지속가능기반시설 관리제도의 문제점과 개선방안

[Purpose] This study examined whether the Sustainable Infrastructure Management Act enacted in 2018 could be effective in maintaining infrastructure and financing measures for improving performance. [Methodology] Specifically, the Sustainable Infrastructure Management Act and Enforcement Decree were reviewed and referred to overseas cases. [Findings] The main results are as follows. First, the definition of the performance improvement provision specified in this Act is unclear, and it will need to be clearly defined. Second, the method of setting aside infrastructure reserves for each management entity may be redundant investments and there will be difficulties in systematic and integrated management since they are managed independently. Third, there is no mention of how the Act determines the target amount for performance improvement provisions. The target amount for obtaining performance improvement provision may vary depending on the state of the infrastructure for each management entity, but the target amount will need to be clearly defined. Fourth, performance improvement provision needs to be operated as independent accounting entity in order to improve the sustainability and performance of the entire national infrastructure. This purpose could be a more useful tool for fund than for special accounts. [Policy Implications] The Sustainable Infrastructure Management Act was enacted on December 31, 2018 and implemented on January 1, 2020, but the problems and improvements found in this study are expected to provide meaningful implications for institutional improvement for sustainable infrastructure management in the future.
