“…In general, both positive and negative effects of urbanization on carbon dioxide emissions are found in a variety of studies. For example, many studies confirm a positive correlation between urbanization and carbon dioxide emissions in a cross-country context by adopting cross-country panel data analysis [4,8,12,13,15], while some other research found a negative influence of urbanization on the energy consumption of developed countries [1]. Therefore, the existing literature of relationships between urbanization and carbon dioxide emission is incoherent.…”

“…This is partly due to differences in methods and sample data, but also reflecting the complex influences of urbanization on energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions [12]. Thus, recent studies have increasingly focus on the mechanism or key factors of urbanization influence on energy use and carbon dioxide emission.…”

“…Generally, most studies confirm that urbanization and industrialization have significant influence on energy consumption and carbon emissions [1,12,17,18,22]. Additionally, some recent literature has shown mixed results about the relationship between urbanization and energy consumption, which means the influence effects of urbanization and industrialization on energy use vary at different development stages and in different regions [12,15]. Although the influence effects of urbanization on energy use and CO 2 emissions are generally positive, increasing studies argue that a couple of factors within urbanization process may create potential for the reduction of energy demand.…”

“…Apart from Brazil, households became less energy intensive as incomes and expenditures increased. Li and Lin [22] analysed the impacts of urbanisation and Sustainability 2017, 9, 2328 4 of 22 industrialisation on energy consumption increases in 73 countries. They found that urbanisation produces negative effects on energy demand in low-income countries but is not a significant energy demand factor in middle-and high-income countries.…”

Household Energy Consumption Behaviour for Different Demographic Regions in Thailand from 2000 to 2010

Abstract:Since 1995, the residential sector has been a fast-growing energy consumption sector in Thailand. This sector contributes dramatically to the growth of Thailand's electricity and oil demand. Our study analysed Thailand's residential energy consumption characteristics and the seven underlying factors affecting the growth in energy use of five demographic regions using an energy input-output method. Embodied energy decomposition revealed that direct energy consumption accounted for approximately 30% of total residential energy use, whereas indirect energy consumption was at 70%. During the studied period, the growth in indirect energy use for all household groups was primarily the result of higher consumption of 'commerce', 'air transport', 'manufacturing', 'food and beverages' and 'agriculture' products. Moreover, each influencing driver contributes differently to each household's growth in energy demand. The number of households was the leading factor that dominated the increases in residential energy use in the Greater Bangkok and Central regions. Growth in residential energy consumption in the Northern, Northeastern and Southern regions was strongly dominated by changes in income per capita. Consumption structure and using energy-efficient products had a moderate impact on all regions' energy consumption. Thus, our findings provide additional energy-saving strategies to restrain further growth in residential energy demand.

“…The growth rate of transport energy use -three quarters of which consumed on the road -is projected to increase 2% annually (Saboori et al, 2014). This means that good understandings of road energy use are required to provide insight into the development of more sustainable cities, although the connections between urbanization and environmental impacts are not clear (Brian C O'Neill, 2012;Ergas et al, 2016;Li and Lin, 2015;Liddle, 2014;Ponce De Leon Barido and Marshall, 2014;Poumanyvong and Kaneko, 2010;Ramana Gudipudi and Kropp, 2016).…”

The relationship between urbanization, energy use, and CO2 emissions has been extensively studied in recent years, however little attention paid to the differences in urban forms. Previous studies implicitly assume that the urban form is homogenous across different urban areas. Such an assumption is questionable as urban form can have many different facets. This paper investigates the effects of urbanization on the road transport energy use by considering different urban forms from a dataset of (3) there is a non-linear (quadratic) relationship between road energy use per capita and urban population. This implies that an increase in total municipality population over a specific turning point can result in a decrease in road energy use per capita. However, (4) the ratio of urban residential buildings with private gardens has a negative and significant influence on road transport energy use.This implies that there may be a trade-off between compact and sprawl city development strategies, highlighting that sustainable energy use requires further investigation.
