조선 산업의 디자인 전문인력 필요성에 관한 연구

Abstract

In recent years, Korean shipbuilding industry has been ranked the first place in the world. In spite of the boom of shipbuilding industry and its international power, it has very little relationship with the design industry because of its characteristics. Hereafter the Korean shipbuilding industry will move toward the fields of cruise boats, ferries or yacht, and etc for the high value-added. Those fields have very strong relations with the design skill, and we can expect the need for their design professionals. In this research, we investigate the demand and need for design professionals in Korean shipbuilding industry. First of all, to grasp for demands, we made a population of 533 business enterprises in the fields of building vessels and mechanical equipments. Then, we classified it with 3 groups by the number of employees and the amount of sale, sampled 133 business enterprises from each group by Simple Random Sampling, and investigated the demands of human design resources. Also we inquired the senior designer groups about the need of design professionals in this area by fax, phone, or visiting. They are 50 of professional designers and engineering specialists in shipbuilding industry. The result shows high demand and need for professionals. It is expected that the education of design professionals will result in the following industrial effects. First, it will contribute the prosperity of local shipbuilding industry by the support of advanced design skills. Second, cultural and tourism as well as maritime leisure business also will be benefitted. Third, new job creation for design professionals and the growth of design industry will be achieved together. In the long run, design industry will help the competitive power of shipbuilding industry, an important part of whole Korean industries.
