“…The results validate the importance of behavioural attitude, SNs, and PBC in predicting residents' green RI. This conclusion is consistent with most research results, such as those on street food supply [76], food safety [77], green product purchase [66], and green consumption [49]. Only a few studies have reached inconsistent conclusions.…”

The green retrofitting of existing residential buildings is an important approach to realise the sustainable development of stock buildings. In addition to the new technologies and materials related to green retrofitting, the intention of residents toward the green retrofitting of existing residential buildings must be understood. However, the factors affecting such intentions are still unclear. Hence, this study refers to the extended theory of planed behaviour and constructs a theoretical model of the intention toward the green retrofitting of existing residential buildings. On the basis of the data from 507 questionnaires collected from eastern and western China, the theoretical model is tested via structural equation modelling (SEM). Multigroup SEM is used to analyse the differences in population characteristics and the intention of residents toward the green retrofitting of existing residential buildings in residential areas. Research results reveal the following: (1) the most important factors affecting residents’ intention toward green retrofitting are policy factors, followed by cognition of green retrofitting, behaviour, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control; (2) policy factors not only directly affect residents’ intention toward green retrofitting but also indirectly affect their intention toward existing residential green retrofitting through perceived behavioural control; (3) residents’ cognition of green retrofitting exerts no significant direct impact on their intention toward green retrofitting, but it does indirectly affect their intention toward green retrofitting through behaviour and subjective norms; (4) behaviour, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control have direct and significant influences on intention toward green retrofitting; (5) demographic characteristics (gender, age, monthly family income, education level, and occupation) and regional variables (east and west) present significant differences in different influence paths. The conclusion of the study provides a targeted path reference for the promotion of the green retrofitting of existing residential buildings.

Using fish landing sites and markets information towards quantification of the blue economy to enhance fisheries management

Fisheries management uses important fish market information and information from Communication Technology (ICT) to improve fish trade by identifying inefficiencies, inequity and post‐harvest losses. The current study reports fisheries output using ICT at major landing sites and markets in Kenya and Uganda from the Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute (KMFRI) Enhanced Fish Market Information Service (EFMIS) database for 2009 – 2017. Catch assessment survey data validated the use of market data in drawing conclusions. Regional Frame Survey data provided information before EFMIS, enabling comparisons of fish trade costings. The average quantity of fish traded in Kenya depended on seasons of active lake fishing, which occurs in January – March and August – October, while Uganda had an irregular pattern associated with fish trade throughout the year. The quantity of fish traded weekly depended on the average price of fish. Lower sales margins during the EFMIS project showed the merits of information sharing using ICT platforms for efficient and equitable fish trade. Such evaluation of fish market information is useful in fish trade policy formulation and for fisheries management and ecological sustainability in rural and peri‐urban communities.

“…Questions pertaining to section 4 and 5 included a five-point Likert scale. As for the TPB, the questionnaire items were defined, taking into account Ajzen's conceptual and methodological considerations for constructing a TPB questionnaire (Ajzen, 1991) and the previous works carried out in similar field where a 5-point response format has been used (Giampieri et al, 2018;Rezaei et al, 2018;Adnan et al, 2019;Arunrat et al, 2017). Meanwhile, for the NEP scale, the selection of a five-point Likert scale has been decided upon following the results of a meta-analysis on works employing NEP scales, executed by Hawcroft and Milfont (2010), who highlighted that all studies, like the Dunlap et al (2000) one, used a Likert scale and that 83.45% of the sample employed one with five-point response format.…”

“…A review of literature shows that the TPB has long been successfully used to investigate a wide variety of farmers' intentions such as: adoption of innovations and technologies (Adnan et al, 2019), sustainable practices (Zeweld et al, 2017;Menozzi et al, 2015;Fielding et al, 2008), adaptation to climate change (Arunrat et al, 2017; Dang et al, 2014), engagement in pro-environmental activities (Van Dijk et al, 2016). Despite the general usefulness of the TPB to identify and understand different behaviours of farmers, some scholars have attempted to enhance the predictive power of the TPB model, by including additional constructs Rezaei et al, (2018), who extend the TPB model by including the two constructs of moral norms and knowledge, have recognized an increased robustness and explanatory power of the proposed framework in predicting farmer's intentions towards engaging in farm food safety enhancements. Positive remarks relating to the robustness of an extended TPB have been also expressed by Giampietri et al (2018).…”

At the base of the SFSC there is the creation of a trust relationship between producers and consumers, usually identifiable in a face-to-face interaction, thus allowing a direct relationship that in the global FSC is totally absent. According to the definition of short food supply chains developed by Marsden et al. (2002), SFSCs have the capacity to "resocialise" or "re-spatialise" food, thus allowing consumers to make value-judgements about foods. Authors make clear that "it is not the number of times a product is handled or the distance over which it is ultimately transported which is necessarily critical, but the fact that the product reaches the con
