경북지역 개발촉진지구사업의 추진과정과 성과분석

An Analysis of the Implementation and Performance of Government Facilitated Development Areas in Gyeongbuk Province

개발촉진지구는 개발수준이 타 지역에 비하여 현저하게 낮은 지역의 개발을 촉진하기 위하여 설정한 특정한 구역이다. 본 연구는 경상북도 내 11개 시ㆍ군을 중심으로 개발촉진지구 개발사업에 대한 사업계획, 추진체계, 민자유치, 사업성과 등 추진과정 및 성과를 분석 하는데 목적이 있다. 분석결과, ① 일관성이 결여된 지구지정, ② 유사한 사업목표 및 내용, ③ 행정절차의 복잡성, ④ 사업기간의 장기화, ⑤ 부족한 민자유치, ⑥ 미흡한 사업성과 등의 문제가 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구에서는 이를 해결하기 위하여 ① 종합적이고 체계적인 정책집행, ② 지역특허제 도입, ③ 민자유치 활성화를 위한 인허가 승인절차의 간소화 등을 제시하였다.

The term "government facilitated development areas" is defined as areas having a low level of development as compared to other regions and as areas which have been earmarked by the Regional Balanced Development and Facilitating Local Small Medium Sized Enterprises Act. The purpose of this study is to analyze the implementation and performance of government facilitated development areas in Gyeongbuk Province. In this study, 11 government facilitated development areas were selected. Four variables were analyzed: project plans, implementation systems, project financing space (in particular, private sector financing), and project performance. This study found there were a number of problems regarding the implementation and performance of the development projects. First, there was a lack of consistency in nominating the regions. Second, the regions had adopted similar plans, but they were not aimed at each region''s particular needs. Third, there was a complexity of administrative procedures in the development process. Fourth, there was a delay of project implementation. Fifth, there was a lack of project financing, in particular, from the private sector. And last, there was a low level of performance. In order to improve this policy, it is recommended that there be a comprehensive and systematic policy implementation, the adoption of a regional patent system and a simplification of the financial approval system.
