abstract: This article presents an overview of recent work in social impact assessment (SIA), applied on a case study carried out on the planned wind farm ‘Drentse Monden’, the Netherlands. The aim of this case study is to gain more insight into planning process of large-scale wind farms, specifically into the role SIA in this process, how community resistance arises and how it interacts with government policy. This research established a link between decreasing community resistance over distance to the planned intervention and the interdependent relationship between negative stances towards the planned intervention and negative stances to wind energy and sustainable energy overall. The locality of planned interventions, especially when concerning interventions which have major distance-related social impacts, ‘triggers’ community resistance in local people whom already have negative stances toward wind energy and sustainability. In decreasing the locality, the distance, the ‘trigger-effect’ diminishes and community resistance levels fall.
