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 impact acceptance. This study then explores the influence of the source and content of information on shale gas acceptance. The model results indicate that environmental problem perception and perceived costs do not have a significant effect on the social acceptance of shale gas development. The results have important implications for policymakers as well. The analysis demonstrates that attitudes may be changed through selecting an adequate means of communication between professional actors and society. Effective communication may reduce anxiety about risks associated with shale gas development by allowing individuals to develop a better understanding of the technology. The analysis also suggests that information provision by scientists may prevent the utilization of previous experiences in constructing a knowledge base. (c) 2021 The Authors.

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 impact of information provision on the social acceptance of shale gas development
Kânoğlu, Dilge Güldehen; Soytaş, Uğur; Yılmaz, Ayşen; Department of Earth System Science (2018)
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 fac...
THE ROLE OF COMMUNITY ENERGY PLANNING IN DECENTRALIZATION POLICIES OF TURKEY
Erkan, Esengül; Senol Balaban, Meltem; Department of Urban Policy Planning and Local Governments (2022-1-27)
The thesis examines the applications of renewable energy towards community energy as an urban policy in the local governments of Turkey. A comprehensive study was conducted on the energy production and consumption from renewable energy in the world and in Turkey, and the increase in global renewable energy activities in recent years was discussed together with issues such as climate crisis and localization. In the discussions on political, administrative, and financial decentralization and privatization pol...
The relationship between energy and production: Evidence from Turkish manufacturing industry
Soytaş, Uğur; Sarı, Ramazan (2007-11-01)
This paper investigates the relationship between energy and production at the industry level in an emerging market, Turkey, in a multivariate framework. The electricity consumption and value added relation is examined in the Turkish manufacturing industry, while also accounting for labor and fixed investment. We find that labor, fixed investment, electricity consumption, and value added are related via three cointegrating vectors. The VEC results indicate uni-directional causality running from electricity c...
The impact of variable renewable energy technologies on electricity markets: An analysis of the Turkish balancing market
Sirin, Selahattin Murat; Yılmaz, Berna Nisa (2021-04-01)
As global investment in renewable energy technologies continue to trend upward, the effects of variable (intermittent) renewable energy technologies on power markets have created serious challenges for regulators and policymakers. The literature on the effects of these technologies on day-ahead markets has been well established; however, further research is required on intra-day and real-time (balancing) markets to understand how these technologies are changing electricity market dynamics. In this respect, ...
