| As income and living standard of farmers significantly increased,and the rural domestic waste increased dramatically,category is also becoming more complicated,not only cause harm to people’s health,but also become the main factor of ecological environment pollution.Although governments have introduced a series of policies to deal with problems in current domestic waste classification treatment.However,in the process of policy implementation and actual operation,there are still some problems related to coarse garbage treatment methods,weak awareness of farmers in actual classification.For two reasons,on the one hand,due to the rural domestic waste classification as a small public goods,compared with urban areas,the investment is very limited,and compared with other public goods,is another obvious disadvantage,for a long time,because of ignoring the rural residential environment pollution,environmental protection fund government spending is very limited at the same time,causing the shortage of rural public products,Environmental pollution in rural areas has worsened.On the other hand,from the perspective of rational farmers,they tend to emphasize individual interests while ignoring collective interests,which makes it impossible to realize the unity of individual choice and collective interests in waste classification.In China’s rural areas,where social capital is abundant,individual behavior decisions are often influenced by their surrounding circles.At the same time,the government can give full play to the role of environmental regulation,and convert the income or cost of the external environment into the marginal cost of individuals,so as to solve the externality problem of domesic waste classification treatment and finally realize the goal of waste classification treatment.Therefore,this paper takes social capital and environmental regulation as the entry point to explore the impact of the them and their interaction items on household waste classification behavior of farmers.Based on the theoretical analysis of social capital,farmers behavior,collective action,environmental regulation,using the Shaanxi 996 farmer households survey data,through literature analysis,field survey and quantitative analysis methods such as combination of analysis of present situation of consumer waste classification in the study area,using the factor analysis method to establish the index system of social capital and environmental regulation,The theoretical analysis framework of the impact of social capital and environmental regulation on household waste classification was established,and the farmer’s social capital was extracted into social trust,social network and social norms.Environmental regulation can be divided into guiding regulation,incentive regulation and constraint regulation.Using Ordered Probit model to empirically test the internal logic and action path of the influence of social capital and environmental regulation on household waste classification behavior of farmers,verify the moderating effect of environmental regulation on social capital and household waste classification behavior,and carry out the robustness test.At the same time,based on income level differences and whether as a pilot area for clustering regression,explore the social capital and environmental regulation points dimension of farmer behavior influence the difference of the living garbage classification,based on this,advances the optimization of rural living garbage classification governance mechanism of policy Suggestions,and points out the deficiency and prospect of this study.The research conclusions of this paper are as follows:(1)The classification and treatment capacity of research area still needs to be improved: Research rules of classification system in the region in 70 villages,governance model,infrastructure and investment,etc.There are significant differences,the pilot area of 12 village through propaganda,powerful supervision and management mechanism,strong enterprise cooperation formed through garbage sorting whole link complete processing system,farmer’s awareness of garbage classification is higher,has the strong cognitive they sort the garbage,At the same time,household garbage classification has a higher degree of subdivision,while only 5 villages out of 58 villages in the non-pilot area have implemented garbage classification,with less infrastructure and no sound supervision and management mechanism.Farmers have low awareness of environmental protection and garbage classification,and their main action power is poor.Therefore,on the whole,there is still much room for improvement in the participation and subdivision degree of garbage classification of farmers in the current research region.(2)Social capital has a positive impact on household garbage sorting behavior of farmers.At the statistical level of 1%,total social capital has a significant positive impact on household garbage classification behavior of farmers.Total social capital of different dimensions has a significant impact on household garbage classification behavior of rural households,and the impact intensity of social capital of different dimensions is slightly different.Compared with social trust,social network and social norms have a slightly smaller impact.In addition,among the control variables,gender and age of farmers have a significant negative impact on household garbage sorting behavior.Farmers’ education level,family income,environmental tolerance and environmental awareness all have a positive impact on household garbage sorting behavior.(3)Environmental regulation has a significant positive impact on household garbage classification level of farmers.Incentive regulation and constraint regulation have a significant impact on household garbage classification level of farmers at the statistical level of 1%.Guide regulation has a significant positive impact on household garbage classification level of farmers at the statistical level of 5%.In addition,among the control variables,the gender and age of farmers have a significant negative impact on household garbage classification behavior of farmers,while the education level,family income,environmental tolerance and environmental awareness of farmers all have a positive impact on household garbage classification behavior of farmers.(4)Environmental regulation has a positive moderating effect on the relationship between social capital and household waste sorting behavior.The interaction between the social capital and environmental regulation both items passed under the 1% level of statistical significance test,fractal,incentive regulation,constraints,regulation and guide the regulation and the interaction of the social capital of farmers living garbage classification behavior promoting effect does not exist bigger difference,the influence of environmental regulation variable dimension of social capital and the return to interact,The variables of environmental regulation have a significant positive moderating effect on the impact of social trust,social norm and social network on household waste sorting behavior,and the moderating effect of environmental regulation on social capital is in the order of social trust>social norm>social network.(5)Cluster regression under different income levels.Social trust and social norms of social capital show the influence path of travel alienation under the constraint of income.There was no significant difference between high income group and low income group in social network clustering regression.There is a significant difference in the impact path of environmental regulation constraint on the behavior decision-making of garbage classification between the high and low income groups,while there is no significant difference in the impact of incentive regulation and guidance regulation on the behavior decision-making of garbage classification between the high and low income groups.(6)Whether it is cluster regression of the pilot area.There is no difference in the influence path of social trust in social capital on the classified behavior of farmers in pilot and non-pilot regions.Social network and social norms have significant differences in the classified behaviors of farmers in pilot and non-pilot regions.There are significant differences in the influence of incentive regulation and constraint regulation on the classification behavior decision-making of farmers in pilot and non-pilot regions,while there is no significant difference in the influence of guide regulation on the classification behavior decision-making of farmers in pilot and non-pilot regions. |
