description This research explores user’s predisposition levels regarding eight mobile apps linked to sustainability and climate change. These users, community leaders, city officials and technology experts from Loja (Ecuador), provided their point of view through semi-structured interviews; a behavioral intention methodology was implemented to assess the results. The study concludes that user’s inclination to use these apps is low and that the challenge of the local public administration is to create a citizens’ lab to discuss and share actions that mitigate climate change using technologies.

Esta investigación explora el nivel de aceptabilidad de ocho aplicaciones móviles sobre sostenibilidad y cambio climático, desde la perspectiva de líderes barriales, funcionarios del municipio y expertos en tecnologías de la ciudad de Loja (Ecuador). Estos actores respondieron preguntas de entrevistas semiestructuradas y los resultados fueron evaluados mediante una técnica que mide la intención de comportamiento respecto de los servicios móviles. Se concluye que el nivel de aceptabilidad en el uso de estas aplicaciones móviles es bajo y, además, que el desafío de la Administración pública local es crear un laboratorio ciudadano donde se debata y socialice las acciones de mitigación y adaptación del cambio climático mediante el uso de tecnologías.  Instituto de Altos Estudios Nacionales IAEN 2023-01-15 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículos evaluados por doble pares ciegos application/pdf text/html application/epub+zip https://revistas.iaen.edu.ec/index.php/estado_comunes/article/view/289 10.37228/estado_comunes.v1.n16.2023.289 Estado & comunes; Vol. 1 No. 16 (2023): Climate change: public policies and climate action in Latin America; 81-100 Estado & comunes; Vol. 1 Núm. 16 (2023): Cambio climático: políticas públicas y acción climática en América Latina; 81-100 2477-9245 1390-8081 10.37228/estado_comunes.v1.n16.2023 spa https://revistas.iaen.edu.ec/index.php/estado_comunes/article/view/289/501 https://revistas.iaen.edu.ec/index.php/estado_comunes/article/view/289/502 https://revistas.iaen.edu.ec/index.php/estado_comunes/article/view/289/503 Derechos de autor 2023 Elsa Katerine Cuesta Palacios, Vanessa Karina Duque-Rengel
