AbstractIndia is the third-largest contributor to global energy-use and anthropogenic carbon emissions. India’s urban energy transitions are critical to meet its climate goals due to the country’s rapid urbanization. However, no baseline urban energy-use dataset covers all Indian urban districts in ways that align with national totals and integrate social-economic-infrastructural attributes to inform such transitions. This paper develops a novel bottom-up plus top-down approach, comprehensively integrating multiple field surveys and utilizing machine learning, to model All Urban areas’ Energy-use (AllUrE) across all 640 districts in India, merged with social-economic-infrastructural data. Energy use estimates in this AllUrE-India dataset are evaluated by comparing with reported energy-use at three scales: nation-wide, state-wide, and city-level. Spatially granular AllUrE data aggregated nationally show good agreement with national totals (<2% difference). The goodness-of-fit ranged from 0.78–0.95 for comparison with state-level totals, and 0.90–0.99 with city-level data for different sectors. The relatively strong alignment at all three spatial scales demonstrates the value of AllUrE-India data for modelling urban energy transitions consistent with national energy and climate goals.

Low-carbon knowledge is seen as having a key role in interfering with household energy consumption behaviors by wide consensus from political and academic areas. Whether low-carbon publicity will help to reduce household energy consumption is still in dispute. By constructing an integrated knowledge-intention-behavior model and using 1335 detailed survey questionnaires of household energy behavior in Henan Province, the central area in China, this paper finds that in the developing area low-carbon knowledge or publicity cannot positively impact household energy-saving behavior even if mediated by energy awareness and energy-saving attitudes. Low-carbon knowledge does improve energy-saving attitude and attitude does not decrease household energy consumption directly. Familiarity with particular energy-saving knowledge would decrease the household energy consumption but not significantly in the statistics. Path analysis unfolds the reason that the heterogeneous effects of purchase-based intention and habitual intention explain energy consumption behavior. Subgroup analysis supports those economic factors of income and energy prices play key roles in explaining such household energy consumption behavior in the rapid urbanization area. This paper gives new evidence on the residential energy-saving behavior intervention among developing areas.

Tujuan artikel ini adalah untuk menganalisa peran pekarangan sebagai sumber ketersediaan pangan, energi rumahtangga, dan uang tunai bagi rumahtangga petani. Bagi orang Jawa lahan tidak hanya tempat bekerja mereka tetapi sebagai sebuah status sosial, ekoncomi dan politik di masyarakat. Disinilah pekarangan, sebuah lahan kecil di rumah, mengambil peran ketika petani menghadapai kesulitan ekonomi yang dikarenakan lahan garapannya tidak menguntungkan. Rumusan masalahnya adalah bagaimana karakteristik desa Wetankali dan bagaimana bentuk pemanfaatan ekonomi pekarangan yang terjadi di sana. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah etnografis disertai survei dengan kuisioner dan analisis data sekunder. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Desa Wetankali Kecamatan Kutocilik Kabupaten Banyumas. Pekarangan bagi masyarakat Jawa merupakan benteng yang dengannya mereka dapat bertahan hidup. Pekarangan ditanami beberapa jenis tanaman ynag dapat dijual untuk menambah pendapatan rumahtangga petani. Bersaamaan dengan pertumbuhan penduduk yang naik, pekarangan berubah bentuk menjadi semakin sempit karena masyarakat lebih memilih menggunakan lahannya untuk hunian. Akibatnya, untuk rumahtangga miskin, sumber makanan pendukung dan energi murah mulai menghilang. The objective of this article is to analyse the role played by house yards or home garden as source of food storage, household energy, and cash for peasant household. For Javanese peasant, yard was not only a  place for work, but also a space to represent economy and social status. The importance of house yards is felt in difficult situation such as economic crises and corpse failure. Research questions in this anysisis are how about the characteristics of Wetankali village and how about the pattern of using home garden or home yard there. Research method used is etnography with survey using questionaire and secondary data analysis. The research was conducted in Watankali, Kutocilik Banyumas. For Javanese, yards become a place for final defence. Peasent often plant their home garden with several kind of plants that have economical value to sell so that they will earn money from it. Along with the tendency of population growth, traditional home garden is changed to become housing complex. Consequently, for poor household, the source of food suplement and cheap energy deteriorates.
