In Greece, many islands and mountains are being developed as industrial mega-wind farms. This creates conflicts, especially when the projects are sited in protected areas and areas of outstanding aesthetic value or tourism interests. So I am interested in how to track this in Greece. Please can anyone help?
Hello Vassiliki. there are ex-ante studies that have been performed in the Netherlands, Denmark and UK that took into consideration possible perceptions of residents towards the construction of wind farms. It depends on the study what method has been used to assess residents' perceptions.
Kind regards,

Furthermore, there are also examples that wind farms are used for tourism purposes in some locations.

You could run a field survey using stated preferences methods and assess the trade offs or run a meta-analysis of similar studies in similar locations. I can give you more detailed feedback on these if you are interested.
