The purpose of this research is to verify the strategic fitness and relevance of the distribution park for a hub port in Northeast Asia and to find a method to be a hub-port with a competitive edge. The strategic factor of distribution park development are policy, methodology and promotion method So these factors are analysed by structural equation model. The essential results of the research show that distribution park should be actually developed to produce value-added and to be port cluster.

The ongoing development of Distriparks, the increase in workers inside the warehouses, and the growth in traffic volume have shifted the attention of the many D.C. operators on how to utilize their warehouse spaces more profitably and economically. A total of 550 cars and trucks are illegally parked at the distribution centers everyday. To meet these challenges, port authorities are looking closely at how they can establish effective countermeasures to solve this problem and satisfy customers of the Distripark. In order to answer these questions, this article sought to identity and analyze the current status of the illegal parking issues and main causes of that phenomena. In addition to summarizing an actual outcomes of the illegal parking problems, the research also examines the legal and practical countermeasures of this issues. Finally this research tries to find future solutions for ports in the Distripark development process, with particular reference to the legal and managerial aspects.

The ports have been confronted with rapid environmental changes. This means that it is imperative to enhance the competitiveness by resolving the chronic and difficult problems regarding Busan New Port. This paper, hence, suggests how to activate the hinterland of the New Port. The New Port was designed to become a leading logistics port in Northeast Asia and its economic ripple effect was expected to be much greater with the construction of New Port Hinterland. The government should also seek to supply the sufficient land as well as establish port clusters with various port-related industries, which enables the New Port to survive the forthcoming harsh environmental changes and meet the diverse demands. Those measures also enable the New Port to overcome the deterioration of the competitiveness and enjoy the economies of scale. The cluster-based hinterland policy framework is sure to be very efficient but should be complemented with infrastructure policies for the better policy-mix.

The Korean Government is planning to build commercial districts and amenities for the major port such as Busan, Gwangyang, and Incheon in order to activate the hinterland in each port. The foreign ports in Germany, Japan and China is competing with Korean ports are developing the commercial districts and amenities of seaport hinterland in order to support urban functions. The purpose of this study is to predict the demand for the facility of commercial districts and amenities planned in the Gwangyang seaport hinterland, then to propose its utilization plans. By the demand forecasting, the districts and amenities need to be full of office, accommodation and commercial facilities, etc. In addition, the districts need to be developed gradually for the target of 2035, considering the demand growth. Leasing out the property to secular tenants, it needs to charge rent for profits of port authority. Therefore, it is required to revise the National Ports Act for the private agency to take part in building the facilities of the commercial districts and amenities.

As a consequence of the changed role and functions in port operations, the role of port hinterland has transformed to multi-functional logistic centre linking more efficiently elements of the supply chain. This paper analysed distribution centre selection factors in Busan new port hinterland, aiming to diagnose and evaluate the operational situations of port hinterland as multi-functional logistics centre. Based on a data collected from all 122 samples located in Busan new port hinterland, determinants for location competitiveness identified were: political support, market potentiality, infrastructure utilization, market niche, and connectivity. Comparing the difference between an importance and performance, it is revealed that the target port hinterland requires urgent improvement in political supports such as incentive programmes offered by host country, free trade system and related law, financial assistance in constructing distribution centers, and simplicity, ease and efficiency of administrative procedures. The results provide useful insights for establishing future improvement strategies and a strategic agenda to successfully respond to the demands of the companies located in port hinterlands and/or new customers those who want to move in.

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.

The purpose of this paper is to estimate economic benefits for the investment of port hinterland. This research has conducted the empirical analysis, by calculating the investment of port hinterland. The key factor for the economic benefits for the hinterland is the utilizing throughputs. This demand is influenced by the throughput in the port. However the data is different between the different organizations. The positive opinions are prevailed about constructing of port hinterland by a optimistic view about throughput. However this paper analyzes the economic benefits by a pessimistic point of view. The main results of this paper are as follows: First, the port hinterland of Busan New Port does not have economic benefit for investment and the hinterland will face the overcapacity problem. We recommend that the plan for investment has to be considered the modification. Second, data of forecasted throughputs is an important factor for evaluation of hinterland's investment. The research for reliable forecasting of throughput has to be preceded for the pertinent evaluation of hinterland's investment.

The Busan New Port and its hinterland have not operated smoothly due to the complicated laws and various related organizations. Thus, many projects involving the port are not matched with its purpose of establishment. In particular, a large-scale apartment complex, which was constructed without a negotiation among the related organizations, is disturbing the port's logistics function. Also, the construction and management of every traffic facilities are conducted by various organizations due to the functions for the facilities are dispersed among them, which has given rise to chaos and responsibility-shifting. As a result, worries about the friction among the organizations and the loss of function of the port hinterland exist. This paper analyzes the problems of inter-governmental functional distributions in the construction and management of the port hinterland of the Busan New Port based on the principles (theories) of functional distribution. In addition, this paper proposes improvements for the functional distribution. The results of the analysis indicated that the functions for housing and traffic facilities were duplicated and dispersed among organizations, resulting in an unclear division of responsibilities. Finally, the paper proposed solutions for the problems: the institutionalization of an administrative conference system among related organizations, using an integrated administration for a wide area (contracting-out, association among local governments), and establishing a special-purpose local government (association among local governments, BPA).
