“…Social Influence (SI) refers to the degree of influence that consumers feel from the surroundings, including the government's promotion of relevant laws and regulations, and the influence of family and friends. It has been shown that consumers' environmental behavior will change positively due to the positive influence of government, media and social circles (Wang et al, 2020;Zheng et al, 2020;Mak et al, 2021;Hua et al, 2021) [25][26][27][28]. Therefore, Hypothesis 3 is proposed below.…”

“…Therefore, we can make full use of the IOT technology, establish a full lifecycle traceability system for the LABs and open up online and offline recycling channels in parallel (Wang et al, 2020) [36]. It is necessary to unify the coding standards at the national level, identify each LAB by QR code, collect operation data in real time by using the mobile internet technology, and build an all-round, multi-level and full-coverage LAB production and flow management network that facilitates consumers inquiries about WLAB environmental information, recycling locations, recycling prices, etc., and improves the recycling efficiency and people's enthusiasm for regulated recycling through online APPs and offline smart recycling points.…”

Study on the Factors Affecting Consumers’ Participation in Regulated Recycling of Waste Lead-Acid Batteries: Practice Research from China

et al. 2022

In China, the world’s largest producer and consumer of lead-acid batteries (LABs), more than 3.6 million tons of waste lead-acid batteries (WLABs) are generated every year, yet only 30% of them can be recycled in a well-regulated manner, while the remaining 70% are recycled through informal channels, resulting in serious waste of resources and environmental pollution. More than half of the country’s LAB consumers are e-car and e-bike owners. Based on the theoretical model of unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT), this study examines and investigates the factors that affect consumers’ participation in the regulated recycling of WLABs and finds that consumers’ performance expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions can significantly increase their willingness to participate in regulated recycling, while effort expectancy can reduce such willingness. In addition, this paper also includes an analysis of moderating variables such as age and education. Finally, the paper points out the current lack of consumer-oriented recycling management measures in China and proposes policy recommendations in three aspects: system, channel, and incentive ones, to provide references for promoting the regulated recycling and sustainable use of WLABs.

Assessing the health of the ecosystem based on the landscape pattern of national parks can facilitate policy makers in formulating more targeted conservation policies to better manage national park ecosystems. To analyze the landscape patterns and characteristics of the national park, the ecosystem health evaluation index system of the national park was constructed using the vigor-organization-resilience (VOR) model to evaluate the health status. In this study, the Shennongjia National Park in China was selected as a case study area to be assessed using the index system. The results revealed that the patches of construction land and farmland are the largest in number and the most complex in shape, reflecting the obvious fragmentation of construction land and farmland patches. All patch types in this national park were evenly distributed. The results of the analysis showed that the comprehensive index of national park heath, according to the VOR model, is 0.74, indicating that the ecosystems in this study area were in a good state of health. Ecosystems in strictly protected areas of this park had the highest ecosystem health index levels, while the traditional utilization areas had the lowest. Ecosystem health levels were characterized by significant spatial agglomeration characteristics, with high-high aggregation distribution areas, mainly clustered in strictly protected areas, and low-low aggregation distribution, mainly clustered in traditional utilization areas and marginal areas. This study provided a set of ecosystem health assessment systems and their practical use in China’s newly established national parks.

“…Third, they can reflect the spontaneity of herder households and are not completely compulsory. Generally, the livelihood strategies of farmers are typically divided into three representative categories: behavioral choice, family development direction and degree of diversification (Jiao et al, 2017; Wang et al, 2020; Yang et al, 2018). Therefore, combining with the above, we divide the response strategies into three types (Figure 2): The first is livestock herd reduction, which has been the focus of previous research.…”

Herder households' response is critical in determining the effectiveness of payments for grassland ecosystem services (PGES). This study aimed to comprehensively analyze the influencing factors and processes of herder households' response to PGES using the sustainable livelihood approach. Here, we were the first to classify the ways herder households respond to PGES from the perspective of livelihood strategies, and proposed a sustainable livelihood indicator framework applicable to herder household research. According to the framework, we combined path analysis and statistical analysis to carry out empirical analysis in a typical area. The results show that the response strategies could be divided into three types, which rated by popularity from low to high, were reduction in herd counts (19.1%), livelihood diversification (27.7%) and industrial upgrading (53.1% max). Their formation was influenced by various factors, such as the PGES, vulnerability context, livelihood assets, and livelihood outcomes. In general, strict supervision (influence coefficient 0.46) helped reduce livestock headcounts, especially in small and medium households, which used to be the main bodies of overloading. Households with rising living standards tended to explore off‐farm livelihoods, but there were also some households that did so because of disagreement with PGES. Households with higher vulnerability and higher livelihood assets tended to cope with the shortage of grassland through industrial upgrading, thereby achieving a balanced utilization of grassland resources. This study not only makes an important supplement to PGES and sustainable livelihood theory but also provides an important reference for grassland ecological protection practices around the world.
