How to design reliable discrete choice surveys: The use of qualitative research...

Botelho, Anabela; Lourenço-Gomes, Lina; Pinto, Lígia; Sousa, Sara

Comunicação efetuada no "2nd International Conference on Project Evaluation (ICOPEV 2014)", Guimarães, Portugal.; Discrete choice experiments (DCEs) present individuals with choices between scenarios described in terms of attributes and associated levels. Despite its significant potential in the analysis of individual preferences, the application of this method raises some important issues, namely whether the e...

Annoyance and welfare costs from the presence of renewable energy power plants:...

Botelho, Anabela; Pinto, Lígia; Gomes, Lina Lourenço; Valente, Marieta; Sousa, Sara

Sustainability is frequently defined by its three pillars: economically viable, socially equitable, and environmentally bearable. Consequently the evaluation of the sustainability of any decision, public or private, requires information on these three dimensions. This paper focuses on social sustainability. In the context of renewable energy sources, the examination of social sustainability requires the analysi...

Botelho, Anabela; Gomes, Lina Lourenço; Pinto, Lígia; Sousa, Sara; Valente, Marieta

As a renewable energy source, the use of forest biomass for electricity generation is advantageous in comparison with fossil fuels, however the activity of forest biomass power plants causes adverse impacts, affecting particularly neighbouring communities. The main objective of this study is to estimate the effects of the activity of forest biomass power plants on the welfare of two groups of stakeholders, name...

Using choice experiments to assess environmental impacts of dams in Portugal

Botelho, Anabela; Gomes, Lina Lourenço; Pinto, Lígia; Sousa, Patrícia Cristina Cruz; Sousa, Sara; Valente, Marieta

Despite their well-known benefits in electricity production, dams are also responsible for some adverse environmental impacts affecting particularly the wellbeing of residents of the local communities. These environmental damages have not been included in the cost-benefit analysis of hydropower developments mainly because of the difficulty to determine their value. The prime objective of this paper is to measur...

Botelho, Anabela; Lourenço-Gomes, Lina; Pinto, Lígia; Sousa, Sara; Valente, Marieta

Renewable energy sources for electricity generation are unequivocally more environmentally friendly than the traditional sources, but are not impact-free. Given the potential for solar photovoltaic energy to contribute to the energy mix in some countries, it is timely to carefully consider the potential environmental costs of operation of photovoltaic farms, which are experienced by the local population, while ...
