“…The ocean commons is full of activity, supporting wildlife as well as human endeavors and needs such as transportation, fishing, energy production, and solitude (Russell et al, 2020). In this sphere, fishers should neither be privileged nor marginalized.…”

“…Focusing solely on economic opportunities and costs, however, limits understanding of fishers as individuals who ascribe meaning to their time at sea (Russell et al, 2020) and their identification as members of occupational and place-based communities on land and at sea. Studies in the UK document concerns about trade-offs for local communities where fisheries are strongly embedded in the local economy, including potential loss of skills, heritage, and ways of life due to OWPs (Brookfield et al, 2005;Gray et al, 2005;Mackinson et al, 2006;Reilly et al, 2015).…”

“…In each case, positive emotions may be as likely to be instrumental in perception, and hence opinion regarding a project, as negative emotions (Hubner et al, 2019), although the latter concept is more developed in the literature. As a result, the priming of positive emotions through community co-development that focuses on fair process and outcome (Baxter et al, 2020;Sperling, 2017) and the emotional hooks of making progress toward a clean energy future may serve as positive emotional appeals (Bates & Firestone, 2015;Firestone & Kempton, 2007;Russell et al, 2020)…”

The affective sciences are essential to research regarding sustainable transition towards renewable energy. We focus on important questions that should be addressed by affective science in relation to the siting of large-scale renewable energy projects like wind and solar. Considering the recent acceleration of the transition, a more holistic understanding of negative and positive emotional responses to energy development will be essential. This is particularly important as the least controversial sites begin to dwindle in number. We break this commentary down into four primary question categories for future research. These are the causal relationships between emotional elicitations and their sources, dual processing through cognitive and affective response, affect and its relationship with place, and how all of these elements change over time.

“…Besides, and under other similar research, it is possible to carry this a step further by finding the levels of acceptance of these farms by the locals and policy-makers. Since there is a lot of impact on the landscape character and place memory in the minds of locals, they often have varied opinions towards landscape change [100,103]. Therefore, consultation with the locals is also important to consider.…”

Wind-farm planning optimization is important for decision-making concerning regional energy planning in developing countries. This process is governed by restrictions on site selection based on land suitability metric variables, wind turbine technology variables, and land-use governing criteria. This study aims to create a framework for land appropriation strategies for locating optimum sites suitable for wind farms. It is using Jordan as an Area of Interest (AOI), where the scope is to illustrate how this framework will employ wind turbine energy to positively enhance the national Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The methodology employs thirteen GIS thematic layers with a 250-m spatial resolution to substantiate how site-specific criteria, turbine type, and turbine hub height variables are determining factors in the optimal solution. This method involves selecting relevant factors, database construction, data layer generation and preparation, numerical ranking and weighting of each factor, and computation of the potential wind farm locations map by overlaying all the thematic GIS layers. The results showed that the establishment of wind farms would not only meet the AOI’s growing energy needs, rather exceed them to generating income for the developing nation. The results of the feasibility study will boost the national GDP by 3.4%; where, for example, one governorate alone could produce 274.3% of the total required national consumption at a turbine hub height of 50 m. The study attests to a valuable framework that can be implemented elsewhere to establish regional power sustainability and feasibility for other nations. The results show that an added land-use layer indicating the potential value of land in terms of its suitability for establishing wind farms should be considered in future sustainable regional planning studies when considering networks for smart cities, industrial cities, smart agriculture, and new agglomerations.
