Abstract

Statistics on the urban mining industry is the essential information to develop the urban mining industry systematically and the prerequisite way to understand its related trends. Status on domestic urban mining industry was thus investigated through the integrated method which uses both the top-down way based on the national statistics utilization and the bottom-up way based on field data gathering. Results indicated that the scale of metal resources produced through domestic urban mine was 19.6 trillion won, which corresponds to approximately 22 percent of metal demand in korea. The number of firms for urban mining was 917, and they are mostly placed in metropolitan area and Gyeongsang province. It was also found that about 58 percent of urban mining firms was in small business level less than 10 employees. Compared to the results in 2009, the number of urban mining companies in 2014 generally increased, and that of rare metal companies grew up significantly. This study is particularly different from the conventional statistics investigation on the point of the actual scale findings of metal resources based on the field data.

도시광산산업 통계는 도시광산산업을 체계적으로 육성하기 위해서 가장 기본적으로 필요한 자료이며 산업현황을 이해하는데 중요한 수단이다. 본 연구에서는 국가통계를 활용하는 Top-down 방식과 개별 기업현황 조사를 하는 Bottom-up 방식을 병행한 통계조사 방법을 통하여 도시광산 재자원화 규모 및 업체 현황을 조사하였다. 그 결과 도시광산 재자원화 규모는 19.6조 원으로 국내 금속수요의 약 22%를 도시광산에서 공급하고 있었다. 또한 도시광산 업체는 917개로 수도권과 경상권에 대다수 분포하고 있었으며, 약 58%의 업체가 10인 이하의 소기업으로 조사되었다. 2009년 도시광산 업체 현황 조사결과와 비교하였을 때, 도시광산 업체수는 전반적으로 증가하였고, 특히 희소금속 관련 기업 수의 증가 폭이 컸다. 본 연구는 기존의 간접적인 도시광산 통계 결과와 달리 실제 도시광산 업체에서 생산되는 금속자원 규모 및 관련 업체에 대한 통계자료를 산정하여 제시했다는 점에서 연구의 차별성 및 의의를 지닌다.
