The organizations ensure that the health and safety of their workers, suppliers, and all stakeholders will combat with competitive sprain hauled by the avid pandemic.…”

History records show that pandemics and threats have always given new directions to the thinking, working, and learning styles. This article attempts to thoroughly document the positive core of coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) and its impact on global social psychology, ecological stability, and development. Structural equation modeling (SEM) is used to test the hypotheses and comprehend the objectives of the study. The findings of the study reveals that the path coefficients for the variables health consciousness, naturalism, financial impact and self-development, sustainability, compassion, gregariousness, sympathy, and cooperation demonstrate that the factors have a positive and significant effect on COVID-19 prevention. Moreover, the content analysis was conducted on recently published reports, blog content, newspapers, and social media. The pieces of evidence from history have been cited to justify the perspective. Furthermore, to appraise the opinions of professionals of different walks of life, an online survey was conducted, and results were discussed with expert medical professionals. Outcomes establish that the pandemics give birth to creativity, instigate innovations, prompt inventions, establish human ties, and foster altruistic elements of compassion and emotionalism.

“…This means that special attention is necessary when defining social policies to address EP, as this process can no longer be solely focused on technology [94]. These polices should not only include financial support but also social attendance (for instance, formation and information), which would improve their understanding of how to effectively manage the measures that are being provided [46,78]. As these vulnerable groups mainly comprise elderly and single-mother households in Japan, they may require further support with their day-to-day activities, relating to domestic energy services use [37,81].…”

“…Furthermore, the results showed that there is no linear relationship between the desire to progress in the energy ladder (i.e. consumers will move to a more advanced energy system as their incomes increase [77]) and receiving a solar home system free of cost, suggesting that it is not only a matter of providing free access to better energy systems but a matter of social awareness and people's engagement [37,78]. Chapman and Okushima [13] argued that the Japanese government should promote the use of solar panels, or solar energy itself, for the benefit of households in EP in order to engender an inclusive low-carbon energy transition.…”

“…In this respect, it could be stated that an increased use of HEMS (by making it affordable and accessible for the most vulnerable groups) would enable households in EP to reduce their energy consumption and bills and, consequently, improve their empowerment. However, this must be implemented along with effective information and communication strategies that address the lack of willingness to adopt such new systems among elderly and groups with low educational levels [37,78].…”

Energy poverty, defined as the inability to fulfil adequate levels of domestic energy services, has been analysed in Japan previously. However, neither policy agendas nor official definitions of energy poverty have been established yet, resulting in the neglect of energy-poor households and other relevant aspects of this issue. This study is the first to examine the contextual factors of energy poverty in Japan, through the perspective of energy poverty vulnerabilities. The study uses a new multidimensional approach, covering the issues of affordability and accessibility to different forms of energy, as well as the effects of new technologies on the risk of energy poverty. The study develops several unexplored issues in previous literature, such as access to low-carbon energy as an issue in developed countries. The results highlight the role of location, infrastructure and household characteristics in influencing the risk of suffering energy poverty in Japan. The seasonality of energy poverty in Japan is also analysed, revealing higher rates of energy poverty in the northern regions during winter and in the southernmost region during summer. Finally, the impact of the ongoing energy transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy on energy poverty is discussed.

“…Increased use of digital payments by businesses and customers and the fact that many people worked from home increased the strain on Internet services. This allowed many organizations and consumers to enter the online and digital markets for the first time, while others used the circumstance to bolster their online presence (Chen et al 2021a ).…”

This study seeks to granularly document the fundamental aspects of the pandemic and its effect on the global scale and environmental steadiness. Structural equation modeling (SEM) is therefore utilized to analyze these constructs. The study results show that the pathway coefficient for the parameters, such as health awareness, naturalism, mediation, personal development, sustainability, sociability, empathy, and cooperation, illustrates that the parameters directly impact pandemic control and management. At the same time, the lockdown and social distance rules attain dire consequences on the “conventional” retail property sector. It might speed up the evolution procedure of different conduits retail plus the channel coupling performance of physical stores and, hence, cause changes in urban areas–retail sector. The pandemic isn’t necessarily leading to the shutdown of retail stores. Nonetheless, it might have a meaningful effect on the retail estate enterprise business. The results show a requirement for the rapid physical shop repositioning performance of different channels firms. The study presents a meaningful understanding and demonstrates many consequences for the retailers, Landlords, and equally policy crafting components tackling urban regeneration plus local economic advancement within the post-covid phase.
