Abstract

This study was carried out to raise research productivity through the analysis on the research projects and to find trends of mineral resources survey and mineral deposits of the KIGAM for 38 years since the fiscal year of 1976 to 2013. The KIGAM in the projects for mineral resources survey and mineral deposits expended 67.41 billion won for last 38 years, which is 107.07 billion won calculated using the present value in 2013 at discount rate of 5%. R&D expenditure in mineral resources survey and mineral deposits of KIGAM increased approximately 59.4 times from 108 million won in 1976 to 6,420 million won in 2013, and about 9.8 times from 657 million won in 1976, as calculated using the present value in 2013. The percentage of research projects in mineral resources survey by research sub-areas was as follows: survey, 32%(90 projects); origin of ore deposits and basic research, 19%(54 projects); exploration for ore deposits, 17%(48 projects); database and information, 13%(37 projects); mineralogy and ore analysis, 9%(25 projects); and etc., 10%(27 projects). Based on analysis of research trends over the last 38 years, to raise research productivity, the existing survey research techniques with repeated use and related technology development should be enhanced.

이 연구는 1976년부터 2013년까지 총 38년간 광물자원조사 및 광상분야의 연구추이분석과 연구생산성 제고를 위해 수행되었다. 광물자원조사 및 광상분야는 지난 38년간 281과제, 674.1억원('13 현재가 환산, 1,070.7억원)이 집행되었다. 연구비는 1976년 1.08억원에서 2013년 64.2억원으로 59.4배 증가하였고, 2013년 현재가치로 환산하여 1976년 6.57억원에서 64.2억원으로 9.8배가 증가하였다. 세부분야별로는 조사 90과제(32%), 성인 기초연구 54과제(19%), 탐사 48과제(17%), DB정보화 37과제(13%), 광물광상 25과제(9%), 기타 27과제(10%)이었다. 38년간의 광물자원조사 및 광상분야 연구추이분석을 기반할 때, 연구생산성 제고를 위해서는 조사기술의 반복적 활용과 더불어 조사관련 기술개발이 강화되어야 할 것이다.
