This study aims to evaluate the industrial cluster policy implemented in Korea during the last decade or so, examine whether it can still be a valid policy measure in the creative economy regime, and propose policy directions for the future. It is evaluated that the cluster policy has contributed to increasing productivity by improving networks between companies, universities and research centers and thus strengthening innovation infrastructure. The policy, however, by its characteristics of government-domination, failed to develop open-ended and flexible spontaneous clusters. Industrial clusters have the capability to contribute to the virtuous circle of creative economy by enhancing creativity and innovativeness, and subsequently by increasing value-added. In order to maximize these positive effects, a few suggestions are made, including being faithful to the very nature of clusters, e.g. geographical proximity and connectedness, intending clusters with creativity well maintained, orienting toward multi-scalar clusters with a mixture of local and global perspectives, and matching regional and industrial policies with regards to clusters.

Despite continuous efforts of the government, youth joblessness in Korea has remained as a top policy priority. At this end, the study focuses on the causes of youth labor market problems and tries to seek for policy directions. While the previous research attempted to explain youth joblessness based on the labor demand and supply, this study follows a job search model which emphasizes a job matching process. A theoretical model and empirical results predict that a mean duration of unemployment could decrease if an implicit income of unemployment declines or a rate of job offer rises. From policy point of view, it is advisable to raise incentives for labor demand and to strengthen employment services because a policy to lower an implicit income of unemployment may not secure policy target efficiency.

In order to recommend future national policy directions on energy supply and consumption and to suggest energy technological priorities to be developed, comprehensive energy models have been developed through this study in a sense of strategic and systematic approach. The “energy input-output model” has been formulated to analyze the mutual impacts between energy consumption patterns and industrial structures and to calculate energy intensities of industrial sectors. The long-term energy demands to the year 2000 were forecasted by using multi-regressional method and the optimal energy flow balances for five-year interval have been studied by using the “energy linear programming model” being took full account of interfuel substitutability and technology.

As the deregulation and the introduction of competition, the methodology of counting access charge for interconnection among carriers is becoming more important. The network costing is the basis for deciding the access charge, but that can be varied by the models and criteria used in the network costing. This study attempts to analyze the network costing methodologies and criteria and then will suggest a few policy directions for reasonable network costing.

To investigate the adequacy of maglev train system to future urban transport environments, first we derived minimum necessity requirements of the new-transit system by analyzing the issues in the urban transit management and new needs of transportation customers. Then the conformity of Maglev train to the requirements was examined. With respect to this adequacy analysis, policy directions and agenda of the making practical use of urban transit Maglev system' is proposed.

This study was designed to know the change of housing values from 1960s to the present, for finding the directions of housing design and housing policy. The content analysis method was used for this study. Data were collected through advertisement about apartment in newspaper, and the sample consisted of 781 advertisements. Frequency, percentage and x2-test were used. The results showed that housing values were changed according to the times. Especially, the economic value, the convenience value, the family centrism value, the location value, and the educational environment value were changed.

The total estimated socioeconomic logistics cost in transportation sector, including traffic congestion, household travel expenses, national macroeconomic logistics and traffic accident related cost, amount to approximately 240 trillion won a year in 2009. The amount is in increasing trend every year due to the inefficient infrastructure system in urban city roads and in intercity highways. The Government adopts the 4th National Spatial Planning (Revised) which is in progress in order to build a new physical environment ensuring people's welfare by providing the efficient and sustainable transportation networking system.
