“…Additionally, a green incentives program was established using a mobile APP system designed to encourage users to make sustainable purchases. The infrastructure of a mobile system has 3 components: database server, communication, and integration; with the four functional models to login and sign up, get eco-credits, use/donate eco-credits, and visualize the history of eco-credits [15]. Using various methodologies for the development of mobile APPs like MySQL servers, programming language PHP, and IP based on the web services RESTful.…”

Nowadays, pollution keeps increasing due to social, political, economic, cultural, and environmental factors. Environmental awareness is close to zero because people prioritize personal activities. In that sense, the objective of this investigation is to raise environmental awareness in the population regarding the impact of pollution and support this through a mobile application (APP) that helps reduce pollution. The methodology used was the cascade, and through its phases, it was developed the prototype design of the mobile APP. The results obtained from this hybrid research were through a survey using ATLAS.ti 22; it concluded that environmental awareness begins at home and is taught by the parents, also it should be promoted from elementary school to high school and even in college. Moreover, in a survey, the users stated by 89% that the use of this mobile APP can help reduce the environmental impact. Also, in the validation through expert judgment, all the attributes were accepted with an average of 81%, that of functionality was the lowest, and the highest was that of consistency and integration with 83%. Finally, environmental education should be a priority policy in any country, as this will benefit its population.

“…The potential of mobile technology is also increasingly being explored by researchers. explore in their study how to integrate the use of smartphones into the teaching and learning of sustainability education in optional learning spaces such as museums Huang et al (2022). developed an eco-incentive mobile app system to encourage consumers to consume sustainably, in which consumers who recycle and reuse end-of-life products are awarded eco-credits and in which eco-credits can be used for shopping discounts, redeem eco-credits for museum/theatre tickets, or donate them for tree planting.According to the research of Navas Iannini & Pedretti (2022) exhibitions related to sustainability can contribute to changing visitors' behaviour at an individual action level -they can learn how to recycle better, how to choose products more wisely, how to make better choices about the food they consume, the amount of energy they use and the waste they generate.…”

One of the most important basic functions of museums is to preserve the cultural resources of a community, not only for the present but also for future generations. In recent years, the concepts of sustainability and sustainable development have constantly come to the attention of researchers and practitioners and museums are no exception to this process. Well-managed museums not only ensure their own sustainability, but also play an important role in the sustainable economic development of different urban regions (Gustafsson and Ijla 2017) and directly influences the development of cultural tourism in a given region as well. Despite the obvious links between museums and sustainability, not much research has explored how museums fit into sustainability, and how can they become sustainable. Based on this, the main research question of my study is: How can a sustainable museum be defined based on the mission statements of European contemporary art museums and according to the value preferences of museum professionals and museum visitors? To answer the research question, the phenomenon of sustainable museums needs to be analyzed from different aspects. Qualitative research methods are applied in the dissertation: systematic literature research, content analysis, critical discourse analysis, Q-method and grounded theory based on interviews. The main scientific contribution of my dissertation are the followings: (1) Identifying 15 key sustainability thematic roles of the museums The research complements the empirical literature on sustainable museums and contributes to broadening the theoretical background. The mission of museums in this context has not been examined before. The research has shed light on the value preferences that define museums and around which they can develop sustainable strategies. (2) Identifying the objectives and roles along which different practices exist in CEE and non-CEE countries. The novelty of the research is that there has been no research on museum sustainability specifically in the context of European contemporary museums. (3) No previous study has measured and compared sustainability indicators at international level. The museums studied operate in different regions of Europe, in very different economic and social contexts. Their comparison is an important contribution to the theoretical literature of sustainable museums and museum management. (4) Identifying 3 dominant perspectives of Hungarian museum professionals for sustainable museum Research has shown that there are several possible approaches to establishing a sustainable museum strategy. Through this research we have contributed to the application of sustainability in practice. (5) Novel identification of the potential tool for enhancing sustainability: personalised museum experiences is the new technological challenge. These are areas in which museums have not yet made much progress, and the inclusion of AI in museum visits is one of the developments that could open up new horizons, and museums should therefore make a greater effort to learn about and apply these solutions. (6) Novel synthesis of the literature on sustainable museums. We have highlighted that the topic is under-researched in tourism. (7) Novel approach using the Q-method to explore the trends that characterise the engagement and mechanism of action of opinion groups. The Q-method is used to explore the trends that characterise the engagement and mechanism of action of opinion groups. (8) Identifying 3 dominant perspectives of young museum visitors for sustainable museum. The research provides insight into the differences and similarities between Generation Z opinion preferences and thus contributes to a deeper understanding of the sustainability of museums from the perspective of future museum visitors. (9) Creation of model of multi-phase museum visit, new approach to be used by museums to target visitors My dissertation has made a significant contribution to exploring the phenomenon of sustainable museum especially as this has not been studied in Hungary before.
