资源开采依赖于人类与地下的互动，地下往往在农村社区附近。然而，很少有研究探索本地化的、基于地点的与地下的关系，以及与拟议的能源活动相关的后续问题。本文强调了在英国两个农村社区对拟议中的页岩勘探进行本地化风险认知的重要性。通过定性的案例研究，我们考察了地下景观如何塑造对地点的感觉和基于地点的知识。此外，我们还探讨了这些因素如何影响当地对页岩气勘探的风险认知。我们的发现表明，每个社区的地方感和基于地点的知识是如何植根于当地农村文化的，这种文化可以追溯到几代人之前，至少部分植根于人类与地下的联系和对地下的理解。地方的地面和地下之间的联系引发了人们对独特性的担忧，这增强了居民对更普遍的页岩气风险的看法。这些研究结果拓宽了我们对地方如何涵盖地面和地下景观的理解，对能源环境中的风险认知具有重大影响。这些发现为将基于地点的和多元的知识集合纳入有助于净零战略的未来地下能源项目的风险管理和决策提出了重要的问题。
Resource extraction relies on human interaction with the underground, often near rural communities. Yet, little research has explored localized, place‐based relationships to the underground and subsequent concerns tied to proposed energy activities. This paper highlights the importance of place in localized risk perceptions of proposed shale exploration in two rural communities in the United Kingdom. Through qualitative case studies we examine how senses of place and place‐based knowledges are shaped by underground landscapes. Further, we explore how these inform local risk perceptions of shale gas exploration. Our findings demonstrate how senses of place and place‐based knowledges in each community are embedded in local rural culture that stretches back multiple generations, and are at least in part rooted in human connections to, and understanding of, the subsurface. Connections between surface and underground aspects of places create concerns about distinctiveness, which heighten residents' perceptions of more generalized shale gas risks. The research findings broaden our understanding of how places encompass both surface and underground landscapes, with significant implications for risk perceptions in energy contexts. These findings raise important questions for incorporating place‐based and plural sets of knowledge in risk management and decision‐making for future underground energy projects that contribute to net‐zero strategies.
