“…The dimensions are i) "platform" (Anttitroiko, 2016;Bollier, 2016;Ojasalo & Tähtinen, 2016;Raunio et al, 2016;Walravens & Ballon, 2013) and ii) "participation approach" (Hossain, 2016;Leminen, 2013;Steen & van Bueren, 2017). The framework demonstrates the differences between collaborative innovation networks in the city context.…”

“…In this respect, Steen and van Bueren (2017) operationalized a definition of urban living labs, which was used to assess 90 sustainable urban innovation projects in the city of Amsterdam. They summarized the characteristics of living labs as four elements: aims, activities, participants, and context.…”

“…The context of the living lab is that of a real-life, and in many urban living labs, this means a territory or a space-bound place. Notably, Steen and van Bueren (2017) argue that most of the projects that label themselves as living labs do not include all the defining elements of a living lab.…”

“…Among them, Leminen and colleagues (2012) classify living labs as user-, enabler-, utilizer-, or provider-driven. Moreover, the outcomes of innovation activities are linked with the characteristics of the living lab, its driving party, and the selected strategy -and the living lab's structure is that of an open innovation network Steen & van Bueren, 2017;Veeckman et al, 2013). Similar to the notion of open innovation networks (Jarvenpaa & Wernick, 2012), living labs typically comprise different stakeholders, such as suppliers, customers and users, competitors, research units of universities, and other institutions and organizations, all of whom brings their interests to the collaboration and innovation.…”

“…A city or an urban environment as well as involved stakeholders and their roles are encompassed in many recent living lab studies (e.g., Juujärvi & Lund, 2016;Steen & van Bueren, 2017). Previous research is unified in that cities have a crucial role to support plurality of innovation activities in the urban context (e.g., Markkula & Kune, 2015;Tukiainen & Sutinen, 2015).…”

Modelling gendered innovation for the security of energy services in poor urban environments

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The security of energy services remains a challenge in poor urban Africa. Many households lack adequate energy technological devices to match modern energy carriers to fulfil their energy service needs. Females are most affected because of the culturally embedded gender roles at the household level.Despite the disproportionate gender roles in energy services, gender dimensions remain covert in the energy products innovation process. The study explored how gendered innovation augments energy innovation and addresses the problem relating to the security or fulfilment of energy services of households in poor urban environments. The study used system dynamics modelling to define the dynamic feedback loops, encompassing the security of energy services, households in poor urban environments, and gendered innovation. The results show that a gender-sensitive, user-centric innovation can help fulfil household energy services. The template model will be customised and applied in two poor urban environments in South Africa.
