Private car ownership is responsible for high greenhouse gas emissions and has a high space requirement. In theory, car-sharing is the cleaner alternative. However, despite decades of car-sharing availability in Germany, adoption remains low, primarily due to a lack of perceived convenience and the uncertainty of vehicle availability. This study presents a novel, further developed car-sharing approach that could solve these issues. The tested approach is a fully electrified, closed-group residential car-sharing system implemented in a Munich apartment building over 9 months. The study evaluates behavioral shifts, user satisfaction, and system performance using a within-subject design, GPS tracking, and five survey rounds. The results are promising. The provided shared vehicles covered 72.1 % of all motorized travel during the case study period and showed high user satisfaction. Participants valued the closed-group system's availability, cleanliness, and communication benefits. Most participants expressed a willingness to pay more for such a car-sharing system. However, limitations in vehicle range and capacity restricted the complete substitution of private cars, especially for long-distance trips and trips with high transportation needs. This case study demonstrates the possibility of residential car-sharing as a substitute for private ownership and offers practical insights for car-sharing providers and real estate developers. It highlights the importance of a diverse fleet composition, user-centered communication, and high vehicle availability to meet all mobility needs.

私家车是温室气体排放的罪魁祸首，对空间的要求也很高。理论上，汽车共享是更清洁的选择。然而，尽管汽车共享在德国已经存在了几十年，但使用率仍然很低，主要原因是缺乏便利性和车辆可用性的不确定性。这项研究提出了一种新颖的、进一步发展的汽车共享方法，可以解决这些问题。经过测试的方法是在慕尼黑的一栋公寓楼中实施一个全电气化、封闭的住宅汽车共享系统，时间长达9个月。该研究使用主题内设计、GPS跟踪和五轮调查来评估行为转变、用户满意度和系统性能。结果是有希望的。在案例研究期间，提供的共享车辆覆盖了所有机动出行的72.1%，用户满意度很高。参与者评价封闭小组系统的可用性、清洁度和沟通优势。大多数参与者表示愿意为这样的汽车共享系统支付更多的钱。然而，车辆的范围和容量的限制限制了私家车的完全替代，特别是对于长途旅行和高运输需求的旅行。本案例研究展示了住宅汽车共享作为私人所有权替代品的可能性，并为汽车共享提供商和房地产开发商提供了实用的见解。它强调了多样化的车队组成、以用户为中心的通信和高车辆可用性以满足所有移动需求的重要性。

The notion of alternative feed sources is novel to Nepali farmers. There are no prior studies assessing the perception and readiness of stakeholders, including farmers and feed companies, in the poultry production sector to accept alternative feed sources. This study examines the perceptions of stakeholders involved in poultry production, the factors influencing farmers’ willingness to adopt alternative feed sources, and their intention to produce such feed sources. Randomly selected 196 farmers and 23 feed companies were surveyed in 2023 in the Chitwan district, the hub of the Nepalese poultry business. Data analysis involved the use of descriptive statistics and binary logit regression. Findings revealed that 62.8 % of respondent farmers and all the feed companies had a positive perception of alternative feed sources, with 51.5 % of farmers and 43.5 % of feed companies being willing to accept them. However, only 13.8 % of farmers and 21.7 % of feed companies intended to produce these sources. Education (p < 0.05), perception (p < 0.01), and farm economic performance (p < 0.01) significantly influence farmers' willingness to accept alternative feed sources. Altogether, stakeholders in poultry production are generally willing to adopt alternative poultry feeds, but producing alternative feed on their own would be expectedly challenging due to the demands for knowledge and investment in infrastructure.

替代饲料来源的概念对尼泊尔农民来说是新鲜的。此前没有研究评估家禽生产部门的利益相关者（包括农民和饲料公司）接受替代饲料来源的认知和准备情况。本研究考察了参与家禽生产的利益相关者的看法，影响农民采用替代饲料来源意愿的因素，以及他们生产这种饲料来源的意愿。该研究于2023年在尼泊尔家禽业中心奇旺地区随机抽取了196名农民和23家饲料公司进行调查。数据分析包括使用描述性统计和二元logit回归。调查结果显示，62.8%的受访农民和所有饲料公司对替代饲料来源持积极态度，51.5%的农民和43.5%的饲料公司愿意接受替代饲料来源。然而，只有13.8%的农民和21.7%的饲料公司打算生产这些来源。教育（p < 0.05）、认知（p < 0.01）和农场经济绩效（p < 0.01）显著影响农民接受替代饲料来源的意愿。总之，家禽生产的利益相关者通常愿意采用替代家禽饲料，但由于对知识和基础设施投资的需求，自行生产替代饲料预计将具有挑战性。

