“…This result may be because of the high level of highly educated villagers in this group, that is, 23.13% villagers who worked other jobs in the healthy group had a college degree or above; in the unhealthy group, this number was 5.26%. Many researchers have observed that education level could arouse the respondents' WTP for ecofriendly products [48]. In this study, the number of highly educated villagers was too low to show an impact but was sufficient to weaken the negative impact.…”

Unsanitary toilets are recognized worldwide as a threat to ground water and public health. In this research, we investigated villagers' willingness to pay to upgrade toilets in Shaanxi and Inner Mongolia. The study was based on data from 558 questionnaires collected in December 2017 and January 2018. The villages and villagers were randomly chosen. We observed that 42% of the respondents were willing to pay to upgrade toilets, and the key factors that affected willingness were dissemination, concern, gender, living time, and satisfaction. In addition, villagers who lived with children were more sensitive to pollution, especially water pollution. These findings could help the Chinese government's toilet revolution mission succeed by identifying and targeting villagers with high willingness.

“…Studies have suggested that higher income may have a positive impact on willingness [39,42,44,47,48]. Different concerns were voiced by villagers in this study because the negative impact of income was stable in every group.…”

“…In addition to natural resources, the attention of researchers also focused on the issue of pollution and climate change. Gupta (2016) examined the willingness to pay WTP for road transport carbon taxes, while Combes et al (2018) analysed WTP to prevent environmental pollution. Kragt et al (2016) estimated community values to mitigate climate change and the benefits of carbon farming / reduce greenhouse gas emissions.…”

This research aims to know the level of knowledge of farmers about government regulations on the protection of agricultural land sustainable food and identifying the factors that influence the farmer's willingness to preserve rice farming. The location was determined by a purposive method in six villages which belong to suburban area of Sleman regency. Sixty farmers were chosen as respondents using simple random sampling technique. This research used the logistic regression to analyze the factors that influence the farmer's willingness to preserve rice farming. The result showed that knowledge of farmers about government regulations on the protection of agricultural land sustainable food was still shallow. Logistic regression analysis showed that age, farming experience, farming income, availability of credit and land status significantly influenced the farmer's willingness to preserve rice farming. On the average, the probability of the WTPs farmer in suburban area of Sleman regency was low and it was about 53.33%.

“…One obvious answer to the question lies in education. Much environmental research in sociology and psychology has consistently demonstrated that education is positively linked to pro-environmental attitudes [3,5,6]. However, increasing education among a population is a long-term endeavor and this makes the general nature of this answer unsatisfactory.…”

Can Climate Skeptics Be Convinced? The Effect of Nature Videos on Environmental Concern

Much research has demonstrated that videos can function as primers or nudges that influence attitudes and behaviors. Studies to date suggest that this includes influence over individual pro-environmental attitudes. However, the existing evidence all stems from samples comprised of university students. In this paper, we describe the results of a randomized online experiment in a sample of 468 climate skeptics. We presented 3-min nature documentary videos that highlighted either the beauty of nature, the endangerment of nature by humans, or a mixture of both. The results suggest that the mixed stimulus video, which shows first the beauty of nature and then its endangerment by humans does indeed increase environmental concern by almost half a standard deviation. However, none of the video treatments increased donations to pro-environmental organizations. Still, the results suggest that nudging by video also works in samples of climate skeptics, which demonstrates the external validity of former findings.
