“…Complex processes and the spatial unevenness of transitions can be uncovered by examining geographical aspects of transitions (Coenen & Truffer, ; Coenen et al., ). The need for more geographical consideration within socio‐technical transitions theory can be addressed through combining the resource periphery concept with socio‐technical transitions (Munro, ). Murphy and Smith () summarise the two concepts through a comparative lens (Table ); this shows the complementary aspects of socio‐technical transitions and resource geography approaches.…”

“…The focus on the periphery in transition–periphery dynamics addresses the need for further research on peripheries to balance the focus of past research on cores (Hayter et al., ; Murphy & Smith, ). Resource peripheries are constituted by processes during socio‐technical transitions that are highly complex transition–periphery dynamics (Munro, ). Munro () notes the usefulness of this framework as a critical standpoint for understanding newly formed resource peripheries and the associated socio‐technical transitions.…”

“…A positive aspect of certain types of resource development, such as with renewable energy development in the periphery, is that it can be an income source for communities. This income source has the potential ability to decrease certain disadvantages of peripherality (Munro, ).…”

The geography of socio‐technical transitions: Transition–periphery dynamics

The literature on socio‐technical transitions analyses multi‐scale, nonlinear changes in societal systems, but has tended to ignore the geography of these changes. This paper addresses this gap by focusing on a geographical periphery, rather than on the urban core, and considers a transition–periphery framework to provide a way to conceptualise and examine the dynamics of resource peripheries within a socio‐technical transition. The concepts of socio‐technical transitions and resource peripheries have been connected in previous work examining wind energy projects in Scotland. This study extends that work by refining its framework, explicitly drawing from the concept of peripheralisation as a process, and applying the framework to a wider set of contexts. The focus of peripheralisation is on the processes involved in creating peripheries rather than simply the periphery as a geographic location. This attention to peripheralisation uncovers the multi‐dimensional, relational, and multi‐scalar relationships and processes of the dynamics within resource peripheries during a socio‐technical transition. This paper draws on a set of energy policy case study sites in Scotland, including the North Yell Tidal Scheme, the proposed Shetland interconnector, and the Cruachan and Coire Glas Pumped Hydro schemes. It argues that transition–periphery dynamics are an effective analytical tool for understanding the geographically uneven multi‐scalar dynamics created as socio‐technical transitions occur.

“…Vestas Wind Systems ve Mitsubishi Heavy Industries ortaklığıyla Danimarka Oestrild'de denize kurulan 220 m yüksekliğindeki rüzgar türbini ile günde 216.000 kWh olarak gerçekleşen enerji üretimi, ticari olarak bir rekor kabul edilmektedir (Patel, 2014). 2020 itibariyle %21 yenilenebilir elektrik hedefinin çoğunlukla rüzgar gücünden karşılanması beklenen İngiltere'de büyük ölçekli rüzgar çiftliklerinden biri olan ve DONG, E.ON and Masdar tarafından geliştirilen London Array 630 MW güce sahiptir (Higgins & Foley, 2013;Higgins & Foley, 2014).Yenilenebilir enerji kaynakları kullanımında ilk sıralarda yer alan, kırsal ve sapa bölgelerde kıyı ve kıyıdan uzak açık denizlerde değerlendirilmeye elverişli önemli miktarda rüzgar potansiyeli barındıran İskoçya faal durumda dünyanın ilk yüzen offshore rüzgar çiftliğini de içeren 304 MW gücünde offshore rüzgar kurulu gücüne sahiptir (Munro, 2018;Offshorewind Scotland, 2019). Amerika'da ise bu alanda bir ilk yaşanmış, Enerji Ekonomisi ve Finansal Analiz Enstitüsü ilk kez Nisan 2019'da hidro, biyokütle, rüzgar, güneş ve jeotermalden oluşan yenilenebilir enerji sektöründe üretilen elektriğin, kömür santrallerinde üretilenden fazla kaydedildiği ve Enerji Bilgi İdaresi (EIA) kısa dönem enerji görünümü tarafından yine bu ay açıklanan dataya göre Mayıs 2019'da da aynı durumun sözkonusu olabileceği ifade edilmiştir (Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis, 2019).…”

Güvenlik, toplumsal, iktisadi, siyasal ve çevresel boyutları dikkate alınarak, sürdürülebilir enerjiyi başarmak dünya genelinde ulusal ve uluslararası enerji politikalarının nihai amacı olmuştur. Bu amaca ulaşmak için politika belirleyiciler tüketim, üretim, ithalat, ihracat, yatırım, tasarruf, yasal düzenlemeler, ödemeler dengesi, gelecek tahminleri, inovasyon, araştırma&geliştirme ve beklentiler ile toplumsal/iktisadi/siyasal/çevresel konuları inceleyerek; enerji kaynaklarının gelecek senaryoları ve stratejik planlama içindeki paylarına odaklanmaktadırlar. Nasıl etkin, geçerli ve verimli bir dağılım yapılacağı son derece önemlidir. Rüzgar, güneş, jeotermal, hidroelektrik, gel-git, dalga ve biyokütke yenilenebilir enerji kaynakları olarak sınıflandırılırken; kömür, petrol, doğalgaz ve nükleer enerji yenilenemeyen enerji kaynakları ya da fosil yakıtlar olarak bilinmektedir. Önerilen enerji politikalarının yenilenebilir ve yenilenemeyen enerji kaynaklarının her ikisini de değerlendirirken 4A'yı; kullanılabilirlik, ulaşılabilirlik, karşılanabilirlik ve kabul edilebilirliği göz önünde bulundurması beklenir. Yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarının hızla artan enerji talebini karşılamakta fosil kaynaklara önemli birer alternatif olduklarına genellikle soru işareti ile yaklaşılsa da; dünyadaki son gelişmeler sorulara cevap olarak karşımızda durmaktadır. Son yıllarda teknolojik yenilikler ve araştırma geliştirme faaliyetleri artan enerji talebinin karşılanmasında yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarının özellikle de güneş, rüzgar ve jeotermalin cazibesine dikkat çekmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı dünyada ve Türkiye'de güneş, rüzgar ve jeotermaldeki güncel durumu iktisadi göstergeler, uluslararası gelişmeler ve güncel verilerle değerlendirilmektir.

Every energy generation technology, including hydropower, has its own strengths and shortcomings. We carried out vulnerability assessment (VA) applying a bottom‐up multi‐disciplinary indicator‐based method considering people's perception of five dimensions of a storage type (ST) “national pride” hydropower project–1200 MW Budhi Gandaki Hydropower Project (BGHP) in Nepal. We also examined how ST projects can contribute to sustainable development goals (SDGs) overcoming the vulnerabilities. Primary data on people's perception were collected through focus group discussions and 200 household questionnaire surveys conducted within the most vulnerable areas. People perceived the “Physical” dimension as the most impactful. The local community is optimistic about some infrastructure development, but issues related to compensation, resettlement and physical stressors were found to be very sensitive for the effective implementation of the project. Expectations of the local people and proposed plans by the government are concurrent in some issues but not in all. Our analysis shows that the BGHP has the potential to be multi‐dimensionally beneficial (to eight SDGs) for Nepal, provided that supportive policies are formulated and implemented stringently. Extending the project as multi‐purpose, pumped storage and other improvements such as floatovoltaics are some of the plausible recommendations for harnessing maximum benefits from this important project while minimizing threats. Moreover, the methodological framework can be conveniently replicated for conducting VA of hydropower projects under comparable physical and socio‐economic conditions.