Food loss and waste are increasingly recognized as the outcomes of complex, interconnected social and environmental dynamics rather than isolated individual choices. In this study, we adopt a complex systems approach to explore how micro-level behaviors and interactions within commercial dining settings give rise to emergent patterns of food waste. We present an agent-based model that integrates a psychologically realistic representation of individual decision-making, grounded in the HUMAT socio-cognitive architecture. Here, artificial agents balance multiple motives — including social, experiential, and values-based drivers — while operating within a context shaped by the Motivation, Opportunities, and Abilities (MOA) framework from the social sciences. The simulated population represents diners in buffet-style environments. Individuals follow rules influenced by their motivations, opportunities, and abilities, which dictate factors such as the timing of their meal, portion sizes, frequency of servings, and amount of leftovers on their plates. Results highlight that the motives of conformism and sustainability have the strongest impact on food waste levels, with higher values drastically reducing leftovers. The model also shows that extra servings—particularly in scenarios with normal plate sizes—are strongly associated with increased waste. These findings underscore how behavioral drivers and situational constraints interact to shape food waste patterns, supporting the model's application in simulating context-sensitive interventions for promoting sustainable and responsible consumption.

人们日益认识到，粮食损失和浪费是复杂的、相互关联的社会和环境动态的结果，而不是孤立的个人选择。在本研究中，我们采用复杂系统的方法来探索商业餐饮环境中微观层面的行为和相互作用如何引起食物浪费的紧急模式。我们提出了一个基于主体的模型，该模型集成了基于人类社会认知架构的个人决策的心理现实表示。在这里，人工智能体平衡多种动机——包括社会、经验和基于价值观的驱动因素——同时在社会科学的动机、机会和能力（MOA）框架形成的背景下运作。模拟人群代表自助餐式环境中的就餐者。人们遵循的规则受到他们的动机、机会和能力的影响，这些因素决定了他们吃饭的时间、份量、上菜的频率和盘子里剩下的食物的数量。结果表明，循规蹈矩和可持续性的动机对食物浪费水平的影响最大，较高的价值观大大减少了剩饭剩菜。该模型还表明，额外的份量——尤其是在盘子大小正常的情况下——与浪费的增加密切相关。这些发现强调了行为驱动因素和情境制约因素如何相互作用，形成食物浪费模式，支持该模型在模拟情境敏感干预措施以促进可持续和负责任消费方面的应用。

The transition to sustainable food consumption is essential for mitigating the environmental impacts of the food industry. This study examines the factors influencing sustainable purchasing behaviour in the Basque Country, focusing on the pre-purchase decision-making phase in supermarkets. This research, rooted in Social Practice Theory (SPT), examines how factors such as social norms, awareness, knowledge, availability, and price sensitivity influence food choices. The research utilized survey data, which was subsequently analysed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The findings reveal that social norms and awareness significantly encourage sustainable purchasing, while price sensitivity serves as a barrier. Knowledge indirectly promotes sustainable behaviour by increasing awareness, whereas availability does not have a significant direct effect. Furthermore, price sensitivity weakens the positive impact of social norms, highlighting the challenges of promoting sustainability among price-sensitive consumers. These insights underline the need for strategies that strengthen social norms and awareness while mitigating price-related barriers, offering actionable recommendations for policymakers and retailers.

向可持续食品消费的过渡对于减轻食品工业对环境的影响至关重要。本研究考察了影响巴斯克地区可持续购买行为的因素，重点关注超市的购买前决策阶段。这项研究植根于社会实践理论（SPT），研究了社会规范、意识、知识、可获得性和价格敏感性等因素如何影响食物选择。该研究利用了调查数据，随后使用结构方程模型（SEM）进行了分析。研究结果显示，社会规范和意识显著鼓励可持续购买，而价格敏感性是一个障碍。知识通过提高认识间接促进可持续行为，而可获得性没有显著的直接影响。此外，价格敏感性削弱了社会规范的积极影响，突出了在价格敏感的消费者中促进可持续性的挑战。这些见解强调需要制定战略，加强社会规范和意识，同时减少与价格相关的障碍，为政策制定者和零售商提供可行的建议。

