Along the line that "Leave No Litter" (LNL) in protected areas is promoted globally, Hong Kong launched its LNL campaign in 2016. The success of the campaign is critically dependent on the compliance of the park visitors. Because behavioral intention is influenced by determinants of different domains, this study adopted a multilevel perspective to examine how demographic, psychological, and situational variables affected LNL intention using a voluntary response sample of 374 hikers in Hong Kong. The results indicated that attitude, perceived behavioral control, and preparedness were significant predictors of LNL intention, indicating the direct associations between them. Furthermore, preparedness mediated the effects of attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control on LNL intention. The findings of this paper may contribute to the body of knowledge on pro-environmental behavior of recreationists by providing a novel understanding of LNL intention of Hong Kong hikers. Furthermore, this study may cast light on the sustainable management of protected areas in Hong Kong as well as cities around the world.
随着“保护地无垃圾”（LNL）活动在全球范围内的推广，香港于 2016 年开展了 LNL 活动。该活动的成功与否关键取决于游客的遵守情况。由于行为意图受到不同领域的决定因素的影响，本研究采用多层次视角，使用香港 374 名徒步旅行者的自愿回复样本，考察了人口统计学、心理学和情境变量如何影响 LNL 意图。结果表明，态度、感知行为控制和准备度是 LNL 意图的重要预测指标，表明它们之间存在直接关联。此外，准备度中介了态度、主观规范和感知行为控制对 LNL 意图的影响。本文的研究结果可能通过提供对香港徒步旅行者 LNL 意图的新颖理解，为娱乐游客的环保行为知识体系做出贡献。此外，本研究还可能为香港乃至全球的保护区的可持续管理提供参考。
