A Step Towards Sustainable Development: Can Electronic Media Fosters Sustainable Consumption Behavior?

It traces the development of the latest trends for the Study of the development of sustainable tourism inUkraine, as well as the conditions and means of effective inclusion ofUkrainein the international tourism market on the basis of the concept of sustainable tourism. Analysis of research areas and approaches to the study of sustainable tourism development inUkraine. The basic perspective of Ukrainian scientific community for the development and importance of tourism inUkraine. InUkraine, the issue of sustainable development is discussed since1992. Asignificant scientific achievements that laid the basis for the new benchmark of the country on the basis of a post-industrial economy. The issue of the nature and principles of the main factors of melting of the tourism industry dedicated to the research of V. G Gerasimenko, O. Dobrovolsky, G. A Zayachkovskoyi, G. V. Kazachkovska, A. Litvinova, N. D. Sviridova, D. I. Ostap'yuk, T. I. Tkachenko et al. Scientific basis of the national strategy forUkraine's transition to sustainable development principles are based on the peculiar state of geopolitical, geographical, demographic, socioeconomic, and environmental features. For the development of tourism industry ofUkraineon the basis of sustainable tourism as there is a need to develop new and innovative approaches.One of the main research areas among Ukrainian scientists was to develop the concept of sustainable tourism development. Under the concept of sustainable tourism development means a system of ideas that defines a common plan of development policy area. A. V. Litvinova main elements of the concept of sustainable tourism development in Ukraine considers the methods and tools of government regulation that need to be harmonized with indicators of sustainable tourism. Platform for developing a sustainable production is a tourism product , sustainable lifestyle of local communities and sustainable consumption. And according N. D. Sviridova , this concept must take into account all the strategic priorities and objectives of tourism development are important areas and facilities set goals. The concept should be fully reflective of the position of the region on the strategy of tourism development in the long term and include specific measures for its implementation. GV Kazachkovska in turn believes that the sustainable development of tourism and resort areas is possible when there is a balance between the preservation of natural, historical and cultural resources, economic interests, social needs and development of tourism, and provided favorable conditions for the formation of high-quality national tourist product. Among the fundamental work on the development of sustainable tourism inUkraineshould provide monograph T.I. Tkachenko. The book on a wide source base covers theoretical, methodological and applied problems of tourism development on the basis of dialectical, system and functional approaches. The necessity of consideration of tourism as a complex system in the unity of the social, economic and environmental components, the genesis of which is further based on the concept of sustainability. Committed to sustainable development of the country and its regions imposes a set of requirements to the existing quality of the environment and address the problem of interaction between nature and society. The concept of sustainable development, including the region determines the relevance of such a system that would ensure a balanced model of relations between environment, different types of economic activities and socio- economic interests of different groups. Therefore, a number of studies approaches to strategy development recreational region considering the environmental component . This study G.M. Aleinikova, N .M. Wetrovoj, O. Hulych et al. Of great importance for the development of sustainable tourism has an active policy. This includes support and development of tourism industry, the development of tourism infrastructure , creating conditions for increasing the attractiveness of regions for foreign and domestic tourists , improving the quality of tourism services , ensuring their complexity. Investigation of the role of government in regulating the tourism industry is the subject of research by many local scientists. Key aspects of the formation and functioning of state regulation of the tourism industry, the development and improvement of its study areas reflected in the scientific works of local scientists such as A. V. Vinogradov, L. Donchenko, K.V. Zhadko, S. G. Zakharov, A. H. Ilyashenko, Y. Kozlovsky, O. Melnichenko, N. I. Ostap'yuk and others. Thus we can note that recently in Ukrainian society considered all possible implementation strategies for sustainable tourism development. In particular, reveals strategic goals of sustainable development businesses in the tourism sector. The economic and social feasibility of ecotourism technologies for sustainable development of the tourism industry, geographic grounded approach to recreation and tourism of nature, the conceptual foundations of a market mechanism for managing recreational potential. Almost all scientists agree that the sustainable development of tourism inUkrainemust improve the use of resources, training of personnel in the tourism industry, transport infrastructure, reduce seasonality and spatial disparity in the distribution of tourists increase the financial performance of the tourism industry, to give a significant attention to the relationship between environmental management and sustainable tourism, etc.

