Abstract

The recent global energy supply crisis has led to increased uncertainty in international energy markets. These market changes lead to a rise in global energy prices and development is expanding to the extreme cold regions (Arctic Circle) where undeveloped energy resources are abundantly stored. Arctic Circle has a special business environment such as natural environment, laws, institutions and culture, research on location evaluation of development areas is necessary in advance. In this study, the spatial information of Alberta, Canada, where non-traditional energy resource development activities have recently been active, was collected and analyzed. In addition, an optimal location evaluation model for resource development was developed using construction environment spatial information data and the reliability is verified by comparing and analyzing the existing resource development areas.

최근 글로벌 에너지 공급 위기로 인해 국제 에너지 시장에서 불확실성이 증가되고 있다. 이러한 시장 변화로 에너지 가격이 상승하고 있으며, 미개발된 에너지 자원이 풍부하게 저장된 극한지(북극권)까지 개발 대상 지역이 확대되고 있다. 북극권은 기존 에너지 플랜트 사업을 수행하던 지역과 차별되는 자연환경, 법, 제도, 문화, 이해관계자 등 특수한 건설 환경을 가지고 있기 때문에 사전에 개발지역에 대한 다양한 검토가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 최근 비전통 에너지 자원개발이 활발히 이루어지고 있는 캐나다 앨버타(Alberta)주를 대상으로 건설 환경 관련 공간정보를 수집하고 구축하였다. 또한, 건설 환경 공간정보 데이터를 활용하여 자원개발을 위한 최적 입지 평가 모델을 개발하고, 기존 자원개발 지역과 비교·분석하여 신뢰도를 검증하였다.
