The study employed a sequential explanatory survey to explore public perception and acceptance. The research results show that the geothermal energy resources in the Biga Peninsula, in particular, have significant potential for different uses; however they indicate that there are insufficient knowledge levels related to both what geothermal energy is and its environmental effects. © 2016 The Authors.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGeothermal Utilization; Public Acceptance; Public Perception; Turkey; ÇanakkaleConference Object9719420110.1016/j.egypro.2016.10.0522-s2.0-85008244101N/A
