Sustainable Development, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 32(5), P. 5719 - 5741

Published: April 9, 2024

Abstract Water is the lifeblood of our Earth, and sustainable water consumption key to preserving this scarce resource for future generations upholding environmental sustainability. In study, we investigate relationship between knowledge (EK), policies regulations (EPR), attitudes toward management programs (APWRMP), perceived quality (PWQ), (SC), enriching existing literature by integrating theoretical framework theory planned behavior (TPB) alongside program (WMP) concepts. This integration forms a comprehensive model clarifying influences on SC. Furthermore, study investigates these relationships within specific context select regions in China, addressing geographical gap current literature. With sample size ( N = 336) participants, employ partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS‐SEM) explore complex proposed model. The finding confirms hypothesized associations, validating substantial positive impact EK EPR APWRMP Additionally, observe that PWQ notably strengthens link perception attitude villagers SC water.

Leveraging Loss Aversion and Self-Efficacy: The Role of Water Pricing and Risk in Driving Individual Innovation for Sustainable Water Consumption

Water, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 16(23), P. 3510 - 3510

Published: Dec. 6, 2024

Water scarcity is a growing global challenge, requiring effective management strategies to ensure sustainable water use, particularly in regions like West Dorset, U.K., where rising prices and environmental pressures make consumption practices essential. This study develops empirically tests an integrated theoretical framework combining Prospect Theory (PT) Social Cognitive (SCT) examine the mechanisms driving household conservation. Using structural equation modelling on data from 429 residents Dorset (response rate 78.3%), we investigated how pricing (WP) perceived risk (PWR) influence through individual innovativeness (II) community engagement (CE), with regulations (ERs) as moderator. The results revealed significant positive effects of WP PWR innovativeness, which, turn, strongly predicted engagement. relationship between these factors was significantly moderated by ERs. makes three key contributions: Firstly, it validates PT-SCT conservation behavior. Secondly, identifies crucial mediating role II translating price perceptions into action; lastly, demonstrates regulatory frameworks can enhance or inhibit outcomes. These findings inform policy recommendations for tiered structures, community-based initiatives, adaptive frameworks. provides comprehensive model understanding promoting water-stressed worldwide.
