Sustainable Energy: Human Factors in Geothermal Water Resource Management

摘要

Investigating the knowledge, perceptions, as well as attitudes of the public concerning various aspects of environmental issues is of great importance in promoting sustainable development. An integrated understanding of the role of the effective use of renewable resources can provide proper support for the planning of the construction of new installations. In this sense, human factors and knowledge play an important role in conceptual models in the field of the effective use of renewable energy. This work is focused on the effective use of geothermal water and renewable energy for the future needs of modern sustainable, effective management of the geothermal water resources. The research field includes key new areas of study: an improvement in the management of geothermal and freshwater resources through the use of residual geothermal water and the development of the comprehensive utilization of water in agriculture, balneotherapy, and the tourist and leisure sectors.
