Rural residents' pro-environmental behavior plays a critical role in rural environmental governance. This paper examines how the perception of government environmental information disclosure (EID) can promote rural residents' pro-environmental behavior (PEB) using a questionnaire survey. Using Zhejiang province of China as a case study, we designed a four-stage mixed sampling method, which yielded 783 valid responses. We used ordinary least squares (OLS), an ordinal logit model and a mediation effect model to draw our conclusions. The results indicated that the EID had a positive impact on the PEB of rural residents. It is also evident that personal environmental concerns (PECs) play a partially mediating role between EID and PEB. Moreover, the impact of EID on PEB is heterogeneous in terms of residents' age and workplace. This research contributes to insights into the promotion of guiding rural residents' PEB and improving ecological environment management.
农村居民的环保行为对农村环境治理起着至关重要的作用。本文通过问卷调查，考察了政府环境信息披露（EID）感知如何促进农村居民的环保行为（PEB）。本文以中国浙江省为例，采用四阶段混合抽样方法，获得了 783 份有效问卷。利用普通最小二乘法（OLS）、有序逻辑回归模型和中介效应模型得出了结论。结果表明，EID 对农村居民的 PEB 有正向影响，个人环境关注（PECs）在 EID 和 PEB 之间起到部分中介作用。此外，EID 对 PEB 的影响在居民的年龄和工作场所方面存在异质性。本研究有助于深入了解引导农村居民 PEB 和改善生态环境管理的方法。
