Research on the High-Quality Development of Agricultural Supply Chain Financial Ecosystem Empowered by Science and Technology

A systematic perspective on agricultural supply chain finance can offer fresh insights into its development. The high-quality development of the agricultural supply chain finance ecosystem is crucial for the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas and the realization of agricultural power. Based on the current state of development of this ecosystem, this paper identifies several bottlenecks, such as insufficient policy and technical support in the macro-environment system, weak incentives for independent circulation within the industrial environment system, and inadequate motivation for stakeholders to participate in the micro-environment system. To address these issues, this paper proposes that the visualization, digitalization, and authenticity characteristics of the “blockchain + Internet of Things” technology architecture can effectively resolve these bottlenecks. Additionally, targeted strategies are suggested to promote the high-quality development of the agricultural supply chain finance ecosystem.

The demand for reporting environmental sustainability and social responsibility: insight from Saudi Arabia corporate reports

Purpose In countries where disclosing and reporting matters on sustainability are optional, what are the drivers promoting voluntarily disclosing information related to social responsibility and environmental sustainability corporate environmental and social responsibility? Exploring drivers promoting the demand for voluntarily disclosing information related to social responsibility and environmental sustainability in Saudi Arabia, where regulatory and professional bodies have not mandated information on corporate environmental and social responsibility, motivates this study. Design/methodology/approach A total of 48 individuals voluntarily participated in the survey. Findings Findings reveal that creating a better social, ethical and mental image, building a public relations image for the company, improving stakeholder trust in the company, signaling to investors the company’s care for the earth to meet the ethical motivation of stakeholders, enhancing corporate social responsibility awareness and exhibiting surpasses the mere generation of profits, all derive such disclosure. Such disclosure also signifies the firm’s value as well as improves the overall firm’s economic performance. Practical implications Regulatory and professional bodies must issue and adopt reporting models for entities, principally private companies, whether publicly traded or not, of the content. Their reports should aim to inform users and stakeholders about fulfilling the social and environmental responsibilities of entities toward society and its members. Social implications Out of the drivers for the demand, perceptions of elders toward meeting ethical motivation of senior management significantly differ from that of younger. Originality/value Few studies have been attempted on drivers of the demand for reporting environmental sustainability and social responsibility in an environment where such reporting is not mandated. This study offers insight from Saudi Arabian corporate reports.

Motivation for patient engagement in patient safety: a multi-perspective, explorative survey

Background and ObjectivesDespite increasing calls for more patient engagement in patient safety, limited knowledge remains on what actually motivates key stakeholders in healthcare to promote patient engagement. We therefore set out to survey key stakeholders of patient engagement in patient safety (i.e., patients, healthcare professionals, and managers). We aimed to identify and explore stakeholder’s distinct and shared motives for patient engagement.MethodsA stepwise Delphi method was applied, utilizing semi-structured online interviews for determination of stakeholder motives for patient engagement in patient safety. In a subsequent online survey, statements were evaluated and identified. 34 subject-matter experts from all relevant stakeholder groups completed the online interviews and 33 the online survey. We used content analysis approaches for qualitative and descriptive analyses for quantitative measures. Further, we evaluated the consensus on distinct and shared motives across stakeholder groups.ResultsSeven key motives for patient engagement in patient safety were identified. Major motives attributed to patients were: (1) To improve experiences and care outcomes for oneself, as well as (2) for future patients, (3) to express gratitude and appreciation, (4) to cope successfully with treatment-related emotions. A motive shared by patients and professionals was (5) to contribute actively to improved delivery of healthcare. To optimize patient safety, costs, and care processes (6) was shared by professionals and managers. Lastly, (7) to improve patient-provider relationships was jointly shared by all stakeholder groups. For four motives (1, 2, 6, 7) consensus was established.ConclusionsIn order to unlock the full potential of future interventions in patient engagement, a deeper understanding of stakeholder motives is essential. We identified a set of distinct and shared motives for patient engagement across relevant stakeholder groups. Our findings may inform future interventions in patient engagement that take account of the motivational foundations and aspirations of all stakeholders who are key for the success for collaborative patient safety and care improvements.Trial registrationID DRKS00031837 (Date May 8, 2023).

