Table 1 Environmental management continuum for industrial parks
Standard Industrial Park
Concentrated industrial and business activity within a defined
planning boundary with organized infrastructure
Eco-labeled Industrial Park
A labeling scheme developed in France to recognize an
organizational set of enhanced environmental practices and
amenities in industrial parks and zones
Environmental Industrial
Park
Clusters of manufacturers of environmental products providers of
environmental services and developers of environmental
technologies
Eco-efficient Park
Cluster of companies working to reduce resource intensity,
control pollution and minimize collective waste outputs
Environmentally balanced
industrial cluster
Clusters of industries co-located such that the by-products of one
become the inputs or materials for other businesses or
industries to minimize waste and dissipation of resources
Eco-Industrial Park
Clusters of companies taking into account of ecological limits,
using resource-efficient infrastructure, buildings and
processes, networking purchases and a balance of producers,
scavengers and decomposers
• Track present trends and emerging challenges and opportunities, including:
patterns of inter-company collaboration, technologies, and firms that support
by-product exchange, changes in regulations at all levels of government.
• Support continuous evolution of economic and environmental performance for
individual companies and the park as a whole by managing a learning center and
designing new inter-firm initiative.
• Conduct audits of successes as well as failures in EIP performance to assure
learning and improvement.
• Coordinate provision of shared support services.
• Set up a project operations room to support effective work by the park man-
agement company and the community self-management system or tenants
association (Lowe
2001
).
EIP requires an ecological or systematic approach and must be more compre-
hensive involving more aspects and both management and tenants. EIP can be a
part of environmental management continuum for industrial parks as shown in

3 Eco-Industrial Park Development in Korea
Industrial policies in Korea have been changed drastically since the Ministry of
Commerce, Industry, and Energy MOCIE(currently the Ministry of Trade,
Industry, and Energy) since February, 2013 enacted 'the Act to Promote Envi-
ronmental Friendly Industrial Structure' in December 1995. Based on this Act, the
