Integrating industry 4.0 and 5.0 technologies in luxury fashion retail interiors: A systematic review of digital transformation, sensory design, and brand storytelling
(Elsevier Ltd, 2026-05-12) Ratnayake, Janitha C; Jayasuriya, N; Suraweera, T; De Silva, L
Emerging developments in Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0 are transforming the cultural, sensory, and experiential character of luxury fashion retail interiors. These changes, driven by artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, augmented and virtual reality, influence how individuals perceive space, form emotional connections, and engage with brand narratives across both physical and digitally enriched environments. Against this backdrop, this review aims to systematically synthesise how Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0 technologies intersect with sensory experience, spatial design, and narrative expression in luxury fashion retail interiors, addressing the tendency of prior reviews to examine digital technologies or experiential aspects of retail in isolation. The study adopts a systematic literature review approach guided by the SPIDER framework and the PRISMA protocol. Fifty peer reviewed publications published between 2014 and 2025 were analysed to examine how digital transformation, sensory experience, and narrative expression intersect within luxury retail culture. The thematic analysis identified three closely connected areas: branding and customer experience, the interior environment of luxury stores, and the integration of advanced technologies within retail spaces. Together, these themes illustrate how contemporary luxury interiors operate as culturally expressive and emotionally charged settings shaped by new forms of technological mediation. Building on these insights, the study introduces the Multi-Layered Integration Framework, which explains the interaction between digital systems, spatial atmospheres, and brand storytelling in the creation of culturally responsive and human-centred retail interiors. The review contributes to the social sciences and humanities by demonstrating how emerging technologies reshape sensory engagement, symbolic identity, and cultural expression in luxury retail settings, while offering an expanded understanding of human experience within digitally influenced interior environments.

Personal well-being index as a measure of quality of life of diverse groups of people with visual impairment and blindness
(Springer Science and Business Media B.V., 2024-04) Jayathilaka, R; Dunuwila, V; Attale, D; De Seram, H; Sudusinghe, D; Abeyrathna, I; Suraweera, T; Thelijjagoda, S
Today, the world adopts various assessment tools and indices to measure quality of life (QoL) of different persons. The Personal Well-being Index (PWI) is a popular and validated tool used by developed countries to assess the QoL of their citizens. The PWI consists of seven major domains that define people’s QoL. Thus, the main purpose of this study is to explore the application of PWI in measuring the QoL of the visually impaired and blind (VI and B) persons in Sri Lanka, and to identify how QoL varies with their demographic characteristics. Primary data revealed among 64 VI&B, 34 blind and 30 visually impaired people from Hambanthota, was analysed based on vision level, age, gender, marital status, and the level of education. Results indicated that visually impaired (VI) respondents had a higher PWI value than that of the blind. Accordingly, the age group of 40–59 contributes to a higher PWI value than that of others; while the results signify that the PWI values basically depend on the levels of education the participants received. It is significant that the blind and the partially sighted people are concerned about their future security to a greater extent compared to the other domains in the PWI. Also, QoL was perceived to deteriorate with age. Thus, it is evident that efforts to improve QoL of people with visual disabilities requires priority to secure a fruitful and secure future for them.

Job seeker value proposition conceptualised from the perspective of the job choice theory
(2023-04-27) Jayasinghe, S; Suraweera, T; Samarasinghe, D
The job seeker value proposition (JSVP) can be defined as a set of benefits or values a firm promises its job seekers to deliver once they join it, signifying an indicator of its employer brand as well as focusing on job seeker attraction because it carries some information that helps the decisionmaking process of the prospective employees. In this concern, the job choice theory interprets the actual factors of a job seeker’s decision-making process, and therefore, it could be effectively used in conceptualising the JSVP. However, it is claimed that, in most cases, the job choice theory is not considered the basis for developing the construct of the JSVP. Therefore, taking the job choice theory into consideration, this paper aims to develop a framework for conceptualising the JSVP from a new perspective. Thus, through a systematic literature review, eight factors that explain the conceptual domain of the JSVP are discovered and, on the basis of them, eight propositions are made in developing a measurement scale for the JSVP. This study discusses the theoretical and practical implications of the proposed factor-based structure for the JSVP. Subsequently, the limitations in the present research are discussed, and suggestions are made for future research concerning JSVP constructs.
