In general, various schemes such as free trade zone are being implemented with the purpose of foreign investment attraction, trade promotion through advanced technology, international logistics facilitation, and balanced regional development. The Korean government has been designating and operating 13 free trade zones including 8 free economic zones and 86 foreign-invested areas. But these policies have not been evaluated to be sufficient to the foreign investment and the international competitiveness compared to other countries. This study investigated the role and operational status of the free trade areas to try to diagnose the problem and the need, and so derived some improvement plans for them by the comparative analysis to other domestic similar institutions, for example Free Economic Zone, Foreign Investment Zone and Comprehensive Bonded Zone. Moreover, it respectively presented the drawbacks and improvements of those zones in Korea at the economical, operational and institutional aspects.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the problem from the introduction of the free economic zone of the system development since 2002 to provide an alternative and started. Significance of Free Economic Zone development system and the type, content and assessment through the previous studies were analyzed. To do this, first Significance of Free Economic Zone development system and the type, content and assessment through the previous studies were analyzed. Also look for a free economic zone development approach has been investigated in terms of the meaning of Real Estate. In addition, this study is the subject of the Incheon Free Economic Zone cheongna area information, develop business plans and analysis of the current situation. Various alternatives for solving problems and based on the results of the analysis presented. Following three Free Economic Zone development system alternatives for problem solving. First, some collapsed or extended development period, such as six free economic zones of the plan to re action is needed. Second, seeking development capital allocation and coordination of national level measures are needed. Last, council to organize the national level of public and private, and prevent the recurrence of similar problems, the need to promote a speedy resolution to the problem that occurred. There are the following three alternatives to solve global problems cheongna area. First, earth aversion facilities and pollutants cheongna area and isolation measures should be made. Second, dispute the adjustment and subunyangja bunyangja prepared to counter the confusion should be avoided. Last, House for sale related to the information disclosure system in place to prevent a similar problem occurs.

The primary objective of this study is to analyze the economic impact of Free Economic Zone(FEZ) development project while at the same time to study the appropriateness of the existing development strategies as well as industries being induced by using Input-Output analysis. Specifically the tables of IRIO(Inter-Regional Input-Output) analysis of 2003, 2005 were used to reflect regional distinctiveness regarding the whole Free Economic Zones and as being a supplementary the National Input-Output analysis of 1998, 2008 were referred. Based on the result of analysis, the economic impact of the Free Economic Zone development project of all 6 regions found out to be lower than publicly announced data at the time it was designated. In addition, no significance could be noticed in the comparison of inducement coefficient between national Input-Output table and IRIO table. Finally, based on the result of analysis of forward-backward linkage effect and Location Quotients(LQ) analysis of 6 FEZ regions, GFEZ in the 1st phase IFEZ, GFEZ and YESFEZ in the 2nd FEZ reflected well the development strategies as well as regional specialized industries.

2003년 처음 지정된 한국의 경제자유구역은 2013년 동해안권과 충북이 추가 지정되면서 8개 지역으로 확대되었다. 그러나 최근에는 전국 8개 구역 가운데 동해안권과 충북을 제외한 모든 지역에서 지정 규모가 축소되는 조정 과정을 겪고 있다. 이렇듯 당초의 구상이 퇴색하는 경향이 나타나고 있기도 하지만, 지자체에서 지역경제 활성화 모델로 경제자유구역에 거는 기대가 큰 것도 사실이다. 개발 완료가 짧게는 5년, 길게는 9년 가량 남은 현시점에서 경제자유구역의 성공을 위해서 어떤 요인이 성과 요인으로 중요한지 우선순위를 탐색해 보는 것이 본 논문의 목적이다. 이 논문에서는 한국 경제자유구역의 성과요인을 9가지 항목으로 도출하여, 인천 등 6개 경제자유구역청 직원들을 대상으로 AHP설문을 실시하였다. 분석결과 6개 지역 모두 인프라ㆍ배후시장 등 입지요인을 가장 중요한 요인으로 꼽았다. 전체 평균 2순위는 경제자유구역별 차별화된 전략ㆍ모델 요인이었으며, 3순위는 중앙정부의 조세 인센티브 및 기타 지원 요인이었으나, 지역별로 다소간의 편차를 보였다.

