본 계획의 대상지는 경상북도 예천군 상리면 고항리 일원이며 기존의 산업곤충연구소와 연계한 예천 곤충 BIO 생태원 조성이 주 목적이다. 계획의 기본방향은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 자연과 인간이 공존 ․ 공생하며 예천군의 소득기반창출을위한 공간조성을 유도하였다. 둘째, LOHAS 개념에 입각한 공간조성을 유도하였다. 셋째, 기존의 산업곤충연구소와연계한 차별화된 주제공간을 조성함으로서 연계성을 극대화 시켰다. 이상과 같은 본 계획은 낙후된 예천군의 이미지제고 및 지역경제의 활성화에 크게 기여할 뿐만 아니라, 지역 정체성 강화 및 향후 곤충 BIO 엑스포 행사의 공간적거점지역으로서 자리매김할 것으로 기대된다.
