Understanding 'local' opposition to wind development in the UK: How big is a backyard? (2010, background): “For example, the ‘use value’ associated with the WCP site might have negatively influenced opinion towards development amongst those respondents living closest to it (i.e. High Green) (see van der Horst, 2007).”
Social acceptance of renewable energy innovation: An introduction to the concept (2007, neutral): “Dan van der Horst’s paper (Van der Horst, 2007, this issue) lexplains the importance of six ‘variables’ that can hamper the comparison between different public perception studies, and offers two broad conclusions.”
The predominance of economic development in the support for large-scale wind farms in the U.S. Great Plains (2012, background): “These include potential impacts to wildlife, particularly birds and bats [10,11], visual and noise impacts on communities [12–15], issues relating to siting [16–18], and the ability to more clearly identify the system-wide environmental and emissions impacts from wind energy [19].”
Good Neighbours, Public Relations and Bribes: The Politics and Perceptions of Community Benefit Provision in Renewable Energy Development in the UK (2010, methodology): “, 2010 ; Devine-Wright, 2007 ; Van der Horst, 2007 ) in the face of locally unwanted land uses (LULUs, see Freudenburg & Pastor, 1992 ), although this characterization has been criticized as inaccurate, unhelpful and an attempt to de-legitimize and dismiss opposition (Bell et al.”
Acceptance, acceptability and environmental justice: the role of community benefits in wind energy development (2011, background): “…delineate the ‘communities’ that are to benefit from any community benefits, parties are negotiating complex geographies of place, risk and entitlement (van der Horst 2007), with a high likelihood of encountering groups who feel that their concerns have gone unmet (Gross 2007, Clinch et al. 2008).”
Does the presence of wind turbines have negative externalities for people in their surroundings? Evidence from well-being data (2017, background): “Likewise, it does not reveal the relationship 6 Wind Turbine Externalities and Well-Being of interest, mitigating the incentive to answer in a strategic or socially desirable way (Kahneman and Sugden, 2005; van der Horst, 2007).”
