Abstract

The addition and evaluation of health impact items in Environmental Impact Assessment document are written in hygiene and public health items only for specific development projects and are being reviewed. However, after the publication of the evaluation manual on the addition and evaluation of health impact items in 2011, there is a demand for continuous methodology and improvement plans despite partial improvement. Therefore, in order to propose a methodological improvement of the evaluation manual, this technical paper identified detailed improvement requirements based on the consultation opinions on hygiene and public health items, and investigated and suggested ways to solve this problem by reviewing the contents of the research so far. As for the improvement requirements, the contents related to mitigation plan, post management, effect prediction, assessment, and present-condition investigation were presented in Environmental Impact Assessment documents for the entire development project at a frequency of 93%, 85%, 80%, 74%, and 67%, respectively. Particularly, the detailed improvement requirements related to mitigation plan consisted of an establishment direction and a management of development project. Considering the current evaluation manual and the frequency of improvement requirements, this paper proposed concrete methods or improvement plans for major methodologies for each classification of hygiene and public health items. Furthermore, a comprehensive evaluation methodology related to whether a project is implemented was proposed, which is not provided in the current assessment manual.

환경영향평가서 내 건강영향 항목 추가·평가는 특정 개발사업에 한하여 위생·공중보건 항목에 작성되어 검토되고 있다. 하지만 2011년 건강영향 항목 추가·평가 관련한 평가 매뉴얼이 발간된 이후에 부분적인 개선에도 불구하고 지속적인 방법론의 구체화 및 개선방안 마련을 요구하는 실정이다. 이에 본 기술논문은 평가 매뉴얼의 방법론적 개선방안을 제안하고자 위생·공중보건 항목의 협의의견을 바탕으로 세부적인 개선요구 사항을 파악하고 그간 연구내용을 고찰하여 이를 해결하기 위한 방안을 조사·제시하였다. 개선요구 사항으로는 저감방안, 사후관리, 영향예측, 평가, 현황조사 순서로 관련한 내용들이 전체 개발사업의 평가서에서 각각 93%, 85%, 80%, 74%, 67% 빈도로 제시되었다. 특히 저감방안 관련한 세부적인 개선요구 사항은 저감방안의 수립방향 설정과 금회 개발사업의 관리방안에 대한 내용이 대부분이었다. 현행 평가 매뉴얼 및 개선 요구사항의 빈도를 고려하여 위생·공중보건 항목의 구분별 주요 방법론에 대한 구체화 또는 개선방안을 제안하였다. 나아가 현행 평가 매뉴얼에는 제시되어 있지 않은 사업시행여부 관련한 종합적인 평가 방법론도 제안하였다.
