Bus Low-Fare Policy
Sustainable development has reached a consensus in all fields of the world. Transport sustainability is the mainstream of sustainable development goals. As a key component of urban transportation systems, the role of public transport has been established as a critical element in promoting sustainable development due to its affordability, efficiency and convenience. From the description by the previous literature, public transport sustainability generally can be broadly and narrowly defined. In a broad sense, the development of public transport coordinates with the urban economy, society, and environmental resources. In a narrow sense, dynamic transit bus networks, smart technological support and effective fare policy are also related to the sustainable development of public transport.

Smart Cities and Citizen Adoption
Due to the irruption of new technologies in cities such as mobile applications, geographic information systems, internet of things (IoT), Big Data, or artificial intelligence (AI), new approaches to citizen management are being developed. The primary goal is to adapt citizen services to this evolving technological environment, thereby enhancing the overall urban experience. These new services can enable city governments and businesses to offer their citizens a truly immersive experience that facilitates their day-to-day lives and ultimately improves their standard of living. In this arena, it is important to emphasize that all investments in infrastructure and technological developments in Smart Cities will be wasted if the citizens for whom they have been created eventually do not use them for whatever reason. To avoid these kinds of problems, the citizens’ level of adaptation to the technologies should be evaluated. However, although much has been studied about new technological developments, studies to validate the actual impact and user acceptance of these technological models are much more limited.

Supply Chain Carbon Emissions Reduction
While carbon emissions reduction brings about environmental benefits, it can also create financial pressure on many manufacturing enterprises. Many manufacturing enterprises have begun to pledge their own carbon emissions right quotas for financing and the funds from this financing are being used to implement energy savings and emissions reduction strategies. Methods for reducing the carbon emissions that are produced in supply chains and ensuring the sustainability of society have attracted the attention of the world. In fact, to decrease carbon emissions, countries have formulated many policies that are related to carbon emissions reduction.

Development of Analytics Capability in Supply Chain Organizations
Developing analytics capability has become one of the main priorities in organizations today. Despite the increasing use of analytics, the necessary conditions to obtain the expected benefits from such investment still need to be examined. Supply chain process integration enhances firms’ analytics capability. Analytics capability alone is not sufficient in improving firm performance; it must be complemented with employees’ analytics skills.

3D Printing Intelligent Factory
Considering the advantages of 3D printing, intelligent factories and distributed manufacturing, the 3D printing distributed intelligent factory has begun to rise in recent years. However, because the supply chain network of this kind of factory is very complex, coupled with the impact of customized scheduling and environmental constraints on the enterprise, the 3D printing distributed intelligent factory is facing the great challenge of realizing green supply chain networks and optimizing production scheduling at the same time, and thus a theoretical gap appears.

Fuzzy ELECTRE I in Sustainable Manufacturing
The selectin of a demand forecasting method is critical for companies aiming to avoid manufacturing overproduction or shortages in pursuit of sustainable development. Various qualitative and quantitative criteria with different weights must be considered during the evaluation of a forecasting method; therefore, it is a fuzzy multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) problem. An extension of fuzzy ELECTRE I is used to evaluate demand forecasting methods in sustainable manufacturing.

Sustainability Alignment of Supplier during Industrial Revolutions
Suppliers have evolved alongside industrial revolutions, induced by their selection criteria for over two centuries. They have marched in step from mechanization (Industry 1.0) to mass production (Industry 2.0), customization (Industry 3.0), and digitalization (Industry 4.0 and 5.0). They have grown from standalone competitors to supply chains as their selectivity has escalated from a single measure to multiple criteria. Meanwhile, sustainability has remained a pledge with no enforceable indicators in their inter-creditor agreement, leading to a lack of social responsibility and ecological accountability.

Storage Inventory Model
The inventory-carrying scheme associated the proposed model consists of both rented and owned warehouse facilities, where the cost increases linearly with time. The numerical and visual simulation concludes the mathematical approach to analyzing the proposed inventory model in Mathematica software. The results show that a price hike enhances profit despite the negative impact on demand creation. Also, promotion frequency favors profitability, suppressing the corresponding costs. Another managerial intuition is revealed through the numerical result that the stock should be held in a rented warehouse when deterioration in the owned warehouse increases, despite the cost of a rented warehouse.

Open-Source Diffusion Using Government–Platform–User Evolutionary Game
Technological innovations, including the Internet of Things (IoT) and machine learning, have facilitated the emergence of autonomous systems, promoting triple bottom line (TBL) sustainability. However, the prevalent triopoly of Android, iOS, and Windows introduces substantial obstacles for smart device manufacturers in pursuit of independent innovation. Utilizing evolutionary game theory,  the interplay among governments, platforms, and users in championing open-source diffusion can be scrutinized.

The Optimal Supply Chain Network Design
Minimizing a company's operational risk by optimizing the performance of the manufacturing and distribution supply chain is a complex task that involves multiple elements, each with their own supply line constraints. Traditional approaches to optimization often assume determinism as the underlying principle. In this study, the implications of decision making, and causal uncertainties have been considered and analyzed for their impact on the system response.
