Abstract

<p>The purpose of this study is to investigate the psychological and social factors that determine the public acceptance of small wind turbines (SWT), using a game as a new survey method. In this research, we employed a game called the Settoku Nattoku Game (SNG) (persuasion-acceptance game) as a survey tool. The game’s participants came up with the ways of introducing SWT that were, in their opinion, most acceptable for the community, and negotiated with other participants in an attempt to persuade them to accept their ideas. The study analyzed what people expect the SWT to be like, as well as the viewpoints for and against SWT introduction, based on the characteristics of the turbine introduction idea that won in the negotiating stage. The results indicated that using SNG can reveal a wide variety of viewpoints in terms of people’s evaluation. In addition, the research found that increasing wind turbines’ benefit to society by adding features that improve daily life is an important factor for public acceptance, and that “social impact” is an indispensable criterion in people’s evaluation of whether or not to accept SWT.</p>
