Bringing in the citizen
Incorporating citizen views through stakeholder engagement enhances the democratic and equitable governance of sustainability transitions. Using stakeholder theory as a conceptual frame, this study evaluates the use of different stakeholder participation processes to co-produce solutions for more sustainable housing in Finland. This study examines how citizens are positioned, levels of participation, and factors affecting success. Data were colle…
Home care process interrupted
In the current study, we examine what kinds of barriers appear with home maintenance and upkeep practices as a form of the care process. Maintaining a home can be seen as providing care for both the dwelling and its inhabitants. To investigate which barriers may interrupt the home care process and how they hinder its progress, we explored interview data (n=28) of homeowners, tenants and right-of-occupancy residents living in Finland. The findings…
Cities co-creating low-carbon housing via social innovation initiatives
Materials changing the performance of the household energy consumption practices
Materials are an essential part of social practices, their performance and sustainability. However, there are different views on the role of materials in practices and the agency they induce in relation to humans. The purpose of this research is to examine the agency of material in the household energy consumption practices. To this end, we analyse consumer narratives ( n = 25) and interviews ( n = 30) on daily home practices. Based on practice-t…
Are people willing to share living space? Household preferences in Finland
This paper explores citizens’ interest in space sharing in private housing. It is based on a large-scale random sample citizen survey (N = 1448) conducted in Finland focusing on multiple aspects of low-carbon housing. Both quantitative preference-related results and qualitatively analysed open question responses show that the concept of shared space use is relatively low in popularity. However, there are differences depending on the space to be s…
Co-developing sustainability – a consumer-inclusive approach to wooden housing business in Finland
The housing construction industry can address sustainability issues by developing its business practices. This requires a shift from a firm-driven business logic to a consumer-inclusive approach where consumers and businesses together enhance sustainable development. By analyzing data from focus group discussions with both industry experts in the wooden multi-storey construction business and consumers residing in novel wooden buildings, this stud…
Consumer tactics
Combining the performance theoretical tradition that acknowledges the co-construction of service encounters with the concept of consumer tactics, this study exposes the ways in which the scripted theaters of everyday service interaction turn into micropolitical playing fields in which consumers creatively make use of situational offerings. The dramatistic analysis of service narratives identifies a variety of consumer tactics that illustrate how …
Pathways to a forest-based bioeconomy in 2060 within policy targets on climate change mitigation and biodiversity protection
While climate change and biodiversity loss have exposed humanity to major systemic risks, policymakers in more than 40 countries have proposed the transition from a fossil-based to a bio-based economy as a solution to curb the risks. In the boreal region, forests have a prominent role in contributing to bioeconomy development; however, forest-based bioeconomy transition pathways towards sustainability and the required actions have not yet been id…
A consumer-driven bioeconomy in housing? Combining consumption style with students' perceptions of the use of wood in multi-storey buildings
Consumer acceptance of new bio-based products plays a key role in the envisioned transition towards a forest-based bioeconomy. Multi-storey wooden buildings (MSWB) exemplify a modern, bio-based business opportunity for enacting low-carbon urban housing. However, there is limited knowledge about the differing perceptions consumers hold regarding wood as an urban building material. To fill this gap, this study explores Finnish students’ perceptions…
Young and Recognized in Service Interaction? Re-positioning Youth and Adulthood with Performance Tactics and Strategic Laughter
Young consumers hold an iconic position in post-industrial cultures. In spite of youth idealization in consumer culture, we know little of how youth is situated in everyday interactions in service culture. In our study, we focus on age-related power structures in service encounters. We argue that customer service interaction is built on the norm of an adult order; that is, to achieve an appreciated position as a customer, young people are require…
