Old industrial complexes are weakening due to aging infrastructure, population decline, and changes in industrial structure, which are leading to corporate work and living environment, employment issues, and decreased innovation capacity. This study aimed to develop sustainable development indicators for old industrial complexes from the perspective of linking old industrial complexes with surrounding and urban areas. The indicators were finally selected through expert Delphi analysis in three sectors, nine fields, and 42 detailed indicators. This study is significant in that it comprehensively considers population and society, industry and economy, and physical and environmental aspects for sustainable development of old industrial complexes, and suggests a direction for sustainable development by linking old industrial complexes with surrounding and urban areas. The final indicators can be used as basic data for establishing the direction of industrial complex regeneration projects based on the current status of old industrial complexes and surrounding and urban areas, and as a means for designating government old industrial complex regeneration project activation zones. In order to increase the applicability of sustainable development indicators for old industrial complexes in the future, importance studies and case studies that apply statistical data on industrial complexes and surrounding and urban areas are necessary.
