Smart phone users: Are they green users?

Abstract

Smart phones by now have overwhelmed the mobile phone market, to the point that it becomes increasingly difficult to find an “old-type”, classical, feature phone. Although they offer a wealth of features and services to their users, they are far more power hungry, requiring to be charged almost daily! At the same time many interesting questions arise, in regards to their users: Are they aware of green practices? Do they follow them? In this work, using quantitative statistics and Fuzzy Decision Tree analysis we will present the preliminary findings from an empirical study among 313 users that was held in order to answer all these questions. We proposed a Fuzzy Decision Rules based on this data.
