Study On Public Participation Willingness And Behavior Of The River Chief System

With the promulgation of the Opinions on the Comprehensive Implementation of the River Chief System,the River Chief System rose from local practice to national action.Due to the complexity and openness of river and lake resources,it is difficult for the government and the market to properly handle the arduous task of river and lake management,while public participation is an effective remedy for the failure of the government and the market.However,in practice,due to the poor understanding of the public participation policy in the river chief system,the government’s emergency response formed a sharp contrast with the social observation.Therefore,attracting public participation is the key to further strengthening the management and protection of rivers and lakes.Whether the public should participate in environmental governance is actually a psychological decision-making process.On the other hand,the river chief is the policy guarantee for the current health maintenance of rivers and lakes,and also the policy guarantee for the public to participate in river and lake governance.The implementation of the policy depends on the actual implementation of the local government.An open and inclusive(code of conduct)government will enhance government credibility and increase the public’s participation in environmental protection.Therefore,it is of great practical and theoretical significance to introduce the concept of government code of conduct into the study of public participation in river and lake governance.Based on the theory of planned behavior,this study was to comprehensive public psychological factors,on the basis of different dimensions,consider the government behavior influence on the public to participate in the long river system,based on the theory of public goods,governance and good governance theory and the theory of planned behavior theory of multidimensional system,the guidance of the comb in the system,on the basis of domestic and foreign research dynamic Using the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze river basin in Jiangsu province and Hubei provinces seven cities(districts)lakes nearby residents of field survey data and information,analyze the present situation of public participation in long river system and practical predicament,how to use the theory of planned behavior research in the field of public participation,environmental governance,construct the index system of the present study,build a structural equation model in AMOS22.0 software,The results of the model were tested for convergence validity,differentiation validity and model fit.The path coefficient and mediating effect among the variables were analyzed,and the internal influence mechanism of each variable on the public participation in the river chief system was deeply explored,in order to provide countermeasures and suggestions and scientific approaches for stimulating the vitality of the public participation in river and lake governance.The main conclusions of this paper are as follows:1.Three dimensions of behavioral attitude,subjective norm and perceived behavioral control,which represent the psychological factors of residents near rivers and lakes in the Yangtze River Basin,all have a significant positive influence on the public’s willingness to participate in river and lake governance,and the influence coefficient is behavioral attitude(0.203)> subjective norm(0.167)> perceived behavioral control(0.103).All of them have significant positive influence on participation behavior through the mediating effect of participation intention.2.The government behavior can not only through participation will indirectly influence participation behavior,and the government behavior in the will of the influence coefficient of 0.240,to participate in the will of the greater than the psychological factors,also can directly affect the participation behavior,government behavior involved in the behavior of the total effect is 0.445,slightly smaller than participation will affect participation behavior.In general,the government code of conduct has a significant and positive impact on participation willingness and participation behavior.3.The coefficient of influence on participation behavior of residents near rivers and lakes in the Yangtze River Basin is 0.467,which fully indicates that participation willingness is the key to trigger participation behavior,and psychological factors and governmental codes of conduct have indirect effects on participation behavior through the mediating effect of participation willingness.