The growing shift from internal combustion engine vehicles to battery electric vehicles (BEVs) is pivotal for reducing CO₂ emissions, but it also raises new environmental and resource concerns. Consequently, effective recycling and reuse strategies for BEV batteries are increasingly critical. While research on BEV adoption has expanded, studies on consumer preferences for battery reuse applications remain limited, particularly research comparing valuations across different contexts and examining psychological drivers of acceptance. This study aims to analyze consumer preferences for reused BEV batteries in two applications—vehicle replacement parts and residential stationary storage—by conducting a discrete choice experiment within a questionnaire survey of BEV users in Japan. Results revealed that cost savings and lifetime losses are more influential than carbon savings, and preferences differ significantly across applications. Notably, consumers showed substantially higher willingness to pay to avoid battery lifetime losses in residential stationary storage (5724 JPY/year/kWh) than in vehicle settings (1470 JPY/year/kWh). These findings suggest an application-specific approach: cost competitiveness is crucial for vehicle use, whereas performance and environmental benefits can justify premium pricing in residential storage. Furthermore, perceived usefulness moderately shifts cost and durability sensitivities, highlighting the importance of clear communication about reused batteries’ value. Overall, this study provides new insights into how consumer preferences vary by application and underscores the need for differentiated business and policy strategies to foster battery reuse and advance the circular economy.

从内燃机汽车到纯电动汽车（bev）的日益转变对减少二氧化碳排放至关重要，但它也引发了新的环境和资源问题。因此，有效的纯电动汽车电池回收和再利用策略变得越来越重要。虽然对纯电动汽车采用的研究已经扩大，但对消费者对电池再利用应用的偏好的研究仍然有限，特别是对不同背景下的估值比较和对接受心理驱动因素的研究。本研究旨在通过对日本纯电动汽车用户的问卷调查进行离散选择实验，分析消费者对再生纯电动汽车电池在两种应用中的偏好——汽车更换部件和住宅固定存储。结果表明，成本节约和生命周期损失比碳节约更有影响力，并且不同应用的偏好差异很大。值得注意的是，消费者表现出更高的意愿，以避免住宅固定存储（5724日元/年/千瓦时）的电池寿命损失，而不是车辆设置（1470日元/年/千瓦时）。这些发现提出了一种针对特定应用的方法：成本竞争力对车辆使用至关重要，而性能和环境效益可以证明住宅储能系统的溢价定价是合理的。此外，感知到的有用性适度地改变了成本和耐用性的敏感性，强调了关于可重复使用电池价值的清晰沟通的重要性。总的来说，这项研究提供了关于消费者偏好如何随应用而变化的新见解，并强调了促进电池再利用和推进循环经济的差异化业务和政策战略的必要性。

Purpose

As environmental concerns intensify globally, understanding the psychological drivers of sustainable consumption has become increasingly critical, particularly in emerging markets where behavioral norms are still evolving. While the Norm Activation Model (NAM) has been widely applied in pro-environmental research, its application in transitional economies remains underexplored. This study employs NAM to investigate the psychological antecedents of intention for sustainable consumption (ISC) in Vietnam. Specifically, it examines how awareness of consequences (AC), ascription of responsibility (AR), and personal norms (PN) influence ISC and whether these relationships differ between consumers with and without prior experience using sustainable products.

Design/methodology/approach

A structured questionnaire was distributed offline to Vietnamese consumers, yielding 273 valid responses. Structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was employed to test the hypothesized relationships. Multi-group analysis (MGA) was conducted to assess differences between experienced and inexperienced consumer segments.

Findings

The results confirm significant relationships from AC to AR, AC to PN, AR to PN, and PN to ISC, supporting NAM's theoretical framework. AC also directly influences ISC, while AR does not. MGA revealed no significant differences across consumer segments, suggesting structural invariance between experienced and inexperienced consumers.

Originality/value

This study extends the application of NAM to a non-Western, transitional market and demonstrates its robustness in predicting ISC across consumer experience levels. It highlights PN as the central driver of ISC and offers theoretical and practical insights for promoting sustainable behavior in emerging economies through awareness and responsibility-driven strategies.

随着全球对环境问题的关注日益加剧，理解可持续消费的心理驱动力变得越来越重要，尤其是在行为规范仍在演变的新兴市场。虽然规范激活模型（NAM）已广泛应用于亲环境研究，但其在转型经济中的应用仍未得到充分探索。本研究采用NAM调查越南可持续消费意向的心理前因。具体来说，它研究了后果意识（AC）、责任归属（AR）和个人规范（PN）如何影响ISC，以及这些关系在有和没有使用可持续产品经验的消费者之间是否存在差异。设计/方法/方法一份结构化问卷在线下分发给越南消费者，得到273份有效答复。采用结构方程模型（PLS-SEM）对假设关系进行检验。进行多群体分析（MGA）来评估有经验和没有经验的消费者群体之间的差异。研究结果证实了AC与AR、AC与PN、AR与PN、PN与ISC之间的显著关系，支持了NAM的理论框架。AC也直接影响ISC，而AR没有。MGA在不同消费阶层之间没有显著差异，表明有经验和没有经验的消费者之间存在结构性不变。原创性/价值本研究将不适感的应用扩展到非西方的转型市场，并证明了其在预测跨消费者体验水平的ISC方面的稳健性。该报告强调了企业精神作为ISC的核心驱动力，并为通过意识和责任驱动战略促进新兴经济体的可持续行为提供了理论和实践见解。