Influence of citizen relationship management system on citizen participation in Taiwan: A participatory politics perspective

Although studies have investigated the development of citizen relationship management (CRM) systems in various cities, no understanding exists regarding how CRM systems operate and how they influence citizen participation. Moreover, limited studies have been conducted regarding the political factors that influence citizen participation through CRM systems. Drawing from data obtained through interviews with key stakeholders involved in the implementation of a CRM system in Taiwan, the present study comprehensively analyzed the primary political characteristics and effects of this system, outlined the political factors influencing system use, and formulated suggestions for mitigating the influence of politics on the system. The findings reveal that the development of the citizen relationship management system was constrained by potential political factors in public policy development. These factors included the dynamics of power relations between citizens and local governments, the politicization of policy processes, conflicts in policy decision-making models involving top-down and bottom-up approaches, the political intentions and motives of stakeholders, and the influence of potential policy actors. Considering the case of the Taiwanese citizen relationship management system, this study provides suggestions and guidance for policymakers aiming to minimize political influence on citizen participation, with a focus on tailoring these approaches to meet the specific public service needs of citizens.

Differences between resident and nonresident hunters’ perceptions about CWD and associated implications: a case study from Colorado

ABSTRACT State wildlife agencies (SWAs) rely on hunter harvest submissions to help monitor and manage chronic wasting disease (CWD). Thus, effective CWD management is contingent upon SWAs’ understanding of hunters’ attitudes about, concerns with, and management preferences used to address CWD. We examined these and other human dimensions constructs, including trust and behavioral intentions, by surveying a random sample of resident and nonresident deer hunters who had purchased licenses in areas of Colorado where CWD had been detected. Our results suggest that regardless of residency, hunters are concerned about CWD. However, we detected substantive differences across the groups’ hunting motivations, management acceptability, and behavioral intentions. These data can help agencies develop communication strategies based on specific stakeholder motivations, concerns, and management preferences. Additionally, findings can help SWAs understand how hunting behavior may change if CWD prevalence increases, allowing them to adjust course as needed.

Understanding the role of local stories in living archaeological heritage sites: the case of Stratonikeia

ABSTRACT Considering experience and memory as inseparable aspects of any place, understanding place attachment through narrative form may provide insight into more diverse perspectives of the values and motives of stakeholders undertaking the conservation of archaeological sites as heritage sites. This study empirically evaluates the ways in which we may understand local people’s place attachment and how that can affect the interpretation and presentation of archaeological heritage sites. The study aimed to analyse the interaction between local people and visitors through storytelling. The investigation focused on Stratonikeia, an archaeological heritage site in the southwest of Turkey, which has the character of a ‘living archaeological heritage site’ having been continually occupied since the Bronze Age. The research methodology of the study involves three phases: oral history, storytelling, and survey. The study’s results demonstrate how local stories can influence visitors’ understanding of the social aspects of a heritage site, facilitating a deeper and more dynamic understanding of the site as a living entity within its historical and contemporary contexts. Incorporating storytelling as a means of exploring the social dimension of heritage sites offers an alternative perspective that enhances the comprehensive understanding of these sites, supplementing their conventional material-based interpretations and presentations.

Mapping of school teachers’ digital competency in the context of digital infrastructure: a systematic review and empirical study of India

