| Abstract |
Delays in military facility relocation projects result in increased project costs and unresolved disagreements among stakeholders due to the inability to proceed according to the planned schedule. These delays adversely affect operational readiness and the conditions required for military operations, ultimately leading to reduced efficiency. This study was conducted as follows: First, the research focused on "Donation-for-Compensation Relocation Projects," a legal framework wherein the local governments or stakeholders requesting relocation bear the construction costs of military facilities. These costs are later recovered through the development of vacated land transferred to the stakeholders after relocation. Second, to derive efficiency improvement strategies through delay minimization in Donation-for-Compensation Relocation Projects, the entire project management process was grouped into five stages based on relevant directives from the Ministry of National Defense. Empirical delay factors at each project implementation stage were analyzed, and implications for delay minimization strategies were derived and presented based on stakeholder perception analysis. Third, this study utilized 71 cases of Donation-for-Compensation Relocation Projects administered by the Defense Facilities Headquarters of the Ministry of National Defense, which oversees official consultations. These cases were used as primary data for identifying and analyzing delay factors. Fourth, to evaluate stakeholder perceptions of delay minimization strategies, surveys were distributed to 100 stakeholders, including representatives from the Ministry of National Defense, the Defense Facilities Headquarters, and local governments. Responses from 85 participants were analyzed to assess their perspectives on delay minimization strategies. This case study is distinct from previous research due to the unique constraints posed by limited access to military source data. It is expected to contribute to efficiency improvements by minimizing delays in Donation-for-Compensation Relocation Projects. |
