Purpose This study aims to examine the impact of the three dimensions of materialism, namely, possessiveness, envy and non-generosity along with attitude on the purchase intention of sustainable luxury products. Design/methodology/approach The research study contains a descriptive approach to research with a quantitative analysis done with exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis with 229 respondents. Findings The findings of the results contribute to research by extending the model of the theory of planned behavior with the material dimensions as an add-on. Research limitations/implications The same could have been extended to all major metro cities of Indian where luxury brands are present in malls. Practical implications This shows that the consumer with a high level of materialism trait would be a very prospective segment for sustainable luxury brands. Originality/value The study shows that the three dimensions of materialism do impact the purchase intention of sustainable luxury producers and these findings will be crucial for devising consumer behavior-based strategies for sustainable luxury brands.

“…Based on Table 2, the literature revealed a paucity of research that explicitly stated it was exploring MCDM applications on NDC projects. Only research by Mahapatra et al [34], Fang et al [35], Bolaños et al [36] and Barbosa et al [37] explicitly stated their application of MCDM on NDC projects or measures. Although most other articles did not explicitly mention NDCs they did investigate how MCDM methods can be applied to eco-friendly or climate change-related projects.…”

“…Mahapatra et al [63] used a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) to evaluate the contribution of freight transportation towards India's Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). Wei [64] used an integrated MCDM method combining benefits, opportunities, costs, risks (BOCR) theory, AHP, interval type-2 fuzzy numbers (IT2FNs), and TOPSIS to evaluate the sustainability of Photovoltaic poverty alleviation project in order to improve the poverty alleviation performance and efficiency.…”

“…As more and more cities are adopting sustainability philosophy, it has become a mandate to contribute towards sustainable urban development in terms of basic services, social infrastructure and transportation (Parnell, 2016; Wołek et al , 2021). Moreover, with the lack of transport and unreliable system in place, several issues arise with respect to sustainability (Riffat et al , 2016; Solanki et al , 2016; Adapa, 2018; Mahapatra et al , 2021). Rapid urbanization has transformed the role of transport sector leading towards cleaner, safer energy-efficient transport mode.…”

Purpose Achieving sustainable development in terms of people, prosperity and partnership is the main aspect in any country’s plan for development. This sustainable development has to be achieved in three major dimensions, that is, economic, social and environmental in an integrated, balanced and systematic way. The same is highlighted in the United Nations’ (UN) vision for sustainable development by 2030. The purpose of this study is to identify the critical barriers of urban sustainability and gender equality with reference to Indian context, to suggest the strategies to achieve sustainable development in the referred area and to evaluate the relationship between them. Design/methodology/approach The major contribution of this study lies in the development of a contextual relationship model from the various identified critical barriers in Indian context, using interpretive structural modeling with MICMAC analysis. Findings Of the 17 goals given by UN, considering the Indian context, the goals of building resilient infrastructure, promoting inclusive and sustainable industrialization and fostering innovation; promoting sustained and inclusive economic growth along with full and productive employment and decent work for all; and gender equality and empowering women at all levels seem to be the major challenges and the same are selected in this study for further analysis. To understand the major challenges in these areas and also to find the way forward, the study has set following three major objectives: to identify the critical barriers of urban sustainability and gender equality with reference to Indian context; to suggest the strategies to achieve sustainable development in the referred area; and to evaluate the relationship between them. Originality/value Considering the highly volatile and complex demand requirements, this approach may help to enable the government to tackle issues/challenges related to both urban sustainability and gender inequality on priority basis and in a holistic manner to achieve the goals of sustainable development, thereby improving the quality of life.
