A Demand Survey on New & Renewable Energy Resource Map Contents Targeting an Expert Group

전문가 설문에 의한 신재생에너지 자원지도 콘텐츠 수요조사

The Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) provides the web service of the New-Renewable Energy Resource Map (www.kier-atlas.org), which offers comprehensive information for new-renewable energy resource assessment based on the Geographical Information System (GIS). In order to shift a development framework of map content from supply-push to demand-pull, a demand survey was conducted targeting KIER, an expert group in the new-renewable energy field. Firstly, ideas of new map content were derived from an in-depth interview survey targeting the specific researchers who are willing to use a new-renewable energy resource map to their research projects. Secondly, a web-based survey was carried out targeting all researchers in KIER to evaluate the political, business and research importance, ease and difficulty of the proposed map contents, and its necessity and availability. Finally, an Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) was performed to identify the high-priority, urgently needed thematic maps, which were chosen as a building-integrated solar thermal map and a suitability map for wind farm development.
