The purpose of this study was to determine how social norms and definitions of the self in terms of individualism-collectivism related to engagement in a public-sphere behavior, encouraging others to conserve water. To achieve this, we examined the public sphere behavior of encouraging others to conserve water through the lens of the Theory of Planned behavior. Data were collected from residents in Florida, USA. Cluster analysis was used to assign respondents to individual subgroups according to five variables: horizontal individualism index, vertical individualism index, horizontal collectivism index, vertical collectivism index, and behavioral intent. Then, group membership was used as the independent variable to compare subjective and descriptive norms, personal norms, attitude, perceived behavioral control, demographic characteristics, past and current behavior. Of the resulting two clusters, the Interdependent Conservation Advocates had greater identification with collectivism indices and had stronger intent to encourage others to conserve water, as compared to the Unconnected Bystanders. The former subgroup also reported significantly more positive subjective norms, descriptive norms, personal norms, attitudes, and perceived behavioral control. Perceived behavioral control marked the greatest practical difference between the groups. Interventions targeting this public sphere behavior should foster values of collectivism and increase perceived behavioral control by improving people's ability to encourage others to conserve water.

本研究旨在确定社会规范和个人主义-集体主义的自我定义与参与公共领域行为(鼓励他人节约用水)之间的关系。为此,我们从计划行为理论的角度研究了鼓励他人节约用水这一公共领域行为。数据收集自美国佛罗里达州的居民。我们采用聚类分析法,根据横向个人主义指数、纵向个人主义指数、横向集体主义指数、纵向集体主义指数和行为意向这五个变量将受访者划分到各个子群体中。然后,以群体成员身份为自变量,比较主观规范和描述性规范、个人规范、态度、感知行为控制、人口统计特征、过去和当前行为。在最终得出的两个分组中,相互依存的节水倡导者与无联系的旁观者相比,对集体主义指数的认同度更高,鼓励他人节水的意愿也更强烈。前者所报告的主观规范、描述性规范、个人规范、态度和行为控制感知也更积极。感知行为控制是两组之间最大的实际差异。针对这种公共领域行为的干预措施应通过提高人们鼓励他人节约用水的能力来培养集体主义价值观并增强行为控制感知。

Modern dietary habits pose large threats to the global vision for a sustainable food system transition, intensifying discussions around the urgency for educational initiatives that can promote more sustainable food consumption practices. However, research has not sufficiently studied food consumers' moral background, despite its strong influence on food choices, while relevant research on school-aged consumers is even scarcer. This study focuses on two individual ethical decision-making processes regarding food sustainability: moral judgments and moral motives. Data was selected using non-probability, opportunity sampling from 587 students attending the last two grades of primary school in the Region of Western Macedonia, Greece. Participants completed a Likert-scale questionnaire, which adopted a holistic approach towards food sustainability, incorporating the following 12 variables associated with all three domains of sustainability (environmental, societal, economic): Biodiversity, Carbon footprint, Soil, water and air conservation, (Food) loss and waste, Water footprint, Nutrition and health, Animal welfare, Workers' rights and safety, Cultural traditions, Food supply, Tax revenues and Profits, Jobs/incomes. In the moral motives scale, additional variables associated with non-moral considerations were also assessed: Sensory Appeal, Mood, Promotion, Social influence, Convenience and Familiarity. For the moral judgments scale, findings revealed low to medium scores for all the domains and among the variables associated with a sustainable food system, the lowest mean scores being recorded in those linked to the social dimension of sustainability. Regarding food consumption motives, results indicate that non-moral considerations prevail remarkably over moral ones and are linked to all three domains of sustainability. Statistical testing identified grade level, gender, place of residence and participation in environmental, health or food education school programs as factors influencing certain aspects of students’ moral thinking at a statistically significant level. Insights gained from this study can contribute to educational and other agendas aiming to promote sustainable food consumption.

