개별입지 규제의 개선 방안 연구

This study examined the legal issues and improvement measures related to major individual site regulations in South Korea from the perspectives of necessity, appropriateness, and effectiveness. Specific research findings, conducted by selecting existing regulations that impose high regulatory burdens and costs from the perspectives of regulatory burden and regulatory costs, are as follows. First, hydrogen refueling station installation regulations themselves do not directly guarantee the safety of facilities utilizing energy sources, resulting in low public protection effectiveness. Therefore, to enhance public protection, it is advisable to review regulations related to facility safety. Second, regarding restrictions on ammonia storage facility locations, regulations can be finely differentiated based on the relative safety of energy sources. Therefore, proposing more relaxed regulatory standards for ammonia storage facilities is expected to help activate the hydrogen economy. Third, for areas bordering the Seoul metropolitan area, legal revisions are necessary to prevent excessive taxation damage caused by regulations like development-restricted zones and to enhance the utilization of regulated areas. Fourth, improving regulations in the Seoul Metropolitan Area's natural conservation zones should prioritize pollution prevention policies that proportionally prohibit siting in sensitive areas like water sources in advance, in line with the law's intent. Regulatory improvements should be made within the scope of complying with regulations in water source management areas, such as water source protection zones and special countermeasure zones. Fifth, clear standards and guidelines are needed for business address registration criteria related to online businesses. The implications of this study for improving Korea's individual location regulations suggest, first, that the existing rigid regulatory approach should be avoided, and the quality of individual location regulatory tools must be enhanced. Specifically, it is necessary to proactively reduce the regulatory burden on small and medium-sized venture companies by strengthening the substance of regulatory impact assessments for industrial location regulations, establishing provisions for differentiated regulation within the Industrial Location Act, and introducing a negative regulatory approach within industrial locations. Furthermore, industrial site policy coordination is needed from a cross-ministerial perspective, transcending the individual jurisdictions of each ministry. Alongside this, establishing a dedicated ombudsman within the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy to facilitate bottom-up industrial site regulatory improvements is requested. This will build a system to actively identify and reflect the needs of SMEs, venture companies, and startups.
