“…With regard to accessibility, the government is required to bridge the gap in access to low(er)-carbon energy at regional and household levels. Energy access issues are traditionally considered as the problem associated with developing countries and rural areas, where there is a lack of infrastructural development, while a new form of energy access issue is now emerging in the case of low-carbon energy transition: access to lowcarbon energy systems or technology [49][50][51][52]. In this context, Fig.…”

“…For this analysis, the study assumes that new technologies refer to all kinds of new equipment and low-carbon (or energy-saving) technologies designed by private companies to provide a better and more comfortable quality of life. While there are a few studies on this topic [49][50][51][52], this study provides new insights into the relationship between new technologies and the risk of suffering EP by building on interconnected studies. The manner in which people use new, energy-saving and/or low-carbon housing systems (efficiency), the ability of people to afford new, energy-saving and/or low-carbon housing systems (cost), and the effectiveness of new, energy-saving and/or low-carbon housing systems in reducing the risk of EP (quality), are the three vulnerability factors analysed as drivers to EP.…”

Energy poverty, defined as the inability to fulfil adequate levels of domestic energy services, has been analysed in Japan previously. However, neither policy agendas nor official definitions of energy poverty have been established yet, resulting in the neglect of energy-poor households and other relevant aspects of this issue. This study is the first to examine the contextual factors of energy poverty in Japan, through the perspective of energy poverty vulnerabilities. The study uses a new multidimensional approach, covering the issues of affordability and accessibility to different forms of energy, as well as the effects of new technologies on the risk of energy poverty. The study develops several unexplored issues in previous literature, such as access to low-carbon energy as an issue in developed countries. The results highlight the role of location, infrastructure and household characteristics in influencing the risk of suffering energy poverty in Japan. The seasonality of energy poverty in Japan is also analysed, revealing higher rates of energy poverty in the northern regions during winter and in the southernmost region during summer. Finally, the impact of the ongoing energy transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy on energy poverty is discussed.

“…Practices are internally differentiated, since practitioners in different cases may engage in the same practices differently [17]. Forms of social difference, including ethnicity [18], caste, class, age, religion, sexuality, the rural/urban divides, shape practices and energy adoption, while intersectionality examines how social power relations, based on forms of difference such as gender, class, age and race, are interconnected [19][20][21][22]. One form of difference derives its meaning through articulation with another, with individuals being actively engaged in the development of their identities [23].…”

Solar Home Systems in South Asia: Examining Adoption, Energy Consumption, and Social Practices

Renewable electricity generation from solar energy has rapidly increased in South Asia. This paper presents a systematic review of 79 scholarly papers on the topic of solar home system adoption, energy consumption, and social practices in South Asia. Using an intersectionality lens, the paper demonstrates that various categories of difference, such as gender, age, class, and ethnicity, intersect and shape the adoption of this technology in South Asia. Utilizing a social practice theory lens, the paper shows that solar home systems shape the spatial and temporal arrangements and practices of members of households that have adopted the technology, as well as their counterparts who have not. This technology has a practical but also symbolic function; the symbolic function and social meaning are derived from the economic and socio-cultural contexts. As this renewable energy technology is embedded in economic and socio-cultural contexts, people reconfigure it in creative ways to meet their everyday energy needs. The paper identifies research gaps and suggests future research agendas.

This study aims to describe the condition of women who work as pottery craftsmen. This type of research is descriptive qualitative. Data collection methods in this study are through interviews, observation, and documentation. The target of this research is women craftsmen of pottery in the village of Wanio, kec. Pancalautang Kab. Sidrap then selected 7 people who became research informants through a purposive sampling technique, with the criteria being women pottery craftsmen who are married, as pottery craftsmen and whether or not they have been working as pottery craftsmen for a long time. The results showed the profile of the life of the first pottery craftsman from the education aspect, the second the health aspect and the third the income aspect. The woman who craftsmen divides her time in carrying out the two domains at once, namely directly making pottery and there are also those who finish work at home before making pottery. The positive impact felt by women in making pottery is that it can help the family economy besides that it can increase a sense of self-esteem, life satisfaction and health is maintained. The negative impacts are lack of time with family and workload.