The Free Economic Zone(FEZ) was designated in Aug 2003 by government to attempt to achieve vitalization of foreign direct investment(FDI). This article aims to analyze the factors influencing performance of the Free Economic Zones(FEZs) in Korea. And the study also aims to analyze priorities among 3 primary factors and 9 secondary factors by AHP method. According to the results of AHP analysis, The first priority among factors is to improve conditions of location and infrastructure. Differentiated strategy and model among FEZs is secondly important factor. And the third priority factor is to support the incentive about taxation and subsidies.

본 논문은 향후 35년 동안 중국을 이끌 OBOR(一帶一路), 새만금 개발사업, 한중FTA, WTO 그리고 SPS협정 등 최근 한중관계에 있어 매우 중요하게 언급되는 핵심 사업에 대해서 국제 규범적으로 분석하였다. 중국은 AIIB 설립과 함께 일대일로를 통해 중국의 거대한 인프라 투자 및 산업단지 조성으로 아시아를 비롯한 세계경제에 큰 영향을 끼칠 것이며, 이미 이러한 중국과 FTA를 체결한 대한민국은 새만금 지역에 한중경협단지 조성에 박차를 가하고 있다. 이러한 시의적인 필요성과 맞물려 본 연구의 주제는 일대일로의 활용방안 새만금 규제특례지 역에 효과적으로 활용하기 위하여 양국의 규제특례지역-경제자유구역과 경제특구-에 대한 특성을 비교분석과 함께 최근 분쟁사례에 대한 연구를 통해 향후 발생할 수 있는 분쟁을 어떻 게 해결할 수 있는 지에 대한 국제규범적인 접근을 시도해 보았다. 특별히, WTO와 한중FTA 의 규정들을 분석하며 해결책과 향후연구의 방향과 필요성을 제시했다.

This specific study addresses a comparative analysis on national and international designated zones of special cases for regulation which are “Free Economic Zones” in Korea and “Special Economic Zones” in China. Especially how to use One Belt One Road(一帶一路), which will lead China for the next 35 years, effectively on the free economic zones of special cases for regulation in Saemangeum is discussed. My research particularly takes an international normative approach about how to settle the disputes that may happen in the future through studying the latest cases of dispute according to Korea-China Free Trade Agreement and WTO Dispute Settlement system in Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes.

This is a study of promoting China free trade under China-US economic trade friction. China and the United States are the two largest economies in the world, and the China-US economic and trade friction has had a profound impact on world economy and trade patterns. The worsening of this economic and trade friction has caused a new round of changes in the global economy and trade. With such a backdrop, China and the United States will certainly consolidate and expand other trading partners to hedge their own losses. Scholars have confirmed that this economic and trade friction has caused a decrease in the total volume of trade between China and the United States, and even the world at large, but the allied countries that have close trade relationships with China and the United States have gradually expanded the shares of their external trades. Simultaneously, against the backdrop of this China-US economic and trade friction, China has started adjusting the share of its international trading partners, gradually decreased its dependence on developed economies such as European countries and America, and boosted its trade diversification, thereby dispersing trading risk. Additionally, China is actively seeking industrial restructuring, has put forward the concept of ''new infrastructure'', and has increased governmental support for chips, new energy, and the digital economy, while it is determined to vigorously develop high-end manufacturing, intelligent manufacturing, biomedicine, and aerospace industries. On the other hand, South Korea has mature and advanced industrial systems and advanced technical research and development mechanisms. Therefore, both China and South Korea have their own relative advantages in trading. Although a China-South Korea free trade agreement (FTA) has been reached, the utilization rate of the FTA remains to be raised. Moreover, there are relatively few trades in the high-end industry between China and South Korea, and China-US economic and trade friction is both a challenge and an opportunity for China and South Korea, which are the most important trading partners for each other. In the present study, the rich practical experiences and achievements obtained based on FTA strategies in China and South Korea were reviewed, the problems in the FTA strategies in the two countries were proposed, and the probability that China-South Korea free trade can be deepened according to these problems was analyzed. This study aims to provide new ideas for the industrial adjustment and establishment of innovative systems that deepen China-South Korea free trade. Regional strategic cooperation promotes regional economic development. Thus, China and South Korea start from free trade, learn from the world's advanced FTAs, and continue to innovate, thereby jointly injecting a new impetus into the world economy.