现代饮食习惯对全球实现可持续粮食系统转型的愿景构成了巨大威胁,这也加剧了围绕教育活动的紧迫性的讨论,教育活动可以促进更可持续的粮食消费行为。然而,尽管食品消费者的道德背景对食品选择有很大影响,但相关研究对其研究还不够,而针对学龄消费者的相关研究更是少之又少。本研究侧重于有关食品可持续性的两个个人道德决策过程:道德判断和道德动机。数据采用非概率机会抽样法从希腊西马其顿地区小学最后两个年级的 587 名学生中选取。参与者填写了一份李克特量表问卷,该问卷采用了食品可持续性的整体方法,包含了与所有三个可持续性领域(环境、社会、经济)相关的以下 12 个变量:生物多样性、碳足迹、土壤、水和空气保护、(食物)损失和浪费、水足迹、营养和健康、动物福利、工人权利和安全、文化传统、食物供应、税收和利润、工作/收入。在道德动机量表中,还评估了与非道德因素相关的其他变量:感官吸引力、情绪、促销、社会影响、便利性和熟悉程度。道德判断量表的结果显示,在所有领域以及与可持续粮食系统相关的变量中,平均得分都处于中低水平,其中与可持续发展的社会维度相关的变量平均得分最低。关于食品消费动机,结果表明,非道德因素明显高于道德因素,并且与可持续发展的所有三个领域相关。统计测试表明,年级、性别、居住地以及是否参加过学校的环境、健康或食品教育计划,都是影响学生道德思维某些方面的因素,而且在统计学上具有显著意义。从这项研究中获得的启示有助于旨在促进可持续食品消费的教育和其他议程。

This study is driven by the absence of thorough investigations into the behavioral intentions of organizational consumers in the B2B market for paint and coatings, particularly within the industrial and marine coatings sector in Vietnam. Employing the stimulus–organism–response model, we tested the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR), green brand image (GBI), green trust (GT), and behavioral intentions (word-of-mouth intention, willingness to pay, and purchase intention) in the Vietnamese industrial and marine coatings industry. We also examined how GBI and GT mediate the relationship between CSR and behavioral intentions. Structural equation modeling was used to test the structural and measurement models and hypothetical relationships. The sample comprised 332 responses from stakeholders in the Vietnamese coating industry. Evidently, GT and CSR positively influenced word-of-mouth, willingness-to-pay, and green purchase intentions, with trust and commitment to sustainability being important drivers. While GBI positively influences purchase intention and willingness-to-pay, it has a weak effect on word-of-mouth intention, indicating that additional strategies are needed to stimulate word of mouth. Further, GT mediates the relationship between green purchase intentions and GBI, as well as between CSR and green purchase intentions. The outcomes highlight the value of incorporating CSR, GT, and GBI into the business strategies of Vietnamese industrial and marine coating companies. We discuss several theoretical and managerial implications, and the importance of studying the influence of GT, CSR, and GBI on consumers’ behavioral intentions across various cultural contexts.

由于缺乏对油漆和涂料 B2B 市场(尤其是越南的工业和船舶涂料行业)中组织消费者行为意向的深入调查,本研究得以展开。我们采用刺激-组织-反应模型,检验了越南工业和船舶涂料行业中企业社会责任(CSR)、绿色品牌形象(GBI)、绿色信任(GT)与行为意向(口碑意向、支付意愿和购买意向)之间的关系。我们还研究了 GBI 和 GT 如何调解企业社会责任与行为意向之间的关系。我们使用结构方程模型来检验结构模型、测量模型和假设关系。样本包括来自越南涂料行业利益相关者的 332 份回复。显而易见,GT 和企业社会责任对口碑、支付意愿和绿色购买意愿有积极影响,其中信任和对可持续发展的承诺是重要的驱动因素。虽然 GBI 对购买意向和支付意愿有积极影响,但对口碑意向的影响较弱,这表明需要采取其他策略来刺激口碑。此外,GT 在绿色购买意愿与 GBI 之间以及企业社会责任与绿色购买意愿之间起到了中介作用。研究结果凸显了将企业社会责任、GT 和 GBI 纳入越南工业和海洋涂料公司商业战略的价值。我们讨论了几种理论和管理意义,以及在不同文化背景下研究 GT、CSR 和 GBI 对消费者行为意向影响的重要性。

