  • This paper diagnosed the assessment problems and development types of the simple statement of the Sea Area Utilization Consultation System. and suggested the key assessment items for system improvement. The major types of Public Water occupation and use, and distribution characteristic of regional and coastal were analyzed by evaluate 529 review items during 2010-2012. The artificial structure installation including harbor and fishing port facilities in the South and West coast, and seawater supply and drainage for land-based aquaculture and power plant were dominated. The checklists considering each types of occupation and use in Public Water were suggested. In addition, policy proposals for system improvement were suggested.

  • This study reviewed the type of the project and developmental plan related to ocean energy development in the coastal land boundaries and the ocean, and suggested the efficient scoping method through the diagnosis of the key items of environmental impact assessment (EIA) in the coastal area. The major projects are the construction of tidal power plant, tidal current power plant, and offshore wind power plant in the public water, and also those are the construction of solar power plants in the coastal land boundaries. While the project plans on a large scale such as the construction of tidal power plant, it is important to consider both property of usefulness of the designated areas and harmony analysis with marine space availability based on the adequacy of the site selection and relevance of plan with the master plan for reclamation and strategic environmental assessment (SEA). And also it needs to be considered the careful checkup on the EIA checklist referring to the type of project, effective post-monitoring, and suggestion of mitigating methods to minimize the environmental impacts during the stage of actual environmental impact assessment. Introduction of a system of integrated marine environmental impact assessment should be considered for reasonable and effective manage to developmental projects on the marine spatial area.

  • The rapid impact assessment matrix (RIAM) might be a new tool for performance of an environmental impact assessment (EIA), comparing with many traditional methods of EIA, which have produced large reports setting out the subjective judgement reached by the assessors. The main criticisms of E1A are in part a natural result of the traditional method used. RIAM uses a structured matrix to allow for such judgement, both subjective and those based on quantitative data, to be made on a like-by-like basis, and provided a transparent and permanent record of the judgement made. Also, the computerized RIAM system using software program allows for the matrix to be shown in graphical form, which greatly enhances the clarity of the results produced by this method. RIAM provides a system by which development options and scenarios can be rapidly evaluated. To illustrate the use of RIAM, an example from an EIA study using application of scoping by assessment criteria in Environmental Impact Regulation of Korea was given. The criteria that might be used to evaluation EIA methods, and how RIAM measures up against these criteria, are discussed.

  • Environmental impact assessment has been performed as preliminary assessment system in order to conserve environment value and minimize negative effect from development. Assessment based on data has been necessary to strengthen objectivity in process of Environmental impact assessment process. Furthermore extended use of spatial information in Environmental impact assessment system has been required through spatial information provided at government level and possibility connected with spatial information in Environmental impact assessment. However spatial information has not been systematically utilized in current Environmental impact assessment. Also the environmental impact assessment workers including assessment government employees, agencies of Environmental impact assessment document and review agencies lack an understanding in the concept of spatial information, so there is limit about their use to efficiently. In order to improve these limits in use of spatial information, this study suggested measures to standardize spatial information (coordinate and attribute table). To do so, based on coordinate and standards certified by the government, this study defined standard coordinates (GRS-80, central datum point, False East: 100000, False North: 200000) and established 9 default items. Lastly, the aforementioned standards were tested for actual environmental impact assessment projects. Standardization measures suggested in this study are expected to contribute to invigorate spatial information utilization in Environmental impact assessment and expand the scope of the assessment.

  • Environmental impact assessment is a regulation that is implemented to reduce harmful environmental impacts of development projects. However, The environmental value is difficult to quantify and the uncertainty, There is a problem of objectivity and reliability of the system is consistently pointed out. Therefore, the necessity of the data-based environmental impact assessment system is gradually increasing. Especially, environmental impact assessment is highly applicable to environmental spatial information because it contains about the development of a particular area. Also with the introduction of EIA Follow-up management system, there is a demand for a system for providing and utilizing environmental information in a time series. This study derives the necessity of information provision system and analyz existing environmental information utilization system based on the institutional characteristics of environmental impact assessment. And suggest ways to provide environmental spatial information to find policy implications for improving the limit of environmental impact assessment system.

  • Development projects and related environmental impacts take place in space. Therefore, it is important to use spatial information in the environmental impact assessment process. This study proposes to construct spatial information produced by various organizations as an inventory and suggests it to be utilized in environmental impact assessment process. For this purpose, investigate the use of spatial information in the environmental impact assessment process and list of environmental space information provided by public information systems. and applied the methodology derived from previous studies to build an inventory of spatial information using environmental impact assessment. The spatial information utilized in the environmental impact assessment work was 64 items. Based on the data availability, linkage and renewability, the spatial information of the Environment that can be used for the environmental impact assessment was 45 items. Finally 49 items, including 19 new items were presented as an inventory, contributing to the performance of environmental impact assessment based on spatial information.

  • This study compares the results of environmental impact assessment with the results of post-environmental investigation, using the case of Taean thermal power plant construction. The atmospheric and water qualities were not greatly changed before and after the construction of the power plant. However, the site of the highest concentration predicted by the atmospheric quality modeling in environmental impact assessment was different from that after operation of 4 power plants. There was also a difference in the diffusion range of thermal discharge water between the measured result(1km) and the predicted value(1.5km) with the model. Thus, environmental impact evaluation should be based on long-term (more than a year) environmental monitoring data. For the modeling of atmospheric quality and numerical thermal discharge water diffusion, appropriate models for each plant should be selected and the numerical modeling should be accompanied by computer simulation, wind tunnel test, etc. Moreover, environmental evaluation should focus more on the degree of impact on surroundings than the prediction of changes in surroundings caused by operation of plants.
