摘要

Thus, there has been a lack of an optimum managerial and economic approaches, such as the minimization of the total cost of assets from a life cycle perspective. Moreover, as Korea's National, Accounting Standards obligate the reporting of national asset assessment to the National Assembly every year in order to improve management performance measurement of public institutions and transparency of government accounting, the importance of asset management in infrastructures is expected to become increasingly pronounced. Therefore, this study examined the current institutional status on sustainable infrastructure asset management in Korea and focused on the country's future policy directivity regarding this subject.
