Add `acceptance` #1552

Closed stap-m closed 1 year ago

stap-m commented 1 year ago

Description of the issue

For the study factsheet descriptors we need to add the term acceptance. Use case: Describing a scenario study that deals with / is about the acceptance of measures, usually of a constructional or (infra)structural kind.

Ideas of solution

A kind of realizable entity, maybe similar to demand.

Workflow checklist

I am aware that

Acceptance: Acceptance is an entity whose realization in a person/population, directed at some constructional or (infra)structural measure can be studied.

stap-m commented 1 year ago

Persons and populations as bearer sounds good. Maybe also organizations? Not sure... Which classification do you propose exatcly? The definition only says "entity".

l-emele commented 1 year ago

To me, acceptance is a possible outcome of some kind of process. People/populations/organisations think and discuss about things and then they either accept something or don't.

@l-emele I see your point, but I think that does not capture the complexity. If we would want to talk about wind turbines and their acceptance in general population, there is no binary value to acceptance, but a varying degree that might differ between regions/social groups etc. The way I thought of it was, that acceptance is not the outcome of a process, but the populations/groups stance on that process/decision.

The outcome of a process is not the process itself. And the outcome does not have to be static.

I think, both arguments fit to my original proposal above: we could see acceptance as (kind of) realizable entity, which per definition have to be realized in a process. The process could be a discussion, communication, action, construction, ... As processed develop or other processes occur, the acceptance of a measure (or the stance regarding it) might be affected and changed. I still think, there is a simlarity to demand, which can also be realized, vary or even disappear again.

EDIT: What about: Acceptance is a realizable entity that represents the attitude of a person or organisation with respect to a certain constructional, (infra)structural or political measure that may be realized in, affected by or results of complex processes like discussions, communications, transformative measures or former personal experiences.

I am fine with your proposal.

viktorwichern commented 1 year ago

I am also fine with that definition.

Should I implement it?

Should I implement it?

Yes, please do so. I just added the oeo-social label, that is my view the best fitting module for this class. I suggest to also add the axiom acceptance 'has bearer' some (person or organisation).
