“…In this paper, what we investigated falls into the category of 'community acceptance', which refers to the specific acceptance of local stakeholders, particularly local residents, on certain projects. Considering we studied the acceptance of a proposed policy by local residents, rather than on an already approved project, the dependent variable is called "public preference toward congestion charge policy" following the work done by Dermont et al [26]. However, all the smog control and traffic control studies we have cited use "public acceptance" as their chosen term.…”

“…Batel et al [24] distinguished between the concepts of acceptance and support, stating that communities and individuals might accept energy technologies while not necessarily supporting them, and may not even know of their nearby existence. Wüstenhagen et al [25] and Dermont et al [26] clarified three dimensions of social acceptance, namely socio-political, community, and market acceptance. In this paper, what we investigated falls into the category of 'community acceptance', which refers to the specific acceptance of local stakeholders, particularly local residents, on certain projects.…”

“…If they do not correspond then a policy proposal has significantly lower chances of being implemented. The beliefs of the public concerning the promotion of hydroelectricity can be evaluated based on their acceptance for hydroelectricity in general and through the public's acceptance of promotional instruments (Dermont et al, ; Sabatier, ). Recent survey data among Swiss residents shows that the acceptance of hydroelectricity (small‐ and large‐scale projects) and its promotion is unanimously high and that there is hardly any variance between the cantons (85–95% approval).…”

“…Even though hydroelectricity is already well established, it also faces multiple challenges: the conflict between hydroelectric power production on one side and landscape and environmental protection on the other has intensified (Abazaj, Moen, & Ruud, ; Wolsink, ), and new technologies become more and more relevant (Fouquet, ; Gaudard & Romerio, ). Additional factors such as the public acceptance of infrastructure projects or the economic profitability hinder a quick expansion of hydroelectric energy (Dermont, Ingold, Kammermann, & Stadelmann‐Steffen, ; Wüstenhagen, Wolsink, & Bürer, ). In order to overcome such issues, governments use policy instruments to promote hydroelectricity (Lodge & Wegrich, ).…”

“…Nevertheless, they do begin to shed light on our discussion and on answers to the questions we posed previously. These refer to how energy policies and their materialization might create and reinforce intergroup tensions and specific dynamics, and points to future research directions that are important to follow up in examining people's relations with energy and specifically the social acceptance of RET (Wüstenhagen et al, 2007;Dermont et al, 2017). These directions include the following:…”
