제주국제자유도시 평가지표 재구성에 관한 연구

Abstract

Jeju Free International City Development project is a national project of the Korean government and Jeju Special Self-Governing Province. It aims to provide a high level of autonomy to Jeju Special Self-Governing Province in all areas except for defense and diplomacy and to make Jeju a national strategic region where people, products and capital freely flow through. Under this project, Jeju is making efforts to attract foreign capital and tourists and invest in education and human resources to pioneer new future industries, thereby enhancing national competitiveness.

Jeju Free International City Development Center, a state-owned corporate, was established in 2002 for successfully carrying forward the project. After the establishment of Jeju Special Self-Governing Province in 2006, central authority has been gradually transferred to Jeju, while regulations have been eased.

Through five-stage regulation improvements, there have been 3,880 cases of deregulation and authority transfer. Also, more and more private investment has accelerated Jeju Free International City project, contributing a lot to the local economy. However, as housing prices have skyrocketed and the number of development businesses has increased, environmental degradation and environmental protection have been paid much attention.

A new evaluation index that fits changing environment should be created to make full use of the continuous achievements so far. Also, we need to set a new goal of 'Jeju Free International City Development' that encompasses environment protection and the connection between investment and Jeju residents' income.

A new evaluation index that fits Jeju's unique characteristics will help increase consistency between policies and our efforts. This study designed an evaluation index for Jeju Free International City focusing on 'Implementation of Free International City Development project' that enhances local competitiveness, 'Index of economic freedom' that is about deregulation and 'environment and coexistence' that is related to environment projection. And it conducted a social survey on 330 residents and analyzed results.

We hope that a 'new evaluation index for Jeju Free International City' will increase the consistency with the project and create more synergy effects.
