초록

Since Schwab referred to the fourth industrial revolution at the 2016 World Economic Forum, it has been a global issue. In South Korea, it has become a social and political issue, embodied by events such as the game of Go played between human and artificial intelligence (AI) competitors in 2016, and its discussion in presidential election campaigning in 2017. This study reviews the industrial revolution and land evolution conceptually and analyses land policy in South Korea in terms of the fourth industrial revolution. With industrial revolution, land use evolves. For instance, following earlier industrial revolutions land began to be seen as a commodity in the West, and a notable amount of land was changed from arable farmland to pasture in England. National land policy as regards the fourth industrial revolution in South Korea is somewhat unclear. It is interpreted from two different perspectives: the first holds that the fourth industrial revolution has not started yet, but it has become a social and political issue, resulting in it being referred to in national land policy. The second asserts that contemporary society is in the earliest stages of the fourth industrial revolution, meaning the concept of this revolution is somewhat vague and national land policy also is unclear. In any case, it is difficult for national land policy to respond to changes prompted by the fourth industrial revolution properly at the current time. In South Korea, the government tends to respond to changes caused by industrial revolutions. In this study, the question of whether it is appropriate for the government to respond to such changes caused by the fourth or new industrial revolution is also reviewed. It is argued that the private sector-led response to the industrial revolution is appropriate in terms of consistency, and the public sector needs to support the private sector through measures such as deregulation or subsidies.
