Abstract
The study analyzes linkages between the policy recommendation resulting from a multiregional-multicommodity national transportation development model and its implementation programs that the government of Korea has adopted and revised for its Fifth Five Year Development Plans in the transportation sector, examining differences between model results and implementation programs in light of political and socio-economic factors involved during the 1980–1983 period. The paper also attempts to shed light on issues in building multiregional-multicommodity models in particular reference to developing countries.
