“…It could also be useful for supply-side policymakers in planning the level of electricity supply required to meet future demand adequately (Burney 1995;Diabi 1998;Al-Sahlawi 1990Atalla and Hunt 2016;Hasanov et al 2016a). Lastly, this information would also be relevant for environmental protection purposes such as reducing emissions (Mundaca 2017;Khondaker et al 2014;Alkhathlan and Javid 2015).…”

“…Mitigating energy-related emissions plays a key role in the future of sustainable urban development [ 2 ]. The transport sector, as the largest and fastest growing energy consuming sector and contributor to environmental externalities, is inseparably linked to the climate-change challenge; it is currently responsible for 23% of total energy-related GHG emissions [ 3 , 4 , 5 ]. Furthermore, it is predicted that China’s transport carbon emissions will continue to grow rapidly and will contribute about one-third of global CO 2 emissions by 2030 [ 6 , 7 ].…”

Choices regarding mode of travel have an evident effect on environment pollutants and public health. This paper makes a significant contribution by examining the differences between low-carbon and non-low-carbon travel mode choices during shopping trips, and how socio-economic characteristics impact individual travel behavior based on data gathered from a questionnaire conducted in Shenyang, China. The study found that, firstly, low-carbon travel modes were more common than non-low-carbon travel modes for shopping, and the average travel distance by non-low-carbon modes was a little longer than that of low-carbon modes. Secondly, suburban and wholesale specialized commercial centers attracted more residents travelling longer distances by non-low carbon modes, especially private car, compared to regional commercial centers in inner city areas. Thirdly, strong relationships between car ownership, gender, monthly income, and travel mode choices were identified in a binary logistic regression model. This study thus highlights the importance of sustainable transportation policies to advocate low-carbon travel modes and reduce carbon emissions.

“…While the population in KSA increased by 41% between 2000 and 2013, the number of registered cars increased by 103% [23]. It was also found that a 1% increase in total oil consumption in KSA has the possibility of causing an 87% elevation in carbon emissions over time [3]. Moreover, higher incomes are related to increased CO2 emissions, while reductions in income may not necessarily lead to a similar decrease in emissions [3].…”

The area has experienced population growth of about 3.5% per year and rapid urbanization over the past few decades. With this increase in population has come a significant escalation in automobile traffic, which, in turn, has contributed to poor air quality in the province. Two of the major cities in the area were listed on the World Health Organization's 2016 top 15 cities with the worst air pollution. Local studies have shown that vehicle traffic is a significant contributor to poor air quality and thus, eventually, climate change. Public transportation could alleviate some of the pollution. Unfortunately, overall past perceptions of public transportation and its negative connotations within the Saudi Arabian cultural setting have discouraged previous attempts to develop public transit services. Currently, KSA is progressing with metro works in the capital city of Riyadh and is considering what services to offer in the Eastern Province. This research involved surveying over 800 Eastern Province residents to determine whether they would use public transportation if it was offered, and what type of service they would expect. The response was positive and provided initial indications that public transportation is needed and would be utilized.
