Nükleer Enerjinin Sosyal Kabulüne Yönelik Bir İnceleme: Üniversite Öğrencileri Üzerine Bir Alan Çalışması

Abstract

Bu çalışmada nükleer enerjinin kabulü ile ilgili faktörler ve genç kuşakların nükleer enerjiye olan duyarlılıkları arasındaki nedensel ilişkiler yapısal eşitlik modeli ile incelenmiştir. Kütahya Dumlupınar Üniversitesi fakültelerinde öğrenim görmekte olan 521 öğrenciye uygulanan anketin verileri analiz edilmiştir. Öğrencilere enerji arzının algılanan faydaları, algılanan çevresel faydalar, risk algısı, güven ve kabul gizil değişkenleri ile ilgili sorular sorulmuştur. Nükleer enerji kabul düzeyi üzerinde risk algısının istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ve negatif etkisi saptanmış, modeldeki diğer gizil değişkenlerin kabul düzeyine etkisinin istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ve pozitif olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

An Investigation on The Social Acceptance of Nuclear Energy: A Case Study on University Students

Abstract

In this study, the causal relationships between the factors related to nuclear energy acceptance and the sensitivity of young generations to nuclear energy are examined with structural equation model. The data obtained by the questionnaire applied to 521 students studying at the faculties of the Kütahya Dumlupınar University were analyzed. The students were asked the questions related to the latent variables which are perceived benefits of energy supply, perceived environmental benefits, risk perception, trust and acceptance. While risk perception has a statistically significant and negative effect on acceptance, the effects of other latent variables in the model have found to be positive.
