Agenda for this Talk
• Introduction to GIS and Survey Research
• Energy Development and Proximity
• Methods at the Micro Level
• Results
• Challenges and Opportunities
• Discussion for future application
Intro. To GIS and Survey Research
• Location data is always used to identify survey sample and analyze survey results
• Typically nominal, sometimes ordinal, while GIS offers ability to gather location-specific, interval data
• “Holy Grail” of Survey Data?

• “Holy Grail” of Survey Data?
Intro. To GIS and Survey Research
• However location data itself is usually not interesting or helpful.
• Location is often a proxy for other variables
Intro. To GIS and Survey Research
Location Data = What it Really Means
Countries, Regions Political, Cultural
Neighborhood Income, Age, Race, Ethnicity
Town or County Political, Income, etc.
Geo-points ????
Intro. To GIS and Survey Research
• Survey Representativeness is typically
measured by demographics, not geography

– …Universally Panned by Academics….
– Devine-Wright (2009:431) is it:
• a belief or an attitude?
• a behavioral response?
• a collective action?
– Wolsnik and Devilee (2009:219): used without “any adequate investigation of the motives of the opponent”

NIMBY (Not in My Back Yard)
• What is “a backyard”?
•Proximity –How far away is too far?
–How precise should measurement be?
•Place-Based –Psychological Proximity (temporal)?
–Psychological Regionality?
–Psychological Attachment?”

Other ways to Understand Perception
• Environmental Attitudes – Global Env. Attitudes = Local Support
– Local Env. Attitudes = Local Opposition (Groothuis, et al., 2007:1545; see also Michaud et al, 2008; van der Horst, 2007)
• Fairness of Regulation and Sitting Process (Gross, 2007; Sjoberg and Drottz-Sjoberg, 2001; McComas et al, 2010)
• Perception of Economic Gain (Groothuis, Houtven, and Whitehead, 1998; McComas et al, 2010)
(Untested Conventional Wisdom in Wind And Gas?)

• Mail Survey of 1800 Landowners in Spring 2011
– 8,000 Property Tax Records
• Contain Current Mailing Address
• Detailed Land Data, size, price, year purchased, usage, structures
• Polygon of Property Outline
– 16km from Nearest Wind Turbine, focus on 3km
– Multiple Mailings
– 58% Response Rate - N = 1051

Distance to Nearest Wind Turbine
Would you say construction of the Wind Farm has made the area better off or worse off than it was 5 years ago?
MuchWorseorWorse
MuchBetterorBetter
Wind proximity has weak effect
r = .100** 33
Environmentalists dislike wind…
r = -.139*** 34
…and dislike gas much more….
r = -.527** 35
For lots more results, see:
• Jacquet, Jeffrey. B. (2012) "Landowner attitudes toward natural gas and wind farm development in northern Pennsylvania." Energy Policy, 50: 677-688

Advantages
• Richness of Data:
– Specific Geographical Measurement
– Depth of property data
– Current, Complete, population sample
• Richness of Display
• Location Data for survey design and analysis
• Data Display as a new method of analysis
37
Challenges
• Survey Anonymity
– In small scale contexts, you can’t show anyone!
• Representativeness
– Its geography, not demographics
– Multiple addresses, non-landowners omitted
• Data Availability
– Many property records are not still not geocoded
– Rural mailing addresses are not geo-accurate
– Data compatibility
38
Challenges
• Is precise location even needed or useful in survey research?
– Is this even how you measure proximity?
• Need to think creatively about mapping display, anonymity, and uses for this data
