Abstract

This study aims to analyze the importance of activating factors in the companies operating in the free trade zone of Pyeongtaek Port by using hierarchical analytical decision making method and suggest implications according to the analysis results. As a result of analyzing the importance of the five factors, it was found that most of the companies in the free trade zone of Pyeongtaek Port were aware of the infrastructure factor (0.330), finance and budget (0.223), organization and operation (0.188), manpower (0.119) in order of importance. In detail, the expansion of the route was recognized as the most important improvement. and Manufacturing companies were judged to be a more important factor in improving the entry conditions of manufacturers and strengthening the distribution of value added. In logistics companies, the importance of manpower is higher than manufacturing companies. The implications for the results of the analysis are diversification of route in Pyeongtaek Port, improvement of the infrastructure near the free trade zone, and The need for institutional improvements. Also, in the future, we suggest the necessity of activation research for non - residents.

본 연구는 계층분석적의사결정법을 활용하여 평택항 자유무역지역 입주기업을 대상으로 활성화 요인의 중요도를 분석하였고 분석결과에 따른 시사점을 제시하였다. 상위요인의 중요도를 분석한 결과 평택항 자유무역지역 입주기업들은 인프라 요인(0.330)을 가장 중요하게 인식하고 있었으며, 이외 금융 및 예산(0.223), 조직 및 운영(0.188), 제도(0.140), 인력(0.119) 순으로 중요도가 산정되었다. 보다 세부적으로는 항로의 확장을 가장 중요하게 개선되어야 할 사항으로 인식하고 있었다. 그리고 제조기업들은 물류기업에 비해 제조업체의 진입여건 개선과 부가가치 물류활동에 대한 배점강화를 다소 중요한 요인으로 판단하고 있었다. 하지만 물류기업의 경우 제조기업에 비해 인력에 대한 중요성을 높게 평가하고 있었다. 이러한 분석결과에 대한 시사점으로 평택항의 항로다각화, 자유무역지역 인근 인프라의 개선, 임대료 재검토 등 제도개선의 필요성을 제안하였으며, 향후 비입주기업을 대상으로 한 활성화 연구의 필요성을 제안하였다.