PurposeThis research paper investigates the theoretical frameworks encompassing a nuanced analysis of the digital divide in the Indian educational context, recognising that it is not merely a matter of technology access but also the ability to effectively use the resource for enhancing learning outcomes. This research provides valuable insights for fostering a more equitable and digitally inclusive learning environment by integrating conceptual insights with empirical evidence. The New Education Policy (NEP), India 2020 firmly emphasises the appropriate integration of technology into the teaching-learning process to develop relevant competencies. The pertinent question is, for India to conquer the second digital divide challenge, is the pace of technology accessibility and skill development sufficient?Design/methodology/approachThe paper is a desk research, using secondary data from the Unified District Information System for Education (UDISE+), the Indian Government database of schools. A structured dataset has been created for all years, where states are grouped in descending ranking order of availability of infrastructure and teachers trained. A colour key segregates the States into three zones demonstrating their different levels of performance – high (green), moderate (blue) and low (yellow). The purpose is to identify state/s that have moved from one zone to another and, thereafter, analyse the reasons behind the movement.FindingsAlmost all states remained in the same digital resource availability zone for the four years studied, except for a limited few. Despite government interventions through higher budget allocation and targeted policies, growth rates of teacher training in computer usage slowed down post-COVID-19. A high positive correlation between Teachers' training in computer usage and the availability of computer and Internet facilities in schools indicates that an increase in digital infrastructure in schools is highly linked to teachers' training in computer usage and would ultimately translate into better use of digital resources to impart equitable education opportunities.Research limitations/implicationsPrimary data collection through interviews might have added to the critical findings. Therefore, researchers are encouraged to test the proposed propositions further on a case-by-case basis for any state under consideration.Practical implicationsEnhancing digital infrastructure in schools and building digital competence in teachers must be understood in the context of the learning organisation and the beneficiaries' attitudes at the meso-level to expand stakeholder motivation towards digital internalisation. This requires continuous engagement with education institutions as professional learning organisations, which will thereby help develop a decentralised context for teacher competency building. Collaboration, continuous monitoring of the outcomes of professional development programs, and sharing best practices are crucial in improving teacher readiness for digital education.Social implicationsAccess to tangible resources, such as computers, Internet connectivity and educational software, and developing intangible resources, such as teacher digital competencies, will play a pivotal role in shaping students' learning experiences. By studying the discrepancies in digital resource accessibility and teacher technology adoption, this research endeavours to add to the efforts towards enhancing the educational landscape.Originality/valueThis paper seeks to address a critical issue in the Indian education system and contribute to the ongoing effort to prevent the widening of the second and third digital divide in schools, and help achieve UN SDG Goals 4 and 10.

Impacts of stakeholder engagement on curriculum implementation in Ethiopian Defense University

This study explored the impact of stakeholder engagement on curriculum implementation at Ethiopian Defense University (EDU). It focuses on examining the effects of partnerships, stakeholder motivation, and decision-making on curriculum implementation. As a result, a descriptive survey research design with a mixed research approach was employed. A total of 166 respondents (109 students, 51 instructors, and six college commandants) were the participants of the study. Commandants were selected by purposive sampling, and instructors and students were selected randomly. Questionnaires and interviews were tools or sources of data. The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (one-way ANOVA and independent samples t-test), whereas the qualitative data were analyzed through verbal description. Findings revealed that instructors value stakeholders’ support and commitment, while students appreciate the positive impact on their learning experience. The finding revealed that there is a strong positive correlation between stakeholder engagement and curriculum implementation effectiveness, emphasizing the importance of continuous interaction, feedback collection, and stakeholder knowledge for curriculum alignment. It also emphasizes the need for stakeholder engagement in decision-making processes and partnerships to improve curriculum implementation outcomes. The findings of the study may inspire further research and dialogue on stakeholder engagement in curriculum implementation, encouraging international audiences to explore innovative approaches and best practices that promote meaningful educational experiences for students in the field of pedagogy. The researcher suggested that EDU should prioritize stakeholder motivation, partnerships, and decision-making for effective curriculum implementation. This promotes ownership, engagement, and shared responsibility. Additionally, EDU should prioritize stakeholder engagement, support, understanding, commitment, and feedback to ensure the quality and effectiveness of curriculum implementation.

Feasibility analysis of the market-oriented construction management model of drainage project based on evolutionary game.

The construction and operational costs of drainage projects are high. Traditional construction management models impose significant financial pressure on the government and reduce stakeholder motivation. Within the market-oriented development context, reforming the construction management model is crucial for breaking the current predicament. This research establishes a framework for the market-oriented construction management model for drainage projects and constructs a behavioral strategy evolutionary game model involving government, drainage management companies, and pollution discharge subjects. Through theoretical analyses and simulations, this research presents recommendations for the implementation of the market-oriented model. The research findings indicate that: (1) the market-oriented model is feasible both theoretically and practically. Pollution rights trading aids pollution discharge subjects in adapting to the market-oriented model. (2) Ensuring sewage charges remain within the interval [P1, P1 + L2 - L1] is crucial for trilateral cooperation. (3) Simulation analysis shows that intensifying policy support, reducing the cost of technological equipment upgrades, enhancing comprehensive income, lowering the pricing of sewage charges, and raising initial selection probability all promote a tendency towards ESS.

Accelerating the open research agenda to solve global challenges.

