The interior environment as the place where people spend nearly 95% of their time in, has recently received considerable attention within the domain of the built environment. The concept of Sustainable Interior Architecture and Design (SIAD) and its significance have been recognized given its potential for energy conservation, and its impacts on occupants’ satisfaction, comfort, as well as their physical and psychological wellbeing. Although the adoption of SIAD is crucial in achieving the sustainable development goals, its practice is still hindered by numerous deterrents. A number of studies have reported on these deterrents; however, there is no comprehensive review of the literature on this topic. Thus, as a first step toward addressing the present gap, this article provides a two decade (2000–2021) systematic review of the relevant literature that investigates a total of 51 publications. Furthermore, a scientometric analysis was conducted, and the co-citation and co-occurrence of journals and keywords were analyzed to illustrate the scientific landscape. A comprehensive summary table is provided consisting of 61 deterrents to the practice of SIAD that are categorized into five main categories: (1) economic; (2) attitude, knowledge, and awareness; (3) market, information, and technology; (4) education and training; as well as (5) government and professional bodies. Finally, the findings are deliberated upon and directions for future research are discussed.

With the increasing demand for interior landscapes, sustainable interior landscape design (SILD) has become part of a desirable lifestyle. However, consumer attitudes and a lack of consciousness and understanding of SILD have led to potentially negative impacts on design decisions regarding the use of sustainability in SILD. This study recruited 405 stakeholders to explore the relationships among value cognition, risk attitude, and decision intention. The value–attitude–behavior (VAB) model method was adopted to evaluate stakeholders’ cognitions and attitudes toward sustainable design and factors that influence sustainable design practices. The results demonstrated a positive correlation between multistakeholders’ value cognition, risk attitude, and SILD decisions. The relationship between value cognition and SILD decision intention is mediated by risk attitude. Furthermore, the value cognition of multistakeholders impacts risk attitude on the practice of SILD, thus changing design decisions. These findings provide insights into the sustainability of interior landscapes and design, particularly in terms of addressing diverse needs within multistakeholder practices.

Museum space narrative continues to develop today. The exhibition is not only a means of display but also a means of narrative. Paying attention to the narrative means we must pay attention to the energy "field" of the spatial narrative. In the spatial field, an object with some internal force exerts a force on the object it is not touching, and the latter responds to that force, and the two interact and form an energy field. This also means the spatial narrative design must establish a more diverse relationship between exhibits. Exhibits must be appropriately combined according to the narrative logic, and the relationship between exhibits and space, exhibits, and audience must also become more dynamic, flexible, and dramatic. Currently, there is little research on the energy "field" in the narrative design of museum spaces. In the past, the monotonous experience of a museum has been that each space is neat and uniform, which can easily lead to aesthetic fatigue. The relatively simple narrative form of the museum leads to the problem of low audience experience and participation. It cannot meet modern people's museum experience and spiritual pursuit needs. Therefore, this study aims to clarify the representation of its energy field by using the theory of spatial narrative, and especially to explore how the concept of "field" can be used to explore the relationship between space and the narrative of Hunan Provincial Museum. This study adopts the method of field investigation, and the exhibition of the Mawangdui Han Tomb in the Hunan Provincial Museum is the focus of the study. Documenting the components of the energy field: exhibits, exhibition Spaces, and narratives. The analysis results show that the museum is the place of spatial narrative, and the space is both the coordinator and the result of the generation of the exhibition structure, which gathers scattered energy together to build a complete energy field. Paying attention to the display of the energy field can improve the audience's experience and participation, which proves to be beneficial to the long-term development of the museum.

While identifying firms’ green motivation for responsible innovation is a hot topic in the literature, many questions about these drivers in developing countries still need to be answered. This study aims to empirically influence Chinese construction firms’ primary motivations for adopting responsible innovation. To achieve this goal, a conceptual model was developed using partial least squares analysis and tested on data from contracting firms in the construction industry. This study shows that a combination of green intrinsic and extrinsic motivation factors triggers responsible innovation. However, in the Chinese construction industry, extrinsic incentives, such as recognition, subsidies, and reputation, partly influence responsible innovation through intrinsic motivation. The analysis further suggests that corporate social responsibility moderates the relationship between green motivation and responsible innovation through the ability to adopt appropriate responsible innovation responses by combining intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Furthermore, firms with more effective resource commitments tend to engage in more responsible innovation activities. This study contributes to a more detailed understanding of the factors that drive responsible innovation.
