Compared to the advanced nations where industry is well developed, developing nations have serious environmental pollutions but have weak administrative bases to execute environmental policies in order to improve the situation. Developing nations usually possess abundant natural environments, but air and water quality is deteriorating and the generation of wastes is increasing in the process of economic development, thus facing serious environmental pollutions. Due to people’s poor environmental awareness and the government’s policy of prioritizing economic development, it is difficult to implement policies to improve environment.
In Korea, problem of environmental pollution was serious in the process of economic development. Much financial investment was needed to solve the problem of environmental pollutions such as air pollution, water pollution, waste and so forth; however, related financial source was not enough. Therefore, various environmental charging systems were introduced based on the principle of charging on polluters and benefiters being conducted in advanced nations and necessary financial sources were prepared to improve the environment and invest in the basic environmental facilities.