Sustaining Nothing: Untranslatable Material in Beckett's <i>Worstward Ho</i>

Systematic research and comprehensive analyses allow to monitor the implementation of the sustainable development goals. Obviously, when you are interested in the selected issue of sustainable development, it is worth using data from the secondary sources in the first place. This e-book presents a few selected methods that will allow you to answer the questions: how to gather data and how to analyse them? Among the data collection methods presented in this book, we have chosen both: qualitative, in particular focus group interview, and quantitative—based on a questionnaire. In terms of data analysis methods, we present three methods: factor analysis, structural equation modelling and data envelopment analysis. The examples presented in this book relate to sustainable development, for example: sustainable consumption, ecological culture, better nutrition, agricultural development and many more. The book consists of five chapters. Chapter 1 “Qualitative methods” presents the issues concerning the methodology of qualitative research, designing a focus group interview, conducting a focus group interview and analysis of qualitative data using the CAQDAS programs. The main goal of Chapter 2 titled “Quantitative methods” is to exhibit the basics of survey research that can be used in analyses of sustainable development. In particular, this part presents the measurement levels, questionnaire design, population and sample, and the ways of presenting the results of quantitative research. Chapter 3 “Factor analysis in sustainable development research” describes the basic theoretical aspects of factor analysis. The second part of this chapter presents an example of the use of this method in research on sustainable consumption. The last part of this chapter presents case study of the use of factor analysis in research on managers’ ethics in retail industry. Chapter 4 titled “Structural equation modelling in sustainable development research” is dedicated to the structural equation modeling methods applied to solve sustainable development research problems. A structural equation model is an abstraction of reality, and the researcher's job is to build a model that approximates that reality as closely as possible. And the aim of Chapter 5 “Data envelopment analysis methods in sustainable agricultural development research” is to determine the relative technical efficiency of representative agricultural farms from the individual European Union countries.

The term sustainable consumption is not only a behavior type in marketing and a just consumption behavior, it is more than this. Sustainable or responsible consumption behavior can change the world. Sustainable consumption concept has been investigated widely in the literature and factors that effecting sustainable consumption or being a green consumer has been investigated recently, too. But the relationship between sustainable development and consumer behavior isn't investigated sufficiently. After 2030 Sustainable Development Goals set up, responsibilities and roles have been an important issue to achieve sustainable development in the long term. In this point, this study aims to investigate the consumer role for sustainable development goals through sustainable consumption patterns and trends.

PurposeThis study proposes and empirically tests the hypothesis that most consumers differ significantly in how accurately they express knowledge about what experts define as indicators of fashion sustainability behavior.Design/methodology/approachSustainability discipline scholars (i.e., experts) provide the following two examples of accurate sustainability knowledge: (1) Sustainable-fashion manufacturers ensure safe working conditions for their employees; (2) fibers such as wool can be commercially recycled. In the current study, 85% of participants in separate samples of Chinese (n = 244) and Korean (n = 214) adults provide incorrect answers to the two statements, contradicting experts' beliefs. The study here develops and tests a general, asymmetric predictive, case-based theory of simple and complex antecedent conditions and outcomes for consumers with correct or incorrect knowledge of fashion sustainability behavior for fashion products.FindingsAccording to the study consumers who have a high level of knowledge about sustainable fashion consistently have high purchase intentions for these products. On the contrary, consumers with insuffient knowledge of sustainable-fashion have low purchase intentions.Research limitations/implicationsThe analysis emphasizes the importance of government policy in encouraging important-term consumer behavior. Government policy has a direct and indirect impact on sustainable consumer behavior.Practical implicationsThis study's practical contribution is that it amphasizes the important role of government policy in encouraging sustainable consumer behavior (Perez-Castillo and Vera-Martinez, 2021). Government policy both directly and indirectly influences sustainable consumer behavior. Understanding consumers' consumption behavior as influenced by knowledge of sustainable development allows policymakers to develop more targeted policy measures, thereby promoting the achievement of sustainable development goals. For example, incorporating sustainable issues into the school curriculum can encourage students to practice sustainable behavior when purchasing, using, or disposing of products. People may require encouragement to understand why sustainable development is necessary, how to facilitate it, what the expected effects are and how it will affect their lives.Social implicationsKnowledge of sustainable development, as well as consumer behavior research, can help improve consumer environmental awareness and understanding of sustainable development, guiding them towards greener and more environmentally friendly consumption habits. Understanding consumers' reactions to knowledge of sustainable development and subsequent changes in their consumption behavior guides businesses to engage in green product design, green production and green marketing, thus improving their competitiveness and market share (Rynarzewska et al., 2023). Some countries around the world are working hard to meet their sustainable development goals. By comparing consumer consumption behavior in different countries under the influence of knowledge on sustainable development consumer can share experiences and practices, strengthen international cooperation and communication and promote the global sustainable development process collaboratively.Originality/valueThe current study contributes by looking into the validity of the claim that consumers who have accurate sustainable fashion knowledge are more likely to purchase brands with high sustainability characteristics.

