Perception of the nuclear power plant of Temelín by local population in two time horizons (1993/2003)
Těšitel, Jan ; Kušová, Drahomíra ; Bartoš, Michael
Nuclear power plant of Temelín is a phenomenon influencing almost all aspects of life of local population. The article is based on comparison of selected results gained within two sociological surveys, one conducted in the year of 1993 and the other in 2003. Relation of local population to the nuclear power plant was one of key issues addressed in both surveys. Perception of the nuclear power plant proved to have changed over time. The shift can be named äfrom danger to anxiety'. The main factor keeping population anxious about nuclear power plant seem to be a fact that the plant is visible from everywhere, representing thus ävisual contamination of environment' of some kind.
