Behavioral Interventions Methodology

The overall objective of the WENDY project is to increase social acceptability of wind energy at the community level, by triggering a change in societal perception towards onshore and offshore wind energy projects. To this end, Project WENDY aims to study the factors underlying social acceptance through an in-depth analysis at three dimensions: social sciences, environmental sciences, and technological engineering. The deliverable 5.3 has been developed under task 5.2, Work Package 5 (WP5) of the WENDY project and builds on the insights generated in WP2 and WP4. WP5 adopts a hands-on approach and through task 5.2 aims to test and validate selected behavioral solutions to enhance social acceptance attitude and behavior. This report relies on behavioral science methods and presents the research methodology and the outcomes of the implemented interventions.
