Careful alignment of progress made by digitalization with the globally acknowledged Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) crucial inclusive and holistic development in digital era. However, limited reference has been SDGs about harnessing opportunities offered capabilities. Moreover, research on inhibiting or enabling effects considering its multi-faceted interlinkages their targets fragmented. There are only instances literature examining categorizing impact To overcome this gap, paper introduces new Digitainability Assessment Framework (DAF) context-aware practical assessment intervention SDGs. The DAF facilitates in-depth many diverse technical, social, ethical, environmental aspects systematically SDG indicators.

Digital sustainability in smart agriculture

Опубликована: Ноя. 3, 2021

With reference to sustainable digitalisation in smart agriculture (SmA), available academic literature does not properly clarify whether applied at farming is economically, environmentally, and ethically - the long period it not. The necessity develop this research lays its basis on fact that, until now, sustainability researchers, digital scientists agricultural experts have apparently been studying separate tanks with different meanings of SmA sustainability. In paper, authors aim addressing necessity: study analyses relationship between digitalization sustainability, domain. For purpose, a framework proposed evaluate impact ICT solution considering both components, i.e., hardware (agricultural machine related tools devices) software (data information systems). Taking into consideration hardware, an interesting role lowering played by retrofitting solutions. Furthermore, responsible sober design info logical-based systems fundamental avoid unnecessary added impacts. authors' ambition propose general where some accountability could be assigned specific or strategies, life cycle view. From such standpoint more integrative perspective effects can foreseen sector.

Digital transition, Sustainable Product-Service System (S.PSS), and environmental sustainability - A systematic review

Опубликована: Окт. 5, 2023

Recently, the ongoing digital transition has brought forth both new risks and opportunities for environmental sustainability. However, despite some attention given to potential relationships between related areas a growing research interest therein, limited number of studies have holistically explored nexus transition, PSS, benefits. This is systematic literature review focused on relationship S.PSS sustainability during process. We propose novel analytical perspective by synthesizing mapping existing derive pathway technologies optimize four relevant factors through primary approaches (Information/Data Access Optimization, Connectivity & Communication Process Systemic Optimization ), leading benefits across six dimensions (Product lifetime extension, Intensive use Product, efficiency resources, resources’ renewability, Material life extension Pollution reduction), outlining current shortcomings suggested future directions. study identifies broad consensus significance in contributing product design (i.e. Life Cycle Design), but reveals scarcity focusing other aspects (e.g. service business model innovation) resource renewability), which need further investigation. assists researchers comprehending impacts when applied S.PSS, identifying priorities inspire designers revaluate role competence promoting sustainable era.
