This report presents the results of the WIMBY project activities conducted on the island of Pantelleria, aimed at studying the social perception and acceptance of potential wind power installations. Through a multi-method approach including workshops with an immersive 3D platform, Multi-Criteria Satisfaction Analysis (MUSA), mental models exercises, and semi-structured interviews, the study revealed a predominantly positive community attitude. The main drivers for acceptance are the expected economic and environmental benefits. The primary concerns relate to the landscape impact. Participants (41 adults and 13 pupils) actively identified suitable and unsuitable areas for development, demonstrating that early engagement and financial participation opportunities are crucial for building consensus.
