“…Consistent with previous research results, the farmers' cognition was found to significantly affect forest land transfer behavior [51]. However, unlike the findings of Xue et al [52] and Casey et al [53], the study showed that the ecological cognition of all sampled farmers-not just those in specific farmer groups-significantly affected forest land transfer behavior. A possible reason for this is that China's leaders put forward the following important ecological civilization concept: "clear water and green mountains are also gold hills and silver mountains".…”

In the context of China’s forest rights reform, promoting forest land circulation is the key to revitalizing forest land resources and promoting the development of the forestry industry. Based on the theoretical analysis of the effect of farmers’ cognition on forest land transfer behavior, data from 790 farmers in typical areas of Chengdu were used for empirical testing with the binary logit model. At the same time, the effects of the cognitive differences of the farmers with different education levels on forest land circulation are discussed. Finally, appropriate instrumental variables were selected to modify the model, and the IV probit model was used to test the endogeneity of the model. The results showed that the (1) farmers’ cognition had a significant positive effect on the forest land transfer behavior. Among them, in the order of the degree of impact, were the following: ecological cognition, policy cognition, risk cognition, social regulation, and benefit cognition. (2) Among the groups with different education levels, farmers with lower education levels will consider more aspects than farmers with higher education levels when choosing to transfer forest land. By broadening the research into the cognitive composition of farmers, this study deepens our understanding of the influence of farmers’ cognition on forest land transfer behavior. Moreover, it is found that Chinese farmers have strong ecological rationality in addition to economic rationality, and ecological cognition plays a greater role in forest land transfer behavior than benefit cognition, which is of considerable significance for further research on forest land transfer behavior.

“…This result is in line with the research by Kollmus and Agyeman [44] where awareness towards the environment leads to green intention and ended in green entrepreneurial behaviour. As stated that green awareness considered not directly impact Green Entrepreneurial Behaviour because in the previous research by Xue et al [45]. Green Awareness needs to be mediated by other variables then it can directly impact.…”

“…This result is in line with the research by Kollmus and Agyeman [44] that stated that green awareness needs to be meditated to act then it will lead to behaviour. Green Knowledge considered does not directly affect the green entrepreneurial behaviour based on the previous research that stated that green knowledge needs to be mediated by other variables to reach entrepreneurial behaviour because of its gap between one another [45]. It can be interpreted that how deep the understanding of millennials in Indonesia with the term "green" and knowledge about it, can give a positive direction to the intention of being green entrepreneurs and lead to green entrepreneurial behaviour.…”

The number of young entrepreneurs in Indonesia is very low when compared to global data. Meanwhile, environmental issues in Indonesia are in a state of emergency. We are interested in conducting research on millennials as a productive generation and, according to several studies, a generation with high environmental awareness. The purpose of this study is to assess their desire to become environmentally conscious entrepreneurs. The variables used in this study are Green Awareness and Green Knowledge, which will be reflected in their Green Entrepreneurial Behavior via the mediation of Green Entrepreneurial Intention. This study differs from previous studies in that it investigates the millennial generation, not only their desire to become environmentally friendly entrepreneurs, but also their future behavior once they become entrepreneurs. Data was gathered through the use of an online questionnaire, specifically a Google form. Purposive sampling was used, yielding 217 responses from millennials living in and around Jakarta, a metropolitan city known for producing the most young entrepreneurs. The data was processed using PLS-SEM (Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling) with SmartPLS 3.2.8. According to the study's findings, improving Green Awareness and Green Knowledge could lead to an increase in environmentally conscious entrepreneurs. The government, educational institutions, and the companies can work together to carry out environmental awareness campaigns and provide environmental knowledge so that future entrepreneurs can become environmentally oriented entrepreneurs.

“…This could be accomplished via market regulation, ecological compensation and ecological protection incentives [39,[41][42][43] and would alleviate environmental damage. More importantly, in fragile ecological areas, an ecological red line should be strictly defined and a new pattern of urban-rural integration should be developed [44][45][46].…”

Analyzing Macro-Level Ecological Change and Micro-Level Farmer Behavior in Manas River Basin, China

Environmental degradation is closely related to unreasonable land use behaviors by farmers. In this study, participatory rural assessment (PRA) is used to conduct a detailed survey of farmers and plots and to collect relevant natural and social statistics. The accuracy of remote sensing data is verified by comparative analysis, and the change in status of various land use types in each research period is reflected by the change in the dynamic degree and change in range. We examine how farmers’ attitudes and behaviors affect environmental degradation, using a sample of 403 farmers in China’s Manas River Basin. Due to age, education, income and other differences, farmers’ land use behaviors, as well as their attitude toward and feelings about environmental degradation, vary greatly. We found that most farmers considered the environment to be very important to their lives and crop production, but nearly 21% did not know the causes of environmental degradation and nearly 8% did not consider the environmental impacts of their crop production activities. A new model for oasis expansion—land integration—is presented here. This model can increase the area of cultivated land, reduce cultivated land fragmentation, save irrigation water, improve the field microclimate and form a good ecological cycle. Through land transfer, ecological compensation and ecological protection incentives, the government should guide farmers’ land use behaviors toward cooperation with the river basin’s ecological protection and land use planning.
