Abstract

Objectives: It is vital to improve the willingness of citizens’ participation in communities environmental governance, which contribute to promoting primary-level environmental governance. This study based on Theory of Planned Behavior (DTPB) and 1,573 survey samples analysis from three eco-cities in Fujian province. In this study we found that citizens in Fuzhou and Xiamen have higher participation intention to urban community environmental governance; the attitude and perceived behavioral control of citizens participating in urban community environmental governance have positive effects, while subjective norms have no significant effects on their participation intention to governance; perceived usefulness, perceived compatibility, convenient conditions and self-efficacy all have indirect positive effects on citizens' participation intention, but perceived ease of use has indirect negative effects on citizens' participation intention. Therefore, the authority should build a mechanism to cultivate citizens’ participate intention and capacity in community environmental governance, which depend on the concept of public value and the perspective of citizens' psychological cognitive factors.
