AB  - Spatial determination planning is at an initial and very sensitive step in the development of wind farms. On one hand, it is important to maximize the potential of wind in a particular area, and on the other hand, it is important to achieve environmental protection (including the human population and natural heritage) in the same space at the same time. With this in mind, it is important to balance all the requirements that are relevant for reaching the optimal solution when determining the micro-location of wind turbines at the earliest stages of the planning and development of wind power projects. In this context, planning is a key stage in finding sustainable solutions for the implementation of such projects, and an indispensable instrument in the planning process, offering support and control is Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA). This paper presents the role of SEA in the planning process for wind farms. The place of the SEA process is identified in relation to other environmental impact assessment instruments, such as Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Environmental Social Impact Assessment (ESIA), and a comparative analysis of these instruments is made, including their advantages and disadvantages. The results of the paper indicate the importance of applying SEA in the earliest stage of wind farm planning, so as to formally apply the precautionary principle and avoid problems, which in the later stages of the project, when EIA is usually used, can be disadvantageous both economically and in terms of environmental impact.

AB  - Determining the spatial position of wind turbines is the initial and most important phase 
in the development of a wind farm project. In this sensitive phase, all potential problems that may 
arise in the later stages of project development should be prevented by means of spatial and urban 
planning instruments. This makes it possible to achieve maximum use of the potential of wind in a 
particular space and, thus, fulfil the technical and economic requirements of the project while re specting the goals of environmental protection in that same area, through preventive protection. 
Therefore, it is essential, even at the earliest planning and development stage of a wind farm project, 
for the requirements that are important for optimal spatial solutions to be balanced. In this process, 
strategic environmental assessment (SEA) is a support to the planning process and an invaluable 
instrument for finding optimal spatial solutions for the possible key spatial impacts of wind power 
with regard to noise, shadow flicker, ornithofauna and chiropterofauna. The weakness of SEA can 
be seen in its predominant application of expert qualitative methods that bring with them subjec tivity, since they depend on expert knowledge and skills. This paper presents the aspect of noise 
impact assessment and its inclusion in the SEA for the Maestrale Ring wind farm in Serbia. The 
results of the research indicate how it is possible to achieve the principle of objectivity in the process 
of multicriteria expert evaluation by including the results of a partial impact assessment of the noise 
from wind farms, using results obtained from software modeling of the spatial dispersion of wind 
turbine noise in the SoundPlan 8.1 software package in the SEA process. These quantitative results 
predicting the noise level were used in a semi-quantitative method of multicriteria evaluation in the 
SEA through the definition of criteria to determine the ranking of impacts, which is elaborated in 
the paper. The results also show the significant of the contribution of applying a methodological 
approach based on a combination of qualitative and quantitative evaluation methods in SEA. These 
methods positively affect the application of the principle of preventive protection through the opti mal selection of the number and position of wind turbines on one hand and the objectivity of draw ing conclusions based on which strategic decisions are made in the final phase of the SEA process, 
on the other.
