流域管理公众参与的决定因素:制度分析与发展框架的应用

[Objective and Method]Increasingly,adaptive processes and decentralization are vital aspects of watershed governance.A significant gap exists in our understanding of the factors that facilitate public participation in China.In this study,we combine the Institutional Analysis and Development framework with multiple models and ordered probit regression to investigate empirically the determinants of willingness to participate(WTP)and actual participation of the public in integrated watershed management(IWM)planning and implementation activities.Data derived from questionnaires are used to define stakeholders'perceptions of IWM.The sustainability of the regional conservation plan is primarily based on the satisfaction of citizens with management performance.Considering the importance of the terrestrial-aquatic interface for watershed integrity,we also investigated the effectiveness and appropriateness of watershed forest management in the Min River Basin,Fujian,China.[Result]We find that individual environmental intention and behavior are influenced by biophysical conditions,rules-in-use,socioeconomic characteristics,and interactional capacity,to varying extents.The results also show that information-sharing significantly improves the WTP and actual public participation in IWM.Interpersonal communication and cross-reach support in an interactional capacity are also significantly correlated with WTP,while the overall performance of governance and inappropriate forest practices influence intention and behavior.Participants were more inclined to engage in river basin activities if they had previously observed poor forest management behavior(e.g.,burning slash and shrub,clear-cutting,logging within a riparian zone,herbicide and pesticide use).The biophysical conditions and socioeconomic characteristics of the watershed do not markedly affect WTP but shape actual participation behavior.[Conclusion]The results of this work reinforce the necessity for an integrated and holistic approach to regional watershed resource management.These findings provide workable insights into the social and institutional factors that shape the participation by individuals in watershed governance as it moves towards a decentralized and sustainable future.
