“…We gathered the relevant evidence from three types of sources: academic articles, doctoral theses and grey sources as defined by (Adams, et al, 2017; Green et al, 2006; Hiebl, 2021; Rojon et al, 2021). These have been purposively selected based on the results of two bibliometric analyses (Ulucak et al, 2021; Xiao et al, 2021) to which we added relevant sources based on our personal knowledge of the field after more than 5 years of involvement in a large scientific and expertise network in the field of energy poverty. To enable satisfactory insight and relevance of results, we applied a number of selection criteria, such as diversity of qualitative methods employed, of targeted population and of contexts.…”

Energy poverty is an endemic phenomenon affecting millions of households around the world. An abundant literature, employing various single or combined methods, is dedicated to understanding its causes, symptoms, and the lived experiences of these households. This article explores the challenges raised when implementing qualitative research on energy poor households. We analyse a set of 33 research outputs - academic papers and reports - to identify methodological challenges raised by researchers and their possible resolves. By discussing the difficulties related to the operationalization of the concept of energy poverty, those linked to identifying and engaging energy poor households in research, or to the complex nature of their vulnerabilities, the study aims to develop a grounded theory articulated on the narrative of the findings and provide guidance for future qualitative work on energy poverty performed by researchers and stakeholders involved in alleviating it.

“…It can retrieve more comprehensive literature compared with the others. A number of scholars use the WOS database as the data source for literature analysis [74,75]. Secondly, WOS provides a guarantee for the reliability of raw data in the visual analysis given its long time span and the quantity and quality of entries.…”

Research Progress of Urban Floods under Climate Change and Urbanization: A Scientometric Analysis

Urban floods research has been attracting extensive attention with the increasing threat of flood risk and environmental hazards due to global climate change and urbanization. However, there is rarely a comprehensive review of this field and it remains unclear how the research topics on urban floods have evolved. In this study, we analyzed the development of urban floods research and explored the hotspots and frontiers of this field by scientific knowledge mapping. In total, 3314 published articles from 2006 to 2021 were analyzed. The results suggest that the number of published articles in the field of urban floods generally has an upward trend year by year, and the research focus has shifted from exploring hydrological processes to adopting advanced management measures to solve urban flood problems. Moreover, urban stormwater management and low impact development in the context of climate change and urbanization have gradually become research hotspots. Future research directions based on the status and trends of the urban floods field were also discussed. This research can not only inspire other researchers and policymakers, but also demonstrates the effectiveness of scientific knowledge mapping analysis by the use of the software CiteSpace and VOSviewer.

“…More importantly, consumption-based carbon dioxide emissions make more sense in terms of the consumption side of an economy and are more related to consumers rather than the production sector. Income inequality is also an essential driver of energy poverty, a multi-dimensional sustainability issue that triggers improper material use with more pollution for heating and other basic needs (Ulucak et al, 2021). Previously, attention has been paid to the direct emission of CO 2 emitted by each country.…”

Although many studies have been conducted on the role of renewable energy in the environment, literature has ignored the potential role of socioeconomic indicators in renewable energy and pollution nexus. Also, critical questions arose with the critical factors, such as income inequality and economic complexity, have not been answered properly. This study explores the nexus between income inequality, economic complexity, renewable energy consumption, GDP per capita, and pollution and thus aims to reach efficient policy strategies by revealing empirical evidence. The study follows an environmental impact model structure and conducts the panel-corrected standard errors and fixed effect regression. BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) are selected to conduct our research. Annual data covering the period 1990–2017 for the sample countries are employed. Consumption-based carbon dioxide emissions as an indicator of environmental pollution are used since income inequality makes more sense in terms of the consumption side of an economy and is more related to consumers rather than the production sector. The obtained results reveal that income inequality has a positive and significant impact on consumption-based carbon dioxide emissions. However, GDP per capita, renewable energy, and economic complexity reduce pollution. It is also observed that the interaction term of inequality and renewable energy decreases emissions. Findings confirm that socioeconomic indicators, such as economic complexity and income inequality with the interaction of renewable energy, are crucial factors in reducing emissions and designing a greener future.
