prevnext

In the 10th Korean Standard Industrial Classification (KSIC), the shipbuilding industry is listed as the “Building of ships and boats.” The location quotients for the shipbuilding industry ranked by descending order were Geoje-si, Dong-gu in Ulsan, Yeongam-gun, Goseong-gun (in Gyeongsangnam-do), Heanam-gun, Yeongdo-gu in Busan, Tongyeong-si, Mokpo-si; at the -si/-do area levels, the shipbuilding industry is mainly concentrated in Gyeongsananm-do, Ulsan, and Busan. The top two shipbuilding regions indicate a relatively high level of the location quotient (over 30), suggesting that the shipbuilding industry is very unevenly distributed. The number of workers for the shipbuilding industry ranked by descending order were Ulsan, Gyeongsangnam-do, and Busan. The value added for the shipbuilding industry ranked by descending order were Gyeongsangnam-do, Ulsan, and Busan. 

In the 10th Korean Standard Industrial Classification (KSIC), general purpose machinery manufacturing is listed as “Manufacture of general purpose machinery,” including “Manufacture of internal combustion piston engines and turbines, except aircraft, vehicle and cycle propulsion engines” and “Manufacture of fluid power equipment.” The location quotients for general purpose machinery manufacturing ranked by descending order were Geochang-gun, Gangseo-gu in Busan, Yeongju-si, Haman-gun, Jinju-si, Uiryeong-gun, Gwangsan-gu in Gwangju, and Changwon-si; at the -si/-do area levels, general purpose machinery manufacturing is mainly concentrated in Gyeonggi-do, Gyeongsangnam-do, Chungcheongnam-do, Incheon, and Busan. The number of workers for general purpose machinery manufacturing ranked by descending order were Gyeonggi-do, Gyeongsangnam-do, Chungcheongnam-do, Gyeongsangbuk-do, and Chungcheongbuk-do. The value added for general purpose machinery manufacturing ranked by descending order were Gyeonggi-do, Gyeongsangnam-do, Chungcheongnam-do, Busan, Incheon, and Ulsan.
