Understanding the Support of IoT and Persuasive Technology for Smart Bin Design: A Scoping Review

Abstract

In this scoping review, we aim to summarize and analyze the latest persuasive design research developments for smart bins. This study initially collected data from 551 scientific papers, and later, based on a selection process, 13 papers that mainly focused on handling smart bins through persuasive designs were included in the final analysis. These 13 papers were rated by four characteristics: research specifications, methodologies, persuasive strategies, and adopted technologies. We argue that, to understand how to design cyber-physical systems for waste management that involve the cooperation of civil society, a promising path includes unraveling how persuasive smart bins designs are being developed and identifying the challenges and opportunities that exist for waste management in cyber-physical collaborative environments, at the intersection of person, place, and technology.
