“…IRHS relates to the supply of public goods and is also concerned with the characteristics of private goods because the government attends to IRHS while the farmers contribute to the improvement of the environment around their houses. Farmers' participation in IRHS is guided by the government to promote the appearance of villages and, taking the periphery of rural households as the model, to attend to the centralized treatment of domestic waste and domestic sewage, human and animal waste treatment, environmental greening, debris management, and other activities [10,18]. Although IRHS covers a range of features, depending on the rural reality, this study mainly focuses on two aspects: the centralized treatment of domestic waste and domestic sewage.…”

Based on social embeddedness theory, this paper aims to explore the influence mechanism of network embeddedness and environmental awareness on farmers’ participation in improving rural human settlements (IRHS). This research applies the Logit model and the Bootstrap method, using survey data from 495 farmers in Hubei Province, China. The results show that: (1) relational embeddedness has a significant negative impact on the centralized treatment of farmers’ domestic sewage, implying that strengthening the relationship between farmers and households helps to provide them with centralized treatment for domestic sewage; (2) environmental awareness has a significant positive impact on the centralized treatment of farmers’ domestic sewage, implying that the enhancement of farmers’ environmental awareness increases the promotion centralized treatment for domestic sewage; and (3) structural embeddedness can further affects farmers’ environmental awareness and then affects their participation in the centralized treatment of domestic sewage, implying that environmental awareness has a mediating effect between structural embeddedness and the centralized treatment of farmers’ domestic sewage. Overall, it is necessary not only to encourage the establishment of extension and discussion networks for farmers (relational embeddedness) to participate in IRHS but also to improve environmental education for farmers, especially by increasing their access to environmental knowledge and information (environmental awareness in mountainous areas, and, finally to support farmers. The relationship between the members and the village cadres (structural embeddedness) can further improve farmers’ awareness of participation in IRHS to better guide them in the centralized treatment of domestic waste and domestic sewage.

“…In the process of participating in environmental governance and implementing various PEB, people will not only be affected by their own environmental attitude, but also by their satisfaction with government governance. If people are more satisfied with the government's environmental governance, and has more confidence on the effects of environmental policy instruments, they will have relatively strong intention to participate in environmental governance, and relatively large possibility to implement PEB as well [28]. Consequently, environmental attitude was devided into citizens' attitude towards environmental protection and public satisfaction with the government's environmental governance in this paper and proposed the following hypothesis: -H2 Environmental attitude has a positive impact on public sphere pro-environmental behavior.…”

For a long time, China's economic and social development has been faced with the situation of "high cost, high pollution and high energy consumption", with a relatively low environmental performance index in the world. China's environmental governance is also considered as a government-dominated "monologue". In recent years, with the participation of multiple subjects and the development of big data technology and new media platforms, a form of decentered regulation has developed [1-2], and ways for the public to participate have gradually increased, among which online Weibo and WeChat official accounts have become the channels for the public to participate in environmental governance [3][4][5]. After the implementation of the new Environmental Protection Law, the intensity of government regulation have

“…Depending on the findings of these studies, the factors affecting rural residents' willingness to participate in improving their rural living environments were divided into external factors at the objective level and internal factors at the subjective level. In terms of objective-level influencing factors, the main factors are institutional incentives and constraints (Maryia et al, 2015), social norms (Sun et al, 2020), and information supply (Starr and Nicolson, 2015). In terms of the influencing factors of rural residents' subjective level, the main factors are environmental cognition (Sun, 2019), demographic characteristics (Miafodzyeva and Brandt, 2013), and transportation conditions (Liu and Huang, 2014).…”

Maintaining the sustained improvement of human living environments in rural areas while improving habitats poses a substantial challenge. While promoting participation by rural residents is key to achieving the improvement of rural living environments, existing studies have mostly focused on the “net effect” single factors have on their participation. However, few studies have considered the combined effects of multiple characteristics in complex contexts. In this study, a revised model of planned behavior is constructed, based on configuration theory; the histories of pathways that influence rural households’ willingness to participate in improving rural living environments are also explored. The perspective of concurrent causality is adopted, and this study examines whether a “mutual substitution effect” exists between the antecedent conditions in different paths. A questionnaire survey was conducted in six provinces (including autonomous regions) in less-developed areas of China. Six configuration paths of rural residents’ higher willingness to participate in the improvement of rural living environments were obtained using fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis. The results show that: 1) In the path of high willingness to participate, the behavioral attitudes characterized by the “trustworthiness of village leaders” and “group identity” play the central role. “Social capital” and the “trustworthiness of village leaders” have a mutual substitution effect. 2) When using positive behavioral attitude evaluation as a core condition, “educational level” and “environmental awareness” have a mutual substitution effect. “Household income level”, as the marginal condition, has a mutual substitution effect with “environmentally friendly habits”. Therefore, to increase rural residents’ willingness to participate in improving rural living environments in less-developed areas, the level of the “trustworthiness of village leaders” and “group identity” should be raised. In addition, depending on the “mutual substitution effect” between different conditions, to achieve the same improvement in rural areas with a low level of “social capital”, the focus should be on improving the “trustworthiness of village leaders”. For rural areas with a slight difference in “household income level”, the focus should be on promoting the formation of “environmentally friendly habits” among rural residents.