University students are among those associated with high energy consumption but with low conservational practices. Such behavior has serious implications on energy sustainability and emission of greenhouse gases. For developing countries, low electricity conservation increases the burden on utility companies and the government as a whole. Efforts to promote electricity conservation have led to an increased number of studies. However, such research have not given much consideration to the role of emotions as well as religion in energy conservation. Evidence from Ghana is also limited. This study examines the factors of electricity conservation intention among University students in Ghana. With the lens of the theory of planned behavior, electricity conservation intention associated with the usage of laptops, refrigerators, light and electric fans was assessed. Emotions and religion were included in the model to assess their effect. Data was collected through the administration of questionnaires to 204 university students. The findings from ordered probit regression indicate that subjective norms, perceived behaviourial control, attitude, emotions and religion influence the extent that students intend to conserve electricity. However, their effects were somehow found to be appliance-specific. The results suggest that continuous teaching of the need for electricity conservation at religious centers or among religious groups could generate some guaranteed levels of electricity conservation among students and may be, even among the larger population. Individuals that assume considerable importance in society should act as conservation leaders to promote such behavior among students and the general public.

大学生是高能源消耗但低节能行为的群体之一。这种行为严重影响了能源的可持续性和温室气体的排放。对于发展中国家来说,低节电率增加了公用事业公司和整个政府的负担。为促进节电所做的努力导致了越来越多的研究。然而,这些研究并没有过多地考虑情感和宗教在节能中的作用。来自加纳的证据也很有限。本研究探讨了加纳大学生的节电意向因素。以计划行为理论为视角,评估了与使用笔记本电脑、冰箱、电灯和电风扇相关的节电意向。情感和宗教信仰也被纳入模型,以评估其影响。数据是通过向 204 名大学生发放调查问卷收集的。有序概率回归的结果表明,主观规范、感知行为控制、态度、情绪和宗教信仰会影响学生节约用电的意愿。然而,研究发现它们的影响与具体电器有关。结果表明,在宗教中心或宗教团体中持续开展节约用电必要性的教育,可以在一定程度上保证学生节约用电,甚至在更大范围的人群中也是如此。在社会中占有相当重要地位的个人应成为节约用电的带头人,以促进学生和公众的节约用电行为。

As a consequence of energy issues and societal dilemmas, building insulation like the eco-block technology has proven its usefulness to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve energy security and enhance the living conditions of building occupants. In Mauritius, the eco-block building material was introduced to improve the energy efficiency of conventional buildings. As observed, limited people's knowledge, poor communication with developers and lack of support from policymakers slow the adoption of the building technology. Mauritian residents are the important stakeholders as they are the final decision-makers of the building insulation. Given recent studies reported that green building adoption is rather psychological than technical, the research makes an original contribution to the literature by extending two consistent psychological frameworks (technology of acceptance model and theory of planned behaviour) and proposing a new framework for assessing the unexplored predictors on eco-block building adoption. A survey questionnaire was forwarded to Mauritian residents through the purposive sampling method to collect data, where 283 responses were useful to undergo structural equation modelling. The results disclosed that attitudes, perceived usefulness, social norm, perceived behavioural control, personal innovativeness, energy concern and price sensitivity have an impact on the acceptance of the eco-block building. Contrarily, subjective knowledge and organisational trust have no influence on the adoption intention. Instead, organisational trust affects behavioural intention indirectly through perceived usefulness. The outcome of this research can serve as a roadmap for relevant stakeholders to promote eco-block building usage in Mauritius.

由于能源问题和社会困境,生态砖技术等建筑隔热材料已被证明有助于减少温室气体排放、提高能源安全和改善建筑使用者的生活条件。毛里求斯引进了生态砖建筑材料,以提高传统建筑的能效。据观察,由于人们的知识有限、与开发商的沟通不畅以及缺乏政策制定者的支持,建筑技术的采用速度缓慢。毛里求斯居民是重要的利益相关者,因为他们是建筑隔热的最终决策者。鉴于最近的研究报告指出,绿色建筑的采用是心理因素而非技术因素,本研究扩展了两个一致的心理学框架(接受技术模型和计划行为理论),并提出了一个新的框架,用于评估生态建筑采用方面尚未探索的预测因素,从而为相关文献做出了原创性贡献。通过有目的的抽样方法,向毛里求斯居民发放了调查问卷以收集数据,其中 283 份答复有助于进行结构方程建模。结果表明,态度、感知有用性、社会规范、感知行为控制、个人创新性、能源关注和价格敏感性对生态砖建筑的接受度有影响。相反,主观知识和组织信任对采用意愿没有影响。相反,组织信任会通过感知有用性间接影响行为意向。本研究的结果可作为相关利益方在毛里求斯推广使用生态砖建筑的路线图。

