Evaluating the Socioeconomic and Environmental Impacts of Renewable Energy Transition and Green E-Business on Urban Sustainability

This research investigates the environmental and socioeconomic influences of green e-business practices and renewable energy transition on urban sustainability. Moreover, the primary purpose of this study is to evaluate how technology innovation, resource efficiency, government policy and incentives, and renewable energy help in sustainable urban development. This study followed a quantitative research design that applied “structural equation modeling” (SEM) to examine the connection between critical variables. Stratified random sampling was utilized to select the sample size. Additionally, surveys have been conducted on urban stakeholders to collect the relevant data. Furthermore, to analyze the collected data SPSS has been utilized. Significantly, the results highlight that adopting renewable energy, supported by technological innovation and government policies, remarkably contributes to urban development and sustainability. In addition, government incentives and policies were observed to influence resource sustainability and efficiency positively. At the same time, adopting renewable energy was strongly associated with improved socioeconomic and environmental outcomes. Furthermore, technology innovation has a considerable role in resource management and strongly assists in urban sustainability. However, green e-business practices exhibited no direct influence on urban sustainability or resource efficiency, encouraging a focus on the roles of technological innovation, government support, and renewable energy for achieving better urban sustainability. Therefore, this study offers valuable information for urban planners, businesses, and policymakers, highlighting that integrated strategies emphasizing technological innovation, policy support, and renewable energy can drive better urban development and sustainability.

Abstract

This research investigates the environmental and socioeconomic influences of green e-business practices and renewable energy transition on urban sustainability. Moreover, the primary purpose of this study is to evaluate how technology innovation, resource efficiency, government policy and incentives, and renewable energy help in sustainable urban development. This study followed a quantitative research design that applied “structural equation modeling” (SEM) to examine the connection between critical variables. Stratified random sampling was utilized to select the sample size. Additionally, surveys have been conducted on urban stakeholders to collect the relevant data. Furthermore, to analyze the collected data SPSS has been utilized. Significantly, the results highlight that adopting renewable energy, supported by technological innovation and government policies, remarkably contributes to urban development and sustainability. In addition, government incentives and policies were observed to influence resource sustainability and efficiency positively. At the same time, adopting renewable energy was strongly associated with improved socioeconomic and environmental outcomes. Furthermore, technology innovation has a considerable role in resource management and strongly assists in urban sustainability. However, green e-business practices exhibited no direct influence on urban sustainability or resource efficiency, encouraging a focus on the roles of technological innovation, government support, and renewable energy for achieving better urban sustainability. Therefore, this study offers valuable information for urban planners, businesses, and policymakers, highlighting that integrated strategies emphasizing technological innovation, policy support, and renewable energy can drive better urban development and sustainability.
