We are living in an era changing in rapid speed uncomparable to the past. The world has entered the limitless competition with form of a new international trade order by foundation of WTO and FTA, etc. Endless development of information technology and telecommunication technology have made the world closer, and works as a catalyst to accelerate globalization. Paradoxically, regional development is more important in this globalization era. For creation and use of new knowledges to keep balance in all nations, all regions should maximize their potentials to achieve sustainable nation development without imbalance.Korea has promoted 'imbalance development strategy' through authority-centered development model under the strong centralizing system. As the result, compressive industrialization has been achieved, but numerous issues also have been arisen. Before local government era in 1995, overall insight for regional development was absent, and regional policy focused more on pending questions or displaying administration rather than futuristic values.The government is practically promoting balance plan with a passionate will on national balanced development and east sea region of Korea has capabilities to upgrade exchange and cooperation of East Sea Rim by actively using a new opportunity arising in East Sea Rim Especially, tourism industry utilizing history, culture, and natural tourist attractions of Gangwon province and Gyeongbuk province has name value in Korea and abroad, and has potentials to seek cooperative development through developing package products with shore region of East Sea Rim.'The 4th Multiple Purpose Development of the Land Plan' of Ministry of Construction and Transportation, the 'Joint Management of the Coast Plan and Coast Management Plan' of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, the '5 Year Plan of Balanced Development of the Nation and Innovational Development of the Community Plan' of the Committee of Balanced Development of the Nation and others overlap with the policy of the central government. It is current issue that similar establishing policies are applied to the other areas based on the central government's confirmity. To overcome this, much effort must be exerted in correct selection through merging and abolition of similar policies.This thesis is to suggest the way to bring out the essence of Seorak region of East Sea Rim Hub based on the thorough studies, research and analysis of the government and local governing body's development strategies and policies. However, what's the most important is the faith that community development which enhances the quality of the life of the local residents and community enhancement can lead to the development of the nation.
