Comparison of Resident Satisfaction and Influencing Factors by Region and Group of Shinan-gun Solar Power Development Profit Sharing System: Focusing on Spatial Justice

The purpose of this study is to investigate and compare satisfaction levels of residents with the solar power development profit-sharing system and the factors affecting the satisfaction level in terms of the groups’ difference such as the length of residence, and the regions, from a spatial justice perspective. For this purpose, resident perceptions were surveyed using a Likert scale and the collected data were statistically analyzed. As a result of the analysis, the satisfaction level of residents was significantly higher in Jido-eup and Imja-myeon, and also higher for residents who have lived in the area for more than 20 years to 40 years. It was found that procedural justice has affected satisfaction level of residents in all regions and all groups. In general, the Shinan-gun development profit-sharing system is thought to have high satisfaction with economic benefits, but the results show that both procedural and recognitional justice are recognized as more important factors. This study is the first academic attempt to analyze development profit-sharing system using spatial justice frame.
