Drawing on insights from this explanatory and integrative framework, we benefit from an in-depth examination into drivers and barriers to biogas technology. We retrospectively investigate a frame of the project \u201cIntegrated Waste Recycling Systems for Agricultural and Environmental Safety Purposes in Rural Communities in Jordan and Israel\u201d. Precisely, our work focuses on the outcomes of the implementation of biogas units in three Bedouin villages in Southern Israel. The adoption and diffusion of technology incorporated learning processes and changing behaviours such as skill development, competencies, social practices and new social roles. Knowledge, and financial and policymaker support were critical drivers. Besides, the involvement of women and young community members was a crucial aspect of the adoption. By contrast, patriarchy and financial capability represented barriers.<\/p>\n<p>We commented on the creation of social niches, and we recognised niche management actions along with the project progression. The introduction of social niches concept represents an extension to the traditional MLP vocabulary throughout a new paradigm of meanings. The social niche plays the role of the agency that embodies individuals\u2019 level and bridges social practices to the regime. Moreover, we conclude that the biogas innovation process was the outcome of the coevolution of technological and social niches. Furthermore, we assert the importance of exploring the role of social niches and niche strategic management in the transition studies in poor contexts.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5803 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adssc.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/tareq3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1431\" height=\"321\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adssc.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/tareq3.jpg 1431w, https:\/\/www.adssc.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/tareq3-600x135.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.adssc.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/tareq3-300x67.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adssc.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/tareq3-1024x230.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adssc.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/tareq3-768x172.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1431px) 100vw, 1431px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5804\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adssc.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/tareq4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adssc.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/tareq4.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adssc.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/tareq4-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.adssc.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/tareq4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adssc.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/tareq4-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Authors: Martina Pilloni, Tareq Abu-Hamed, Sharon Joyce Journal:\u00a0Energy Research &amp; Social Science https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.erss.2019.101328 Abstract The heuristic multi-level perspective framework (MLP) is applied here to explore the innovation process and determinants of adoption and diffusion of an individual project.
