| Description | Wind power plants have become a subject of controversy in the public and among professionals in the Czech Republic. From the viewpoint of physical planning and that of the execution of related projects, the question of the social acceptance of wind parks is crucial; not only for the residents of affected locations (community acceptance) but also for their representatives at local and regional levels (political acceptance). Today, one of the main arguments against the construction of more wind parks (besides that about the potential impact on landscape characteristics) is the worry about the negative infl uence upon tourism. The aim of the article is to analyse, evaluate, and empirically verify the potential infl uence of the construction of wind power plants on tourism, as based on the example of the immediate surroundings of the Slezská Harta dam and the adjacent holiday area. |
