Rural domestic sewage treatment is not only an important part of the renovation of rural human settlements, but also a major measure to revitalize those areas. In the absence of extensive participation by farmers, it is difficult to achieve desired results. From the theoretical analysis of the influence of social capital on farmers' participation, and based on the survey data of farmers in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, this study used a logistic model to analyze the influence of social capital and personal, family, and awareness characteristics of farmers on their participation levels. Social capital plays a significant role in promoting farmers' participation, and the contribution of its core variables is in the following order: social norms > social trust > social networks. Among the control variables, the need for domestic sewage treatment, participation in environmental training, educational level, and participation in a village cadre significantly enhance farmers' participation levels. Consequently, promotion of rural domestic sewage treatment should include improvement of farmers' social trust, social norms, and social networks, to enhance social capital. Publicity and education should be reinforced, and environmental training should be carried out to improve farmers' awareness and sense of responsibility, leading them to active participation.
农村生活污水治理不仅是农村人居环境整治的重要内容，也是乡村振兴的一项重要举措。如果没有广大农民的积极参与，是很难取得预期效果的。本文从社会资本对农户参与行为影响的理论分析出发，利用江苏省南京市农户调查数据，采用 Logistic 模型，分析了社会资本以及农户个人、家庭和认知特征变量对农户参与水平的影响。结果表明，社会资本对农户参与行为具有显著正向影响，其核心变量的贡献程度依次为：社会规范＞社会信任＞社会网络。在控制变量中，农户对生活污水治理的需求程度、参与环保培训、受教育程度和担任村干部对农户参与行为有显著正向影响。因此，促进农村生活污水治理，需要从提升农户社会资本的角度出发，加强农户社会信任、社会规范和社会网络建设。同时，要强化宣传教育，开展环境培训，提高农户认知和责任意识，引导农户积极参与。
