As the 2nd Basic Plan for Port Redevelopment (2011-2020) comes to an end, a new basic plan on port redevelopment policy directions and target projects (2021-2030) has been established.

• The new plan includes measures to redevelop port areas to new relational growth centers by coping with ports increasingly becoming old and idle as well as slowdown of economic activities.

Some port facilities have become idle due to construction of new ports, functional deterioration of existing ports, and changes in logistics environment with the growth in vessel size and volume of containerized cargo.

• Port redevelopment projects are underway to transform old and idle port areas into waterfront or urban environments with industrial, residential or commercial functions.

1. Encourage citizen engagement in the entire port redevelopment process

   • Local councils will be legislated to promote active interaction between ports and their cities and regions, including obtaining opinions, holding public hearings, and reflecting feedbacks into project proposals.

2. Strengthen the role and responsibility of local governments and port authorities

   • Some authorities exercised by regional trade ports will be transferred to local governments; A priority for participation in small projects mostly associated with public facilities will be given to local governments; Projects conducted at ports under Port Authorities will be executed by Port Authorities with more simplified procedures.

3. Ensure Public Access in Port Redevelopment Projects

   • When formulating the basic plan, it will present standards on the share of public facilities for each project and a principle that requires waterfront areas to be developed as public areas open to everyone.
   • * Standards on the share of public facilities: more than 50% (30~40% for multi-purpose facilities)
   • Measures to return development gains to the region will be actively taken; guidelines on port landscape will be legislated.

• 1. Categorize each project by type and establish project-specific strategies

  • Based on the purpose and target of projects, project-specific procedures will be applied in a flexible manner (by amending corresponding legislations)

  This is the table with details of Strategy for System Innovation in Port Redevelopment.

  Project Type(Example)	Project Description(Example)	Project Execution(Plan)	Procedures(Plan)
  Port Area Regeneration Project	Regeneration of old downtown by redeveloping old and idle port facilities	led by Central government and Port Authorities, engaged by local governments	When executed by Port Authorities, 3rd Party Proposal, etc. will be omitted

  Port Environment Improvement Project	Creation of waterfronts and cultural facilities for achieving shared prosperity between ports and surrounding areas	led and engaged by local governments	3rd Party Proposal, Negotiation, etc. will be omitted

• 2. Simplify administrative procedures and promote user-friendly systems

  • Project execution procedures will be simplified by integrating some processes such as establishing a project plan and designating contractors; systems related to land use prior to completion, interim payment, partial completion, etc. will be improved to ensure flexible execution.
