Blockchain-enabled Personalized Incentives for Sustainable Behavior in Smart Cities
Description
Smart cities must adopt innovative technologies and strategies to boost existing sustainability solutions in order to fight climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We provide an overview of the existing work on the application of blockchain technologies in conjunction with other digital technologies such as IoT for incentivizing individuals and organizations to engage in more sustainable behaviors. We focus on three main areas in which these digital technologies can encourage actions aimed at reducing environmental impact: low-carbon transportation, energy efficiency, and waste diversion. Some notable examples are The Plastic Bank, ECO-Coin and SolarCoin. By analyzing case studies in which monetary and nonmonetary incentives have successfully demonstrated behavior change, we seek to understand the key elements for implementing blockchain-based solutions. We also identify key directions for future research in this area.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
