Abstract
Ecofeminism is a movement of thought that draws a parallel between domination of nature, which is associated with women, and the domination of women and a big hurdle for the commencement of the new project around the nature. This aspect needs the attention of recent literature and the present article examines the impact of ecofeminism, cultural affection, social positioning and environmentalism on the women’s resistance towards new project like hydro-electric power plant (HEPP) in Turkey. The study gathered the primary data from the women living near river using survey questionnaires. The article used smart-PLS to check the association among variables. The outcomes revealed that the ecofeminism, cultural affection, social positioning and environmentalism have a positive association with women’s resistance towards new project like HEPP in Turkey. The study guides the regulators in establishing regulations related to reduce the women resistance towards new project focusing of ecofeminism, cultural affection, social positioning, and environmentalism.