Harnessing science-based policy is key to addressing global challenges like the biodiversity and climate crises. Open research principles underpin effective science-based policy, but the uptake of these principles is likely constrained by the politicisation, commoditisation and conflicting motives of stakeholders in the research landscape. Here, using the mission and vision statements from 129 stakeholders from across the research landscape, we explore alignment in open research principles between stakeholders. We find poor alignment between stakeholders, largely focussed around journals, societies and funders, all of which have low open research language-use. We argue that this poor alignment stifles knowledge flow within the research landscape, ultimately limiting the mobilisation of impactful science-based policy. We offer recommendations on how the research landscape could embrace open research principles to accelerate societies' ability to solve global challenges.

Using an ecosystem service model to inform restoration planning: A spatially explicit oyster filtration model for Pensacola Bay, Florida.

The development of science-based restoration goals that reflect the primary motivation of stakeholders is a key factor leading to large-scale, long-term restoration successes. The ability to predict the potential ecosystem service delivery from restoration can inform the setting of appropriate goals and facilitate the strategic planning of restoration activities. While recovery of the ecosystem services provided by oyster reefs is a regularly cited reason for undertaking restoration, few examples exist where large-scale oyster habitat restoration plans have been informed using ecosystem service functions. Such an approach is currently being implemented in the Pensacola Bay System, Florida, where a broad coalition of partners and community stakeholders are utilizing a watershed approach to restoring oysters with the aim of restoring oysters for multiple objectives including habitat, ecosystem services, and wild harvest and aquaculture. Through the process of developing a habitat management plan, water filtration was identified as a key ecosystem service by the stakeholders. To support restoration planning we derived a spatially explicit estimate of water filtration services provided by the eastern oyster in the Pensacola Bay system by linking an oyster habitat suitability map to a hydrodynamic-oyster filtration model. This spatially explicit model allowed us to identify the areas where restored oyster reefs have the potential to provide the greatest increase in filtration service as well as provide spatially explicit estimates of the potential filtration provided by oyster habitat restored. Such information is useful in restoration planning and management and for stakeholder engagement, outreach, and education programs.

Sustainable scientific publishing: a pilot survey on stakeholder motivations and opinions

Assessing sustainability of journals and publishers could guide the choice of a publication venue. However, sustainable scientific publishing is not sufficiently defined. We assessed motivations for sustainable scientific publishing and importance ratings of sustainability aspects of scientific publishing in an online survey. The questionnaire was answered by 129 participants, including publishing scientists, non-academic research institution employees, editors, administrative staff of scientific journals and publishing companies, and individuals working at sustainability organizations. Personal motivation was rated to be important for all stakeholders, especially for scientists (p < .001). Universities, journals, non-academic staff at universities, journals, and publishers were perceived to be motivated to act sustainably because of external factors such as incentives, policies, laws, and regulations (p < .001). The most important sustainability aspects of scientific publishing were the proportion of open access articles and open access costs, a sustainability policy, plan, and report, digital publication, publication of sustainability topics, support of sustainable actions for staff, sustainable operations, e.g., sustainable transport, and social responsibility for staff, including gender aspects. The low response rate limits conclusions. The results suggest a sustainability index for scientific publishers could serve as an aid for decision making in scientific publishing.

A Critique on Theoritical Framework for Adoption of Corporate Sustainability Practices: Iintegrating Institutional Motives, Stakeholder Motives, and Managerial Motives

Purpose: This literature review seeks to advance knowledge of the area of theories on motivation for corporate sustainability efforts as it has been researched by earlier experts. Corporate sustainability has gained more attention in academics and business since the 1990s. Still, there is a lack of literature in the area of motivational theories for corporate sustainability. This particular review paper offers an analysis of 30 articles from journals covering the area of business and management that were published between 2002 and 2022. The paper provides a summary of the growth of corporate sustainability, as well as various definitions, and theories that have been put into practice to motivate corporate sustainability efforts.&#x0D; &#x0D; Method: The researcher employed a literature search strategy, drawing from prior review articles, to investigate corporate sustainability theories and related studies by reputable academics. The electronic search focused on business and management publications, using keywords like sustainability and motivating theories for corporate sustainable adoption. The search was limited to the most recent two decades. Each identified work underwent screening to assess its essential relevance to motivational theories of corporate sustainability.&#x0D; &#x0D; Findings: The results show that the field of corporate sustainability is still developing and that several theories have been employed to measure the motives of corporate sustainability. We believe that despite the similarities and connections between the three theories: institutional theory, stakeholder theory, and managerial motives, they are complementary rather than competing. Most significantly, they can be combined with and connected to corporate sustainability activities to provide a multi-theoretical view of the motivations behind such practices.&#x0D; &#x0D; Research Implication: This study provides a theoretical framework that can be applied to studies of corporate sustainability, particularly when attempting to understand why organizations motivate to adopt corporate sustainability.&#x0D; &#x0D; Origonality/Value: This theoretical model can be used as a conceptual foundation for empirical research on the drivers of corporate sustainability initiatives in a variety of settings. To gain a deeper comprehension of corporate sustainability adoption, it makes an effort to gain valuable insights into more than one single theory.

