본 연구에서는 보급형 드론과 오픈소스 소프트웨어를 활용하여 참여형 지도를 제작하는 과정을 통해 지역 정보를 수집하고 활용하는 방안을 모색하였다. 드론의 활용 수준과 사용자 참여의 방식을 구분하여 환경조사, 토지이용변화 조사, 지형특성조사 등의 사례 연구를 수행하였다. 연구결과, 참여자의 수준에 따라 드론을 활용한 지도제작의 차이점들을 확인할 수 있었다. 보급형 드론은 저비용으로, 신속한 자료 수집이 가능하다는 장점이 있으며, 오픈 소스 소프트웨어는 자동화와 편의성이 점차 증가하고 있다. 따라서, 드론을 활용한 참여형 지도제작은 지역사회의 변화를 모니터링하는 중요한 방안으로 확산될 것으로 기대된다.

To reduce pollution, decrease the production of carbon dioxide, and to maintain a secure supply of energy, interest continues to grow in the area of renewable energy especially since there is a finite supply of cheap oil. Wind energy is one of the most viable options to consider and supply part of the energy needed to reduce dependence on foreign oil. However, it is difficult to predict the wind speed in an environment with many obstacles such as buildings and trees and getting accurate dimensions of those obstacles is difficult particularly on sloped mountainous terrain. In this study a drone was used to create a 3-D map of the campus of the Catholic University of Pusan. The dimensions and elevations for the 3-D map were used to make a model of the school campus in the CFD program Envi-met. Simulations were run for five different wind directions and 4 different elevations to find the location that would give the highest electrical output for a wind turbine. When considering all of these variables it was found that the optimal location was above the Student Union which had a 40% higher wind speed and could produce 274% more electrical power than the original wind speed.
