Abstract

Villagers play an important role in rural water environment governance. Based on the theory of planned behavior, this study adopts a multiple ordered logistic regression model to analyze the willingness of villagers' participation and its influential factors. The results show that rural villagers' willingness to participate in the rural water environment governance is relatively low, and villagers' willingness is significantly influenced by their environmental awareness, attitudes, governance activities, and individual characteristics. Meanwhile, the significantly positive effects of environmental awareness and attitude on villagers' willingness to participate in rural water environment governance are greater than other indicators. Thus, to improve villagers' participation performance, it is necessary to carry out diverse environmental publicity and education activities to improve villagers' environmental awareness and attitude, change current measures of rural water pollution treatment to mobilize multiple stakeholders to participate in rural environment governance, and develop targeted strategies based on villagers' individual characteristics to activate their participation behavior.
