The term "顯著不利影響" in the context of Taiwan's environmental impact assessment regulations refers to a significant adverse impact on environmental resources, characteristics, or the habitat of conservation-worthy flora and fauna. It also encompasses actions that surpass local environmental quality standards, pose risks to public health or safety, adversely affect other countries' environments, or any other negative effects recognised by the competent authority[1][2][4].

This term is crucial in evaluating proposed projects, ensuring their environmental compatibility, and protecting local ecosystems and communities[5]. The regulations aim to prevent actions with pronounced detrimental consequences, promoting sustainable development and responsible environmental management[3][6].
