“…The behavioral performance analysis showed that text information could not effectively change the overall recycling behavior of participants in the egocentric group but could improve the overall recycling behavior of participants in the pro-relation group and pro-social group. The separation and recycling of express packaging waste is a problem of public resources and environmental pollution, and such problems have the characteristics of positive externality (Chen et al, 2018;Pan et al, 2014) [4,56], which will induce egocentric persons to avoid their own recycling costs and exhibit hitching behavior (Abbey and Doukas, 2012;Garcia et al, 2005) [57,58]. In the context of this study, participants in the egoistic value groups were more concerned about whether they personally would gain benefits from a particular behavior than whether others would benefit.…”

“…These results showed that information intervention can effectively influence an individual's express delivery packaging waste recycling behavior, mainly in the aspects of persuasive behavior, purchasing behavior, and disposal behavior. Note: (1), (4), and (7) refer to mean values of the control group, information A group (text) and information B group (pictures), respectively, before information intervention; (2), (5), and (8) refer to mean values of the control group, information A group, and information B group, respectively, after information intervention.…”

“…As interpersonal relationship quality improved, the scores for recycling behavior, persuasive behavior, and disposal behavior also increased. On the one hand, Chen et al (2018) [4] pointed out that the intervention of inter-individual behavior will have interpersonal costs. Individuals with good interpersonal relationships have lower interpersonal barriers in persuading and motivating people around them to participate in the sorting and recycling of express delivery packaging waste, and their "cost consumption" associated with intervention will be lower than for people with poor interpersonal relationships.…”

“…How to solve the pollution problem caused by express delivery packaging waste and realize the reuse of resources has become an important issue in the field of resources and environmental management. The separation at source and the recycling of waste is the basic premise underlying pollution reduction and effective recycling, and both actions determine whether the whole process of waste recovery and reduction can be effectively carried out (Andrews et al, 2013;Chen et al, 2018) [3,4]. Effective guidance for and intervention in an individual's express packaging waste recycling behavior is of great significance to the realization of "cleanliness" and "resource recovery" of express packaging waste.…”

Changing residents’ recycling behavior at the source of waste generation is a fundamental way to solve the environmental and resource problems caused by express delivery packaging waste. Information intervention is a common means to help transform individual environmental protection behavior. In this study, behavioral experiments were used to examine the changes in individual express packaging waste recycling behaviors under the intervention of written and pictorial information. Differences in information processing and behavior decision-making among individuals (N = 660) categorized as self-interested, pro-relation, or pro-social were analyzed. Results showed that (1) recycling behavior is divided into persuasive, purchasing, disposal, and civil behavior. (2) Recycling behavior is differs significantly due to an individual’s education background, state of health, and interpersonal relationships. (3) Both written and pictorial information can positively change an individual’s recycling behavior, and their effectiveness is not significantly different. (4) Pictorial information has a stronger impact on purchasing behavior than written information. (5) Feedback from written information cannot effectively promote the overall recycling behavior of self-interested groups, but it can improve the overall recycling behavior of pro-relationship groups and pro-social groups. (6) Information intervention cannot effectively impact civil behavior, even among pro-social individuals. The research provides an important theoretical reference and practical basis for improving individual recycling behavior at its source.

Despite the consensus that enhanced cooperation among stakeholders is critical to the successful delivery of public-private partnership (PPP) mega-infrastructure projects, there has been a limited utilization of the quantitative approach to explore the cooperation mechanism. Drawing on research and the actual practice of PPP projects in China, a quantitative mathematical model using evolutionary game theory is constructed to explore the internal cooperation mechanism. Numerical simulation is implemented to investigate the impact of the punitive mechanism and allocation mechanism on the enhanced cooperation. The simulation result indicates that reasonable benefit allocation and a strong punitive mechanism are crucial to enhanced cooperation. Action research supported by a case study in Dalian was conducted to verify the scientific practicalities of the simulation method. An enhanced cooperation framework was proposed. The role conversion of the government and the private sectors makes the enhanced cooperation feasible. This evolution model and cooperation framework can facilitate enhanced cooperation in PPP mega-infrastructure projects.

With the rapid development of social economy, the deterioration of environment has become more and more serious, it is urgent to find a balance between economic development and environmental protection. Therefore, enterprises are appealed to invest in environmental protection and local municipalities are appealed to supervise the environmental behaviors of enterprises, while central government plays a role of regulation. In order to study the preconditions for a better environmental strategy combination of local municipalities and enterprises, an evolutionary game theory was first constructed in this paper, then the evolutionary stable strategy (ESS) of local municipalities and enterprises under different scenarios was examined, and finally a simulation was used to test the results of the analysis. The results indicate that central government's regulation has influence on the strategies chosen by local municipalities and enterprises, the larger the degree of central government's incentives are, the more possible local municipalities and enterprises would choose environment-friendly strategies;and the intensity of central government's regulation, the cost and benefits of local municipalities' supervision, and the cost and benefits of enterprises' environmental investment are the key influence factors.
