Abstract
The aim of this research was to investigate the people`s attitudes on production and utilization of energy peat, and the possible differences in attitudes of people living in different parts of the country. The research was carried out as an inquiry in three different communes, Haapavesi, Kuopio and Vantaa. The differences in attitudes in different areas were smaller than expected. According to the questionnaire the attitude of Finnish people on utilization of energy peat is positive. Peat energy is associated to be cheap form of energy, and its positive employment and domesticity are appreciated. The majority of the people thinks that combustion of peat is a suitable form of using peat, but there are also those, who think that there might be more useful ways for utilization of peat. Peat is understood as a renewable source of energy than as unrenewable energy source. The environmental effects of peat production are considered to be remarkable, but smaller than those of other energy production. The traffic, dust and landscape effects were estimated to be larger than the effects on watercourses. The peatland conservation and peat production are not seen as equal ways of peatland utilization. Forestation of peatland are, however, seen to

The resistance against nuclear power, oil and especially the coal is high, although there is also support for additional construction of nuclear power. Information on peat is mainly obtained from newspapers, radio and television, and they are regarded the most reliable information distributers in the field of energy. More than a half of the responders kept also the information delivery of the peat producers quite reliable.}
