The role of NGOs in participatory policy-making and re-creating the culture of optimal gas consumption

This research examines the importance and role of public participation as a novel approach in the field of gas consumption culture revitalization, with a particular focus on the role of non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Given the challenges facing energy resources and the necessity for optimal gas consumption, shifting consumption patterns and enhancing energy consumption culture are of paramount importance. The methodology of this study involves the analysis of qualitative and quantitative data from various sources, interviews with experts in management and consumption culture, as well as case studies from local communities that have adopted this approach. The findings indicate that NGOs, through their capacity for public awareness regarding sustainable and responsible consumption, public education, informed citizen engagement, and fostering social trust, can play a significant role in altering consumption patterns and behaviors towards increased efficiency and reduced gas wastage.
