“…Specifically, neither #windenergy nor #solarenergy showed any relationships between the place mentions and the sentiments that were used in the texts and captions. This is somewhat surprising, since wind energy is often criticized by local opponents for its negative impact on the surrounding landscape (e.g., [54]). On the basis of this finding, one could assume negative emotions in posts that mention smaller places, especially when using a medium that focuses heavily on visuals, such as Instagram.…”

The research on people–place relations makes an important contribution to the understanding of the public responses to renewable energy technologies (RETs). Social media not only provides easy access to the sentiments and attitudes of online users towards RETs, but social media content can also shape the discourse, both on- and offline, about RETs. Hence, social media content analysis provides valuable insights into the public responses to RETs. However, as of now, only a small number of studies have investigated people–place relations in the context of the energy transition via online content. To address this lack of knowledge, this study aims to increase the understanding of people–place relations by investigating the relationship between the place scales mentioined in Instagram posts (categorized from local to planet) and the sentiments that are expressed in said posts, depending on different energy infrastructures (solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, powerlines, and renewable energy in general). Our analysis of 1500 Instagram posts shows that the place scales that are mentioned in the Instagram posts are related to some differences in the post emotionality, and that these effects differ across the different hashtags that are related to RETs. By using a sociocognitive approach, this study is the first to investigate Instagram posts in the context of the energy transition and people–place relationships.

“…This study makes an initial approach to the topic with a mixed methods approach, including content analysis and social media analytics. The integration of different analysis complements and explains each study's undiscovered findings caused by a weighted focus on either subjective opinions or representative statistical results (Ivankova et al, 2006;Mordue et al, 2020). From a practical perspective, the findings on the unique roles wellness attributes play in customer satisfaction and dissatisfaction can guide hotel operators to build effective strategies using wellness attributes.…”

Purpose This paper aims to explore the underlying structure of wellness in upper-upscale and luxury hotels and the roles wellness attributes play in customer satisfaction and dissatisfaction. Design/methodology/approach This study uses a mixed methods approach consisting of content analysis and social media analytics. In Study 1, the authors integrate and review the structure of wellness attributes by conducting a literature review on prior research on wellness and analyzing websites of upper-upscale and luxury hotels. In Study 2, the authors implement text analytics and regression analysis to determine the roles of wellness attributes in customer satisfaction and dissatisfaction by examining the final data gathered from 141,973 reviews of 226 upper-upscale and luxury hotels in NYC. Findings This research introduces the underlying structure of wellness in the upper-upscale and luxury hotels. Findings demonstrate a significant relationship between wellness attributes and customer satisfaction/dissatisfaction. This study shows each wellness attribute’s specific roles in customer satisfaction and dissatisfaction through the Kano model. Research limitations/implications The current study extends the research on wellness by discovering the underlying structure of wellness in the upper-upscale and luxury hotels. Based on the Kano Model, the study reveals specific roles of wellness attributes regarding their dichotomous impact on customer satisfaction and dissatisfaction. The study makes a novel approach to the topic of wellness through a mixed methods approach consisted of content analysis and social media analytics. Analyzing online customer reviews derived from TripAdvisor.com, the study provides an in-depth insight and understanding of customers’ perceptions of wellness attributes. Practical implications The study guides hotel operators to perform wellness attributes by defining the unique roles of wellness attributes in customer satisfaction and dissatisfaction. Using the findings of the current study, hotel operators can prioritize wellness attributes regarding their core strategies and provide satisfying wellness attributes to customers. Originality/value Prior research merely focuses on hotels in wellness destinations or wellness-focused hotels with a lack of research on wellness offered in the general lodging industry. This research fills the gap by discovering the underlying wellness structure embedded in the general lodging industry, specifically in the upper-upscale and luxury hotels.

“…Prospects are further compounded by the government's stance towards onshore wind planning [49], which remains hostile and unambitious compared to offshore wind targets. In 2016, the Conservative Party withdrew public subsidies for onshore wind and granted decision-making powers to local communities, which resulted in an effective moratorium [203,204]. Although the British Energy Security Strategy boosted the offshore wind target from 40 GW to 50 GW by 2030, onshore wind policy failed to "introduce wholesale changes to current planning regulations," thereby extending the status quo by leaving "local communities in control" [49].…”
