한빛원전 인접 영광군 생산 주요 농산물의 가치 피해 추정 연구

Abstract

This study estimates how much the value of agricultural products produced in Yeonggwang-gun, where the nuclear power plant is located, is undervalued. For the five items of Yeonggwang-gun, rice, red pepper, onion, sweet potato, and beans, we asked consumers’ willingness-to-pay using the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM). As a result of the analysis, the general public evaluated the impact of nuclear power plants on the safety of agricultural products relatively lower than those from Yeongwang-gun. After providing information that there is a nuclear power plant in Yeonggwanggun, consumers’ average willingness to pay fell to -6.01%, significantly lower than -2.62% before the provision. Lastly, as of 2018, the total damage to agricultural products in Yeonggwang-gun was estimated to be 60.1 billion won, and the total damage for the last 10 years from 2009 to 2018 was measured to be 49.81 billion won.
