“…Menettelyn on katsottu nopeuttavan hankkeen toteutusta ja säästävän kustannuksia. Hankeosapuolten kiinnostus asiaan on johtanut myös tutkijat erittelemään tarkemmin sosiaalista toimilupaa, sitä mitä sillä tarkoitetaan, sen luonnetta sosiaalisena sopimuksena, kriteereitä ja vahvuusasteita sekä mahdollisuuksia arvioida sosiaalisen toimiluvan voimassaoloa hankkeen kestäessä (käsitteestä Bice & Moffat 2014;Boutilier 2014;Hall ym. 2015;Litmanen ym.…”

“…Yleisemmin sosiaalisella toimiluvalla tarkoitetaan hankkeen aikana alati katkolla olevaa paikallisyhteisön hyväksyntää hankkeelle, mikä voi myös vaikuttaa hankkeen kannattavuuteen (Bice & Moffat 2014). Sosiaalisen toimiluvan käsitettä on alettu käyttää myös paikallista laajemmissa, kuten alueellisissa ja kansallisissa yhteyksissä (Hall ym.…”

Turvetuotannon sosiaalisen toimiluvan menetys Saarijärven reitilläThe loss of the social license for peat harvesting in the Saarijärvi waterway Following the 1970s oil crisis the search for alternative energy sources intensified in Finland. As a result, peat harvesting from peat bogs was launched programmatically. This included peat bogs around the Saarijärvi waterway in central Finland, consisting today of about 50 peat harvesting sites. As in a number of cases, these peat harvesting operations are opposed by the local residents, who insist that peat harvesting is spoiling the waters, and thus damaging recreational activities like fishing, swimming, and the enjoyment of nature. The aim of our study was to investigate the situation in greater detail by eliciting local residents' experiences. In the fall of 2015 a questionnaire was sent to the residents of four municipalities in the area, producing 478 responses, a response rate of 23.9 per cent, which represents the local population fairly well. Peat harvesting was reportedly the most harmful source of water pollution. The results were analyzed using the concept of social license to operate. A generalization can be made that peat production in the district has largely lost local residents' approval.

“…Therefore, obtaining a social licence to operate at the initial stages of operation, attaining political harmony and social cohesion during operations in conflict-related regions, or social compensation to those environmentally impacted have often been resolved through LC requirements [10]. For instance, although it is not entirely clear what the requirements for this social licence may be, in Australia a social licence to operate has become part and parcel of successful business practice [38,39] and this has been achieved through LC instruments. Secondly, LC has been employed to resolve armed conflict and achieve a peaceful co-existence among communities, as well as limit conflict reoccurrence [9,40].…”

Abstract:Regulatory interventions, such as Local Content (LC) requirements, have been incorporated to counter market forces to maximise petroleum revenues. This has been undertaken with the hypothesis that the governments of petroleum-producing countries depend heavily on petroleum sectors for development, yet energy markets inadequately allocate these resources. Thus, governments revise existing, and often out-of-date, petroleum laws and introduce new petroleum legislation to specifically promote socio-economic objectives. This article explores the key legislative instruments of LC as developed and implemented in the oil and gas sectors both from developed and developing countries' perspectives. In assessing the overall policy approach, this article evaluates instruments used to secure Local Content requirements in the oil and gas industry. In conclusion, governments must identify appropriate frameworks that consider the political and regulatory challenge of striking a balance between incentivising upstream investors and fulfilling national interests, such as creating jobs.

“…In the case of a vacuum created by a lack of formal governance intervention at the regional scale there is a propensity of private sector institutions to engage directly with regional communities to maintain a 'social licence' based on informal acceptance of extractive industry development by affected communities and residents (Morrison et al, 2012;Bice and Moffat, 2014). To be effective at managing these impacts beyond the public relations needs of private companies, the key to legitimacy in this context is a process involving tripartite dialogue between local governments who experience the impacts, state/provincial governments who are formally responsible and financially resourced for managing impacts and investing in infrastructure, and private companies who create the impacts and may have additional financial resources and a shared interest in addressing them (Söderholm and Svahn, 2015).…”

As global energy demand increases, the rapid expansion of the unconventional fossil fuel sector has triggered an urgent need for social, economic and policy research to understand and predict how this sector affects host communities and how governance systems can respond to changes presented by this sector. In response to this need, this paper addresses three linked objectives. The first is to review the literature on regional impacts of energy extraction, presented in the form of a framework of hierarchical effects. The second is to consider how these are playing out differently in the context of conventional compared with unconventional fossil fuels. The third is to draw attention to the institutional avenues for addressing these impacts, including an overview of the lessons from existing research on the human and policy dimensions associated with conventional energy industries. In particular, we consider the importance of multistakeholder dialogue, which plays an important role in how regions respond to the challenges brought about through extractive industries. Overall, we demonstrate that experiences from conventional energy development provide a useful starting point for navigating the human and policy dimensions of unconventional energy for host communities and discuss how these experiences differ when unconventional energy seeks to co-exist with other land uses such as agriculture. The paper draws attention to the dispersed nature of impacts (positive and negative) and how this may shape winners and losers from unconventional energy development, particularly in regions with pre-existing land uses such as agriculture.
