Smart Cities and Sustainable Development, Adoption of Green IS Projects in Local Authorities

Smart city teams working in local authorities may have an important role to play in pursuing Sustainable Development Goals at local level. However, the successful adoption of their projects has been problematic. This research in progress addresses this problem by focusing on the adoption process of Green IS projects led by smart city teams in local authorities and the factors that enable or constrain that process. It presents key findings from a systematic literature review; research gaps and future research directions; a research methodology including a draft framework to guide data collection; and anticipated theoretical and practical contributions

Green Information Systems Research: A Decade in Review and Future Agenda

It has been two decades since Green Information System attracted scholars in information systems research. The surge of sustainability issues over the world naturally made Information Systems scholars to turn their attention to understanding how the use of Information Systems is making impact to our society and environments. This paper reviews studies on Green Information Systems(Green ISs) to evaluate efforts made in the last decade. Based on a systematic approach, 64 articles published in peer-reviewed international journals in Information Systems and Business & Management disciplines are analyzed to identify research gaps and propose future research agenda in Green ISs that include the application of psychological theory in the design of Green ISs, energy efficient IT/IS to respond to accelerated virtualization, and contribution of Green ISs to biodiversity. 그린 정보 시스템 컨셉이 등장한지 20여년이 되어 가고 있다.지속가능성에 대한 관심은 정보시스템 연구자들 또한 정보시스템이 지구의 지속가능성에 기여할 수 있는 방안에 대하여 그린 정보 시스템이라는 주제하에 연구하는 계기를 마련하였다.이 연구는 지난 10여년간 이루어진 그린 정보 시스템 관련 연구들을 리뷰하고 향후 연구 과제들을 제시하는데 목적을 둔다.시스템적인 관련 연구 기법을 적용하여 2010년에서 2020년까지 정보시스템 및 경영학 분야 저널에 게재된 그린 시스템 논문들을 탐색하고 이들의 연구주제들을 6가지 분야(그린 정보 시스템도입,효과,역량,설계,의견, 리뷰) 로 구분하여 분석한다.각 분야별 사용된 이론적인 프레임워크 및 주된 연구분야들을 정리하고 이에 따라 앞으로 더 연구가 이루어져야 하는 주제들을 제시한다.European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 734273 (GREENDC project).

Editorial for special issue of AJIS on green IT/IS (sustainable computing)

We are pleased to present this AJIS Special issue on Green IT/IS (Sustainable Computing). There are five papers published in this special issue of the AJIS which reflect the diversity of this emerging and important area of research in Information Systems. Environmental sustainability is one of if not the most important challenge facing organisations and society in the 21st century. Information systems and information technology have a major role to play in both reducing its environmental impact and providing the systems and technological innovation to reduce the environmental impact of organisations. Currently there is a lack of rigorous empirical studies which are theory and evidence based to provide a sound basis for understanding IT green best practices and how these can be best adopted in organisations. This special issue of the AJIS contributes to this current gap in the knowledge concerning green IS and IT with five empirical research papers which examined five different aspects of green IS and IT
