Abstract

At a time when it is urgent to establish a management system for landscape quality assessment of offshore wind farms in Korea, we analyzed foreign cases to draw implications for improving the landscape quality assessment of offshore wind farms in Korea and to explore the direction of efficient landscape assessment. The main contents derived from the analysis of overseas cases and systems are as follows. First, offshore wind farms are large-scale projects, and it is necessary to consider the landscape from the pre-planning stage, as in overseas cases. Second, the evaluation items for marine landscape quality should be expanded and systematized. Third, a flexible evaluation system that can consider new landscape impacts is required. In order to identify the landscape impacts of offshore wind farm projects, we refer to the landscape assessment items and procedures derived from overseas cases, but reflect them appropriately to the domestic maritime conditions, and specifically introduce a plan to minimize the landscape impacts that may occur during offshore wind farm projects to contribute to the sustainable use of offshore wind power.

우리나라 해상풍력발전단지 경관의 질 평가 관리체계 마련이 시급한 시점에서 외국의 사례를 분석함으로써 우리나라 해상풍력발전단지 경관의 질 평가 개선방안 마련을 위한 시사점을 도출하여 효율적인 경관평가 방향을 모색하고자 하였다. 해외에서 수행한 사례와 제도 분석을 통해 도출된 주요 내용은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 해상풍력발전단지는 대규모 사업으로 해외 사례와 같이 사전 계획수립부터 경관에 대한 고려가 필요하다. 둘째, 해양경관의 질 평가항목의 확대와 체계화가 마련되어야 한다. 셋째, 새로운 경관 영향을 고려할 수 있는 탄력적인 평가체계가 요구된다. 해상풍력발전단지 사업에 따른 경관적 영향들을 파악하기 위해 해외 사례들을 통해 도출된 경관평가 항목 및 절차를 참조하되 국내 해상현황에 적합하게 반영하여 해상풍력발전사업 시 발생할 수 있는 경관영향을 최소화할 수 있는 계획이 구체적으로 도입되어 지속 가능한 해상풍력발전의 활용에 기여하고자 한다.
