“…The authors found that drone acceptance increases if people perceive drone delivery to be useful and if they trust the service provider. This is consistent with the notion that perceived usefulness is the strongest mediator on acceptance of UAM, as stated by Yavas and Tez [37].…”

Attitudes towards Urban Air Mobility for E-Commerce Deliveries: An Exploratory Survey Comparing European Regions

et al. 2023

This study explores attitudes towards urban air mobility (UAM) for e-commerce deliveries. UAM, which utilizes drones, has the potential to revolutionize transport services and logistics, leading to economic benefits and reductions in congestion and pollution. However, public acceptance is crucial for a successful implementation; thus, understanding the people’s perspective is key. Descriptive statistics were employed to evaluate survey results from three different European regions, followed by a cluster analysis to define potential user profiles. This study revealed slightly different perceptions towards UAM between the analyzed regions, but also a generally positive attitude. The most important expected identified benefits from UAM were a decrease in congestion and pollution in city centers. High-acceptance segments are gender-balanced and correspond mostly to active population and frequent online shoppers that perceive value in drone deliveries, especially related to an increased convenience and speed. They support public investment in UAM and are willing to pay more for these services and to have their home flown over. Opposite attitudes were expressed by low-acceptance segments, which are female-dominated and include mostly non-frequent online shoppers. The identified user profiles in this study can support the development of public policy and marketing strategies to increase acceptance and adoption.

“…Tourists' SN significantly influences their EC, similar to findings by Abou Kamar [39], which may be related to personal values and collectivism [110,111]. When individuals are among a group with similar values, they tend to align their behavior with the collective, while EC significantly affects HM, indicating that environmentally conscious tourists experience greater enjoyment when destinations advocate sustainable development, consistent with Yavas's [52] findings. As demonstrated in studies by TEZ et al [19] and Emekci [40], individuals with environmental awareness are more likely to engage in environmentally conscious behaviors.…”

“…Over the past few decades, numerous studies have sought to elucidate EC [88,89]. In the context of AAM, EC is defined as participants' environmental awareness in terms of the AAM system and is defined as individuals' tendency to use the AAM system to support environmental sustainability [52]. Some studies [81,82] demonstrate that EC significantly influences users' perceived usefulness of eVTOLs.…”

Tourist destinations thrive on sustainable development. Electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, representing energy-efficient advancements in aviation that are pivotal to advanced air mobility (AAM), have garnered attention. Yet, the discourse on eVTOLs’ role in tourism remains scant. This study, drawing from 450 samples in the Mogan Mountain Scenic Area, introduces the AAM-tourism acceptance model (ATAM). It integrates the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and technology acceptance model (TAM) theoretical frameworks, incorporating environmental consciousness, perceived safety, hedonic motivation, and personal innovativeness, assessing their influence on tourists’ eVTOL usage intention through a structural equation model (SEM). The results reveal that environmental consciousness significantly impacts hedonic motivation and perceived usefulness, driving eVTOL adoption. Furthermore, personal innovativeness influences intention through hedonic motivation and perceived behavioral control. Therefore, environmental consciousness and hedonic motivation align deeply with eVTOL attributes, both significantly positively influencing intention to use. Thus, the study validates eVTOL’s viability in tourism and its potential for sectoral expansion. Moreover, it offers insights into how psychological factors shape eVTOL adoption, guiding the promotion of eVTOL sightseeing services and informing research on AAM acceptance across various domains.
