“…Examples of these difficulties include the degree of difficulty in finding satisfactory listing, a more straightforward operation of the rental platform, and a more flexible rental terms and whether renters choose to live nearby according to their needs. Subjective norm refers mainly to perceived social pressure to perform one behavior [60,61]. The subjective norm of renting consists of three components, including government support, better network evaluation and the persuasion of friends or family members.…”

In the last decade, the rapid growth of China’s economy and population has generated a large demand for housing. Increasingly high prices have become the main obstacle for homeownership, especially for the young generation. In this study, we investigate the determinants of rental housing among the young generation in Chinese cities. A theoretical model and hypotheses were proposed by extending the theory of planned behavior (TPB). An empirical analysis was conducted via the structural equation model validation to reveal the following conclusions. (1) Attitude towards behavior (perceived usefulness and perceived usability) are the most important factors influencing renting behavior. (2) Mandatory policies and regulatory pressures promote renting behavior. (3) The government’s economic incentives have a significant impact on perceptual behavior control and indirectly affect behavioral intentions through perceptual behavior control. Based on the above conclusions, this study proposed recommendations for the government and businesses. This study contributed to existing theory and practice by providing useful insights into the influences on the young generation’s renting intentions. Furthermore, these findings provide the government with implications for facilitating the sustainability of the housing market.

“…Irregular removal of litter from the trails, which is characteristic in A1, may give an impression of a lack of attention to their cleanliness. This in turn lowers the sense of personal responsibility and encourages undesired behaviour (Wang et al 2019). The consequence is a greater quantity of rubbish on the trails.…”

“…Humans are therefore present in national parks, because they are made available for tourist purposes (D'Antonio et al 2013;Kuo & Yu 2001;Peng et al 2017). In these areas where unique natural values are protected, a dynamic increase in tourist traffic has been observed for some years (Tolvanen & Kangas 2016;Wang et al 2019).…”

“…National parks are made accessible under strict and precise rules (Tuvi et al 2011;Wang et al 2019), which include the creation of trails and other tourist, educational and management facilities (D'Antonio et al 2013;Kidd et al 2015;Pickering et al 2010). Making national parks open to the public in this manner brings numerous benefits.…”

“…Therefore, the basic communal infrastructure is situated, as a rule, only by park entrances, in selected places close to tourist, educational and management facilities and, in exceptional cases, along a limited number of heavily used tourist trails. Such limited solutions are insufficient to solve the problem of littering on tourist trails, because of shortcomings in public attitudes to, and their behaviour within, nature and national parks (Wang et al 2019). Rubbish persists on the trails and in their vicinity, and the problem is especially visible in mountain parks that are popular among tourists, where -additionally -waste collection and transport are difficult due to the topography (Hu et al 2018a, b).…”

The problem of solid waste on the tourist trails of Tatra National Park, Poland

Litter left behind on tourist trails is a persistent problem in national parks, regardless of the country in which the park is situated. The present article analyses the amount of waste on tourist trails in the most popular natural park in Poland, Tatra National Park (TNP), a small area of a mountainous character which is heavily used by tourists. Tourists who use the Tatra trails leave from 140 to 180 m 3 solid waste there per year. Its presence in parks, as well as being unsightly, is a potential risk for fauna and flora. 90% of the waste collected from the trails in TNP is hard or non-biodegradable waste. The waste from TNP's tourists trails needs to be considered in its totality, as recyclable fractions make up about 70% of all rubbish disposed of, and so areas such as TNP should be subject to organized waste management. It was found that the particular strategy implemented significantly affects the amount of waste from the tourist trails that is actually collected and disposed of. The key element for the efficient functioning of the waste-management strategy is the consistent implementation of an action plan that takes into account the specific nature of the area and the principles under which it is made available to tourists. Particularly significant are the frequency and regularity with which rubbish is removed. Moreover, there is a need to raise public awareness regarding waste left on tourists trails in TNP.

Drivers of green apparel consumption: Digging a little deeper into green apparel buying intentions

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The apparel industry's sustainability is gaining scholars' attention amidst increasing concerns about its environmental impacts. However, to ensure that the industry's efforts in environmental preservation succeed, it is crucial to identify the factors that can positively influence consumers' purchase or buying intentions for green apparel. However, at present, this topic is relatively understudied. Assimilating the norm activation model (NAM) and the stimulus–organism–response (SOR), we investigate economic, cognitive and ecological factors as antecedents to consumers' green apparel buying intentions. Additionally, we adapt the model to consider consumers' knowledge about apparel production as a moderator. Empirically analysing data from 478 apparel consumers from the USA through structural equation modelling, we found significant roles for affordance, ecological concerns and ascription of responsibility as stimuli influencing an individual's cognitive state through green self‐efficacy, green attitude and personal norms. The latter, in turn, affects the individual's buying intentions. Our findings entail several suggestions to help scholars, policymakers and business managers positively influence consumers to make green purchase decisions. We contribute significantly to the literature by explaining the nuances of driving factors that promote green apparel buying, and practitioners can leverage them to devise appropriate strategic tactics supporting such consumption practices.
