While consumers often intend to shop more sustainably, food shopping decision-making is complex, involving a process that shaped by factors occurring outside of the moment purchase. Consumers are increasingly being targeted with information aiming influence their decision-making, but change mechanisms such interventions poorly understood. This study aimed identify key influencing people's capability, opportunity and motivation make environmentally sustainable choices when shopping, how can...
A shift to advanced cookstoves can bring significant health and environmental benefits, but only with proper consistent use. Despite this, the empirical evidence of what drives initial purchase, in particular, continued use advance cooking technologies remains limited. This paper describes two case studies peri-urban Kiambu County (Kenya) urban Lusaka (Zambia) where we examine factors influencing purchase clean biomass over time. We apply service design methodology build "user journeys"...
Many interventions that aim to improve the livelihoods of vulnerable people in low-income settings fail because behavior intended benefit is not well understood and /or reflected design interventions. Methods for understanding situating human context development tend emphasize experimental approaches objectively isolate key drivers behavior. However, such methods often do account importance contextual factors wider system. In this paper we propose a conceptual framework support intervention...
Decades of efforts to replace traditional cooking methods that rely on solid biomass fuels with cleaner-burning and more energy-efficient cookstoves have fallen short expectations, typically because the new stoves are only used for a time, or they fail fully displace methods. This points need better understand how cookstove users assign value technologies. Recent research has shown service design can help developers programme implementers users' values, preferences, needs improve supporting...
Abstract Kenya has experienced a decade of relative prosperity with consistent economic growth and minimal political tension. GDP is growing by 3% annually poverty rates are declining. Despite these gains, still lot ground to cover achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030. SDG7, which aims ‘Ensure access affordable, reliable, sustainable modern energy for all’, exemplifies both Kenya’s achievements challenges that remain. Access grid-based electricity LPG have grown rapidly....
Abstract We present novel co-created transdisciplinary research that uses arts and humanities methods to explore air pollution in an informal settlement (Mukuru) Nairobi, Kenya. Air is a well-documented major human health issue, but despite many reduction interventions designed improve health, these are frequently ineffective. Often this because they fail account for local knowledge, cultural practices priorities of the intended recipients. Designing solutions therefore requires in-depth...
Transdisciplinary research (TDR) approaches have been cited as essential for overcoming the intractable sustainability challenges that world is currently facing, including air pollution, water management and climate change. However, such can be difficult to undertake in practice consequently fail add value. Therefore, examples of what works (and does not) are helpful guide future research. In this study, we used a conceptual TDR framework basis examine evaluate strengths weaknesses our...
Despite progress in recent decades, many crucial challenges to the eradication of extreme poverty remain intractable. Development interventions often fail deliver sustained, transformational outcomes households and communities. The field design has demonstrated its capacity designed artifacts that enhance livelihoods well-being people living resource poor communities, but it remains unclear how tools can contribute seeking multidimensional development outcomes. We present insights from two...
Purpose Clean cookstoves have emerged over the past half century as an important technological innovation to reduce indoor air pollution from cooking with traditional fuels. However, widespread adoption remains elusive, suggesting need for other measures accompany dissemination of clean cookstoves. Despite knowledge about health impacts cookstove smoke and a body evidence pointing efficacy education supporting behaviour change, messaging is relatively unexplored in sector. This paper aims...
In this paper we provide a detailed description of the methodological steps involved in conducting Service Design study combination with Discrete Choice Experiments (DCEs). It complements conceptual and epistemological argument developed for Osborne et al. (2021, World Development, review WD-19535). co-creative development policy interventions complex adaptive systems involves an iterative process moving between six stages (1) problem co-definition, (2) actor-centred mapping, (3)...
