원자력시설의 잠재적 위험이 한빛원전 인근지역 토지가격에 미치는 영향

Abstract

This study used data from the standard land price provided by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the Korea Real Estate Board to analyze the impact of the potential risks of nuclear facilities on land prices near Hanbit Nuclear Power Plant. To explain the impact of potential risks on land prices, the following conclusions were drawn using the Difference In Difference method of standard land price in other regions (Treated Groups) with no nuclear facilities near Hanbit Nuclear Power Plant (Control Groups) and similar to Hanbit Nuclear Power Plant. First, the difference in the standard land price between the Treated Group before and after the Fukushima nuclear disaster occurred is insignificant, but the difference in the standard land price increase rate between the Treated Group and the Control Group is 7.0% to 10.1%. These results confirmed that the potential risk of nuclear facilities affects the change in the standard land price in the area near the Hanbit Nuclear Power Plant. Second, economic actors, governments, and related relationships participating in the land transaction market interpreted that the risk avoidance of external information revealed by the Fukushima nuclear disaster was reflected in the asset value change of relative land price decline. Third, the standard land price between HNPP neighborhood and external area, which has potential risks of nuclear facilities after the Fukushima nuclear accident, is on the rise through change analysis, but the results of Difference In Difference method suggest that social costs have occurred. These results generally confirmed that the benefits of nuclear power plants are fairly distributed to the entire country, but social costs arise in the nearby area where the facilities are located, causing disadvantages to local residents.