Getting more businesslike with whalewatching - Lessons learnt from business organizational culture to support effective cetacean tourism management

The foundational research findings in cetacean tourism (whale watching, swim-with-cetacean tourism and in dolphinaria) remain consistent and abundant - science indicates the industry is not as benign as many would suggest with a multitude of studies showing impacts upon cetacean populations (see reviews in Gleason &amp; Parsons, 2019; Gray, Machernis et al., 2018; Schuler &amp; Parsons 2022; Parsons 2012; Parsons &amp; Brown, 2017, 2018; Parsons &amp; Scarpaci, 2010, 2016; Parsons &amp; Smith, 2018; Parsons, Lewandowski, &amp; Lück, 2006; Parsons, Lück, &amp; Lewandowski, 2006; Scarpaci, Parsons, &amp; Lück, 2008a, 2008b; Scarpaci &amp; Parsons, 2012a, 2012b,2, 2014, 2015) as summarised in Table One. Moreover, management strategies implemented to mitigate risk of harm to target species are generally non-effective due to absence of statutory regulation, low compliance with guidelines, and lack of enforcement of regulations (Amerson &amp; Parsons, 2018; Cunningham-Smith et al., 2006; Higham et al., 2009; Kessler &amp; Harcourt, 2013, Scarpaci, Nugegoda &amp; Corkeron, 2003). Research demonstrates threats from activities frequently outweighing the conservation benefits – if any – that accrue. Frequently there are poor levels of education on vessels, and consequently a low likelihood that tourists become more biocentric or conservation-minded, or participate in conservation activities (Gleason &amp; Parsons, 2018).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This commentary is intended to spark discussion and bring some concepts from successful business management into a discussion of cetacean tourism management. Specifically, it explored the concepts of: (a) vision; (b) risk culture; and (c) stakeholder motivations, as drivers that may influence whether cetacean tourism management strategies are implemented effectively. This is an important conversation, as the intention of management strategies are to reduce risk of harm to cetaceans and improve the sustainability of the industry. This paper will also consider the roles of key stakeholders (scientists, wildlife managers and tourism operators) and the potential ideological and cultural divides between them, with the intention to broaden the thinking on how to better achieve sustainable cetacean tourism.

Tourism Management by Lecturers as a Function of Management Roles To Achieve Sustainable Tourism

Tourism provides many economic benefits from its development, and there is no doubt that Indonesia has advantages in the form of high potential in terms of tourism resources. Several obstacles that arise in the process of developing Sustainable Tourism include: First, regarding the use of existing resources based on sustainable principles. Second, the concept of sustainable tourism development can be applied and run parallel to other ongoing development processes. Third, regarding ways to change the perceptions, attitudes and motivations of stakeholders in accordance with new directions and criteria for tourism development. The relationship between Management Functions, Lecturer Functions, and Sustainable Tourism explains that the 5 Management functions (Planning); Organizing; Motivating/Directing; Supervising; Controlling; Assessment/Evaluating) are the basis for implementation The function of a lecturer is also the task of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education (Research and Community Service) which can run systematically and continuously with the aim of realizing Sustainable Tourism through Government Policy and support from the community and various related elements.

