Abstract

In recent years, the disharmonious relationship between human beings and the natural environment has become increasingly evident,and ecological and environmental problems have become progressively more serious.Public participation in pro-environmental behaviour is an important measure for the effective protection of the ecological environment and the real realisation of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.However, few current studies on pro-environmental behaviours have analysed pro-environmental behaviours from the perspective of the effects of environmental governance.Therefore,based on the theory of "attitude-behaviour-situation", this study constructed an ordered probability unit model to investigate the impact of environmental governance on public participation in pro-environmental behaviours.The empirical test was conducted by using data from a sample of 7617 households from the 2021 China General Social Survey using stata 17.0 software. The results show that environmental governance effects significantly influence citizens' private domain pro-environmental behaviour, while the effects are insignificant in terms of public domain pro-environmental behaviour. Meanwhile, through the heterogeneity test, it was found that age and socio-economic status positively motivate public participation in private pro-environmental behaviours, while the number of family members negatively motivates public participation in private pro-environmental behaviours.The results of this paper have some implications for environmental governance.
