Introduction Methods of Agropark Concept in Saemangeum Reclamation Area

Abstract

Since the attempt to apply the concept of Agropark into Saemangeum agricultural land recently, necessity for adequate funding to develop the concept into reality and which is appropriate to Saemangeum area. However, 11 complex charged in each function are located individually without connections each other in current land use plan of Saemangeum agricultural land though Agropark concept from the Netherlands is network between other functions spatially at a same place. Therefore, In this study, it is intended to propose two options to introduce Agropark into Saemangeum agricultural land. First, without considering the current land use planning, arrangement of the land use plan can be modified to make some Agropark which is interconnected for resource circulation in specific area, and then the agricultural land will be implemented in stages with many Agropark expanding continuously. This method needs a long-term perspective. Second, if considering a land use plan, it is possible that the current plan must be connected firmly to make functions of Agropark work between each agricultural complex, and pilot model of Agropark can be installed in agro-industrial cluster in Saemanguem. The total comprehensive management center in agro-industrial cluster also should be put no matter what other plans are executed. For the success of Agropark constructions in the future, continuous research and development for the detailed plan and design technology in line with the nation’s real situation is required.