East Toronto Health Partners: Collaborating on Quality Improvement

Developing a shared quality agenda has led to a new focus on population health within our community in East Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Amidst pandemic recovery, community members often struggle to access care. Health care organizations are challenged to support patient flow and mental health needs, and to catch up on preventative care and chronic disease management that was delayed due to reduced in-person care. One might think that these pressures would sideline quality improvement (QI) work, however we’ve seen new energy generated by QI capacity-building and application of rapid learning cycles to address our shared challenges. &#x0D; Ontario Health Team context&#x0D; An Ontario Health Team is “a group of collaborative partners (organizations and individuals who offer health services, social services, and other health-relevant activities) brought together under a collaborative governance framework… to work with, and be accountable for, the health and wellbeing of a well-defined Attributed Population.” This context generates motivation for organizations and stakeholders to work closely on quality initiatives. Quality improvement activities form part of a larger rapid-learning health system strategy that includes program evaluation, evidence-based best practices in frontline care, and business intelligence efforts.&#x0D; Approaches within our QI Collaboration&#x0D; -Collecting and sharing patient experience measures as part of Best Practice Guideline implementation for Person &amp; Family-Centred Care;&#x0D; -Strengthening involvement of community members; co-creating our 2022 collaborative Quality Improvement Plan with diverse partners;&#x0D; -Accessing and reflecting on baseline data for our defined population, and building capacity for local analytics. Together with other Ontario Health Teams, we have outlined requirements for data and tools to support population health management;&#x0D; -Focusing on priority neighbourhoods to improve health equity; and building QI capacity with teams of Community Health Ambassadors within those neighbourhoods.&#x0D; Key Learnings&#x0D; Patient Experience: We grounded our work in person- and family-centred care; respecting the voices of patients and caregivers in reporting their level of involvement in care plans and treatment. Collaboration among partners uncovered examples of best practice in patient experience data collection and moved us toward data collection as an integrated system of care (beyond surveys conducted within individual organizations). &#x0D; Patient Flow: Our collaboration led us to focus “upstream,” and to strengthen our ability to identify unmet needs for clients in community settings. A strengths-based assessment across collaborating organizations helped to increase awareness of diverse assets within our community and examples of leadership in Seniors-Friendly Care. We are launching transdisciplinary teams dedicated to responsive support for transitions in care. &#x0D; Preventative Care: An equity approach was key. In addition to primary care practice-based improvement initiatives (e.g. cancer screening) we prioritized efforts to reach vulnerable groups, such as individuals without a family doctor, and those with barriers to navigating health services in English. Rapid-cycle improvement and evaluation plans (co-designed with community members) are helping to ensure that service offerings are addressing the needs of the community.&#x0D; RESULT: The East Toronto Health Partners’ collaborative Quality Improvement work has helped our Ontario Health Team to align and integrate work across multiple organizations – building our capabilities for proactive population health management.

Value Co-Creation Process in Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships: The Case of Hakka Heritage Tourism in Taiwan

The purpose of this study is to explore how multi-stakeholder co-create collective value in a local context. Moreover, we aim to examine what barriers between the participators and what mechanisms could reduce these barriers, and then induce the local value. This paper presents a collaborative project that the university implemented in Jia-dong, a township of Pingtung county in Taiwan. Jia-dong is a traditional Hakka cluster with rich and historical elements. The purpose of collaborative project is to integrate Jia-dong’s developmental factors and help to create local value. This case study demonstrates that different stake-holder motivations and their ability to provide resources, differences are observed in the value creation activities and mechanisms at three stages: mobilization, expansion, and stabilization. This paper contrib-utes in two aspects: first, it highlights the evolution of collaborative rela-tionships among stakeholders during the process of value co-creation, and second, it provides a deep understanding of the role of value co-creation mechanisms is deeply understood while collaborative barriers derive from developing the local tourism.

Exploring the Factors That Influence Stakeholder Participation in Decision-Making for the Moat System Restoration Project in Tianchang City, China.

The driving factors have a critical effect on shaping stakeholder behavior toward participating in decision-making for river restoration initiatives. The participation of stakeholders is a vital determinant for increasing public confidence in the government and enhancing the acceptance of government decisions. Conversely, insufficient stakeholder participation in decision-making may lead to resistance to decisions on river restoration projects. Thus, the primary purpose of this investigation is to shed light on the complex interactions between the various drivers that underpin stakeholder participation in the context of the Moat System Restoration Project (MSRP). The extended Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) describes the relationships between seven drivers that have positively influenced stakeholder participation behaviors: stakeholder attitude, priority, risk perception, trust in government decisions, motivation, intention, and knowledge. The empirical underpinning of this research was obtained through a questionnaire survey conducted in Tianchang, China, encompassing a sample size of 473. The empirical findings discern that stakeholder attitudes vis-à-vis the MSRP favorably influence stakeholder participation behaviors. Additionally, stakeholder motivation and intention have been discerned as catalysts for heightened stakeholder participation behavior. These findings promise to furnish invaluable insights, benefit forthcoming river restoration initiatives, and equip decision-makers with a profound understanding of strategies to enhance stakeholder participation.