현재, 중국경제의 발전은 일대일로와 자유무역지역을 떠나서 논의하기 어려운 상황인데 따라서 이들은 중국 관련 국제경제법적 양대 이슈로 자리매김 하고 있다. 2018년 12월 4일 현재, 중국은 12개의 자유무역지역을 설립하였다. 이들 자유무역지역은 네번에 나뉘어 설립이승인되었는데 상해자유무역지역은 2013년 설립되고, 천진, 광동, 복건자유무역지역은 2015년 설립되고 절강, 호북, 요녕, 하남, 사천, 중경, 섬서자유무역지역은 2017년 설립되었으며 해남자유무역지역은 2 018년 설립되었다. 본 연구에서는 중국 자유무역지역의 기능, 입법, 관리기관, 구체조치 등 측면에서 기존의 관련 법령을 중심으로 이들자유무역지역에 적용되는 새로운 법률제도를 살펴본 후 그 효과와 문제점 및 중국정부에서 자유무역지역의 다음 단계로 추진하고자 하는자유항의 발전전망에 대해 논의하였다.

Currently, the development of China's economy is difficult to discuss, leaving One Belt One Road and Free Trade Zones, thus positioning them as two major issues related to China's international economic law. As of December 4, 2018, China established 12 free trade zones. These Free Trade Zones were established four times, and the Shanghai Free Trade Zone was established in 2013, Tianjin, Guangdong and Fujian Free Trade Zone were established in 2015, Zhejiang, Hubei, Henan, Sichuan, Chongqing, Shanxi Free Trade Zone were established in 2017 and Hainan Free Trade Zone was established in 2018. In this article, the author discussed the effects and problems of new legal systems applied to these free trade zones, focusing on existing relevant statutes, such as the function, legislation, management agencies, and specific measures, and discussed the development of Free Trade Port in the Chinese government.

외국인 투자 및 창업 관련의 지원제도는 한국에 소재하는 기업의 경영활동에 외국인의 투자와 창업을 활성화하여 기술이전, 설비확충, M&A 등을 통한 기업의 대내외 경쟁력을 높이고, 고용창출과 생산증대 등으로 국가경제의 양적․질적 발전을 적극 도모하는데 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 먼저 기존 연구를 바탕으로 한국 경제자유구역의 외국인 투자기업의 실태를 분석한 후 각각의 주요 외국인투자기업의 창업지원제도에 대한 제반 현황을 분석하여 시사점을 제시하고자 한다. 연구 결과, 주요 전략적 시사점을 다음과 같이 요약할 수 있었다. ① 전 세계 경제특구는 현재 119개국 2,301개 규모로 이 중 경제자유구역은 153개 수준이며, 지속적인 증가추세에 있는바 싱가포르, 중국, 스페인 등과 같은 One-Stop Service와 선진 FEZ 대비 한국형 성공전략 분석이 요구된다. ② 경쟁국 대비 투자자가 선호하는 비교우위의 투자환경을 조성함과 동시에 창업지원제도에 대한 경쟁우위를 위한 파격적인 규제완화를 적극 확대하여야 한다. ③ 경쟁국 대비 각 FEZ가 제공하는 현금지원·조세지원·입지지원제도 등 외국인투자기업 창업지원제도의 탄력적인 확대운영전략이 요구된다. ④ 경쟁국 대비 한국 경제자유구역의 입지 경쟁력(Geographic Location)과 정책 운영 경쟁력(Governance), 요소경쟁력(Socio Economic Factors)이 더욱 강화되어야 할 것이다. ⑤ 중장기적인 관점에서 ‘선택과 집중’이라는 경제자유구역의 외자유치 전략을 통하여 녹색성장과 신성장동력, 4차 산업혁명과 6차 산업 등 국가산업발전에 기여하는 범정부적인 외국인투자기업의 창업지원제도를 적극 확대하여야할 것이다.

Throughout this study, the background of Korea's Free Economy Zone promotion, present condition in both internal and external investment attraction, and main strategic implications derived via the Start-Up by foreigners support system of Free Economic Zone in South Korea can be summarized as following. As future projects, there are, firstly, needs for strategic incentive activities in liaison with future national industrial development strategy as there are lack of systemized approach following the selection of target businesses according to attracting possibilities. Second, a flexible investment incentive is required because the spasticity of the incentive made elastic supports through negotiation more difficult. Moreover, taxation and geographic location are provided if the amount of investment is higher than a certain level which induces no room for negotiation and it is pointed out that considerations in industrial and economic level of participation are difficult. Third, due to the fact that attracting activities such as IR are currently promoted sporadically by the needs of individual institutions like government department, local government, Free Economic Zone authority, IK, and so forth, the necessity of making investment attraction strategy across the country and adjustment consolidation comes to the fore.

