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

Öz

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.
