“…Taking the attributes of events as an example, with the “explosion” of low-grade events such as the “Village BA” in Taipan Village, Guizhou Province, and the “Village Super” in Rongjiang and Meixiang Villages, Guizhou Province, it can be seen that sports events in line with the local culture and customs are better able to reflect their own characteristics, which makes people feel a sense of belonging, and people are more willing to engage in sports consumption. Similar to previous studies 73 , our research demonstrate that the external factors in the motivational model not only exhibit direct influence, but also display a lightening role when internal factors come into play.…”

Spectator sports consumption serves as a vital component in the development of the sports industry. However, numerous challenges exist in fostering public engagement in this domain. Therefore, in order to explore the factors that influence public participation in spectator sport consumption, this study analyzes the intention to participate in spectator sports consumption from the perspective of consumers. On this basis, Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a sample of 25 members of the public, and three levels of coding were analyzed using the qualitative research method of procedural rooting theory and establish a model on the influence of public intention to participate in spectator sports consumption, and on this basis, we reveal the influence of crucial elements. The results of the study indicate that: Firstly, personal and psychological factors are significant internal drivers, while external drivers cover product and contextual factors. Secondly, the key to filling the attitudinal and behavioral gaps is the depth of perception individually, which is of great importance in increasing public participation. Thirdly, external contextual factors impacting consumer support primarily consist of external incentives, social influences, and urban contextual variables, which also serve a moderating role in the integration model. The results suggest that guiding the public to actively participate in spectator sport consumption should be based on an understanding of individual perceptions, emotions as well as attitudes. This paper develops a model examining public motivation to engage in spectator sports locally in China, pinpoints the primary influencing factors and mechanisms, and presents novel concepts for the sustainable growth of the sports sector.

“…Expanding the planting area of trees and vegetation, regularly pruning, clearing, thinning, strengthening patrol, preventing illegal logging, and other activities, the work of forest farmers in the higher reaches strengthens the prevention and control of forest diseases, pests, and fires, and promotes the ecological restoration and the restoration of damaged trees effectively slowing down the speed of water and soil loss and desertification in the basin. For forest farmers, market-based payment can really be an effective financial incentive only if they have general knowledge about the services they supply [21].…”

Freshwater scarcity is increasingly threatening social development and human survival, and more effective watershed environmental management measures are yet to be developed. Market-based payment is an innovative tool to coordinate the relationship between ecosystem services’ supply and demand sides in watersheds, emphasizing the market (rather than government intervention) as the main means to regulate and control the behavior of interest-related subjects. We proposed a marked-based plan for forestry water purification service and stimulate the potential benefits of this plan under the zero transaction cost assumption. We applied and demonstrated the approach in the Loess Plateau of the Yellow River Basin (LPB) in China. By constructing the relationship between the higher reaches of annual forestry investment and the corresponding lower reaches of sediment concentration, we established forestry water purification service supply function (R2 = 0.956). Then, connecting the agents’ cost function of water treatment plants in the lower reaches with the forest water purification service, we obtained the forestry water purification service demand function (R2 = 0.943). Combining both the service supply and demand functions, we stimulated the market equilibrium state. The results show that higher reaches will provide 13.164 kg/m3 of water purification service by afforestation, and lower reaches can save RMB 2.131 billion annually via this service. This study suggests that marked-based payment between areas is feasible for a watershed ecosystem service, and promoting the establishment of watershed compensation market is a rewarding development direction. All of these insights provide a valuable reference point for Chinese horizontal ecological compensation practice.

“…One reason for this hesitance is that the high transformation cost of farmers, including lower crop yield and the direct investment and indirect learning costs of adopting new technologies, outweighs the benefits of FNSP governance (Griffin & Bromley, 1982;Psaltopoulos et al, 2017). In addition, there has been insufficient ecological compensation provided to farmers (Ju et al, 2018) because these funds come from a single channel: a government transfer payment (Li, Shi, Ni, & Zhao, 2021;Shi et al, 2021Shi et al, , 2023, which has reduced the incentive effect on farmers for FNSP governance (Li et al, 2019). Broadening the source of funds may promote FNSP governance, but only in the short term.…”

Clarifying public willingness to pay (WTP) for farmland non‐point source pollution (FNSP) governance helps to establish an ecological compensation mechanism with public participation. This will reduce China's agricultural pollution and its environmental and food safety consequences while promoting sustainable development. Nevertheless, research has yet to reveal the public WTP within China's FNSP governance policy framework. To this end, a “2030‐oriented FNSP governance program” choice experiment with specific FNSP governance measures (fertilizer reduction, pesticide reduction, straw resource utilization, and mulch film recycling) was conducted in Gansu Province to reveal the public WTP for FNSP governance and its key influencing factors. Results from mixed logit models show that urban residents' marginal WTP (MWTP) for improving the FNSP status quo and different measures for fertilizer reduction, pesticide reduction, straw resource utilization, and mulch film recycling is ¥151.62, ¥1.33, ¥7.3, ¥4.85, and ¥3.16 annually, respectively, indicating the highest preference for reducing pesticides because of food safety problems. Meanwhile, the average individual WTP for optimal FNSP governance schemes is ¥513.02 annually, accounting for only 3.86‰ of annual household income; the regional aggregate social welfare of optimal FNSP governance is as high as ¥2038.23 million, accounting for 2.81% of GDP in 2020. This means that FNSP governance can bring substantial social welfare with a low household economic burden. In addition, the perception that food safety has improved in the past 5 years or an awareness of food safety incidents can enhance the willingness of urban residents to change the status quo of FNSP: the more serious the respondents perceive food safety problems to be, the stronger the above effects, indicating the critical impact of food safety factors on the public's WTP for FNSP governance. The study's findings highlight the potential to find socially acceptable ways to promote FNSP governance as well as provide insight into the relevant policymaking process from the standpoint of public participation and food safety.
