A study focusing on sustainable consumption patterns during periods of instability was recently completed by a research team from Vilnius Technical University. The research, spearheaded by Dr. Neringa Vilkaitė-Vaitonė, Prof.
Dr. Renata Korsakienė, and Associate Prof. Dr.
Laima Jesevičiūtė-Ufartienė, was executed within the scope of a project funded by the Lithuanian Science Council. This initiative specifically addresses the “Promotion of sustainable consumption in external shock-induced crisis situations.”
To gather comprehensive data, the team conducted a detailed questionnaire survey involving 1,232 Lithuanian residents. The demographic analysis of the participants revealed several key characteristics of the sample group.
Notably, women constituted the majority of respondents, accounting for 55.6% of those surveyed. Furthermore, geographical data indicated that nearly 58% of the participants resided in Lithuania’s major urban centers. The academic background of the respondents was also significant, as over two-thirds of the surveyed individuals reported holding a higher education degree.
The findings derived from this research are designed to provide actionable insights into how Lithuanian citizens manage consumption habits when facing economic or environmental instability. The involvement of highly qualified researchers, including the esteemed professors, underscores the depth of analysis applied to understanding resilience and sustainable practices within the national context following a crisis. The resulting data set is intended to inform policy recommendations aimed at bolstering sustainable consumption behaviors.
