Visual preferences for wind turbines: location, numbers and respondent characteristics
Original language description
Our study aims to objectify the visual impact of wind turbines and to establish the factors that determine how people evaluate these structures. We found that the physical attributes of the landscape and wind turbines influenced the respondents? reactions far more than socio-demographic and attitudinal factors. One of the most important results of our study is the sensitivity of respondents to the placement of wind turbines in landscapes of high aesthetic quality, and, on the other hand, a relatively high level of acceptance of these structures in unattractive landscapes. Wind turbines also receive better acceptance if the number of turbines in a landscape is limited, and if the structures are kept away from observation points. On the basis of these results, recommendations are presented for placing wind turbines and for protecting the character of the landscape within the planning and policy making processes.
