Abstract

Goeje Island located to the south west of Busan City is the second-largest island after Jeju Island in South Korea, and is the principal island of Geoje City. Geoje City has a population of about 230,000. A significant portion of the population depends on shipbuilding to support their livelihood. Although Goeje Island had been joined to land by two bridges from nearby Tongyeong City, the Busan-Geoje Fixed Link called Geoga Bridge was opened in December 2010 and provides a more direct connection to the center of Busan City. In this report, the development impact and utilization policies of Geoga Bridge which was built as a long bridge construction project in South Korea were considered based on two field researches.
