Abstract

In recent years, Japan has been actively pursuing the realization of zero carbon cities. However, significant challenges persist, including a lack of effective methods for local governments to communicate zero carbon initiatives to their citizens. This has resulted in limited awareness among citizens about how to participate in zero carbon initiatives. To address these issues, the authors develop a gamified application aimed at promoting zero carbon activities in this research.Through a case study conducted in Sanda City, Hyogo Prefecture in Japan, the authors report the progress of its social implementation.