Dhaka, the only megacity of Bangladesh is facing water stress due to unplanned urbanization and lack of sustainable water management practices. The two important components of Integrated Urban Water Management, i.e., rainwater harvesting (RWH) and wastewater reuse are hardly practiced in Dhaka. A new township is growing in Dhaka to meet the dwelling needs of middle-income groups with the opportunities to integrate both the systems. However, the integration is either missing or lacks considerations of sustainability. This study explores the perceptions of 256 respondents (beneficiary and functionary) to ascertain the opportunities and challenges of integration of RWH and wastewater of the growing township using structured questionnaires. The awareness, level of knowledge, willingness and key necessities have been explored through the questions. The general awareness level on RWH and wastewater reuse ranges between 30% - 62% and 34%- 42% respectively for different age groups. Around 70% of the respondents lack knowledge on regulatory aspects of its implementation. Apart from economic insights, the perception reveals around 64% willingness towards its integration for urban water demand management. Complete awareness generation, enforcement of compliance and streamlining the process of integration are the key imperatives to offset the non-adoption of both components.

达卡是孟加拉国唯一的特大城市,由于无规划的城市化和缺乏可持续的水资源管理方法,达卡正面临着水资源紧张的问题。城市水资源综合管理的两个重要组成部分,即雨水收集(RWH)和废水回用,在达卡几乎没有实施。为满足中等收入群体的居住需求,达卡正在建设一个新城镇,这为整合这两个系统提供了机会。然而,这种整合要么缺失,要么缺乏可持续性考虑。本研究采用结构化问卷调查的方式,探讨了 256 名受访者(受益人和职能部门)的看法,以确定在不断发展的乡镇中整合农村用水和污水处理系统的机遇和挑战。通过问题探讨了受访者的意识、知识水平、意愿和主要需求。不同年龄段的受访者对回用水和废水再利用的总体认识水平分别在 30% - 62% 和 34% - 42% 之间。约有 70% 的受访者缺乏有关实施监管方面的知识。除经济方面的见解外,约 64% 的受访者愿意将其纳入城市水需求管理。要抵消这两部分的不被采纳,关键在于全面提高意识、强制执行和简化整合过程。

This paper studies niche-regime dynamics in sustainability transitions in the disposable nappy industry in Australia. Disposable nappies generate a disproportionate amount of plastic waste relative to the per capita usage of the product. In the 60 years since disposable nappies were introduced into the market, niche innovators attempting to offer more sustainable solutions have been unable to challenge the dominant market position of disposable nappies. Little attention has been paid to the dynamics of this industry despite the growing plastic waste crisis and the emergence of new niche innovations.

In this study, we apply the Multi-Level Perspective (MLP) to the disposable nappy category for the first time. We adopt the “windows of opportunity” framework that sits within MLP to understand niche-regime dynamics in the nappy industry. The findings of this study revealed several significant barriers that niche nappy innovators need to overcome to destabilise regime-level actors and become mainstream. Achieving price parity and matching performance and convenience are the most significant factors. A new policy intervention in the Australian state of New South Wales banning the inclusion of compostable biofilms in household Food Organics Garden Organics (FOGO) waste collections also poses an immediate regulatory barrier.

