De-identified transcripts from ethnographic fieldwork at two enhanced geothermal system sites provide insights into stakeholder perceptions. Catherine Lambert collected this data through semi-structured interviews with geothermal experts and community members in Ithaca, NY, USA, and Redruth, UK. The dataset captures feelings towards deep geothermal projects, visions of energy futures, and intersections with place attachment.
Use Cases
- Analyze stakeholder perceptions of geothermal energy based on interview transcripts.
- Compare community and expert narratives about energy futures across two distinct geographic sites.
- Study the relationship between place attachment and technology acceptance based on ethnographic memos.
Strengths
- Data includes interviews from two distinct case study locations: Ithaca, NY (approx. 30,000 people) and Redruth, UK (town of 15,453).
- Interviews were conducted with two defined stakeholder groups: geothermal experts and community members.
Limitations
- Metadata completeness is limited; column-level documentation is absent.
- In the US case, some community stakeholder interviews and focus groups did not include consent for data sharing.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
