Özet:As a result of global concerns about energy related environmental problems, the use of renewable energy resources has gained great importance. The renewables are widely recognized as an effective tool for limiting energy related emissions and a fundamental component of sustainable development. Among these, especially wind energy has considerable involvement. Due to this, major national policies intend to support wind energy and wind energy installations have also started to grow with an expanding rate. Likewise in Turkey, wind energy policies have gained importance as wind emerges as a favourable domestic resource which gives the opportunity to Turkey for providing energy for its developing country. Therefore, the investments supported by national government started to increase and installations started to spread around certain cities mainly choosing location from rural areas. In this sense, Karaburun appears as one of the important targets of large-scale wind energy investments. However, the expansion of wind energy has launched a major controversy on wind energy and its implementation. Even though the developments are environmentally friendly, they started to intrude into unspoiled natural and rural areas. So, rapidly expanding developments have attracted some segments of the local community and leads to strong oppositions. As a result, a debate started to grow between people who think differently about the issue and leads to a conflictual situation about wind power. As wind energy is an important energy resource, wind farm conflict becomes an important problem waiting to be solved. Understanding the nature of conflicts by assessing the problem in terms of both technical and social aspects can contribute to the solution by enabling selection of most effective ways for conflict resolution. The purpose of this thesis is to understand the reasons of support and opposition more deeply, therefore to understand main reasons behind the major controversy between agents. By this, it aimed at answering why conflicts are emerged in wind farm development processes in Karaburun and how this controversy can be minimized or resolved.
