To estimate the change in trade volume, we adopted various models such as gravity model, network model, and modified gravity model. Our test results show that the net effects of the FTA on port throughput estimated by the network model account for 2~6% annual increase in terms of performance in 2012. In contrast, the net effects by the modified gravity model are four to six times higher than those by the network model. Therefore, it implies that there is a large gap in the estimated FTA effect among the applied estimation models. However, this gap can be explained so far as the diversion effect caused by the FTA in trade between countries is taken into consideration. We conclude that the modified network model is the most appropriate for estimating the effect of the FTA in terms of how easily the explanatory variables can be estimated, how exactly the diversion effect of trade can be excluded, and how simple the estimation is.","PeriodicalId":278094,"journal":{"name":"KMI International Journal of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128839434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The water quality in Dingzi Bay was found to fall below the standard of second kind level in accordance with (2004)(In marine functional zoning of China, the sea water quality is divided into four kinds standard. The sea water quality which is lower than the second kind level cannot be used for aquaculture and salt production). According to the (2004), aquaculture and salt industry are the two leading industries in Dingzi Bay, but at present the water quality in Dingzi Bay was not suitable for aquaculture and salt industry development, and the aquaculture and salt industry were incompatible with the needs of marine economy sustainable development and marine environmental protection. Nevertheless, the profound cultural background and Location advantage of Dingzi Bay was not fully developed. Therefore, the remediation and restoration of Dingzi Bay were urgently needed to improve regional environmental, optimize the coastal industrial structure, make good use of cultural tourism resources, and enhance regional economic and social development, the goal of which is to construct the marine culture tourism industry cluster district in Dingzi Bay.

Japanese hub ports such as Kobe, Yokohama, and Osaka enjoyed the preoccupation effect in the liner trades and they transshipped the containers of neighbouring countries and ports from the early 1970s. Since the late 1980s, Busan port could improve its competitiveness in handling costs and connectivity for Japanese medium and small sized regional ports, and expanded its feeder networks to Chinese Northern regional ports in 1990s. A few Chinese ports could be the transshipment hub ports in North-east Asia which menaced the hub status of Kaoshiung and Taiwanese hub port in 2000s, and it may have weakened the feeder network around Korean ports. Through pair correlation, partial correlation, panel data, and panel regression, this study finds significant implications in clarifying interaction and interrelation among the hub ports in North-east Asia. First, the relationship among ports changes continually. Therefore, dynamic interaction among hub ports would continue in 21st century. Second, the panel data and panel regression show us that the container throughput of five hub ports are connected with each other and also have its own specific characteristics. Third, there could be lock-in-effect in port activity, which causes auto-correlation of panel data. Finally, the fluctuation of container throughput of hub ports is affected mainly by trade amount and less by berth length.","PeriodicalId":278094,"journal":{"name":"KMI International Journal of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries","volume":"179 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114381144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Port hinterlands have a geographical advantage and an important infrastructure nearby. However, these merits of port hinterlands are not very significant from the point of view of supply chain logistics. In this respect, clustering can emerge as an alternative to develop port hinterlands. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that are related with specialized industries in relevant regions can be clustered into a port hinterland to improve the competitiveness of supply chain logistics. In addition to the synergy effect it creates, clustering is expected to meet the construction objectives of port hinterlands thanks to its export-oriented nature. Types of businesses that would create synergy effects through clustering should be selected among regionally specialized industries adjacent to a port hinterland. The characteristics of selected businesses among candidates should also accord with the successful factors of clustering, technology accumulation, the likelihood to secure skilled labor, innovation and R&D capacities. As an illustration, locating a packaging cluster near a port can lead to a better connection between manufacturing to logistics. The “total logistics service with packaging” is not a new concept, but this could be a more cost efficient business model in port hinterlands.","PeriodicalId":278094,"journal":{"name":"KMI International Journal of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131211786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study argues that observer status will bring more obligations but fewer rights, and will have negative consequences. The permanent observer status is not the best option for non-Arctic states to participate in Arctic governance. There are many roads to Arctic such as UNLOS, FAO, IMO and the Spitsbergen Treaty that offer many opportunities and strong platforms for non-Arctic states participating in Arctic issues. As a result of these new criteria, the Arctic Council is faced with challenges from non-Arctic states.

In response to the crisis, and especially since Kim Jong II\"s ascendence to supreme leadership in 1998, North Korea made much efforts to address the challenge mainly by rapid growth of fresh-water aquaculture and coastal mariculture, while abandoning traditionally acclaimed fishing industry. As a result, most fisheries production organizations and agencies have experienced fundamental change of their natures and functions. On the one hand, state-owned fisheries companies, which had led North Korea\"s fishing industry, have been transformed from fishing bases to “growing bases”, while many fresh-water aquaculture companies and coastal mariculture companies have been constructed or reconstructed by Kim Jong Il\"s directions. On the other hand, in the name of “solving food problem by oneself”, and under the banner of the “Military-first” politics, prerogative organs from the Party and the military have been monopolizing the bulk of fisheries production sector, isolating it from North Korea\"s “people\"s economy”.
