Korea is a confined territory, and poor in natural resources, with conditions progressing to rapidly in economic development accordingly the resource problems are serious and in need of analysis to provide directions in resources policy.
The method of study is to first theoretically consider the resource and analysis the Korean status regarding the problems of resources through practical analysis. This would enable accurate guidance in the directions of policy.
Korea as problems of resources are divided as follows; food resources, energy resources and the heavy chemical and industrial resources, these three types are analyzed as follows:
a. Scantiness of the natural resources
Natural resources in the groind such as, line stone, kaoline, and tungusten are comparatively a plenty, but other resources are in a poor state, there are the problems of coal and its mine conservation after 30 years and the oil products which are the reasons for the development of the continental shelf.
b. Gragility of industrial structures
The higher compared with the consumption of goods, in the industry and with in the economic policy points to the growth of the heavy chemical and industrial structures. Of the large resources consumpted the resource supply is getting to a point of fragility with the structure.
c. Overseas dependably of resources
Most of the Korean economy is overseas resource heavy and industry resources leading problems;iron, steel, raw cotton, lumber, raw sugar etc., would also increase to dependability on the overseas supply.
d. Self-supply problems regarding foods
Rice production has achieved self-supply, but in the case of whole foods the demand and supply is at that the rate of self-supply foods, more than 80%, and is marked for importing wheat from overseas.
e. Increase rapidly the resources for demand and supply
Which is marked by an average increasing rate of 30%, the vain resources of the year and it was a lot resources of whole parts, came from overseas.
For solution of the above described problems of resources, I would like to provide the following policy directions.
a. Maximize the interior resources development
It will be to constructive progressing in the interior concervation resources to maximum development, as the plan ;strenthen for tax support and fund financing support, and mine development business firms are even to able refining of less containing mine materials, and with to necessary improvement of special technology.
b. Security of long term stability of overseas supply
For facilitate of the collection of information for overseas resources and to invest for overseas resource development, and to be promoted effectively importing resources. It will be to expected of the resource shortage and international inflation, and so which to be made the comprehensive resources plan.
c. Promotion for substitutional resource development
As to be substitutional goods of that is to say;petroleum from coal, natural gum and raw cotton from chemical fiber, and lumber from cement, etc., as mentioned it would be study and development which overseas depended that s large resource, by each of the items.
d. Strenthening of the recource low consumption movement
For effectively use of the limited resources are display pan-national low consumption movement with constructure which is just as the movement of electric power saving, and would be promote the per unit of resources saving and conservation.
e. Reusing movement for the useless resources
The rate of collection which is a lot resource to be reuse of useless resources also it would be contributed for pollution problems.
Korea is not large consumption country, but a large dependable country of the resources from overseas, and concerned with the resources, poor of interior natural resoueces and so the demand of overseas resources are yesrly increasing.
Korea is not a large consumption country, but a large dependable country of the resources from overseas, and concerned with the resources, poor of interior natural resources and so the demand of overseas resources are yearly increasing.
Therefore dissolve policy of the resources problema are most important task for a long term security supply of resources. The matter of these issues would be win the intensely competition from nationalism of the resources possessed countries and mulit-internaational capitals, and with the importing resources countries.
Finally, for dissolve points of the resources problems are to have win the fighting with with between the human and the nature, and would be wisely subjugation the resource cold war.
