20.500.12556/RUL-177243 Translating social science into policy recommendations for managing societal aspects of radon and NORM This policy-oriented manuscript translates recent social science and humanities research (2020–2025) into evidence-based recommendations for policymakers managing societal aspects of radon and naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM). By bridging the gap between researchers and decision-makers, the work ensures that radon and NORM policies are informed by robust evidence, context-sensitive insights, and tested approaches. The recommendations are structured across nine key fields: (1) advancing citizen science initiatives; (2) strengthening evidence-based decision-making with quantitative data; (3) enhancing policy guidance through qualitative insights; (4) improving communication strategies on radon and NORM; (5) addressing societal complexities of radon spas; (6) managing social challenges of radiological risks in geothermal energy; (7) incorporating social considerations in regulation of NORM-containing building materials; (8) reducing societal uncertainties in remediation of NORM and legacy sites; and (9) promoting sustainable, circular approaches to radon and NORM management. The recommendations were developed through review of recent research and validated through broad stakeholder consultation. Together, they provide a comprehensive roadmap for integrating science into policy, fostering resilience, sustainability, and public trust in the governance of radon and NORM across Europe. radon and naturally occurring radioactive substances citizen science community science amateur science communication policy recommendations radon management radon naravno prisotne radioaktivne snovi državljanska znanost skupnostna znanost ljubiteljska znanost komuniciranje priporočila za politiko upravljanje radona true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-12-18 16:33:50 2025-12-18 16:33:58 2025-12-29 03:57:57 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 15 str. art. 107859 Vol. 291 Jan. 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 316.77:32:502 1879-1700 10.1016/j.jenvrad.2025.107859 259840003 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0265931X25002462 1 87ddcd8e-dc26-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=224172 1-s2.0-S0265931X25002462-main.pdf 1-s2.0-S0265931X25002462-main.pdf 1 608B0FA263AD8999BDD5AB24DF8C4F4E a89b22195f34ca21fa010473172f85adca6571e227beec519d1c061abf1fe188 0f2805f2-dc27-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=224173 Fakulteta za družbene vede 0 0 0
