The logistics patterns of Korea are analyzed in order to elaborate the strategies of Korean Free Economic Zones (FEZs) in relation to Northeast Asian logistics hubs. As the surface transportation of Korea, China, and Japan is cut off by geographical features and by political borders, this paper confines the scope of analysis to air and maritime transportation. From this analysis in the east Asian region, an attempt is made to understand the cargo flow from and to Korean airports and ports by region and commodity types, thereby identifying the main counterpart regions of trade by commodity and mode. The policy implications for the development strategy of Korean FEZs (Incheon, Busan, and Gwangyang) are described from these analyses.
