This research attempts to explore the competitive advantage of the Busan New Port based on the comparative analysis against the major ports. The competitive environment of the global shipping business poses a variety of challenges for the port authorities. Pursuing the hub position in the Northeast Asia, Busan new port needs an in-depth competitive analysis against the major ports in Singapore and China. This research proposes the strategies to exploit the locational advantage of the port while upgrading the operational efficiency. The recent development of the information technology suggests a viable solution for the Busan port.

Countries in the world make a strategic effort to develop their own ports into hub ports and lure transshipment cargoes. Likewise, the Busan Port tries to become a container hub port in Northeast Asia, but there is lately a gradual decline in the number of transshipment cargoes. The purpose of this study was to examine the influential factors of port transshipment traffic in an effort to identify the determinants of transshipments in the Busan Port. In existing studies, harbor infrastructure, maritime transshipment cost, port cost and port service were primarily presented as the determinants of transshipment traffic after surveys were conducted by experts. In this study, the transshipment traffic in the Busan Port was selected as a dependent variable, and the container traffic and transshipment traffic of ports in adjacent countries and each country's amount of trade and economic growth rate were selected as explanatory variables to analyze what factors determined the transshipment traffic in the port.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a new strategy from a different angle to become a preferred transshipment hub for sustainable growth. This study would derive new competitive factors through the case study on a global carrier 'A' who shows constant growth in transshipment via Busan and the questionnaire survey was conducted. As to analysis results by matrix, Busan Port needs to strengthen its competitiveness against North China ports due to less local import/export cargo volume and less government support while North China ports continue to be developed with incremental direct calling and government's flexible cabotage rule.

This study suggests a strategic direction for developing the Port of Busan based on evaluating and prioritizing the relative importance of competitiveness factors for ports using SWOT analysis and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method. The Port of Busan is the world's sixth largest container port and the largest port in South Korea. The Port of Busan constitutes a key industrial infrastructure for an exporting country. Despite the economic and industrial importance of the Port of Busan, little research has examined its strategic development. This study derives a SWOT matrix for evaluating the competitiveness of factors from previous studies and expert reviews, and it constructs a hierarchical analysis structure model based on the SWOT matrix. To deduce a strategic direction for developing the Port of Busan, a questionnaire based on SWOT·AHP was distributed to industrial and academic associations to prioritize competitive factors. This study presents four strategic tactics based on strengths (S), weaknesses (W), opportunities (O), and threats (T) (S/O, S/T, W/O, and W/T) as strategic directions for developing the Port of Busan. This study will contribute objectively to the overall effort by the government to improve the operation of the Port of Busan and establish development strategies.

The newly adopted Korea Geodetic Datum (a.k.a. KGD2002) calls for massive reengineering work on geospatial dataset. The main focus of our study is placed on the strategy and system implementations of the required data reengineering with a keen attention to integrated approaches to interoperability, standardization, and database utilization. Our reengineering strategy includes file-to-file, file-to-DB, DB-to-file, and DB-to-DB conversion for the coordinate transformation of KGD2002. In addition to the map formats of existing standards such as DXF and Shapefile, the newly recommended standards such as GML and SVG are also accommodated in our reengineering environment. These four types of standard format may be imported into and exported from spatial database via KGD2002 transformation component. The DB-to-DB conversion, in particular, includes not only intra-database conversion but also inter-database conversion between SDE/Oracle and Oracle Spatial. All these implementations were carried out in multiple computing environments: desktop and the Web. The feasibility test of our system shows that the coordinate differences between Bessel and GRS80 ellipsoid agree with the criteria presented in the existing researches.

Fishing villages have rich potential on account of serving as a base of fishing activities with various maritime ecosystem, culture and maritime resources as well. The object of the study is ports located in Gijang, Busan and it presents the overall development direction in ports within this area. Through systematic and well-planned developing small-sized ports, this research analyzes regional economic implications by improving settlement conditions for fishing villagers scattered around this area taking the ports' natural traits into consideration. The research correlates regional input output analysis by fishing port arrangement project with connection between inter-industries and inter-regions according to the model of input-output analysis and attempts to systematically analyze regional economic structure with the economic implication divided into production, employment and income, influenced upon by the change of political exogenous variable.

항로표지는 해상교통의 안전을 도모하고 선박운항 능률 향상을 위하여 설치된 해양교통안전시설 중 하나이다. 그러나 선박 또는 기상악화 등의 이유로 발생하는 항로표지의 사고로 인하여 제 기능을 상실 하였을 경우, 선박운항자나 이용자가 느끼는 선박통항 위험도가 증가할 가능성이 높다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 우리나라 최대 항만인 부산항을 중심으로 부산항 이용자를 대상으로 항로표지 및 표지사고에 대한 인식조사를 실시하여, 효율적인 항로표지관리방안을 제시하고자 한다.

IMF한파에 모두 몸살을 앓고 있지만, 출판계는 한국 경제위기를 냉정하게 진단하고 처방을 제시하는 책들로 부산하다. 제 살을 도려내는 자기희생과 공동체의식, 그리고 뼈아픈 자기반성이 없는 한 한국의 미래는 없다고 충고한다.