本文研究了澳大利亚一次性尿布行业可持续性转型中的利基制度动态。一次性尿布产生的塑料垃圾数量与该产品的人均使用量不成比例。自一次性尿布进入市场以来的 60 年间,试图提供更具可持续性解决方案的利基创新者一直未能挑战一次性尿布的市场主导地位。在本研究中,我们首次将多层次视角(MLP)应用于一次性尿布类别。我们采用 MLP 中的 "机会之窗 "框架来理解尿布行业的利基制度动态。这项研究的结果揭示了利基尿布创新者需要克服的几个重大障碍,以颠覆制度层面的参与者并成为主流。其中最重要的因素是实现价格平价以及性能与便利性的匹配。澳大利亚新南威尔士州的一项新政策规定,禁止在家庭食品有机物(FOGO)垃圾收集中加入可堆肥生物膜,这也构成了直接的监管障碍。

The increasing demand for potable water resources worldwide due to population growth, drought, and unpredictable weather patterns resulting from climate change has led to a significant water crisis. To address this issue, it is essential to analyze domestic water consumption patterns and implement practical guidelines for water conservation programs in sustainable development.

This study investigated the technical and social behavioral saving strategies affecting domestic water consumption patterns in a random survey of 100 householders in Shiraz City, Iran. The aim was to determine the public viewpoint and hindrances of water conservation methods. Technical questions in the questionnaire were related to water usage facilities and equipment, while social questions were related to people's attitudes, awareness, and hindrances toward water conservation. Three categories are used to cluster water-saving behavioral patterns i.e., curtailment, economic, and efficiency characteristics. Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) techniques, including Simple Additive Weighted (SAW) and Analytic Hierarchy Processes (AHP), were used for the analysis of the comprehensive questionnaire data.

Based on the results, people seem to prioritize Social-Curtailment characteristics that align with their habits and culture, as well as Technical-Curtailment characteristics that involve high water consumption, low cost, and easy implementation. To effectively communicate the proposed technical-economic factors of low cost, low consumption, and medium implementation, they can be conveyed to the public through carefully chosen socio-curtailment indicators.

由于人口增长、干旱和气候变化导致的不可预测的天气模式,全世界对饮用水资源的需求不断增加,导致了严重的水资源危机。为解决这一问题,有必要对家庭用水模式进行分析,并在可持续发展中实施切实可行的节水计划指南。本研究对伊朗设拉子市的 100 户家庭进行了随机调查,研究了影响家庭用水模式的技术和社会行为节水策略。本研究对伊朗设拉子市的 100 户家庭进行了随机调查,旨在了解公众对节水方法的看法和阻碍因素。问卷中的技术问题与用水设施和设备有关,而社会问题则与人们的节水态度、节水意识和节水障碍有关。节水行为模式分为三个类别,即节水特征、经济特征和效率特征。多标准决策(MCDM)技术包括简单加权法(SAW)和层次分析法(AHP),用于分析综合问卷数据。为了有效传达所提出的低成本、低消耗和中等实施率的技术经济因素,可以通过精心选择的社会缩减指标向公众传达这些因素。

Burgeoning ecological crises of food production sector has made the environmental impact evaluation of various food products a sustainability imperative. Specifically, in pursuit of identifying a sustainable production model of high-demand food items, implementing a comparative life cycle assessment of various production approaches is of paramount importance. The energy consumption and environmental impacts of manufacturing two popular sesame products, Tahini (milled sesame paste) and Halva (sweetened sesame paste) in Iran was realized by using life cycle assessment methodology. In this regard, two production systems of traditional and modern, based on sesame cultivation and processing seeds were modeled. Moreover, production of milling stone, as the main instrument in Tahini and Halva production, was evaluated within the boundary of each product system. The highest energy used pattern and carbon footprint were attributed to the traditionally produced Tahini with 89.3 MJ/kg and 12.4 kg CO2eq/kg respectively; while, the lowest results were associated with modern-based Halva production with 47.8 MJ/kg and 5.4 kg CO2eq/kg. Compared to the traditional method, modern production of tahini was found to increase acidification potential and ozone layer depletion potential the most, with 73.1 g SO2eq and 0.735 mg R11eq respectively. Production of milling stone was the predominant hotspot for all products in traditional and modern systems, with average of 56% and 45% contribution to the total energy used, and 75% and 71% contribution to the carbon footprint of products in the former and latter systems respectively. Moreover, implementation of agrivoltaics system and circular economy-based milling stone as the alternative scenarios were evaluated from LCA perspective, which demonstrated that adoption of alternative milling stone could reduce the impact results significantly. It is believed that the novel evaluation framework of this study could serve as an example for future LCA studies to expand the common routine of evaluation and include production of instrument within the product's system boundary.

