Method	Authors	Author’s access description
Concepts of perceived usefulness	Davis [20]	First introduced the concepts of perceived usefulness and ease of use.
UTAUT (Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology)	Venkatesh et al. [21]	Defined the UTAUT according to which the main concepts influencing the use of a technology are: performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions and attitude towards using technology.
	Venkatesh et al. [22]	Refined UTAUT to UTAUT2 with the addition of some further factors: hedonic motivation, price value and habit.
	Wang et al, [23]; Pura [24]; Slade et al. [25]	Integrated the UTAUT model with other factors like perceived risk, trust, behavioural intentions, monetary value.
“World Café”	Fenton, (n. d.) The World Café Community Foundation, 2015	Described Word Café method.
Ethnographic research	Goetz and LeCompte [26]	Dealt with strategies for analysing records or transcripts of human behaviour. They described some techniques such as the constant comparative method, typological analysis, enumeration systems, and standardized observational protocols.
	Fetterman [27]	Described ethnography as “the art and science of describing a group or culture”
	Narain [28]	Used qualitative research design, an ethnographic approach and a diversity of data sources showing how social heterogeneity, land use change and other transformations in rural-urban links brought on by urbanization shape periurban transportation needs and practices.
	Jordi [29]	Used ethnographic research for analysis a socio-cultural point of view perceptions about the health of those who use bicycles as means of transportation.
	Cass and Faulconbridge [30]	Dealt with theoretical insights into understanding everyday travel (from the mobility turn and theories of social practice) in an analysis of everyday mobility using data from ethnographic research.
	Jones et al. [31]	Used an ethnographic study for making sense of new transport.
	Gossling and Stavrinidi [32]	Designed and embedded in a grounded theory approach, the study investigates the mobility patterns of one Generation Y network based on an ethnographic research.
	Brown, Iacono [33]	Described that ethnographic research produces an extra-ordinary depth of knowledge on the context of the research study and can therefore produce rich insight into the problem.
