This study aimed to analyse the average path length of the wind power industry network in the Honam Economic Region using the 2005 Input-Output Tables presented by Bank of Korea(2009). For this purpose, the study analysed the degree of industry specialization and the social networks needed to understand the structure of the production chains in industry specialization. As a result of analysing the average path length, it was discovered that primary industries such as iron and steel, chemical products, and motors tended to use products of other industries as intermediate materials in Honam. As a result of analysing the networks of the wind power industry in Honam, networks became connected at a higher rate than they were separated. This means that industries related to the wind power industry were well-connected with other industries. Political suggestions for the development of the wind power industry in Honam are the following. First, metal products and mechanical components for general use in the wind power industry had a high connection rate with specific industries and the structure of the networks was dispersed. Second, within Honam there exists 80% of the components used in the wind power and generator industries, and 20% of the installation and development services. In particular, the local installation and development services were weak. The third, the weight of the wind power industry in Honam was weaker than that of other industries when compared to companies dealing in plastic, metal products, components for general use, electric appliances and other devices which were not in a central location as seen in a network spring map.