食品生产领域日益突出的生态危机使得对各种食品的环境影响进行评估成为可持续发展的当务之急。具体来说,为了确定高需求食品的可持续生产模式,对各种生产方法进行生命周期比较评估至关重要。通过使用生命周期评估方法,研究了在伊朗生产两种广受欢迎的芝麻产品--Tahini(磨碎的芝麻酱)和 Halva(甜芝麻酱)的能源消耗和环境影响。为此,模拟了基于芝麻种植和种子加工的传统和现代两种生产系统。此外,作为芝麻酱和 Halva 生产中的主要工具,研磨石的生产也在每个产品系统的范围内进行了评估。传统方法生产的塔希尼(Tahini)所使用的能源模式和碳足迹最高,分别为 89.3 兆焦耳/千克和 12.4 千克二氧化碳当量/千克;而现代方法生产的哈勒瓦(Halva)所使用的能源模式和碳足迹最低,分别为 47.8 兆焦耳/千克和 5.4 千克二氧化碳当量/千克。与传统方法相比,现代方法生产的芝麻酱增加的酸化潜能值和臭氧层破坏潜能值最大,分别为 73.1 克二氧化硫当量和 0.735 毫克 R11eq。在传统和现代系统中,磨石生产是所有产品的主要热点,在前者和后者系统中,平均分别占总能耗的 56% 和 45%,以及产品碳足迹的 75% 和 71%。此外,还从生命周期评估的角度对实施农业光伏系统和基于循环经济的磨石作为替代方案进行了评估,结果表明,采用替代磨石可显著降低影响结果。相信本研究的新颖评价框架可为今后的生命周期评估研究提供范例,以扩大常见的评价常规,并将仪器生产纳入产品的系统边界内。

The environmental pollution and climate change caused by rapid industrialization and economic growth have become worldwide concerns. In order to alleviate environmental pressures and seek sustainable development pathways, green consumption has become a focal point of attention. However, the practice of green consumption often constrained by individuals' levels of environmental literacy. Therefore, this study focuses on Shandong Province, comprehensively assessing residents' environmental literacy through four dimensions: environmental values, environmental responsibility, environmental problem perception, and environmental behavioral skills. Similarly, residents' green consumption is evaluated through four dimensions: green products, material recycling, biodiversity conservation, and efficient use of energy. The study investigates the connection between these two aspects to provide robust support for regional sustainable development. Data from 210 valid surveys collected through online questionnaires in Shandong Province revealed a generally high level of environmental literacy and green consumption, but relatively lower performance in dimensions like environmental behavioral skills, green products and material recycling. Further analysis demonstrates significant positive correlations between the four dimensions of environmental literacy and green consumption. Notably, environmental behavior skills and environmental responsibility played pivotal roles in influencing green consumption.

快速的工业化和经济增长所带来的环境污染和气候变化已成为全世界关注的问题。为了缓解环境压力,寻求可持续发展之路,绿色消费成为人们关注的焦点。然而,绿色消费的实践往往受到个人环境素养水平的制约。因此,本研究以山东省为研究对象,从环境价值观、环境责任感、环境问题认知和环境行为技能四个维度对居民的环境素养进行综合评价。同样,从绿色产品、材料循环利用、生物多样性保护和能源高效利用四个维度对居民的绿色消费进行评价。本研究调查了这两个方面之间的联系,为地区可持续发展提供有力支持。通过在线问卷在山东省收集的 210 份有效调查数据显示,山东省的环境素养和绿色消费水平普遍较高,但在环境行为技能、绿色产品和材料循环利用等方面的表现相对较低。进一步分析表明,环境素养的四个维度与绿色消费之间存在明显的正相关关系。值得注意的是,环境行为技能和环境责任在影响绿色消费方面发挥了关键作用。