The Korean government, with a view of leveraging opportunities and threats stemming from the growth of Asian economic block along with a commitment to rebuilding economic prosperity, has designated six areas as Free Economic Zones(FEZs). However, the position of Korea as a premier logistics hub is currently being challenged. This is because many countries are now possessing excellent infrastructure and are also are planning to become logistics hubs. Therefore, the objective of this study is to provide successful alternatives related in Logistics base and other functional linkage for activation strategies of Korea Free Economic Zone. To examine key factors that would set up FEZs of logistics base in Korea to become a successful logistics and business hub, field survey was conducted. The analysis result revealed that attracting more joint logistics center, securing logistics facilities for cargo, logistics business model, securing sufficient local cargo volume, logistics information integration are very influential factors on successful KFEZs.

동북아 비즈니스 중심 국가를 실현하기 위하여 지정된 경제자유구역은 외자유치 실적 이 기대 수준 이하로 나타나면서 다양한 문제점이 드러나고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 송도 경제자유구역을 중심으로 법・제도적인 측면에서 개선방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 법・ 제도적인 측면에서 주요 문제점은 크게 조세 및 법인세 감면, 인센티브제도의 외국인투 자기업에 대한 제한적 혜택, 우리나라 경제자유구역의 과다 지정, 사업 추진체계의 중앙 정부와 지방정부의 이원화에 따른 업무 효율성 결여 등이다. 이에 대한 개선방안으로 본 연구는 인센티브 부여 등 경제자유구역청의 재량권 확대, 국내기업에 대한 수도권 규제완화 방안, 국내 경제자유구역별 핵심 산업 집중 육성방안, 행정절차 간소화 및 원스톱서비스 구현방안을 제시하였다. 경제자유구역 사업의 궁극적 인 목적이 외자유치, 국가경쟁력 강화, 지역경제 활성화라면 이러한 취지에 부합하기 위 해 지속적인 쇄신정책을 수반하여, 세계적으로 경쟁력 있는 경제자유구역으로 도약할 수 있는 계기로 삼아야 한다.

As attraction of foreign capital figure has fallen short of expectation, a number of problems are being issued in Free Economic Zone(FEZ), which is designated to fulfill Northeast Asia as a central business country. The purpose of this study is to propose an improvement plan on both institutional and legal aspect especially regarding Songdo FEZ. The major issues considered are tax and corporate tax exemption, limited benefit of incentive system on foreign invested company, excessive designation of nation FEZ, lack of business efficiency according to the dualized system of central government and local government, etc. This study suggests incentive granting such as expanding the discretionary power of FEZ Authority, alleviation of regulations on capital areas on domestic company, intensive promotion of core industry, simplification of administrative procedures and embodiment of one-stop service. As the ultimate purpose of FEZ is to attract foreign capital, enhance national competitiveness, revive regional economy, there is a need to innovate the policy consistently and eventually this could help FEZ to be globally competitive.

본 논문에서는 국제적으로 경쟁 가능한 공항·항만이 위치한 일정 지역을 대상으로 물류관련 인프라의 확충과 외국인 경영·생활 여건의 개선을 통해, 다국적 기업의 물류 센터와 지역 본부를 유치함으로써, 한국을 동북아 물류 중심지 및 세계 유수 기업 및 금융의 동북아 비즈니스 중심지로 만들겠다는 원대한 목표를 갖고 출발한 경제자유구역 사업의 추진 과정 및 그동안의 경과를 살펴보고 사업의 성과를 평가하였다. 한국 경제 발전의 길을 서비스산업 육성에서 찾았던 한국의 전·현직 경제 관료들이 이를 위한 정책 도구로 개방화의 가속화 및 외국인 투자의 유입을 선택한 다음, 이러한 목표를 달성하기 위한 우회로로 선택했던 것이 경제자유구역 사업이었다. 그렇지만 경제자유구역 사업이 이와 같은 목표를 달성하는 수단으로서 적절히 기능할 수 있는 현실성 있는 내용물로 채워져 있었던 것은 아니었으며, 더욱이 한국 경제의 역사적 발전 과정에 대한 충분한 반성 없이 설정된 추진 목표와 비현실적인 정책 수단들은 경제자유구역 사업 자체의 성공에 대한 큰 제약 요인으로 작용하고 있다.

