Scenario Writing and Environmental Impact Assessment of Future Sustainable Lifestyle

Abstract

In this paper, driving forces and future scenarios for sustainable lifestyle were designed using scenario writing method. We drew up four alternative scenarios - lifestyle of health and sustainability (LOHAS), cooperation in local community, single and free life, and business as usual- based on the driving forces including aging of the society, income polarization, personalization and time use pattern. In addition, we evaluated environmental impact related to food production and consumption in all scenarios.
