Abstract

This study seeks to clarify the process of development and the change of freight flows in the influence areas of Pyeongtaek and Dangjin Port, which opened lately. The results of analysis are as follows: from development period to growth period, the relation between the development of the port and the change of the hinterland and foreland shows no great change and the freight concentration rates of the first hinterland and foreland decreased, but those of periphery region increased. While the composition rate of import and export freight of vehicle, fuel and energy decreased, the rate of imported freights (iron or steel, other textile articles, rag and organic compounds) and exported freight (manufacture of basic metals) increased. The reasons for such changes in influence areas of port were the increase of export to China and the U.S.A. in the development period, the increase of import from China in the growth period and the diversification of nations from which fuel and energy were imported.

본 연구는 비교적 개항의 역사가 짧은 평택 당진항의 항만 발달과정과 화물유동의 항세권 변화를 밝히는 것을 목적으로 그 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 평택 당진항의 항만발달과 배후 지향지 변화와의 관계를 보면, 개발기에서 성장기로 나아가면서 배후 지향지의 지역적 범위는 크게 변함이 없으나 1차 배후 지향지의 화물 집중률은 낮아지고 주변지역에서의 비중이 증가하는 것은 자동차와 연료 에너지의 수출입화물 구성비가 낮아진 반면 수입하는 철강, 기타 섬유제품 넝마, 유기화합물, 수출하는 1차 금속산업 제품의 점유율이 증가하였기 때문이다. 이는 개발기에 중국과 미국으로의 수출, 성장기에 중국으로부터의 수입 증가와 연료와 에너지의 수입국 다변화가 이와 같은 항세권 변화를 나타내게 하였다.
