本研究は、海南省の農村住民を対象に、ソーシャル・キャピタル（社会的信頼、規範、ネットワーク）が低炭素生活行動に与える正の影響と、政策認知の媒介効果を実証した。年齢やリスク選好による異質性も確認。デジタル互助プラットフォームやコミュニティリーダー活用によるソーシャル・キャピタル育成と、住民の属性に応じた政策教育の二経路介入を提案している。
English
This study uses survey data from rural Hainan, China, to show that social capital (trust, norms, networks) positively influences low-carbon living behaviors, with policy cognition partially mediating the relationship. Heterogeneity is found across age and risk preferences. A dual-pathway intervention strategy is proposed: fostering social capital via digital platforms and community leaders, and tailoring policy education to demographic groups.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
中国農村部を対象とした研究だが、ソーシャル・キャピタルと政策認知の役割に着目した点は、日本の地方における脱炭素行動促進策にも示唆を与える。特に、コミュニティの結束を活用した介入戦略は、日本の地域循環共生圏構想とも親和性がある。
In the global GX context
This paper contributes to the behavioral economics of low-carbon transitions in rural settings, an area often overlooked. It demonstrates how social capital and policy awareness can drive pro-environmental behavior, offering lessons for community-based climate policies globally.
👥 読者別の含意

📄 Abstract（原文）
Under the “dual-carbon” strategic framework, fostering low-carbon living behaviors among rural residents serves as a crucial approach to implementing green development principles and facilitating harmonious human-nature coexistence. Using research data from four regions in Hainan Province, this study employs ordered logit and mediation effect models to analyze the influence of social capital on rural residents' low-carbon living behaviors and the mediating role of policy cognition. Results indicate that: (1) Social capital dimensions—social trust, social norms, and social networks—collectively demonstrate significant positive effects on rural residents' low-carbon living behaviors; (2) policy cognition serves as a partial mediator in the social capital–low-carbon living behaviors relationship; and (3) the influence of social capital exhibits notable heterogeneity across demographic groups, particularly varying by age cohorts and individual risk preferences. Building on these findings, this study proposes a dual-pathway intervention strategy: (1) cultivating social capital through establishing digital mutual-aid platforms, implementing diversified capacity-building programs, and mobilizing community leaders, including village sages, intellectuals, and party members to enhance endogenous motivation and (2) developing spatially targeted and demographically customized environmental policy education initiatives to improve rural residents' policy cognition.