Household biogas offers a sustainable alternative to traditional biomass-based cooking in developing countries. However, their long-term functionality is often hindered by technical, socioeconomic, and institutional barriers. The aim of this study is to systematically identify and priorotize the major failure modes of household biogas systems in Nepal and understand how sociotechnical factors exacerbate these failures. Using failure mode and effects analysis integrated with sociotechnical systems theory, a field survey of 384 households was conducted across two ecological regions of Nepal. Twenty (20) key failure modes were identified and prioritized from system failure's perspective using risk priority number (RPN). The most critical failures were non-favorable anaerobic digestion conditions (RPN = 640), insufficient mixing (RPN = 467), and improper dilution ratios (RPN = 403). These technical issues were intensified by socioeconomic barriers such as limited affordability of maintenance, sociocultural stigmas related to waste handling, and institutional shortcomings in post-installation support. The findings suggest that performance-based subsidies, user training, localized design improvements, and stronger maintenance services are vital for sustaining household biogas adoption. Although the findings offer a diagnostic view of household biogas system performance in Nepal, their implications extend to national efforts in GHG emission mitigation, household air pollution reduction, progress toward sustainable development goals and nationally determined contributor targets.

在发展中国家，家用沼气为传统的生物质烹饪提供了一种可持续的替代方案。然而，它们的长期功能经常受到技术、社会经济和制度障碍的阻碍。本研究的目的是系统地识别和优先考虑尼泊尔家庭沼气系统的主要故障模式，并了解社会技术因素如何加剧这些故障。利用社会技术系统理论结合的失效模式和效应分析，对尼泊尔两个生态区的384户家庭进行了实地调查。利用风险优先级数（RPN）从系统故障的角度对20种关键故障模式进行识别和排序。最关键的失效是厌氧消化条件不佳（RPN = 640）、混合不充分（RPN = 467）和稀释比例不合适（RPN = 403）。这些技术问题因社会经济障碍而加剧，如维修负担能力有限、与废物处理有关的社会文化耻辱以及安装后支助方面的体制缺陷。研究结果表明，基于绩效的补贴、用户培训、本地化设计改进和更强有力的维护服务对于维持家庭沼气的采用至关重要。虽然研究结果提供了对尼泊尔家庭沼气系统性能的诊断观点，但其影响延伸到国家在减缓温室气体排放、减少家庭空气污染、实现可持续发展目标和国家确定的贡献者目标方面的努力。

Food loss and waste (FLW) is a global challenge. Interoperable FLW ontologies will foster more comprehensive data sharing and inform better solutions to reduce and recover excess food and to valorize wasted food and food byproducts. This review reveals that only eight ontologies currently address FLW with most emphasizing valorization. Notably, few are designed explicitly to support FLW reduction, and none facilitate food recovery, which is critical given that reduction and recovery are the preferred means of mitigating FLW. Furthermore, existing FLW ontologies show limited alignment with recognized gold-standard frameworks, for example the Open Biological and Biomedical Ontology (OBO) Foundry, and none support ongoing connectivity to external ontologies, restricting their utility across stakeholder domains. Looking ahead, there is a pressing need to create or expand ontologies that adhere to best practices from relevant foundries to ensure robust linkage and interoperability and undergird structured data ecosystems that support food systems stakeholders in FLW prevention and mitigation. Achieving this goal will require active collaboration among a diverse range of stakeholders, including builders of food systems cyberinfrastructure, scientists, innovators, regulators, public and private funders, community-based organizations, policymakers, and international NGOs as each rely on critical ontological elements to inform decision-making, measure impact, and drive improvement across the food supply chain. Finally, large language models offer promising capabilities for expediting ontology creation, broadening inclusivity in ontology creation, and enhancing the accuracy of resulting data infrastructures.

