Regarding the potential risk and threat of nuclear energy, densely populated Taiwan, with limited land, can bear not even one accident of nuclear crisis. Therefore, promotion of renewable energy and enhancement of diversification of energy become the policy of energy development in Taiwan. Wind power is a kind of renewable energy and it is environmental and the potential of renewable energy development. In February 2012, Executive Yuan ratified the program of “thousand sea-land wind turbine” and it accelerated the private investment in wind power development. However, noise, shadow, vibration of wind power and numerous wind power turbines which have impact on coastal ecology and original function of protection forest are the limitation of current wind power development. In “anti-wind turbine” movement in Yuanli of Maoli, local residents strongly expressed their opposition to installation of wind power turbines. It has been the headline and hot news. However, curiously, why didn’t “anti-wind turbine” movement continue and diffuse in Kuan Yin area? In Kuan Yin, there is the transitional human background of Min-Nan and Hakka people. By in-depth interview, this study explores the impact of wind power on local residents’ environmental consciousness in Kuan Yin and discusses the difference of environmental adaption of local Min-Nan and Hakka people. By Driving force-Pressure-State-Impact-Response （DPSIR） and through multi-dimensional sustainable development measures, such as economy, environment and society, it looks forward to the diverse democratic participation, open and transparent execution, guarantee and response to people’s needs and construction of prospect of local sustainable development upon local conditions.