In this paper, we reviewed the history of FEZ(Free Economic Zone) project, which aimed to make Korea a Logistic and a Business Hub in Northeast Asia by upgrading infrastructure, providing better business and living environment, and attracting multinational logistic centers and regional headquarters. Korean economic bureaucrats, who thought that service industry could become another source of Korean economic growth and the means of developing service industry should be openness and attracting foreign capital, regarded FEZ as an indirect means to this end. However the contents of the FEZ project were not only unrealistic but also malfunctioning as means to this end. Moreover the concept of the FEZ without considering the historical experience of Korean economy and unrealistic means of policy would make an obstacle to the very success of the FEZ project.

경제자유구역은 외국인 투자 유치, 국가 경쟁력 강화, 지역 간 균형 발전에 중요한 역할을 한다. 하지만 경제자유구역 지정 이후에 외투 기업 유치 미흡, 투자 유치 어려움 등 다양한 문제가발생하고 있다. 이러한 문제 발생을 최소한으로 하기 위해서는 사전적으로 경제성 분석이 이루어져야 한다. 하지만 대규모 개발이라고 할 수 있는 경제자유구역 개발에 대한 경제성 분석이 제대로 이루어지지 않거나 일관된 분석 방법이 거의 없는 상황이다. 또한 대규모 개발에 대한 경제성 분석을 충실하게 진행하지 않음으로써, 비용이나 편익이 과대/과소 추정되어 정책 결정에 오류가 발생하는 사례도 다수 발생하고 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구는 경제자유구역 지정으로 인한 비용과 편익에 대한 분석 방법을 제시하고, 경제자유구역 지정을 추진하고 있는 지역 사례를 대상으로 경제성을 추정하였다. 본 연구에서 경제자유구역 조성에 투입되는 비용은 공사비, 상부 건축물 건축비, 유지관리비로 구분하였으며, 사업의 편익은 산업 시설 용지, 상업 시설 용지, 주거시설 용지에서 발생하는 편익으로 추정하였다. 본 연구는 경제자유구역 관련 선행 연구들이 경제자유구역 제도 자체, 관련 법률, 파급 효과, 비교 분석을 진행한 것과 달리 비용 편익 분석 방법을 제시하고 비용 편익 추정을 시도하였다는 점에서 차별성을 가진다. 또한 경제자유구역과같은 대규모 지역 개발의 비용 편익 분석이 거의 진행되지 않은 상황에서 중요한 의미를 가진다. 본 연구의 학문적 의의는 경제자유구역을 비용 편익 분석 방법을 통해 실증 분석하여 추후 경제자유구역 지정의 정책적 성과를 입증하는 데 일조할 수 있을 것이라는 점이다. 본 연구의 실무적의의는 향후 지역 개발 연구를 진행할 때 본 연구가 제시한 비용 편익 분석 방법을 하나의 가이드라인으로 제시할 수 있을 것이라는 점이다.

Free economic zones play an important role in attracting foreign investment, strengtheningnational competitiveness, and balanced regional development. However, various problems such asinsufficient attraction of foreign-invested companies and difficulty in attracting investment havearisen. In order to minimize the occurrence of such problems, economic analysis must beperformed in advance. However, there are few situations in which economic analysis for thedevelopment of free economic zones, which can be called large-scale development, is notproperly conducted. In addition, there are many cases where policy decisions are made due tooverestimation or underestimation of costs or benefits. Accordingly, this study presented a methodof analyzing the costs and benefits of designating free economic zones, and estimated economicfeasibility for regional cases promoting designation. This study is differentiated in that previousstudies related to free economic zones presented cost-benefit analysis methods and attemptedcost-benefit estimation. In addition, it has an important meaning in a situation where thecost-benefit analysis of large-scale regional development such as free economic zones is hardlyconducted. The academic significance of this study is that it will be able to contribute to empiricalanalysis of free economic zones through cost-benefit analysis methods to prove the policyoutcomes of designating free economic zones in the future. The practical significance of thisstudy is that the cost-benefit analysis method suggested by this study can be presented as aguideline when conducting regional development research in the future.

