Abstract
With the movement of the Paris agreement, MOTIE planned to build Southwest 2.5GW offshore wind farm near Gochang, Buan and Yeonggwang to be the 3rd largest wind power in the world. But Southwest 2.5GW offshore wind farm faces the objections from the community. This research examined visibility that beach residents might determine if the offshore wind farm has significant effect on the acceptance. The result is as follows. First, the visibility and beach residence have a negative attitude towards acceptance. Second, according to Logit analysis, beach residency is the most crucial factor for the attitude toward offshore wind farm. Third, the former national project has statistically significant impact on acceptance. For example, the respondents who had favorable impression on the former national projects, tend to have positive acceptance on offshore wind farms. At a same time, the people expecting the former national projects had strong impact on offshore wind project, are inclined to have negative acceptance. Finally, to improve the local acceptance, I suggest that government should construct tourist attractions, connecting offshore wind farm and Byeonsan National Park, marine ranching, based on an underwater theme park and offshore wind farm cluster.
