Abstract

This study aims to grasp the hierarchy in the influence areas of port by the intensity of freight shipments and to seek the activating methods for the increase of export and import volumes of Pyeongtaek and Dangjin port. Pyeongtaek and Dangjin port whose major import and export freights are natural gas and automobile, were constructed for the increasing trade with People's Republic of China. This port is expanding the influence in the hinterland and foreland of the port, but core influence area of Pyeongtaek and Dangjin port is rich in trade volume within the radius of 70km. To become international as well as national ports, Pyeongtaek and Dangjin is required to execute the active policy to receive many-sideness of sea route and the recognition of freight holders, forwarders and ship companies in many regions.

본 연구는 평택 당진항을 대상으로 화물수송량에 의한 밀집도로 항세권의 계층성을 파악하고, 항만의 수출입량 증대를 위한 활성화방안을 알아보고자 한다. 중국과의 무역증대를 예상하여 건설된 평택 당진항은 자동차, 천연가스를 주축으로 수출입하는 항구로서의 기능이 더욱 강화되어 배후지와 지향지의 항세권은 확대되고 있으나 여전히 반경 70km의 핵심권에서 무역량이 많아 전국적인 항만으로 나아가는 데는 항로의 다변화와 더불어 여러 지역의 화주와 운송업자 및 선사로부터 인정받는 항만의 활성화 정책이 실행되어야 국제적 중심 항으로서의 위상과 기능이 제고될 것이다.
