Research suggests that previous, current, and prospective extractive industry activities influence perceptions of new development. Studies have drawn this conclusion, however, usually focused on specific projects in communities. Here, these factors are examined an aggregate, national scale. Combining geospatial data survey from a nationally representative sample (N = 1061), the support for fracking is studied. While limited evidence found impact proximity to oil gas wells or production...
Understanding how the COVID-19 pandemic has altered electricity consumption can provide insights into society's responses to future shocks and other extreme events. We quantify changes in 58 different countries/regions around world from January-October 2020 examine those relate government restrictions, health outcomes, GDP, mobility metrics, sector characteristics countries. cluster timeseries of identify impact groupings that capture systematic differences timing, depth initial changes,...
Urban green spaces are recognized as essential elements of cities. They offer multiple benefits, including mitigating the urban heat island effect and its negative impact on public health. also present opportunities for people to interact, recreate, connect with nature. To explore attitudes towards spaces, we surveyed 2253 German adults after hot summer 2022 identify their preferences, frequency use, perceived benefits spaces. We were particularly interested in perceptions views an...
With the rapid growth of unconventional oil and natural gas development transforming U.S. economic physical landscape, social scientists have increasingly explored spatial dynamics public support for this issue—that is, whether people closer to are more supportive or opposed. While theoretical frameworks like construal-level theory "Not in My Backyard" (or NIMBY) moniker provide insight into these dynamics, case studies specific locations experiencing energy reveal substantial variation...

Abstract Wildfires are having disproportionate impacts on U.S. households. Notably, in California, over half of wildfire-destroyed homes (54%) low-income areas. We investigate the relationship between social vulnerability and wildfire community preparedness using building permits from 16 counties California with 2.9 million buildings (2013–2021) government’s designation disadvantaged communities (DACs), which classifies a census tract as DAC if it meets threshold for certain burdens, such...
Extreme weather events are expected to increase in frequency and severity due climate change. However, we lack an understanding of how recent extreme have impacted the U.S. population. We surveyed a representative sample public (n = 1071) September 2021 about self-reported impacts they experienced from six types within past three years. find that overwhelming majority (86%) reported being at least slightly by event, one-third (34%) either very or extremely one more events. clustered...
Abstract Much research exists on how social-psychological factors (e.g. political ideology), proximity to development, and contextual state in which one resides) drive public attitudes toward various types of energy development. Yet, scholars have only recently begun explore these interact create unique geographies perception that defy the simplistic explanations suggested by not-in-my-backyard or yes-in-my-backyard labels. Using precisely geocoded well survey data, we interplay ideology,...
Oregon Ballot Measure 97 was a contentious measure on the 2016 ballot that sought to raise taxes corporations with sales over 25 million dollars within state of Oregon. Predictably, there considerable amount lobbying targeting elites and expansive campaigns public intending promote or block measure. Theoretically, this research applies Narrative Policy Framework describe these communications in terms active narratives discourse, assess their effect general election outcome. Methodologically,...
Extreme weather events are increasing in frequency and severity owing to climate change. Individual‐level behavioural responses—notably, disaster preparedness community helping actions (such as donating volunteering)—supplement government efforts respond such phenomena, but rarely have they been explored together. Using data from a survey administered soon after the 2020 Oregon wildfires, this paper compares range of socio‐demographic, experiential, attitudinal, communication‐related factors...
Recent growth in unconventional oil and gas development is controversial, fueling an ongoing U.S. policy debate. Central to these discussions hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” a well‐stimulation technique that has become synonymous with extraction methods. This research applies the Narrative Policy Framework (NPF) explore how culturally nuanced narratives shape individuals' preferences toward fracking regulations. A census‐balanced internet panel from Oregon Arkansas ( n = 1,145) used...
