본 연구는 전남 여천시에 입지한 여천산단을 사레로 공업단지의 입지가 지역변화에 미친 영향을 고찰하였다. 여천산단은 1970년대 초반 국가주도의 공업개발계획의 일환으로 건설되어 우리나라의 대표적인 석유화학공업단지로 성장하였다. 여천산단의 입지는 지역의 인구성장과 도시발전 그리고 지역의 산업구조와 고용구조 변화에 커다란 영향을 미쳤다. 여천산단의 입지로 인하여 여천지역의 경제구조는 농수산업 중심에서 제조업 중심으로 개편되었고, 지역의 제조업 구성에서 석유화학 관련제조업이 매우 높은 비중을 차지하였다. 또한 여천산단의 입지가 지역내 고용 및 산업구조에 미친 영향을 분석하기 위해 변이할당분석과 지역성장률 시차분석을 실시한 결과, 제조업과 건설업이 1987년 이후 지역의 고용성장에 커다란 파급효과를 제공한 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 여천산단의 입지는 여천시뿐만 아니라 인접한 여수시와 여천군의 경제구조변화에도 영향을 미친 것으로 밝혀졌다.

This study was conducted to evaluate health status and to propose health protection measures of irregular plant construction workers in Yoesu National Industrial Complex (YNIC). The status of safety and health management was examined in five areas including safety and health education, work environment monitoring, health examination, health management record, and personal protective equipment (PPE) for plant construction workers. The safety training rate for plant construction workers was reached high at 91%, The training was mostly consisted of safety accident related things, but training on hazardous materials was found to be insufficient. Workplace monitoring results showed that the compliance rate for work environment for irregular construction workers was 54% and workplace monitoring during turnaround (TA) period with high risk of exposure to hazardous agents has not been implemented. While 61.4% of irregular workers received the general health examination but only 36.8% received the special health examination. The special health examination was found to be conducted only upon welders from 2-3 years ago. The issue of health management record upon irregular construction workers was not being implemented. In case of PPE, basic safety protective equipments such as safety shoes, safety belt, safety helmet were being supplied well while the supply rate of respirator for organic vapor was relatively low at 40%. Based on this study, two suggestions to maximize the utilization of the current safety and health program were made while boosting its effectiveness in protecting workers' health. First, the role of owners (petrochemical plant) related to safety and health should be strengthened. Second, in consideration of the characteristics of construction workers who usually engage in short term employment and frequent movement, community based health management organization is suggested that can overcome such structural problem and carry out the implementation of health examination and sustained health management.
