The assessment of impact on the environment is a process, which examines various business plans not only in terms of its economic and technological capabilities, but also regarding environmental elements and compares all these factors in a comprehensive perspective before making the final decision about the most appropriate business plan.
The assessment process is a preventive system for environmental pollution, which has the objective to create an environment-friendly and sustainable development, as well as to build and maintain a fresh environment. The projects subject to this assessment are as follows:

– Projects that are likely to damage the natural environment and ecosystems such as the
creation of country clubs;
– Projects taking place in environmentally-sensitive areas such as natural parks;
– Projects, for which environmental impact is difficult to predict due to the long-term and
complex nature of the effects through the construction of dams and land reclamation
projects;
– Projects creation of housing sites and industrial complexes.

The businesses subject to the assessment pursuant to the present Act on Assessment of Impacts of Works on Environment are 62 project units in 17 areas setting up tourist complexes above a certain size (refer to Appendix 1 of the Enforcement Decree of the Act on Assessment of Impacts of Works on Environment, Traffic, Disasters, etc.).
It is possible that the business itself acts as the proxy for filling out the documents for the assessment process by collecting the opinions of the citizens and relevant administrative authorities and requesting cooperation from the institutions in charge of the assessment (Ministry of Environment or local environment management agencies) after collecting the opinion of residents and relevant administrative organs. After the assessment, it is possible to execute the project, and after the project is completed the after-service is taken care of by the local environment management agencies.
