The purpose of this study is to explore ways to integrate the policies related to social infrastructure that are being pursued by individual central departments separately.Specifically, we would like to explore ways to ensure flexibility in the planning and
implementation process in promoting integrated social infrastructure projects and tocarry out post-performance management effectively while easing administrative burdens from the perspective of local governments.
Social infrastructure refers to all kinds of facilities that promote the benefits of people's lives, and is differentiated from traditional SOC, which forms the basis of production(economy). The biggest problem with the supply of social infrastructure was
that each ministry promoted its own projects resulting in facilities being distributed in different locations. In order to overcome these limitations, social infrastructure complex projects are currently being carried out, but the management is still left to individual facilities that make up the complex.
In this respect, the integrated supply and operation of social infrastructure is important, and it can be carried out in 2 ways depending on the level of integration: One is to manage and operate various complex functions within a single facility in an integrated way, but several issues related to the existing SOC complex projects need to be resolved in order to effectively implement it. The other is to link the management and operation of various facilities supplied at the local government level, which requires close cooperation among related departments along with the phased provision of facilities based on plans.
Therefore, this study presented policy tasks in two aspects: 'expanding the project targets and linking the policies' and ‘securing the effectiveness of the project and its operation'.
First of all, in terms of 'expanding the project targets and linking the policies', I
presented how to link the social infrastructure complex projects with the major regional development projects being carried out by different types of region, including urban, rural, and fishing villages. To link with urban regeneration new deal projects, the followings are needed: First, incentives should be provided differently for each provider of social infrastructures in the regeneration plan area, Second, a model for the supply of social infrastructures needs to be created through the combination and utilization of consumer-centered projects. Third, small-scale housing maintenance projects need to be linked to social infrastructure supply plans, Fourth, projects to link the social infrastructure support projects by ministries and the urban account of the Housing & Urban Fund should be explored. In order to connect with general agricultural and fishing village development projects, the followings are needed: First, a model for the supply of social infrastructures tailored to the characteristics of rural areas needs to be created. Second, an integrated service delivery system considering space hierarchy should be planned and established. Third, social infrastructures, which reflect local needs and situations, should be supplied by utilizing idle facilities. For connection with the fishing village New Deal 300 project, the followings are needed:
First, the lowest standard(draft) for social infrastructures considering the characteristics of fishing villages needs to be prepared. Secondly, a model for the supply of social infrastructures needs to be created in connection with the development of local fishing hub ports, Third, how to classify fishing villages should be redefined and the promotion system should be reorganized. Fourth, fishing village’s social and economic organization should be fostered for the operation and management of social infrastructures.
Next, in terms of ‘securing the effectiveness of the project and its operation'. this study presented policy tasks related to the improvement of the budget system, the optimal utilization of national and public property, and the creation of zero-energy social infrastructures. To improve the budget and organizational system, first, a project promotion system based on the mid-term plan should be established, second, budget and accounting processing standards should be set up to simplify the handling of work, and third, the project needs to promoted as a single project and the related responsibility should be transferred to the local government. For the optimal utilization of national and public property, first, the consultation procedures among related agencies on the school facilities complex needs to be improved, second, idle national and public property that is being neglected should be actively discovered and utilized, and third, the links with existing national and public land development and utilization projects should be strengthened. In order to create zero-energy social infrastructures, first, an integrated energy plan by phase(Passive Design ⇒ Active Design ⇒ Renewable Energy ⇒ BEMS) is required, and second, energy saving should be maximized through the combination of technologies such as IoT technology and big data analysis.
