社会资本与环境治理——基于公众参与的研究视角

Social Capital and Environmental Governance——Based on the Research View of Public Participation

基于CGSS2018综合调查数据,探讨社会资本等结构性要素对公众环境参与的影响,并进一步考察经济收入水平和环境认知能力在其中的作用。研究显示,社会资本有助于公众的环境保护合作,相比于社会网络,社会信任对公众环保意愿的正向影响更为显著,社会规范对公众环保行为的促进作用更为明显。进一步讨论发现:经济收入水平一定程度上强化了社会资本对公众环境参与的影响,但边际环保支付意愿下降;环境认知能力越高,社会资本的公众环境参与效应越强。

Based on the CGSS2018 comprehensive survey data,this study explored the impact of structural factors,such as social capital,on public environmental participation,and further examined the role of economic income level and environmental cognitive ability in this relationship.The research showed that,social capital contributed to public environmental protection cooperation.Compared to social networks,social trust had a more significant positive impact on public environmental willingness,and social norms had a more significant promoting impact on public environmental behavior.Further discussion found that,economic income level strengthened the impact of social capital on public environmental participation to some entent,but the marginal environmental payment willingness would decrease.Moreover,a higher level of environmental cognition might come with a stronger public environmental participation impactof social capital.
