摘要

Cleaner Production (CP) has been adopted by China as one of the prime tools in its fight against industrial pollution. Understanding enterprises' willingness to adopt/develop CP technologies is essential to promote the implementation of CP strategies. This paper applied theory of planned behavior (TPB) framework to examine enterprises' willingness to adopt/develop cleaner production technologies. Based on the structural equation model (SEM), the empirical study of Changshu in China showed that the impact of perceived attitudes and social pressure on enterprises' adoption/development of CP technologies was significant and positive, while the impact of perceived behavioral control (PBC) on enterprises' adoption/development of CP technologies was significant and negative. In addition, the direct effect of social pressure on CP behavior intention (BI) was greater than perceived attitude (A) and perceived behavioral control (PBC). Further findings indicated the positive indirect effect of social pressure (SP) on CP behavior intention by influencing perceived attitude (A) of CP technologies. Finally, focused policies are advanced to promote the implementation of CP in China. (c) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Decoding the influence mechanism of restaurant plate waste behaviors in urban China

Yinglei Wu, Xin Tian, Jiaxin Qin, Xinran Li, Gang Liu

Summary: Reducing food waste through consumer behavior modification is important, but gathering representative and primary data to identify influential factors is challenging. This study used structural equation modeling and large-scale direct weighing-based data to examine plate waste behaviors in urban restaurants in China. The results showed that the number of consumers sharing a table and income level were the most significant factors contributing to plate waste, while taking leftovers home and frugality concerns reduced plate waste, especially in large restaurants or when dining with families.

A Study on the Mechanism of Digital Technology's Impact on the Green Transformation of Enterprises: Based on the Theory of Planned Behavior Approach

Yi Gao, Yinkai Tang

Summary: With the rapid development of the digital economy and the continuous improvement of digital capabilities, using digital technology (DT) to achieve green transformation (GT) has become the future direction for enterprises. This paper constructs a theoretical model of DT based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), and empirically tests the model using a structural equation model (SEM). The analysis of microdata from 406 manufacturing firms in China shows that DT positively contributes to corporate GT. The paper reveals the model and mechanism of corporate GT through DT, which has important implications for theoretical research and policy formulation.

Identifying the influence factors of residents? low-carbon behavior under the background of Carbon Neutrality: An empirical study of Qingdao city, China

Shujie Zhao, Weichao Duan, Dongfeng Zhao, Qingbin Song

Summary: This study adopts the theory of planned behavior to explore residents' low-carbon behavior and its influencing factors. The results show that residents' carbon neutrality behavior intention is the most direct psychological motivation for their implementation of low-carbon behavior. Subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and environmental values indirectly influence their behavior through their carbon neutrality behavior intention. Furthermore, perception of energy prices and energy-efficient products economy positively regulate the transformation process from residents' carbon neutrality behavior intention to low-carbon behavior. The study also finds that the living environment, income, and education level significantly impact residents' low-carbon behavior.

An assessment of consumers' willingness to utilize solar energy in China: End-users' perspective

Muhammad Irfan, Rajvikram Madurai Elavarasan, Yu Hao, Mingjia Feng, Dai Sailan

Summary: This study examines the factors influencing Chinese consumers' willingness to use solar energy for households and finds that factors such as perception about self-effectiveness, environmental concern, awareness of solar energy, and belief of solar energy benefits have positive effects on this willingness, while the cost of solar energy has a negative impact. The perception of neighbors' partic-ipation has an insignificant effect. The research emphasizes the importance of transforming social norms, raising consumer awareness, redesigning policy frameworks, and promoting the benefits of solar energy through integrated efforts.

Perception of Climate Change and Pro-Environmental Behavioral Intentions of Forest Recreation Area Users-A Case of Taiwan

Min-Yen Chang, Hung-Yu Kuo, Han-Shen Chen

Summary: This study explores the climate change perception, adaptation intention, and behavioral patterns of tourists in the Xitou Nature Education Area (XNEA) in Taiwan, using the theory of planned behavior. The results show that tourists' perception of climate change has a significant positive effect on attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control, which in turn influences climate change adaptation intentions. Moreover, climate change adaptation intentions significantly influence the behavioral patterns of tourists. The study also finds that political trust moderates the relationship between subjective norms/perceived behavioral control and climate change adaptation intentions.

Comparison of ethane recovery processes for lean gas based on a coupled model

Xing Liu, Qiuchen Wang, Yunhao Wen, Long Li, Xinfang Zhang, Yi Wang

Summary: This study analyzes the characteristics of process parameters in three lean gas ethane recovery processes and establishes a prediction and multiobjective optimization model for ethane recovery and system energy consumption. A new method for comparing ethane recovery processes for lean gas is proposed, and the addition of extra coolers improves the ethane recovery. The support vector regression model based on grey wolf optimization demonstrates the highest prediction accuracy, and the multiobjective multiverse optimization algorithm shows the best optimization performance and diversity in the solutions.

A novel deep-learning framework for short-term prediction of cooling load in public buildings

Cairong Song, Haidong Yang, Xian-Bing Meng, Pan Yang, Jianyang Cai, Hao Bao, Kangkang Xu

Summary: The paper proposes a novel deep learning-based prediction framework, aTCN-LSTM, for accurate cooling load predictions. The framework utilizes a gate-controlled multi-head temporal convolutional network and a sparse probabilistic self-attention mechanism with a bidirectional long short-term memory network to capture both temporal and long-term dependencies in the cooling load sequences. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method, which can serve as an effective guide for HVAC chiller scheduling and demand management initiatives.
