“…Finally, the literature has questioned the sustainability of carpooling practices, mainly from an environmental point of view and with contrasting results [20][21][22][57][58][59]. If some authors conclude that carpooling facilitates a reduction in car use or car ownership and hence CO 2 emissions [19,23,[60][61][62][63], others obtain less favorable or even opposite results: in particular, they highlight that carpooling can be in competition with public transport rather than with the car [3,13,64]. For example, Ref.…”

“…Finally, some authors question the factors favouring the development of carpooling to feed public transport [65,66]. The impacts of carpooling practices in terms of the reduction in household car ownership seem more consensual and positive [19,23].…”

“…Although less documented, social benefits, such as improved accessibility for low-income people and social cohesion, are pointed out by some authors [15][16][17]. However, the literature has revealed the existence of many barriers to carpooling practices [18] and highlighted its uncertain impacts on travel behaviour, especially car ownership and use [13,[19][20][21][22][23]. Nonetheless, the recent rise of IT-based carpooling, i.e., based on platforms and apps, such as Blablacar [24], has rekindled interest in the subject and, especially, given hope that the downward trend in carpooling observed in Europe and North America [2,25] would be reversed.…”

This article proposes several new research directions regarding the future and sustainability of carpooling practices. The reflection is based on a systematic review of the literature (2010–2021) and a consideration of some of the main recent changes in carpooling, such as carpooling platforms and apps, and changes in lifestyles that may affect carpooling practices, such as telework. Carpooling is defined here as the sharing of short- or long-distance car rides between people who are not members of the same household, for a trip (or part of a trip) already scheduled by the driver, free of charge or expense sharing. After a description of the corpus selection method used, followed by a brief review of existing literature, we propose three new avenues for research. The first avenue is a call for greater consideration of forms of transport, other than carpooling, to work (or to the place of study), which remain poorly studied. The second avenue proposes the investigation of the role that the current digitalisation of carpooling, namely online carpooling platforms and their integration into mobility platforms, and also the use of social media by carpoolers, could play in the coming years. The third avenue argues that the consequences of the rise of collaborative consumption and the current pandemic, namely teleworking practices and the perception of shared mobility, could have an effect on carpooling, which merits specific investigation.

“…The study also resulted in the variation of the motives and constraints for carpooling by role (present carpool users, expected carpool users, and not involved travelers). Mou et al [46] conducted an online survey in Jinan, China, to examine the effect of carpooling on car purchasers' buying intention and tested the proposed hypothesis using the structural equation modeling technique. They found about 22% of car purchasers delayed buying a car while 12% of them even changed their decision of purchasing a car [46].…”

Travelers’ attitude towards carpooling in Islamabad

et al. 2021

Islamabad, being the capital of Pakistan, is attracting every business. Thus, the city is growing towards traffic congestion as the city’s car ownership rate is rapidly growing. In such a situation, for successful implementation, the policymakers need to understand the public acceptance of carpooling services based on its key motives and constraints. This research explores the key motives and constraints to the introduction scenarios of carpooling service in Islamabad. A stated preference questionnaire survey was conducted via Google Form comprising several parts relating to carpooling. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were processed, and a structural model was developed. Females (both single and married) were less orientated to carpool with males and married males with females. Unknown carpooling partners negatively influenced the factor of intention to shift to carpooling service. Our study provides policymakers and transport planners with an appropriate forecasting model of significant factors. In addition, it provides suggestions to transport planners to design promotional tools to enhance the tendency of carpooling among private car users in favor of reducing traffic congestion and increased car ownership rate in the city.

Drivers of green apparel consumption: Digging a little deeper into green apparel buying intentions

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The apparel industry's sustainability is gaining scholars' attention amidst increasing concerns about its environmental impacts. However, to ensure that the industry's efforts in environmental preservation succeed, it is crucial to identify the factors that can positively influence consumers' purchase or buying intentions for green apparel. However, at present, this topic is relatively understudied. Assimilating the norm activation model (NAM) and the stimulus–organism–response (SOR), we investigate economic, cognitive and ecological factors as antecedents to consumers' green apparel buying intentions. Additionally, we adapt the model to consider consumers' knowledge about apparel production as a moderator. Empirically analysing data from 478 apparel consumers from the USA through structural equation modelling, we found significant roles for affordance, ecological concerns and ascription of responsibility as stimuli influencing an individual's cognitive state through green self‐efficacy, green attitude and personal norms. The latter, in turn, affects the individual's buying intentions. Our findings entail several suggestions to help scholars, policymakers and business managers positively influence consumers to make green purchase decisions. We contribute significantly to the literature by explaining the nuances of driving factors that promote green apparel buying, and practitioners can leverage them to devise appropriate strategic tactics supporting such consumption practices.
