PROPOSED CAPSTONE PROJECT
- Describe the problem / issue you propose to address.
Community Engagement in Wind Farm Construction Projects in Australia,the communication from government and private companies with the community is inadequate and not effective, which, according toColvin et al. (2016), has been causing conflicts in the community, motivated by concerns about health impacts, changes in landscape, wildlife, reduced property value, noise from the turbine generators, etc.
- Why is the problem / issue of interest to you and why are you addressing this problem issue?
I want to reach a deeper understanding of renewable energy construction projects (specifically wind farms) as a potential sector to aggregate my professional career as there are many job opportunities in this field in Australia, also I always have an interest in an energy sector. I believe community engagement is one of the key areas to succeed in a large-scale project.
- Describe the key questionyou propose to answer via this project?
To gain a better understanding of how the government and wind farm companies can successfully engage with the community to reduce conflicts regarding concerns involving health impacts, changes in landscape, wildlife, reduced property value and noise caused by Wind Farm projects. The goal of this study is to review communication management according to PMBOK principles, analyse industry reports and critical articles to answer the key question of why Wind Farm projects community engagement in Australia is inadequate and not effective, and propose recommendations on how that can be improved.
- How do you propose to carry out the project? (Workplace arrangement if Employer-based project, OR Research processes if Research-based project)
Research-based project:
The research-based project will be a systematic literature review as strategy, which is intended to provide a critical summary of community engagement in Wind Farm Construction Projects in Australia. Some key sources for this research therefore will include documentation form: reports, peer reviewed/academic articles, books, and business and government official sources.
- How long will the project take to deliver in full?
12 weeks
- Which areas of Project Theory will be addressed in the project that you propose to deliver?