As the global economy undergoes rapid changes driven by globalization and bloc formation, the era of unlimited competition is accelerating due to the reorganization of global supply chains, the strengthening of protectionist trade policies, and intensifying competition to attract advanced industries. To respond effectively to these economic changes, countries around the world are promoting various forms of special economic zone strategies tailored to national growth hub initiatives and the specific characteristics of their countries and regions. Domestically, in order to overcome the excessive concentration of the Seoul metropolitan area, the southeastern region encompassing Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam is regarded as the “last remaining blue ocean of growth” for balanced national development, and a nationwide consensus is forming on the need to develop this region into a second metropolitan area centered on a maritime capital. Amid these historical trends, the Free Economic Zone system was introduced under the Act on Designation and Management of Free Economic Zones, enacted in December 2002, with the aim of fostering South Korea as a logistics and business hub in Northeast Asia by promoting foreign investment, attracting enterprises, and implementing extensive regulatory deregulation. Currently, a total of nine free economic zones (covering an area of 271.4㎢ with 99 development districts) are designated and in operation nationwide. In particular, the Busan-Jinhae Free Economic Zone is the only free economic zone in South Korea equipped with a Tri-Port infrastructure linking ports, railways, and airports, serving as a gateway for logistics, manufacturing, and business in Northeast Asia, and it has made significant contributions to regional economic development over the past two decades. This study examines the current status and prior research on efficient organizational management of free economic zone authorities, focusing on the Busan-Jinhae Free Economic Zone Authority, and identifies problems through empirical analysis to explore improvement tasks and strategic measures for advancing into a logistics and business hub in Northeast Asia. Furthermore, this study aims to actively identify institutional tasks to strengthen organizational governance and to propose and discuss policy alternatives and approaches that can serve as a stepping stone for balanced national development.

IMF 경제위기 극복과정에서 채택된 산업중심 국토개발 정책은 정책환경의 변화와 집행과정에서 노정된 비효율성 등으로 재검토될 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 현재 추진되고 있는 대표적인 산업 중심 국토개발 정책인 광역경제권개발사업과 경제자유구역사업을 중심으로 산업중심 국토개발 정책을 비판적으로 분석한다. 연구자는 정책추진 이후의 취업자 수 변화와 GRDP 변화 등에 근거하여, 현재의 산업중심 국토개발 정책이 지역 간 불균형 개발 문제 해소에 한계를 보이고 있음을 보여 주고, 거주 환경의 질에 대한 관심의 증대와 같은 국민의식수준의 변화와 맞물려 그 효율성이 점차 떨어지고 있다고 주장한다. 이러한 근거를 바탕으로, 연구자는 변화하는 패러다임에 맞는 정주환경 개선 중심, 도시권 중심, 도시 재생 사업 중심의 정책변화가 필요하고, 중복 지원과 비효율을 극복하기 위해 전문성에 따른 국토개발의 역할 분담과 정책추진체계의 개편이 필요하다고 제안한다.

This study investigates two representative industry-oriented land development projects, the Provincial Economic Zone Development Project and the Free Economic Zone Project. Industry-oriented land development policy has been adopted since the 1997 Asian crisis to improve the economic development of Korea. The study shows that these industry-oriented land development projects have limitations in relieving unbalanced development across regions and in achieving the goal of attracting foreign investments. The efficiency of the projects is also argued as declining due to increased interest by residents in environment and quality of life. The study suggests modifying land development policy based on the evidence above to focus on quality of life, urban areas, and revitalization of old cities following changes in demand and policy environment.

이 연구는 2008년부터 2015년까지 다양한 사회적·시대적 요구와 여건의 변화를 수용하면서, 총 7차례의 개발계획 변경을 통해 지금까지 효율적으로 사업을 추진해오고 있는 대구·경북 경제자유구역 수성의료지구의 사업추진과정 분석하고자 한다. 구체적으로 수성의료지구의 일반적 문제점과 특징적 문제점을 고찰하고 사업추진과정에서 이를 극복한 방안을 고찰하고자 한다. 이를 통해 현재 사업추진에 어려움을 겪고 있는 타 경제자유구역의 사업추진에 있어서 시사점을 제시하고자 한다.

Through a case study of Suseong Medical Zone in the Daegu-Kyoungbuk Free Economic Zone, this research aims at analyzing changes in the development planning process to address problems of the zone and drawing some implications that can be applied to development strategies in other Free Economic District projects. At the beginning, feasibility of the project was weak due to high development costs, lack of investment, and locational limitations. To overcome these barriers, Daegu Urban Development Corporation (DUDC) ? a project investigator (PI) of the project ? conducted a potential demand analysis to establish reasonable development strategies and revised the existing development plan to make the plan more feasible and transparent. Furthermore, the DUDC set up implementation strategies so that the Suseong Medical Zone can attract large-scale anchor facilities. Finally, wide range of investment in infrastructure and strategies for collaboration with Daegu-Kyoungbuk Free Economic Zone authority were suggested in the project. All of these plans and strategies played a role in the project satisfying both existing and emerging demands as a medical zone.
