Abstract

The Ryomyong Street project is the only construction project for which the construction cost is known, but its scale cannot be estimated because it is marked in North Korean Won. In this paper, the construction cost per m2 of North Korean apartment building construction was calculated based on the construction and assembly amount of the Ryomyong Street project. 160 to 1 was calculated as the ratio of the building construction cost per m2 between South and North Korea based on the Ryomyong Street project in Pyongyang and Seoul Housing & Communities Corporation. This ratio can be used to assume the construction size presented in North Korean won as there is no official exchange rate between the two Koreas.

려명거리 사업은 건설비용이 알려진 유일한 건축사업이지만 북한원으로 표기되어 그 규모를 짐작할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 려명거리의 건설조립액을 기준으로, 북한 아파트 신축공사의 m2당 공사 원가를 산출하고, 이를 서울주택도시공사가 공개한 원가와 비교하여 남한과 북한의 건축공사비 비율을 산출했다. 그 결과는 160대 1이었고 이는 남북 공식 환율이 없는 상황에서 북한원으로 표기된 공사 규모 추정에 이용될 수 있으며, 향후 남북 공동으로 건축사업을 계획할 때, 상대의 화폐단위로 산출된 건축공사 원가를 이해하는 데 일조할 것으로 기대한다.
