It is being increasingly acknowledged, in both the IS and sustainability literature that the greatest opportunity for “green” information systems is in the reduction of energy consumption and associated green house gases through the optimal design of supply and demand networks. This paper reports the findings of a multiple case study investigation into how a comparatively new green IS framework...

Bulk group of rural households, dependency on insufficient and poor quality energy sources are the features of Indian energy consumption pattern. Sustainability is the move towards the growth and development of India. Solar Energy is one of the renowned sectors to support the sustainability of India. Solar energy has giant potential in India due to its position in tropical belt. This paper deal...

The rapid development of urban ‘sprawl’ surrounding many North American cities has many potentially detrimental effects including enhanced energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from increasing private vehicle use. Over the past 5 years in Canada a number of studies have been undertaken to address transportation-related energy consumption with the view to formulating relevant policies ...

This editorial will introduce a set of seven articles appearing in this Special Issue on Pan American biofuel and bioenergy sustainability. We will discuss the importance of sustainability in biofuel and bioenergy development and rationale for a focus on the Pan American region. These articles are one outcome of a US National Science Foundation-funded project, and we will list the project goal,...

The rapid pace of urbanization all over the world and growth motorization have led to an unsustainable transport system. Karachi is a city suffering from same phase urbanization. This article aims assess sustainability city’s existing transportation system economically, socially, environmentally degree motorization. Data was collected through field surveys conducted in 2020 which include 15 hou...

A mixed transportation network design problem considering sustainable development was studied in this paper. Based on the discretization of continuous link-grade decision variables, a bilevel programming model was proposed to describe the problem, in which sustainability factors, including vehicle exhaust emissions, land-use scale, link load, and financial budget, are considered. The objective ...
