“…Second, such an assumption will deflect us from looking for contextual variables transforming intention into behavior (Ajzen & Fishbein, ). Recent empirical evidence found that the correlation between green consumption behavioral intention and behavior can be significant for general green consumption behaviors, but never close to unity (e.g., Nguyen, Le, Tran, & Bryant, ; Wu & Chen, ).…”

Green consumption has become an important academic and practical topic. However, a recurring theme in the literature has been the attitude-behavior gap in green consumption. Taking the cognitive view in studying consumer behaviors, this study theoretically developed and tested two key moderators to the relationship between green consumption intention and behavior, namely green product availability and perceived consumer effectiveness. Under high levels of the moderators, the relationship between the intention and the behavior were hypothesized to be stronger. Our data sample of 416 consumers in two large cities in Vietnam provided support for the hypotheses. Our study results thus contribute to the green consumption literature by explaining the attitude-behavior gap. Our study also contributes to the broader literature by explaining the inconsistency in consumer behavior. Implications and recommendations for further research are also discussed.

“…On the other hand, government needs to develop new and fundamentally different ways of thinking and working for the effective collaboration in implementation of participatory processes. Nguyen, Le, Tran, and Bryant (2015) argued that government officials' negative attitude towards community participation has been identified as a major barrier to participation, and this research underlines the importance of local government support to community participation. Van Wicklin (1987, 1989), Wade (1987), Khwaja (2001), Katz and Sara (1997), and Isham and Kähkönen (1999) argued that projects with participatory elements increased the effectiveness and robustness of the project.…”

Summary With Public Administration Reform in Vietnam comes more local government responsibility for policy making. Building on the results of a multiple case study research on housing and infrastructure upgrading projects in four cities of Vietnam, it has been confirmed that the community participation and local government capacity in urban housing and infrastructure upgrading projects are positively related. The level of community participation in urban housing and infrastructure upgrading projects is influenced by local government capacity, and in turn, it has effects on the outcomes. There are some important aspects for the enhancement of the level of community participation. These are effective leadership, the financial resources aspect, and communication/information exchange. Moreover, based on the patterns of community participation in urban upgrading projects, it has been found that participation is strongly supported by government actors in these four cases, and a process of coproduction between the local government and the affected communities has taken place.

“…There are several potential explanations. As noted earlier, nearly all residents in the three study areas have incomes below the national poverty line, so economic heterogeneity does not appear to present a major obstacle, as shown in other studies (Acey, ; Das & Takahashi, ; Nguyen et al ., ). Collective action to improve service provision may also be easier to coordinate among slum residents who have uniformly low incomes and thus lower temporal opportunity costs of participation (Walton, ).…”

Standalone, Collective or Both? How Low-income Urban Households Employ Strategies to Secure Basic Service Access in Hyderabad, India

Basic service security remains grossly insufficient for many urban slum households in low‐income and middle‐income countries. While participation in collective action has often been hailed as the most effective means to secure improvements, households also employ standalone strategies to enhance service provision. Yet potential trade‐offs or complementarities between individual and collective strategies have rarely been considered. Using data from a survey of 752 households in the core urban area of Hyderabad, India, this study uses both the exit, voice and loyalty and collective action frameworks to jointly consider household participation in standalone and groups efforts to improve basic service security. Findings show that, contrary to most past conceptualizations, households employ several strategies simultaneously. While there is some evidence of substitution in strategies employed by households, there appears to be little strategic complementarity. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