粮食损失和浪费（FLW）是一个全球性挑战。可互操作的FLW本体将促进更全面的数据共享，并提供更好的解决方案，以减少和回收多余的食物，并对浪费的食物和食物副产品进行评估。这篇综述表明，目前只有8个本体处理FLW，其中最强调的是价值化。值得注意的是，很少有人明确设计支持减少粮食流失量，也没有人促进食物回收，这一点至关重要，因为减少和回收是减轻粮食流失量的首选手段。此外，现有的FLW本体与公认的金标准框架（例如开放生物和生物医学本体（OBO） Foundry）的一致性有限，并且没有一个支持与外部本体的持续连接，限制了它们在涉众领域的效用。展望未来，迫切需要创建或扩展符合相关代工厂最佳实践的本体，以确保强大的联系和互操作性，并构建结构化数据生态系统，支持食品系统利益相关者预防和缓解FLW。实现这一目标需要不同利益相关者之间的积极合作，包括食品系统网络基础设施的建设者、科学家、创新者、监管机构、公共和私人资助者、社区组织、政策制定者和国际非政府组织，因为每个利益相关者都依赖关键的本体论要素来为决策提供信息、衡量影响并推动整个食品供应链的改进。最后，大型语言模型为加速本体创建、扩大本体创建的包容性和提高结果数据基础设施的准确性提供了有前途的功能。

Understanding consumer behavior is crucial for promoting sustainability in an era of rapid technological advancement and environmental challenges. This study focuses on Japan and Germany. Drawing on data collected through an online survey conducted by a professional web survey company in early 2024, 600 participants were recruited (300 from each country). The analysis employed structural equation modeling (SEM) to examine the relationships between price consciousness, perceived knowledge, emotional attachment, perceived risk, and frugality, as well as their influence on long-term use intentions. The findings reveal that frugality significantly mediates these relationships, with notable cultural distinctions. In Japan, frugality aligns with cultural norms that emphasize resource conservation, thereby amplifying the impact of emotional attachment and perceived knowledge. In Germany, where trust in refurbished products is higher, frugality plays a less pivotal role, with technological reliability and innovation taking precedence. Perceived risks associated with refurbished smartphones negatively impact long-term use intentions in both countries, highlighting the need to address consumer concerns about quality and performance. Practical implications for businesses include designing durable, repairable products, offering extended warranties, and fostering emotional attachment through personalization. Policymakers are encouraged to support repairing infrastructure and enforce regulations ensuring fair access to restore resources. By leveraging SEM to analyze cross-cultural data, this study provides actionable insights for promoting sustainable practices, aligning with global efforts toward a circular economy.

了解消费者的行为是促进可持续发展的关键在一个时代的快速技术进步和环境挑战。本研究以日本和德国为研究对象。根据专业网络调查公司在2024年初进行的在线调查收集的数据，招募了600名参与者（每个国家300名）。采用结构方程模型（SEM）分析了价格意识、感知知识、情感依恋、感知风险和节俭之间的关系，以及它们对长期使用意愿的影响。研究结果表明，节俭显著地中介了这些关系，具有显著的文化差异。在日本，节俭与强调资源节约的文化规范相一致，从而放大了情感依恋和感知知识的影响。在德国，人们对翻新产品的信任度更高，节俭的作用不那么重要，技术可靠性和创新是优先考虑的。翻新智能手机的相关风险对两国消费者的长期使用意图产生了负面影响，这凸显了解决消费者对质量和性能担忧的必要性。对企业的实际影响包括设计耐用、可维修的产品、提供延长的保修期，以及通过个性化培养情感依恋。鼓励政策制定者支持修复基础设施，并执行法规，确保公平获取恢复资源。通过利用SEM分析跨文化数据，本研究为促进可持续实践提供了可行的见解，与全球朝着循环经济的努力保持一致。

Green building development has emerged as a pivotal strategy for achieving sustainability in China's rapidly evolving construction sector. This study examines the convergence of digital technologies, drivers, barriers, and promotional strategies that influence green building development in China, framed within the context of the diffusion of innovations theory. Employing a mixed-method approach comprising an extensive literature review, expert consultations, and a survey of 45 construction and green building experts, the study applies mean score ranking and t-test analyses to elucidate key factors shaping the implementation of green building development. Findings reveal that digital tools, such as building information modeling, energy management systems, and artificial intelligence-driven predictive analytics, significantly facilitate the diffusion of green building development by enhancing perceived relative advantages among stakeholders. Crucial drivers include environmental sustainability imperatives, government policies, and energy efficiency goals, while major barriers encompass high upfront costs, limited awareness, and resistance to change, especially among late adopters. Strategic promotional efforts, including government incentives, industry collaboration, and public awareness campaigns, emerge as vital communication channels that accelerate the diffusion process and foster wider acceptance. This research provides novel insights into the mechanisms underlying the adoption of green building development in China and offers practical recommendations for policymakers and industry leaders to enhance policy effectiveness and promote sustainable construction practices.