Sustainable energy development: History of the concept and emerging themes

Summary. The article examines the achievements and priorities in the field of sustainable development of the European Union member states by 2030 and its main goals. Progress in achieving the sustainable development goals is analyzed in the context of the impact on the economies of the EU member states. The directions of transformation of the EU economy as a world leader for a sustainable future within the framework of the European Green Deal are identified. The global system of economic indicators used to monitor the implementation of the sustainable development goals of the European Union member states is studied. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its seventeen goals, adopted by the United Nations, are the global roadmap for achieving sustainable development in the context of globalized economic processes. The European Union is fully committed to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and the Sustainable Development Goals are an integral part of the European Commission's work program. Sustainable economic development is characterized by the efficient use of natural resources, rational investment, technological development, and institutional changes or reforms that increase both current and future economic potential to meet the needs of society. Achieving sustainability is the dominant economic, environmental, and social objective of sustainable economic development. Economic development without sustainability is not effective in the long run. Keywords: sustainable development goals, global partnership, economies of the European Union member states, economic policy, resources, global indicator system, innovation, infrastructure, socio-economic stability, sustainable consumption and production.

This edited book entitled 'The International Service Marketing in the Context of Sustainable Development' is the culmination of the international research sym- posium on service management (IRSSM-11) a distinguished event that tran- spired in June 2023. Themed 'The Role of Service in the Sustainability and Wellbeing of Society', this symposium provided a forum for those who have a special interest in service research and practice and was held at the University of Economics in Katowice, Poland. The symposium served as a unique platform for the exchange of ideas, the exploration of cutting-edge theories, and the anal- ysis of contemporary practices within the dynamic service-driven economies, all in pursuit of the vital goal of sustainable development. In the interconnected marketplace of the twenty-first century, service has emerged as a pivotal element in the economic landscapes of nations and busi- nesses alike. This new era of interconnectivity has created transformative chang- es on both industries and consumer experiences. Hence, the global advancement of service knowledge and practices becomes an imperative mission, inspiring the next generation of service researchers, educators, and practitioners to champion sustainability in their endeavors. Sustainability, in the context of service economies, has grown progressively more crucial, with its own set of unique challenges and opportunities. Many service enterprises bear a significant environmental footprint, whether in the form of energy consumption, waste generation, or other facets. Therefore, the adoption of sustainable practices by service firms holds not just the promise of operational cost reductions but also the potential to minimize their ecological impact, thereby aligning business objectives with the preservation of our natural resources. Indeed, this forms a synergistic, win-win strategy, offering mutual benefits to businesses and the environment. In the days to come, enterprises that invest in sustainable practices and innovative business models will gain a sub- stantial competitive edge. Sustainable innovations have the potential to open new markets, create novel revenue streams, and elevate the overall quality of services rendered. In essence, sustainable practices stand as the linchpin for en- suring the long-term viability of service-based economies. This book facilitates a harmonious convergence of the insights of distin- guished scholars and practitioners who have written their chapters drawing pri- marily on three interconnected perspectives on sustainability and consumption. While some authors examine their chapters through the lens of environmental sustainability, others focus on the aspect of ensuring the long-term sustainability of companies and enterprises, while others tackle the important topic of consum- er behavior and sustainable consumption. The core philosophy is that companies with enduring visions and plans inevitably contribute to the sustainability of not only their own enterprise, but also the well-being of their customers, employees, the environment, society, and the planet as a whole. In turn, consumers declare that they are implementing the principles of sustainable consumption in their households, although actual behavior still requires greater commitment. Entire publication is divided into four parts and contains selected chapters related to different aspects of service management from perspective of sustaina- ble development and in context of different countries. First part provides inside to sustainability and sustainable development in services sector. Second one present selected aspects of management challenges in services sector. Part three is focus on consumer behavior and structure of consumption in context of sus- tainability goals. And finally last part in chapters related to sustainable develop- ment in different service business. The book doesn't cover all the important problems and issues of sustainable development in services sectors. It allows, however, preparing their identification, presenting the importance and role of service business in developing sustainable economy. We extend our heartfelt congratulations and gratitude to all those who have enriched this edited book with their contributions, and we invite you to join us in celebrating their collective effort. In doing so, you will delve into the authentic essence of 'service' and the pivotal role it plays in ushering in a more sustainable future.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to explore Generation Z (Gen Z) consumers’ sustainable consumption behaviors at a university campus by examining various antecedent and moderating influencers of their sustainable consumption behaviors.Design/methodology/approachA quantitative research methodology is used in this study. A structured questionnaire was administered (n = 279) to young college students (Gen Z consumers in the context of this study) enrolled at a large state university in the USA. The structural equation model was used to test the hypothesized relationships in the conceptualized model.FindingsStudy findings show that social responsibility (feelings, engagement and expectations) and external incentives (material and social) positively influence Gen Z consumers’ sustainability interests, which in turn influences their sustainable consumption behaviors (actions). Collectivist cultural values did not appear to have any statistically significant effect on Gen Z consumers’ sustainable consumption interests. Moreover, learned helplessness, perceived barriers and the awareness of the consequences of sustainability consumption actions did not have any significant moderating effect on Gen Z consumers’ sustainable consumption behavior.Research limitations/implicationsThe questionnaire was only sent to students majoring in business degrees, which may limit the generalizability of this study to broader Gen Z consumer populations. Expanding this study to include non-business students may be valuable as a next step. Replicating this study in different cultural environments of international countries could enhance the relationships identified in this study.Practical implicationsConsumer social responsibility education along with material and social incentives will encourage Gen Z consumers’ participation in sustainable behaviors at college campuses.Originality/valueThis research provides valuable insights into understanding the importance of consumer social responsibility and external incentives in influencing Gen Z consumers’ sustainable consumption intentions and behaviors. Accordingly, consumer social responsibility education and incentive programs need to be developed to encourage the participation of Gen Z consumers in sustainable consumption.

The knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of teachers and pre-service teachers about sustainable development will affect their implementation of sustainable development (SD) education in their classrooms. From this point of view, in this study, pre-service teachers' knowledge of sustainable development goals (SDGs), the sources of this knowledge and their sustainable consumption behaviors (SCBs) were determined as a product of the project supported by Tubitak 2209-A. Survey model was used and data were collected from a total of 1028 pre-service teachers studying in 8 different undergraduate programs at a Faculty of Education. Data collection tools; Sustainable Development Goals Knowledge questions and Sustainable Consumption Behaviors Scale. The data were analyzed using chi-square test of independence and ANOVA. Pre-service teachers' SDGs knowledge levels are low and differs according to gender at low effect size. The knowledge levels of pre-service primary teachers and psychological counseling and guidance teachers are statistically significantly higher than those of pre-service teachers in all other branches. The SDG knowledge scores of pre-service teachers statistically differed between the ones who complete the "Sustainable Development and Education" course and those who not completed, however their consumption behaviors did not differ between them. The SCBs of female pre-service teachers are significantly higher than males in the reuse sub-dimension. A differentiation in the sub-dimensions of pre-service teachers' SCBs is determined according to some of their departments. Based on the findings, it can be suggested that "SD and Education" course should be a must-course in all teacher training programs in order to increase pre-service teachers' knowledge of SDGs and to develop SCBs.

Chapter 3 - Greening behavior toward sustainable development

There are many different uses of the term sustainability as well as its derivatives, such as social sustainability, environmental sustainability, sustainable development, sustainable living, sustainable future, and many others. Literally, the word sustainability means the capacity to support, maintain or endure; it can indicate both a goal and a process. In ecology, sustainability describes how biological systems remain diverse, robust, resilient and productive over time, a necessary precondition for the well-being of humans and other species. As the environment and social equality became increasingly important as a world issue, sustainability was adopted as a common political goal.&#13;\n&#13;\nThe concept of sustainability the way most of us use it today emerged in the 1960s in response to concern about environmental degradation. This degradation was seen by some to result from the consequences of industrial development, increase in consumption and population growth and by others as poor resource management or the result of underdevelopment and poverty. Sustainability was linked to ethical concerns, typically involving a commitment to justice between generations involving issues such as equal distribution of wealth, working conditions and human rights, and possibly between humans and nonhumans, as discussed in chapters of Robert Garner, Holmes Rolston III and Haydn Washington.&#13;\n&#13;\nWe can distinguish between different types of sustainability, for example between social (in terms of promoting equality, health, human rights), economic (in terms of sustaining people’s welfare, equitable division of resources) and environmental (in terms of sustaining nature or natural resources for humans and for nonhuman species) sustainability, as well as combinations of them. The study of sustainability involves multidisciplinary approaches, anthropology, political ecology, philosophy and ethics and environmental science. This type of multidisciplinary combination enables us to explore this new form of institutionalized sustainability science in a neoliberal age of environmental knowledge production and sustainability practice.&#13;\n&#13;\nThis is an Accepted Manuscript of a book chapter published by Routledge/CRC Press in "Sustainability: Key Issues" on 07/19/15, available online: https://doi.org/10.4324/9780203109496&#13;\n&#13;\nLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/helenkopnina/
