ABSTRACT

Water-power generation is one of ways to reduce green house gas to improve global warming. It is a sort of CDM (Clean Development Mechanism), green house gas-reducing project which is executed by advanced country and emerging country together. However, water-power generation which is one of recycled energy to improve environment has many merits but affect negatively in terms of environmental, social, cultural aspects as dams are constructed for water-power generation. Due to this negative impact, a lot of conflict is generated while building dams. However, dam construction can’t be stopped because of such conflicts entirely. Therefore, the methods to solve such conflict were searched. The greatest conflictive subjects are citizens and operator. As a method to solve fundamental conflict with citizens, suggestion to guarantee citizens’ participation procedure and necessity to change the subjects for public hearing into the subjects who can secure fairness and objectivity were explained. Most of all, as reviewed the cases, it was suggested to build consultative body comprised of diverse concerned parties and make the body decide for different issues. And as FIT has been changed into RPS and recycling energy production proceeds in a big scale, environment could be damaged more. New method to compensate is required, which was mentioned. In addition, citizens who reside around dams have many inconveniences rather than benefits by building dams. For these citizens, effort to facilitate citizens’ economy around dams is required and flexible moving policy needs to be executed. Additionally, dispute related to recycling energy will continuously happen. To solve this kind of dispute, dispute resolution bodies were mentioned. Finally, methods to apply previous dams as a method not to build new ones were suggested.
