for the food deficiency. Now how to solve the food problem of North Korea? It is the agro-cooperation between South and North Korea. The most realistic method among them is the agro-cultivation in contract.

North Korea is now under the pressure of international sanctions due to its nuclear tests, firing of long-range ballistic missiles, the sinking of the ROK naval frigate the Cheonan, and the artillery attack on Yeonpyeong Island that killed four people. To overcome the burden of sanctions North Korea has exerted various efforts to reconstruct its industries. However, it is very unlikely that these reconstruction efforts would produce significant results due to the structural problems of the antiquated infrastructure of North Korean industries. In the future, it is expected that South Korea will have to cooperate with North Korea for the reconstruction of the North Korean economy after the North Korean nuclear issue will be peacefully resolved. South Korean government has to prepare for the reconstruction with careful planning based on analysis of North Korean industries. But, the number of previous studies that have analyzed the technological level of North Korean industries are quite limited. In preparation for the future inter-Korean industrial cooperation, this study tries to analyze the technological level of North Korean industries. The steel industry has been selected as the focus for the main analysis of this study due to the importance of the steel industry as one of key infrastructure industries. Additionally, this study tests the sustainability of the North Korean steel industry by looking into the possibility of whether the North Korean steel industry can sustain or grow while maintaining global competitiveness in the future when the market opens to the world. Such analysis is expected to contribute to the joint prosperity of two Koreas in the short term and the reduction of unification costs in long term.
