Landowner Acceptance of Wind Turbines on Their Land: Insights from a Factorial Survey Experiment
基于加拿大西部大规模农业土地所有者的实验数据，研究了社区关系和程序公平如何影响他们对风电项目的接受度，发现本地或合作所有权、对邻居的补偿以及社区参与能显著提升接受度。
This study uses data from a vignette experiment (n = 401) of large-scale agricultural landowners in western Canada to quantify attributes that enhance acceptance of wind farms on their land or in their municipality. The analysis addresses the role of community relationships and procedural fairness in the development of wind power. Random effects models indicate that landowners are more accepting of wind power if such projects include local or cooperative ownership, compensation payments to neighboring landowners, and community involvement in the development process. Results suggest that perceived injustices could be lessened if fairness considerations extended beyond monetary gain.
