Abstract

This research focuses on the question of how geothermal energy public perception is formed within a national context where news media do not pay attention to geothermal energy, and there is no active opposition to geothermal energy. The research builds on theoretical underpinnings of heuristics in energy perceptions and highlights the importance of physical experiences and associations as sources of experiential learning. Through a survey conducted among members of the general public in Slovenia, the role of thermal water recreation in shaping public perception of geothermal energy is empirically tested. The results show that, in this context, geothermal energy is highly positively assessed compared to hydro energy and nuclear energy, and that there is a correlation between frequency of thermal recreation and certain aspects of public perception of geothermal energy. The policy implications go beyond the simple recommendation of including tourism in public awareness campaigns but point to the specific vulnerability of energy acceptance in this context, where perceptions are formed based on “thinking fast”, and where the media and the public discourse on geothermal energy have not (yet) considered the potential risks and opposition to geothermal projects.

作为地热公众认知启发式方法的经验:测试热水域娱乐与地热能认知之间的相关性
这项研究的重点是,在新闻媒体不关注地热能源,也没有积极反对地热能源的国家背景下,地热能源的公众认知是如何形成的。这项研究建立在能源认知启发式的理论基础之上,并强调了实际体验和联想作为经验学习来源的重要性。通过对斯洛文尼亚公众进行调查,对热水娱乐在塑造公众对地热能源的认知方面所起的作用进行了实证检验。结果表明,在这种情况下,与水能和核能相比,地热能得到了高度积极的评价,而且热能娱乐的频率与公众对地热能某些方面的看法存在相关性。对政策的影响不仅仅是建议将旅游业纳入公众宣传活动,而是指出了在这种情况下接受能源的特殊脆弱性,因为人们的观念是在 "快速思考 "的基础上形成的,媒体和公众对地热能源的讨论(尚未)考虑到地热项目的潜在风险和反对意见。

期刊介绍: Geothermics is an international journal devoted to the research and development of geothermal energy. The International Board of Editors of Geothermics, which comprises specialists in the various aspects of geothermal resources, exploration and development, guarantees the balanced, comprehensive view of scientific and technological developments in this promising energy field. It promulgates the state of the art and science of geothermal energy, its exploration and exploitation through a regular exchange of information from all parts of the world. The journal publishes articles dealing with the theory, exploration techniques and all aspects of the utilization of geothermal resources. Geothermics serves as the scientific house, or exchange medium, through which the growing community of geothermal specialists can provide and receive information.
