1. Background and Aims of Research
ㅇ The purpose of this study is to propose a system of compensating and supporting local residents to promote the distribution of renewable energy facilities including solar and wind power generation, in part through a profit-sharing mechanism, based on the scale of residential environmental impact.
ㅇ The government's policy is to expand the proportion of renewable energy, but only a small percentage of facilities have actually been installed and are currently in operation after permits for power generation projects were issued. This is mainly due to delays in construction permits, construction procedures, or delays due to opposition from local residents.

2. Cases of Local Residents’ Participation and Conflict in Renewable Energy Development
ㅇ Most reasons for local resident’s opposition in the public disclosure and opinion gathering process of Environmental Impact Assessments are mostly about environmental destruction and residential environmental impact, but some have expressed a desire for compensation.
ㅇ However, despite clear environmental impacts on residential areas, such as noise caused by inland wind power generation, consultations with local residents, such as compensation and profit sharing, are carried out under the responsibility of individual business entities without formal standards or guidelines. As a result, compensation differs depending on the region and farm, resulting in a significant increase in conflicts and complaints between local residents and wind power business entities.
