본 연구는 농업지역의 가뭄 발생에 대하여 활용되는 관정의 효율적 관리를 목표로 우선관리가 필요한 취약지역을 선정하는 방안을 수립하였다. 특히 한국에서는 논 위주의 농업 생산기반정비가 진행되어 왔으나 최근 경제성장과 소득증대에 따른 농산물 소비 구조의 변화로 다양한 밭 작물경작이 증가하여 밭 관개시설물에 대한 정비가 요구되고 있다. 따라서 가뭄 대응을 위한 밭작물의 용수공급 시설물인 관정에 대한 취약성 평가를 통하여 관리의 목표와 우선관리 지역의 선정이 필요하다. 가뭄에 대한 관정 취약성 평가는 최근 널리 사용되는 다기준의사결정 기법인 TOPSIS를 적용하였으며, 한국 전역 158개의 시, 군을 평가대상으로 한다. 평가 인자는 관정능력 및 효율에 긍정적 영향을 주는 강수량, 지하수위, 관정 당 양수량과 부정적 영향을 주는 경지면적, 연속무강우일수, 민간관정 비율을 선정하였다. 평가결과로부터 관정 당 양수량과 상수도 보급율이 관정 효율 취약성 평가를 통한 우선 관리 순위선정에 주요한 영향을 주는 것으로 분석되었다.

The need for improvement is raised due to limitations with environmental impact assessment, and the importance for data-based environmental impact assessment is increasing. In this study, data demand was derived by analyzing Agreed Terms and Conditions in the Water Environment field (Water Quality, Hydraulic & Hydrologic Conditions, and Marine Environment) of environmental impact assessment. Agreed Terms and Conditions on environmental impact assessment in the water environment field were classified and categorized by environmental impact assessment stage (addition to status survey, impact prediction and evaluation, establishment of reduction measures, post-environmental impact survey), and data demand for each type of consultation opinion was linked. As a result of the categorization of Agreed Terms and Conditions, it was classified into 18 types in the water quality, 15 types in the hydraulic & hydrologic conditions, and 17 types in the marine environment. As a result of linking data demand, the total number of data demand was 236 in the water quality, 98 in the hydraulic & hydrologic conditions, and 73 in the marine environment. The highest number of Agreed Terms and Conditions and data demands were found in the water quality for the evaluation item and establishment of reduction measures, specifically establishment of non-point source pollution reduction measures, for the stage. The numbers were judged to be linked to the relative importance of the items and the primary purpose of environmental impact assessment. The derivation of data demand through the analysis of Agreed Terms and Conditions in the environmental impact assessment can contribute to the advancement of the preparation of environmental impact assessment reports and is expected to increase data utilization by various decision-makers by establishing a systematic database.

Biodiversity holds significant importance within the framework of environmental impact assessment, being utilized in site selection for development, understanding the surrounding environment, and assessing the impact on species due to disturbances. The field of environmental impact assessment has seen substantial research exploring new technologies and models to evaluate and predict biodiversity more accurately. While current assessments rely on data from fieldwork and literature surveys to gauge species richness indices, limitations in spatial and temporal coverage underscore the need for high-resolution biodiversity assessments through species richness mapping. In this study, leveraging data from the 4th National Ecosystem Survey and environmental variables, we developed a species distribution model using Random Forest. This model yielded mapping results of 24 mammalian species' distribution, utilizing the species richness index to generate a 100-meter resolution map of species richness. The research findings exhibited a notably high predictive accuracy, with the species distribution model demonstrating an average AUC value of 0.82. In addition, the comparison with National Ecosystem Survey data reveals that the species richness distribution in the high-resolution species richness mapping results conforms to a normal distribution. Hence, it stands as highly reliable foundational data for environmental impact assessment. Such research and analytical outcomes could serve as pivotal new reference materials for future urban development projects, offering insights for biodiversity assessment and habitat preservation endeavors.

