AB - This study empirically examined the operational characteristics and spatial distribution ofthe Mini Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) system by comprehensively analyzing cases in thepower facility sector conducted between 2012 and 2024. The analysis was based on project data registered in the Environmental Impact Assessment Information Support System (EIASS), categorizedby business type, annual trends, regional concentration, and location regulation characteristics. Theanalysis identified a total of 9,476 consultations, with solar power projects accounting for more than95% of the total. The number of consultations increased sharply between 2017 and 2018, driven byrenewable energy expansion policies and Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) weighting incentives,but later declined as regulations were strengthened. Regionally, consultations were concentrated inthe southwestern plains—particularly in Jeollanam-do and Jeonbuk State—reflecting the combinedeffects of site suitability and local government policies. In terms of location regulations, over 86% ofconsultations occurred in management and agricultural zones, while a limited number were alsoconducted in certain protected areas. These findings underscore the importance of cumulative impactmanagement and the establishment of region-specific strategies, as Mini EIAs are highly responsiveto policy shifts and the regulatory environment. Accordingly, this study provides baseline informationthat can inform policy discussions on enhancing coherence between renewable energy expansion andenvironmental sustainability.
