“…Malik and Singhal (2017) argued that there is a connection between collectivist orientation and environmental attitudes and hence the adoption of eco-friendly products. Furthermore, Dalpian et al (2015) noted that culture has an influence on consumption behaviours and that this influence is critical in the context of sustainable consumption attitudes and behaviours. They added that collectivism has a significant moderating effect on the relationship between personal norms and intention to buy electric vehicles.…”

Eco-cars have been promoted as a viable solution to global environmental concerns and energy crises. This motivated the study to focus on establishing the effect of the motorists’ attitudes and culture orientations on their intention to adopt Eco-cars. A total of 384 motorists from Kampala City were taken using a two-stage sampling design including stratification between public and private motorists and convenience sampling within the strata. Primary data was collected using a structured questionnaire that was both self and interviewer administered. Data were analysed using correlation and regression analyses. The study revealed that motorists with a positive attitude especially regarding environmental conservation, and the possibility of easy access to facilitating conditions, like charging stations and their performance, were more ready to adopt Eco-cars. The motorists possessing a collectivist culture were more likely to adopt Eco-cars. Furthermore, the influence on adopting Eco-cars because of the motorist’s attitudes was found to be stronger among those with a collectivistic culture. In essence, motorists who felt accountable for their country’s agenda of environmental conservation and believed that their actions mattered regarding the concerns of the majority, were most likely to adopt Eco-cars. As such, both public and private players in the motor industry need to send out messages focusing on the communal benefits of driving an eco-car

“…The importance of targeting is reflected by the presence of two opposite consumer perceptions. For instance, some see cycling as a way of making their daily routine more human and sustainable, by preserving eye‐to‐eye contact and appreciating city landscapes (Dalpian et al, 2014). For others, the physical effort required to ride a bicycle is seen as an obstacle to the adoption of this way of commuting (McKenzie, 2020).…”

This study explores consumers' behaviour regarding sustainable mobility options. A mixed‐methods approach was adopted to examine the impact of bio‐altruistic values, egoistic values, environmental attitudes, attitudes regarding sustainable mobility, perceived behavioural control and subjective norms on the likelihood of choosing sustainable mobility options. To collect the data, an online survey was applied to a sample of 645 Portuguese consumers, which included one single non‐mandatory open‐ended question to understand which factors could contribute to increase respondents' likelihood to choose more sustainable transport modes. As most studies in the mobility field are quantitative, combining both quantitative and qualitative data provided a greater in‐depth analysis with richer findings. Firstly, findings revealed that attitudes towards sustainable mobility, subjective norms, perceived behaviour control, and egoistic values influence the likelihood of choosing sustainable mobility options. However, environmental attitudes, altruistic and biospheric values do not impact this choice. Secondly, consumers highlight that the existence of a broad public transport network, safe bicycle lanes, and accessible prices would contribute to their likelihood of adopting more sustainable mobility behaviours. The content analysis of 402 answers allowed to discover new dimensions that influence sustainable mobility behaviour, such as safety, respect towards bicycle users, mindset adjustment, willpower, and especially physical efforts associated with long distances, bad weather, orography, and the difficulty to transport materials or other people. Based on both quantitative and qualitative findings, the paper provides key recommendations for politicians, urban planners, and transport organisations, that according to respondents, would contribute to increase their use of sustainable mobility.

A holistic approach to understanding the acceptance of a community‐based renewable energy project: A pathway to sustainability for Tunisia's rural region

While there is an increased need to streamline the deployment of sustainable energy projects and high public advocacy for their implementation, projects of this type are often met with public opposition once proposed in a local context. Even although several attempts have been advanced to explain this attitude‐behaviour dissension, these explanations remain partial in how they cover the local opposition issue. There is, in fact, a dearth of research investigating in an integrative way the underlying motivations and/or obstacles for local acceptance. Based on a case study of wind energy using triangulation among a variety of different sources of data from the stakeholders involved, this study aims to uncover how the acceptance of sustainable projects emerges in community contexts. Findings reveal the barriers and motivational factors behind the acceptance of sustainable projects that managers must integrate in their business strategies in the hope of successfully initiating and sustaining behaviour‐change programmes.