This study was carried out to measure atmospheric environmental improvement effect and estimate its social benefit of thermal power plants through Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for quantitative analysis about operational performances of EIA. In this study, 'EIA outcome' is defined as whether or not the system is implemented, therefore, environmental standard to be followed by each project and consultation contents were compared. In total 60 cases of thermal power plant construction projects that have been consulted over the past 10 years since 2010, major air pollutants have been significantly reduced after the implementation of EIA. The $PM_{10}$ reduced annual 3,745 tons, $NO_2$ by 74,569 tons, and $SO_2$ by 37,647 tons, which were estimated at approximately 240 billion won~5 trillion 967 billion won per year for social benefit. This means the total cost of power plant operations will be cut to 7 trillion 192 billion won~178 trillion 994 billion won over a 30-year period. The reduced amount of air pollutants emitted by energy generation facilities across the country is worth 50%, and its economic value is larger than the annual Current Health Expenditure in Korea. This is meant by the fact that all projects are subject to uniform criteria under the existing relevant regulation, but that each project plans are optimized according to the characteristics of target areas and projects through the process of EIA.

This study reviewed the development process of the consultation guideline for the environmental assessment of offshore wind power. Based on this, implications and improvement plans for a future revision of the guidelines. Domestic and foreign case studies reviewed the consulting cases on domestic offshore wind power development projects, environmental location consulting cases, and guidelines related to overseas offshore wind power and analyzed location characteristics and significant environmental issues by project. Major environmental issues related to offshore wind power include birds, noise and vibration, marine animals and plants, marine physics, marine water quality and sediments, marine landscapes, and other auxiliary facilities installed on land. Implications and improvements for revising the consultation guidelines for evaluating offshore wind environments require data and clear guidelines at the central government level to determine areas where offshore wind projects can be located. In a situation where the importance of cumulative impact assessment is emphasized, guidelines for cumulative impact assessment methodologies for each item that reflect the domestic situation should be prepared for a cumulative impact assessment on offshore wind power environmental issues. In addition, when revising the consultation guidelines, empirical research cases should be reflected through the accumulation of environmental surveys and monitoring data of offshore wind farms by sea area.

오늘날 지속가능한 발전의 주요 목적으로서 환경의 효과적 보호와 신중한 자연자원의 이용이 강조된다. 이와 같은 목적들을 성취하기 위해서 종합적인 경관 정보가 필수적이다. 한국의 경우, 도시화는 전통적인 농촌 경관 변화, 산림 손실과 단편화 등 많은 환경 문제를 야기했다. 특히 산림이 높은 생물 다양성 가치를 갖고 있는 한국으로서는 산림 손실과 단편화는 생태관점에서 보면 아주 치명적이다. 현재 개인 또는 공공 부분 개발 프로젝트를 위한 환경 영향 평가의 일부분으로 시각 경관 영향 평가가 요구된다. 그러나 이런 시각 경관 영향 평가는 단지 전체 경관의 일부분의 경관 정보만을 제공하고, 특히 현재 경관 평가에서는 경관의 생물 다양성 가치를 평가하지 않는다. 본 연구는 이와 같은 문제점들을 극복하고 한국 상황에 맞는 지속가능한 경관 계획을 위한 필수적인 종합 경관 정보를 제공하기 위해서, 경관 특성과 생물 다양성 가치 평가를 위한 생태 이질성 지수를 결합한 진보된 경관 특성 평가 방법론을 제시하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이 방법론을 통해 경관 특성 평가에서 12가지 경관 특성 유형(type)을 분류하였고 그것의 분포, 경관 특성적 형태, 경관 특성에 부정적인 영향을 줄 수 있는 개발 압력 등을 분석하고 서술하였다. 분석 결과, 주택과 산업 단지 개발, 농지 형질 패턴 변경, 수변 공간 개발 등이 주요 개발 압력으로 나타났다. 경관 생태 이질성 평가 결과에서는 도시근교 지역과 농촌 경관 특성 유형 지역에서 잠재적 생물 다양성 가치가 높았다. 산림 지역 경관 특성 유형에서는 잠재적 생물 다양성 가치가 중간 수치로 나온 반면 도시 경관 특성 유형에서의 잠재적 생물 다양성 가치는 아주 낮았다. 비록 제한된 데이터와 경관 생태 이질성 지수 사용으로 인한 문제점들(스케일 종속적, 변화 패턴이 예측하기 힘든 지수, 자의적인 분류시 다른 결과 발생, 더 종합적인 생물 다양성 잠재력을 평가하기 위해서는 더 많은 다른 경관 생태 지수 필요 등)이 제기되었지만, 이 연구에서 제시된 진보된 경관 특성 평가 방법론을 통해 얻은 종합적인 경관 정보가 지속가능한 경관계획을 할 때 어떻게 잘 활용되어질 수 있는지 예로써 증명하였다. 그 결과 진보된 경관 특성 평가 방법론이 지속가능한 경관 계획을 위한 수단으로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
