Abstract

Nowadays, due to the climate change, the importance of use renewable sources is increasing, both at small and large scale. Solar, wind or biomass project and design seems to be an opportunity to develop economically and socially. This thesis investigates the ways in which the Renewable Energy Production can be related to the landscape, the environment and the economic, social and cultural development of a territory. An analysis of the generated conflict and environmental assessment tools shows the lack of involvement of population as the reason of the easy manipulation of the public debate on the topic of renewable energies. The study of a specific Sardinian context will help to identify a model to build the most appropriate strategies to build a critical knowledge in the population that makes people protagonist of the sustainable development of its own territory.
