“…Each method has its own advantages. The web‐based method allows investigators to obtain a large random sample at a relatively low cost and in a short time, and to receive samples from all walks of life to ensure sample diversity (Ru, Wang, Chen, & Yan, ). However, this method does not allow researchers to interact with respondents directly and grasp deeper information regarding the survey.…”

Remanufacturing plays an important role in reducing energy consumption and material usage. The present research attempted to understand consumers' perceptions of remanufactured products in China and their resulting purchase behavior. The study uses the theory of planned behavior as its theoretical framework but extends it by incorporating two additional variables (consumer familiarity and ambiguity tolerance). Data was collected using a self‐administered questionnaire survey and analyzed with structural equation modeling. According to the survey findings, consumer familiarity positively affects consumer attitude but negatively affects consumer intention to purchase remanufactured products. Ambiguity tolerance positively affects attitude and purchase intention. Meanwhile, consumer attitude and perceived behavioral control are both positively and significantly related to purchase intention. However, the subjective norm has no significant effect on purchase intention. This study also demonstrated the positive effect of purchase intention on actual purchase behavior. Based on the research findings, practical guidelines are given for remanufacturers to motivate consumers to purchase remanufactured products.

“…Combined with Table 4, users between 25-35 years have the highest average mileages using shared bicycles to replace other traveling means, followed by those between 36-45 years. This shows that opening up the [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] year old user market and increasing its user stickiness would bring more environmental benefits to bicycle sharing. The end-point environmental impacts of all studied processes are displayed in Figure 6.…”

“…Additionally, such datasets from bicycle sharing companies are always in short supply. Self-reported data is widely used in the study of shared bicycle [22][23][24], since it can efficiently investigate user characteristics, attitudes and usage of shared bicycles, although it may be biased and participants may overestimate their traveling intention to meet social expectations towards environmental behaviors [25], besides, the survey results are also difficult to copy, which is one of the defects of the questionnaire survey method [26]. To achieve our objective, we thereby carry out a questionnaire-based survey to explore the impacts of adopting bicycle sharing on individual traveling modes, and take some measures to ensure the authenticity and representativeness of online survey results, such as questionnaire screening and stratified adjustment.…”

As an icon of sharing economy and product service systems, bicycle sharing is gaining an increasing global popularity, yet there is little knowledge about the environmental performance of this emerging traveling mode. To seek the answer to the question, the paper employs a survey-based method and a life cycle assessment (LCA) approach. We first conduct a questionnaire-based survey to identify the changes in traveling modes after the introduction of shared bicycles. The survey results show that the use of shared bicycles is more popular among young and low-income populations, and shared bicycles are predominantly used to replace walking and bus-taking. Based on the survey results, we model the environmental impacts of the changed traveling behaviors and the life cycle of shared bicycle with the aid of Gabi software. The LCA results shows that bicycle sharing is currently an environmentally friendly practice, as it brings environmental savings in all the indicators except metal consumption. Further, the results of sensitivity analysis show that aging, rising rental fees, and increasing volume of shared bicycles would impart negative impacts on the environmental performance of bicycle sharing. The findings of this work facilitate the management and development of bicycle sharing.

“…Moreover, it is also accepted that perceived norms significantly influence intention [ 66 ], which is an immediate antecedent of action to choose public transport mode. In other words, if a person begins to understand that essential referents (such as family members, colleagues, close friends) agree that travel should be environmentally friendly, he may feel less pressure and plan to use active travel and public transport [ 62 , 67 , 68 ]. Therefore, it can be assumed that a better perception of social norms would affect the intention to use public transportation.…”

Transport planning and public health have been intertwined historically. The health impact of public transport services, such as social exclusion, is a widely discussed research topic. Social exclusion is a paramount concern for older adults’ health in the wake of emerging global challenges. However, there remains a significant research gap on how psychosocial barriers faced by older adults in using public transport services influence the social exclusion behavior. The present research provides empirical evidence and shows the impact of certain psychosocial barriers of public transportation on older adults’ social exclusion. A total of 243 Pakistani older adults (aged 60–89 years old) voluntarily participated in this cross-sectional study. The participants provided self-reports on their psychosocial barriers (including perceived norms, attitude, personal ability, habits, neighborhood social constraints, and intention) and the corresponding social exclusion. Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was utilized for the data analysis. The structural path model supported the significant associations between psychosocial barriers and social exclusion. Except for perceived descriptive norms, all other psychosocial barriers predicted older adults’ social exclusion. The research portrays the significance of the psychosocial factors to examine social exclusion and offers practical implications for urban and transport planners. The concerned policymakers can use the research findings to develop age-sensitive, socially sustainable, and healthy cities.
