“…Qualitative data collection through focus group discussions with six informants consisting of one officer from ESDM department who directly handles energy issues, one renewable energy practitioner, Lurah as community leader at sub-district level, the head of RW as a leader who deals directly with the community, the head of PKK as a leader of a women's organization directly involved in the daily use of energy in the household, the head of the youth organization as the next generation which will greatly determine the future of the nation. Based on the literature review, an interview instrument was developed as one set of questions consisting of five categories, namely commitment to developing renewable energy technology from a sustainability perspective, community-based social innovation [13], financial availability and support, collaboration with multiple parties [14], experience using technology [15]. The questions in the interview instrument can be modified or further developed based on the responses of the informants.…”

Small-Scale Renewable Energy Technology to Support the Sustainability of a Food Security Village in Malang City

Nowadays, the energy transition from fossil fuels to renewable energies is taking place worldwide. Every year, the amount of renewable energy installed increases dramatically. Many small-scale renewable energy technologies have been developed, for example at the household level, or at the environmental level as community-owned renewable energy. This research focuses on the development of renewable energy technology using the resource potential and local community wisdom of Glintung Water Street (GWS), a flood-prone area in Malang City. The objectives of the study were to analyze the potential of water resources in the study area to be developed as renewable energy, particularly under low flow conditions, and to investigate community support for the program of energy independence as a basis for developing a green economy to strengthen GWS as a food security village. This study uses 2 types of data, namely qualitative and quantitative data. Qualitative data is used to deepen the urgency of using renewable energy as alternative energy to replace PLN electricity. Meanwhile, the quantitative data collection consisted of 2 types of data, namely data on the measurement of the hydraulic characteristics of the flow as a source of driving force for the water wheel, and data on the community response and support using a questionnaire instrument. The results showed that the minimum flow to drive the water wheel under low flow conditions was 3 l/s. The maximum RPM recorded during waterwheel operation is 9 RPM, i.e. after it rained the night before the measurement, and the resulting voltage was 20 Volt. However, at higher flow conditions, the voltage generated by the waterwheel can reach 40 Volts. The community strongly supports the energy independence program although there are still doubts due to limited knowledge and experience in applying renewable energy technologies.

“…Meanwhile, a new term – social innovation (SI) – has attracted more attention from researchers and academicians due to the growing interest in addressing social issues. SI has various definitions and basis of concept (Agostini et al, 2016 ; Avelino et al, 2019 ; Cajaiba-Santana, 2014 ; Dall-Orsoletta et al, 2022 ; Daniel & Jenner, 2022 ; González & Alonso, 2022 ; Grilo & Moreira, 2022 ; Nicholls & Dees, 2015 ; Pol & Ville, 2009 ; van der Have & Rubalcaba, 2016 ). Although varied, the concepts have similar components, which include social actors and social change.…”

Currently available research focuses on entrepreneurship and leadership (Grilo & Moreira, 2022 ; Rana et al, 2022 ; Vaccaro & Ramus, 2022 ), transition, transformation, and impact within society (Avelino et al, 2019 ; Dall-Orsoletta et al, 2022 ; Kim et al, 2021 ; Ruthemeier et al, 2022 ), inter-organizational collaborations and value creation (Ozdemir & Gupta, 2021 ), business model, strategy, and governance (de Souza João-Roland & Granados, 2023 ; Dionisio & de Vargas, 2020 ; Gasparin et al, 2021 ; Ney, 2014 ; Peris-Ortiz et al, 2018 ), the role of technology (Boussafi et al, 2021 ; Conti & Orcioni, 2022 ; Enciso-Santocildes et al, 2021 ; C.

Social innovation (SI) is a potential solution to various problems and challenges in the agriculture sector. Agri-tech start-ups can be considered important agents for developing SI in the sector. In Indonesia, agri-tech start-ups are also expected to develop SI for sustainable agricultural development in the medium-term national development plan 2020–2024. Using multiple case studies, this paper attempts to complement the currently available literature and deepen the knowledge regarding the differences between SI and traditional innovation. This research also discusses the role of business organizations, represented by agri-tech start-ups, in developing SI, by observing the diffusion model and innovation-decision process. This research identifies characteristics of SI theoretically complemented with empirical description. Three models of diffusion leading to different types of innovation-decision processes and communication channels are identified. Several internal and external factors are influencing the diffusion process. In the process, the start-ups also hold bridging roles that vary according to company characteristics. Practical implications regarding successful SI development are provided.

“…We still lack sufficient knowledge on the driving forces of integration and the development of cities. Some researchers (Hoppe and De Vries 2019;Dall-Orsoletta et al, 2022) point out that social innovations are the purpose of development and contribute to low-carbon energy transitions, civic empowerment, and social goals that benefit a sustainable future. These shortages include the gaps in societies' inclination toward innovativeness and the level of impact of behaviors of individuals and norms on social institutions.…”

Between innovative and habitual behavior. Evidence from a study on sustainability in Greece, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, and the United Kingdom

In this article, we explore individuals’ pro-environmental innovative behavior (PEIB) as one of the conditions for developing more sustainable cities. We assume that energy-efficient sustainable cities are those where people behave sustainably. Hence, studying the conditions of human behavior is essential for understanding the transformation of cities. We focused on individual antecedents of pro-environmental innovative behavior with a survey conducted in five European countries and a sample of 2502 participants. Descriptive and correlation statistical analyses confirm a moderate relationship between environmental awareness and environmental action. Based on this rudimentary analysis, we suggest further research on city energy transformation, including multiple aspects of individual behavior.
