- Abstract
- This paper presents the preliminary results of a
cultural and social acceptability assessment of
geothermal energy exploitation in southern Italy; this
research was carried out in the frame of the national
project 'VIGOR' led by CNR (Italian National
Research Council) and the Italian Ministry of
Economic Development to investigate the potentials
of geothermal energy exploitation in southern Italy.
The research was designed asa case study and carried
out in the province of Palermo, Sicily, where CNR has
conducted geological prospecting in order to establish
the geothermal potential in the area of Termini
Imerese.
The area of Termini Imerese was selected as case
study as a step towards designing approaches for
\"upstream\" public engagement, i.e. engaging citizens
in the early steps of eventual technology developments
that impact their daily life.
The case study has two basic components: (1) Focus
Groups were conducted with four different groups of
citizens and stakeholders from the selected area; (2) a
Survey with a sample of 400 citizens calibrated by
gender, age, education and residence was carried out
in the province of Palermo.
Energy issues are clearly perceived as very politicized
at the moment and major concerns rise from lack of
confidence towards politicians, energy companies and
institutions in general, to adequately manage
innovation processes in the energy sector in general.
Our tentative conclusions are that there is considerable
openness and interest in geothermal power but there is
still quite a lot of work on societal dialogue to be done
to accommodate public concerns, reduce uncertainties
and set the eventual development of geothermal
energy exploitation on a socially and culturally
sustainable path. (literal)
