“…Among them, attitude-behavior-context theory provides a relatively simple and clear view for pro-environmental behavior [ 88 ]. This theory affirms the role of internal factors represented by attitude and external factors represented by context on pro-environmental behavior, and has become a common theoretical basis for follow-up research [ 89 ]. In particular, the theory assumes that there is an interactive effect between attitude and contextual factors in influencing pro-environmental behavior, in other words, contextual factors affect the relationship between attitude and behavior.…”

“…Some questions, such as how individuals behave differently in different contexts, have not been answered. The rise of contextual factors and related theories has theoretically affirmed the role of external conditions on pro-environmental behavior [ 89 ], emphasized the effectiveness of external factor paths, and contributed to the comprehensive development of research. Therefore, comprehensive consideration of internal and external factors to form an integrated pro-environmental behavior theory is helpful to explain the behavior.…”

Realistic environmental problems drive the growth of pro-environment behavior research, among which the most important progress is about the theoretical innovation and development of pro-environmental behavior. Thus, the main purpose of this paper was to review the literature and help researchers to understand the theoretical progress of pro-environmental behavior. This study systematically analyzed 1806 papers published in SCI-EXPANDED and SSCI databases. It presented the research overview of pro-environmental behavior in terms of status of literature publication, research hotspots and topics. On this basis, this paper further focused on key theoretical papers and summarized three paths of theoretical progress for pro-environmental behavior: theoretical development, theoretical exploration and theoretical integration. Along the theoretical development path, studies mainly apply theories of psychology, sociology and economics to analyze and explain the formation and consequences of pro-environmental behavior. In terms of theoretical exploration, existing studies propose and develop value-belief-norm theory, behavioral theories related to contexts and pro-environmental behavior decision models. Theoretical integration is the direction of future research, such as the combination of rationality and sensibility, and the combination of external and internal causes. Therefore, this paper summarized the theoretical progress of pro-environmental behavior and proposed future research directions, which contribute to its theoretical development.

“…In addition to social and natural factors, there are also some other factors that affect haze pollution. Shi et al(2019) conducted a questionnaire survey and found that the psychological factors of individuals are also related to haze pollution. The psychological will of individuals regulates their behaviors towards haze pollution, thus affecting haze pollution.…”

Can promoting urbanization and controlling haze pollution result in a win-win situation? Based on panel data from 287 prefecture-level cities in China, this paper uses the 3SLS and GS3SLS estimator methods to study the spatial interaction between haze pollution and urbanization. The results show the following: (1) There is a spatial interaction between haze pollution and urbanization. On the whole, haze pollution and urbanization have a typical inverted U-shaped relationship. (2) Haze and urbanization show different relationships in different regions. The haze pollution in the area left of the Hu Line has a linear relationship with urbanization. (3) In addition to haze, urbanization also has a spatial spillover effect. When the haze pollution in the surrounding areas increases, the haze pollution in the area will also increase, but the level of urbanization will increase. When the level of urbanization in the surrounding areas increases, it will promote the level of urbanization in the local area and alleviate the haze pollution in the local area. (4) Tertiary industry, greening, FDI and precipitation can help alleviate haze pollution. FDI and the level of urbanization have a U-shaped relationship. Industry, transportation, population density, economic level and market scale can promote regional urbanization.

“…Ru et al [16] researched the interaction effects of norms and attitudes on green travel intention. Shi et al [17] found that individuals' subjective norm and attitude are important in affecting factors of individuals' pro-environment intention and further influence actual behavior. Wu [18] adopted the structural equation modeling and showed that nostalgia enhances tourists' pro-environmental behavior through subjective attitude, perceived behavioral control, subjective norms, and meaning in life.…”

Feasibility Analysis of Green Travel in Public Transportation: A Case Study of Wuhan

et al. 2020

The demand to alleviate urban traffic and reduce air pollution puts forward high requirements for green travel in public transportation. Thus, study of the feasibility of urban green travel in public transportation is necessary. This study focuses on it from two aspects: City level by complex network and individual level by structural equation model. As for the former, point of interest data on the spatial distribution of urban public transportation in Wuhan city are quantitatively analyzed. Then, a complex network of public transportation in Wuhan is constructed by using the Space L method, and the network characteristics are analyzed. Results show that accessibility coverage is mainly concentrated in the central urban area, and two significant central nodes exist, namely, Linshi and Zhaohu stations. At the individual level, 354 valid questionnaires and the structural equation model were used to explore the factors affecting individual intention of public transportation. Behavioral perceptual outcome, behavioral attitudes, and subjective norms have positive influences on the behavioral intention of public transportation, among which the behavioral attitudes are the most significant, and the subjective norms had the lowest influence. Some suggestions are proposed for Wuhan to improve urban accessibility and for individuals to increase green travel in public transportation.
