摘要：

农业塑料在农业生产中发挥着至关重要的作用。然而，由于管理成本高昂，农业塑料废弃物管理（APWM）面临巨大的资金缺口。作为利益相关者之一，社会公众理应为APWM作出适当的贡献。据此，确定公众是否愿意为APWM付费、明确驱动其付费决策的路径，以探索提高公众付费意愿的举措，对于解决APWM面临的资金短缺困境至关重要。为此，本研究应用计划行为理论（TPB）扩展模型，基于中国北方四省（自治区）1288个社会公众样本进行实证研究。结果表明：a）受访者普遍持有积极且较强烈的付费意愿；b）受访者的态度（AT）、主观规范（SN）和知觉行为控制（PBC）正向影响其付费意愿（INT）；c）环境认知（EC）和环境情感（EE）正向调节AT与INT间、以及SN与INT间的关系，对INT产生重要的间接影响。结果表明，多方合作，尤其是公众参与，有助于提升农业面源污染管理水平，这为相关政策制定带来了一定的启示。

Abstract:

Agricultural plastics play a pivotal role in agricultural production.  However, due to expensive costs, agricultural plastic waste management (APWM) encounters a vast funding gap.  As one of the crucial stakeholders, the public deserves to make appropriate efforts for APWM.  Accordingly, identifying whether the public is willing to pay for APWM and clarifying the decisions’ driving pathways to explore initiatives for promoting their payment intentions are essential to address the dilemma confronting APWM.  To this end, by applying the extended theory of planned behavior (TPB), the study conducted an empirical analysis based on 1,288 residents from four provinces (autonomous regions) of northern China.  Results illustrate that: 1) respondents hold generally positive and relatively strong payment willingness towards APWM; 2) respondents’ attitude (AT), subjective norm (SN), and perceived behavioral control (PBC) are positively correlated with their payment intentions (INT); 3) environmental cognition (EC) and environmental emotion (EE) positively moderate the relationships between AT and INT, and between SN and INT, posing significant indirect impacts on INT.  The study’s implications extend to informing government policies, suggesting that multi-entity cooperation, specifically public payment for APWM, can enhance agricultural non-point waste management.
