High-speed railway raises global interests with the growing concerns on the green development and the green energy. However, since most of the infrastructure investment of Korea was focused on the highway projects for last forty years, the investment on the railway has been limited around 40~50% of that of the highway projects. In addition, due to the world economy crisis and unsatisfactory support of existing policy for the private investment project, the private investment is given a small deal of weight on the social overhead capital investment. Meanwhile, despite the world high-speed railway market is growing rapidly and the Korean contractors have won the international construction contracts over 70 billion USD, past records of railway projects are very rare. Therefore, it is required to develop strategies for encouraging private investment in the domestic market to achieve efficient high-speed railway development and for advancing into foreign high-speed railway market. This study carried out data collection and market analysis for both domestic and foreign market respectively. Through a structured questionnaire survey and expert interviews, contractors' perceptions on the high-speed railway market and needs for the government support are collected. Summary of strategies drawn from this study are as follows: 1) carrying out BTL high-speed railway projects and revising related policies; 2) upwarding incentive level for the private pre-investment projects considering the contractors' credit rating; 3) carrying out Honam-Jeju submarine railway project; 4) establishing a efficient consortium model for foreign market; 5) improving the capacity of the Korea Railway Association that support Korean contractors' foreign advancement; and 6) expand the budget for Global Infra-fund.

The beginning of a new railroad history is progressing every year. Seoul's Sillim Line is a new transportation system based on communication technology. Sillim Line is the nation's first wireless communication-based unmanned train control system based on KTCS-M, the national standard. The use of wireless communication technology in the rail transportation system suggests the possibility of exporting to the global rail market. This is the result of the government's development and implementation of various support policies for nurturing the domestic railway industry and for export. In this paper, the status of support for localization of railroad industry technology implemented by the state is reviewed, and the process by which railroad parts are replaced by localized parts is analyzed out of dependence on foreign countries. A study was conducted on the development of a technical support platform to solve the technical difficulties of the industry that occurred in this process.

운영중인 철도패키지 관광상품중 관광동굴이 포함된 철도관광상품의 특성을 살펴보았다. 모든 상품이 당일 또는 1박정도의 철도노선 주변에 위치한 자연관광자원과 주로 연계된 상품 특성을 보였다. 철도관광상품의 이용활성화를 위한 방안으로 보다 다양한 시장세분화가 요구되며 적극적인 홍보전략이 필요한 것으로 나타났으며 패키지 상품의 차별화도 고려해야 할 것이다. 또한 철도관광상품에 포함된 지자체의 경우 수요관광객에 대한 질적인 서비스 향상과 지역간 관광협력 네트워크구축이 이루어져야 할 것이다. 철도관광상품을 이용한 경험이 있는 관광객에 대한 만족도와 경험하고자 하는 예비관광객에 대한 수요조사도 아울러 필요하다.

경제 제도의 전환기를 맞이하고 있는 중국은 20세기 마지막 20여 년간 빠른 경제 발전을 이루었으며 중국의 도시는 계획경제체제와 중국식 시장경제체제 하에서 독특한 발전 과정을 겪어왔다. 이러한 발전 과정에서 도시 간 물류의 유동과 상호작용을 가장 뚜렷하게 반영할 수 있는 것은 철도망과 철도 운수라고 할 수 있다. 특히 도시간의 장거리 수송은 철도를 위주로 하고 있으며 철도망의 발달은 중국 도시의 형성과 발전에 중요한 요인으로 간주되고 있다. 그러므로 철도망의 구조와 철도 운송 자료는 중국 도시체계의 공간구조를 이해하는데 적절한 지표라고 볼 수 있다.

To relieve congestion in the current system of intercity transportation, the Korea decided in 1990 to construct a high-speed railroad between Seoul and Busan and it is now in operation. This new mode of transportation significantly cut travel time between major cities and a trip from Seoul to the southeastern port of Busan. Since the KTX opening, average daily passenger numbers on both the Gyeongbu and Honam lines have increased about 1.3 fold over 2003 levels. As of December 2004, the KTX trains are carrying about 81,000 people a day. On KTX routes, the daily number of airline passengers dropped. Express long-distance bus traffic also dropped by 20% to 30%, while that on short-distance routes (100km or less) increased by about 20%. These figures clearly indicate that the Korean transportation network is becoming railroad-centric. However, the number of KTX passengers is fewer than anticipated possibly due to the Korean economic downturn and the operation of the KTX will leave many existing Saemaul and Mugunghwa train sets idle, which will be put into operation for areas, not covered by the KTX. When all the existing major lines have been electrified, more high-speed rail services will be phased in using direct connections to maximize operational efficiency. And also, the dual management by KTX and conventional rail will be regarded as the promotion of the benefit of the public.

국내 철도사업은 1899년 경인선이 개통된 이래 1970년대까지 지역 간 수송수단으로써 여객은 물론 산업물자 수송 등을 통해 국가 경제 발전의 초석이 되었으나, 1970년대 이후 고속도로의 투자와 함께 자동차 대중화 시대를 맞이하면서 철도는 도로교통에 지배적 위치를 내어 주게 되었으며 계속되는 투자부족과 수송시장의 변화에 대처하기 어려운 철도운영체계로 인해 서비스 수준 저하, 수요감소, 수입 감소로 이어지면서 경영적자를 야기하고, 이러한 재정적 어려움은 재투자를 어렵게 하는 등의 구조적 악순환이 반복되고 있다.(중략)

Due to various reasons (normally financial constraints in developing countries), it becomes common to change of the business model from state-run projects to Private Investment Projects (Public Private Partnership) in the global railway businesses. However, due to the nature of railroads compared with other types of infrastructure such as roads and others, railway business require considerable construction cost and O&M cost through the business development, construction, and operation and management stages. Therefore, private investment railway projects, especially in developing countries, can be problematic in terms of the potential for uncertainty when return on investment cannot be guaranteed. In order to strengthen the competitiveness of domestic companies when entering overseas railroad PPP projects, this study proposes PPP-related risks and their countermeasures by reviewing global railroad trends and identifying Korea's weakness in managing international railroad projects.
