“…ISM is an approach that is based on group judgement and consensus. A collaborative learning process is used in the ISM to structure a group of connected factors that impact the Small island sports tourism development system under investigation into a systematic system model (Badhotiya et al, 2021). The technique was first suggested by Warfield (1974).…”

PurposeThis paper aims to identify factors that affect the sports tourism destination's competitiveness on a small island. Hence, this study looks at and evaluates these factors. The study then comes up with a model that clarifies the interrelationships between these factors.Design/methodology/approachThe authors broke down the data analysis process into three steps. The first step was to conduct a literature review and use industry and academia experts' help to determine the essential aspects (fuzzy Delphi method). Then, a hierarchical model was developed, and the factors were categorised using the interpretive structural modelling (ISM) approach. Factors' driving and dependency power were also determined using MICMAC analysis.FindingsThis work has identified 13 key factors related to the sports tourism destination's competitiveness on a small island. For a small island like Kish Island, the two independent variables (government support and destination political stability) that define the institutional framework for the destination are most important. Building corresponding competitive and support strategies to address these two independent variables is thus beneficial.Research limitations/implicationsThe research's results provide decision-makers, practitioners, and researchers with new insights into the hierarchical model of determinants. The study will fill the existing gap between theory and practice.Practical implicationsSports tourism destination managers on small islands may benefit from the proposed model since the model will enable them to organise the managers' priorities better to enhance the managers' destinations' competitiveness and provide tourists with a more accurate depiction of the destination.Originality/valueAccording to the authors' knowledge, the research design presented in this article has provided the first attempt to hierarchical analyse these factors and develop a model for sports tourism destination competitiveness on small islands and destinations with less-developed economies. This study fills the gap in the destination competitiveness and sports tourism literature by not only identifying the key influencing factors but also examining the interactions between these factors and providing empirical evidence supporting their relationships.

“…Using renewable energy sources instead of fossil fuels in India will save US$8.43bn annually (IBEF, 2021). Likewise, developing solar power systems and adopting solar energy can reduce dependence on fossil fuel-based power plants (Badhotiya et al , 2020). The government’s economic incentives significantly influence the adoption of solar PV systems in residential areas (Sun et al , 2020).…”

“…But, in Indian geographical boundaries, studying the behavioral aspects of domestic consumers toward adopting RSPV systems for achieving carbon neutrality is mainly unexplored. Few studies have been conducted in the Indian energy market, but these are related to India’s growth and prospects in solar energy technologies (Irfan et al , 2020; Elavarasan, 2020), macro-level understanding and barriers (Debnath et al , 2022; Fathima et al , 2022; Badhotiya et al , 2020; Mangla et al , 2020; Dutt, 2020), technical aspects, i.e. technical design and assembly of solar study lamps (Arora et al , 2016) and design and evaluation of solar power plants in Rajasthan (Bishoyi and Sudhakar, 2017).…”

Purpose This study aims to examine the determinants of adoption intention toward the rooftop solar photovoltaic (RSPV) systems among residents of peri-urban villages of Gurugram, Haryana, India. This study also analyzes the impact of the adoption of RSPV systems on carbon neutrality from a behavioral perspective. Design/methodology/approach Data was collected using a self-administrated structured questionnaire from 208 male villagers (195 usable) of 22 villages using the purposive sampling technique. Findings Results revealed that relative advantage, followed by simplicity, trialability, observability and compatibility, positively and significantly impact villagers’ attitude toward adopting RSPV systems in their homes. Perceived severity and perceived vulnerability significantly influence the perceived behavioral control of villagers toward adopting the RSPV systems. The results show villagers’ attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control are the essential predictors of their adoption intention of the RSPV systems. Most notably, carbon neutrality was significantly affected by villagers’ adoption intention of RSPV systems as the renewable energy source in their homes. Originality/value The findings of this study provide that innovation attributes are important factors in shaping the adoption intentions of customers toward RSPV systems. This study is also the extent of previous studies measuring customers’ perception of adopting renewable energy in developed and emerging countries worldwide.
