Social acceptance is critical to the market penetration of new products and technolo-gies as well as the successful implementation of policies, including those concerning energy demand. The hydraulic fracturing technique employed in the development of shale gas has been followed by controversy and this has resulted in the emergence of heterogeneity in attitudes towards the process. This thesis proposes a model for understanding the acceptance of shale gas development. The proposed model encom-passes the factors: perceived benefits, risks and costs, procedural and distributional fairness, trust, outcome efficacy, problem perception, knowledge and experience. The study then explores the impact of information provision from different sources (the government, the industry, environmental NGOs and scientists) and of different con-tent (scientific and non-scientific) on acceptance. A one-way ANOVA suggests that a significant difference between the means of the acceptance of shale gas development close to one’s house exists among the control group and the group that received in-formation from scientists. However, an overall evaluation of the model through the partial least squares technique reveals that apart from that between experience and knowledge, information provision does not alter the relationships among the factors that impact the acceptance of shale gas development significantly. For the experience factor, the results indicate that experience has a strong positive impact on knowledge for the control group only. This is crucial in that it underlines that selecting an ade-quate means of communication between relevant actors and the society could break the utilization of previous experience to construct a knowledge base.

The Impact of Information Provision on the Social Acceptance of Shale Gas Development: A Review-Based Inclusive Model
Kanoglu, Dilge G.; Soytaş, Uğur (2018-08-27)
Social acceptance is critical to the market penetration of new products and technologies as well as the successful implementation of policies, including those concerning energy demand. The hydraulic fracturing technique employed in the development of shale gas has been followed by controversy and this has resulted in the emergence of heterogeneity in attitudes toward the process. This review-based perspective surveys selected contributions of psychology to the literature on social acceptance. While not comp...
The social acceptance of shale gas development: Evidence from Turkey
Kanoglu-Ozkan, Dilge Guldehen; Soytaş, Uğur (2022-01-01)
Social acceptance can have an important impact on the market penetration of energy technologies and the successful implementation of energy policies. Hence, it is essential to develop quantitative measures of acceptance to be able to manage it. This study adopts a behavioral model to examine the antecedent factors of the social acceptance of shale gas development in Turkey. It utilizes data from a structured questionnaire to estimate a partial least squares model that is based on psychological factors that ...
The impact of R&D and knowledge diffusion on the productivity of manufacturing firms in Turkey
Ulku, Hulya; Pamukcu, Mehmet Teoman (2015-08-01)
As the experiences of newly industrialized economies have shown, R&D and knowledge diffusion can play a crucial role in spurring the innovation capacity and productivity of emerging economies. Using firm level manufacturing data from 2003 to 2007, this paper investigates whether R&D intensity and various channels of knowledge diffusion affect productivity in Turkey-one of the fastest-growing emerging economies of the past decade. We find that an increase in the foreign ownership share in firms and technolog...
Quantification of the uncertainties in shale gas reservoirs, a case study for Dadas shale formation
Topçu, Görkem Yusuf; Akın, Serkan; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2013)
In the world of a decreasing conventional oil and gas resources and high energy prices, the unconventional gas resources has become a new focus of interest of the oil and gas industry. Especially, after the American shale gas revolution, both the industry and the economies are trying to explore and exploit their potential resources. Also, Turkey is one of the lucky countries that are known to have important shale gas resources at subsurface. Up to date, Dadas shale formation in the Southeastern Anatolian ba...
The role of regional policies along with the external and endogenous factors in the resilience of regions
Eraydın, Ayda (2016-03-01)
This article aims to discuss the importance of the different policies and measures defined by governments in the resilience of regions, besides their connectedness to the global economic system and their endogenous capacities. The article explores the importance of different attributes in the resilience of Turkish regions (26 NUTS II regions) in the last two recessionary shocks and in the following recovery periods. By analysing the role of regional policies in the resilience of regions in two distinct peri...
