Akzeptanz des Ausbaus der erneuerbaren Energien in Deutschland unter Berücksichtigung von Raumdaten und Gerechtigkeitsaspekten

Abstract

In the vast literature on social acceptance of renewable energies, examining the effect of proximity and other spatial information is an important aspect amongst others. Here, we give an overview of this field of research based on 21 journal articles published between 2005 and 2018. Therefore, spatial information, which is integrated into the quantitative analysis of social acceptance, is categorized in two levels of measurement: self-reported exposure and objective measurement of exposure. Proximity and other spatial variables show mixed effects on social acceptance. The use of self-reported exposure clearly dominates in the reviewed studies.However, technical capabilities of geographical information systems (GIS) enable the integration of objective spatial information into the analysis. Future research should put more focus on these tools.
