SAFETY CULTURE IN ARTIFICIAL ENVIRONMENTS VS. SOZOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF WIND ENERGY
Abstract
The term “environment” is commonly used since it is a concept conveying multiple meanings. When used with an appropriate quantifier, it defines its specificity and character. In this article, the authors will focus their scientific inquiries on two basic issues. First of all, they will propose to “broaden” the artificial environment to include the marine environment. Secondly, an answer to the question of what safety culture should humans introduce to the environments being explored will be presented on the basis of the pilot studies on the construction approval and then operation of wind turbines in artificial environments: rural, urban, industrial, military, and maritime. These environments, along with dynamic technical and technological progress, are evolving and becoming a separate entity, the decision to explore them is complex and requires considering the potential benefits compared to the associated costs and ethical aspects.
