“…The results showed a dominant technocentric approach relying on ICT intervention and behaviour automation measures. This coincides with the SSC's sustainability being realised through urban datafication [50], which entails individual or community-level "data acquisition" on behaviours. Data collected through technology-based management systems help inform city administration decision-makers in updating policies, guidelines, and urban design towards city sustainability plans.…”

Sustainable smart cities (SSCs) target decarbonisation by optimising energy consumption through the emerging capabilities of technology. Nevertheless, the energy consumption behaviour of end users has the potential to compromise the effectiveness of technological interventions, reflecting the importance of active social engagement in realising decarbonisation goals. Although extensive research exists on energy consumption behaviour, little is known about how technology engagement affects it, the nature of these technologies, and their role in SSC. The paper aims to identify, categorise, and investigate the smart technologies that impact household energy consumption behaviours and their integration into the larger SSC system. Following a systematic review of 60 articles from the Scopus database (2013–2023), the study found 45 smart technologies cited, with 49% affecting efficiency behaviour and 51% affecting curtailment behaviour. While these technologies inform the city administration level in the SSC framework, the role of end users remains unclear, suggesting a technocratic approach. The study proposes the Sustainable Smart City Network to facilitate a grassroots approach, identifying five key domains: government policies, smart technology adoption, smart technology engagement, smart city infrastructure, and urban sustainability. The study provides an original contribution to knowledge by unveiling the key technologies affecting energy consumption behaviour and outlining the pragmatic requirements for achieving decarbonisation through a grassroots approach.

“…Previous studies lack in-depth discussion on the relationship between different consumer life styles and user demands. The existing research on life style mainly focuses on smart cities, health care, education system, and other fields [28][29][30][31][32][33], the research related to environmental protection issues mainly focuses on the ways to improve energy use in life style [34][35][36] and lacks research on the impact of consumer life styles on demand for green transportation options. Therefore, this study used life style preferences as a disturbance variable to explore differences in purchasing decisions and use demands due to that result in market segmentation.…”

With the development and popularization of the concept of a sustainable environment, the green energy industry represented by electric scooters has entered a vigorous development period. However, consumers are reluctant to buy electric scooters, resulting in low sales, which is limiting the development of the electric scooter industry. Therefore, from the perspective of different consumer life styles, this study explored the impact on the purchasing decisions and user demands, so as to inform design strategy for the development of a sustainable electric scooter industry. This study adopted the methods of expert interview and questionnaire survey, used the self-made consumer life style and electric scooter product attribute scale as the research tool, and carried out quantitative analysis with the help of statistical software. It showed that compared with consumers’ awareness of environmental protection, product performance is the key factor that attracts consumers to buy electric scooters, More than consumers’ awareness of environmental protection, our study showed that product performance is the primary determinate of a consumers’s decision to purchase electric scooters. The consumer of the electric scooter can be categorized into three life style groups: “brand-conscious group”, “environmental and cost saving group” and “trendy adventurers group”. Outside of the “environmental and cost savings” group, the least important attribute that drive purchasing decisions was environmental sustainability. This can also inform more effective governmental policies and education to promote greater environmental protection. Each life style consumer group prioritizes different product attributes; therefore, electric scooter manufacturers should view each group as distinct market segments and draw up different product design and marketing strategies.
