“…In the same vein, social conflict over RET -at local, national, and global levels -will also be more acknowledged and examined not as a problem, but as participation [59,84], with the challenge being on how to devise ways to transform those conflicts -or agreeing to disagree [93] -, into practices, policies and regulations that give voice and reflect everyone interested and affected [94]. Finally, with new methodological and associated theoretical and ideological proposals based on a more critical perspective, we can also envision -and hope -that new data collection methods such as ethnography, diaries, life-history interviews and social media analysis will be increasingly used (for some insightful examples see [95,96,97].…”

in 2007 [1] formalized what is still nowadays generally called the field of research on the social acceptance of renewable energy innovation or renewable energy technologies (RET). Twelve years later, we can say that this paper and associated proposal has been a landmark for research on this area, not only because it helped formalize it as a standalone field of research (see also [2,3]), but because it simultaneously provided a systematization of past research -the need to overcome the NIMBY (Not in my backyard) explanation for local opposition -and an orientation for future of research on the social acceptance of RET -to further examine instead the relation between opposition to RET and several socio-political, market and community factors. As such, it provided a turning point in this area of research from -as I will refer to it in this paper -the first to the second wave of research on the social acceptance or RET, or, as based on the proposal of Labussière and Nadaï [4], from normative to criticism approaches. In order to better understand this change, it is relevant to briefly go back to the 1980s and to research, within the risk perception tradition [5; see also 6], on people's responses to hazardous facilities, including several related to energy, such as nuclear power plants.As pointed out by Freudenburg and Pastor [5], much research up until that point would explain public opposition to hazardous facilities and technologies as NIMBY, a syndrome or phenomenon that summarized the idea that people were only opposing those facilities due to them being built in their backyard and thus based only on selfishness (not considering the greater good), ignorance (not being able to understand the need for the construction of such facilities) and irrationality (reacting emotionally) (for more detailed reviews on the origins of NIMBY, see

“…However, landscape refers to detached visual appreciation of landforms; landscapes are not “lived‐in” (Cresswell ; Mitchell ). In this direction, Allen and Jones () offer a different approach noting that during their interviews wind‐turbine opponents tended to see landscapes as “visual backdrop”, whereas supporters had a “visceral multi‐sense engagement” with landscapes (Allen and Jones, 218). Provocative observations have been raised by Phadke () and Woods () about how disputes over wind turbines aggravate social class divisions between those that see rural areas as landscape and those that see it as a place of production.…”

As global production of energy from renewable sources has grown over the last 25 years, so too has research on social acceptance of renewable energy. This article reports findings from a systematic review of peer-reviewed articles related to this subject. There has been a rapid increase in the frequency of these studies and a shift in orientation away from market and socio-political measures of securing policy support for renewables toward a sympathetic reporting of community opposition to wind turbines. Well-developed conceptual and empirical critiques of the "Not-in-My-Backyard" concept have emerged on the basis of Western European case studies, notably from the UK. Drawing from experiences across the globe with varied sizes and types of new energy infrastructure researchers have documented complex social responses that go beyond simplistic designations of opponent or supporter. Geographical concepts including place, landscape, distance decay, territory, and others have been gainfully employed in this interdisciplinary literature, and there is ample opportunity for greater contributions from the discipline to this area of growing popular and academic interest.
