OnLegalMechanismforWildlifeConservation:FromthePerspectiveofInstitutionalRisk

YUWenxuan,HUANGSiying

Abstract: In the context of risk society, an effective response to institutional risk is an important way out of institutional dilemma. The deficiencies of the current legal mechanism of wildlife management in China mainly include three aspects: the scope of conservation is too narrow to provide adequate protection for the wildlife; the regulation to the artificial breeding for commercial purposes need to be improved; and the enforcement of law is weak. Therefore, further measures should be focused on the scope of protection, regulation to the artificial breeding industry, and the effective administrative coordination and law enforcement.

ReflectionontheEffectofWildlifeProtectionLawinCOVID-19PreventionandControl:OntheRiseofWildernessLawtowardsInterspecificHarmony

GUOWu,MENGYuchen

Abstract: The outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 has some link with the wild animals in the channel of infection. This link has brought the attention of the legal protection of wild animals, and has also triggered a heated debate in the law field onanimalprotectionlaw. As for China′s legal system on wildlife protection, remarkable progress and changes have been achieved in the legislative concept, legal positioning of wildlife and the systematization of related laws. However, wild animals may become the intermediate host of infectious viruses is not conducive to the prevention of infectious diseases. Wilderness law, as a new legal thinking and system paradigm to achieve interspecific harmony, can effectively make up for the shortcomings of the existing legal system of wildlife protection, and is conducive to fundamentally solving the interspecific conflicts , such as interspecific transmission of infectious diseases.

OnSystematizationofEnvironmentalLawunderthePublic-privateIntegrationOrder

DUHui

Abstract: As the frequency of public-private interaction governance has increased and the forms have gradually diversified, the two major mechanisms of public law and private law have also been further integrated and borrowed from each other in environmental governance. Under the order of public-private interaction, public-private interactions include at least five types, which are absorption, promotion, evasion, substitution, and suppression, and present a stable logic of interaction. This phenomenon of law puts forward a normative task of re-systematization for environmental law. In terms of methodology, we can grasp the main lines of the re-systemization of environmental law from the focus of public-private interactions such as the interleaving of the norms of public law and private law, the identification of multiple interest relationship structures, behavior interaction and responsibility stratification, and the superposition and selection of tools. To promote the systematization of environmental law in a scientific and reasonable manner, we can focus on establishing a mechanism for distinguishing public and private interests from the dual perspectives of system reform and implementation, promote the precise allocation of public and private governance rights through the shaping of the "power-right" spectrum, embed market mechanism and social mechanism into public law mechanism with joint forces, and maximize the effectiveness of judicial coordination and integration by expanding public interest jurisdiction.

FunctionalTransformationandGuaranteePathofEnvironmentalAdministrativePowerunderMultiGovernance

DUANWeiwei

Abstract: Under the background of diversified social value structure, multi governance has become the construction direction of China′s modern environmental governance system due to its characteristics of balancing the interests of multi-agent and improving the efficiency of administrative management. The relationship between administrative and social subjects in the environmental governance system will also develop from "command control" to "communication and cooperation". In the context of the new system, the function of environmental administrative power will transferto balance the interests of multiple subjects, promote the interaction and cooperation between environmental governance subjects, realize the connection of discretion and control, and pay attention to the implementation of due process principle. In the process of environmental governance system transformation, based on the challenges faced by environmental administrative power in public trust, power exercise democracy and power supervision mechanism, we can explore the response path from the perspectives of realizing the balance between social governance right and administrative supervision power, implementing procedural justice in the field of environmental governance, building a free and diversified environmental governance evaluation and decision-making mechanism.

ImpactofResidents′HealthStatusonEnvironmentalBehavior:AnAnalysisBasedonCGSS2013

PENGYuanchun，QUShangyu

Abstract: Based on the data of health module and environment module of CGSS2013, this paper discusses the influence of residents′ health status on environmental behavior. The health-promote hypothesis is partially validated. Specifically, the worse the residents′ objective health condition is, the moreenvironmental health knowledge will be acquired, the more health promotion behaviors will be taken, and the more environmental behaviors in private and public domain will be implemented. The better the subjective health condition of residents is, the more likely they are to implement environmental behavior in private domain, and to exert indirect influence on the environmental behavior in private and public domain through environmental anxiety, environmental health knowledge and health promotion behavior; environmental anxiety, environmental health knowledge and health promotion behavior partially mediates environmental behavior in private domain while having a masking effect onenvironmental behavior in public domain. Therefore, in the process of environmental education and environmental publicity of residents, we should adopt differentiated strategies based on their health status and other factors, so as to arouse their environmental emotional resonance or enhance their environmental cognition level, and encourage them to carry out more environmental behaviors.

SociologicalStudyonHazardousExposureinWorkplaceandItsHealthConsequences:OnContributionandEnlightenmentofAmericanScholars

GENGYanhu

Abstract: Hazardous exposure in workplace and its health consequences are the intersection of environmental sociology, health sociology, occupational sociology and other sociological branches, to which sociology community of China has not paid sufficient attention. By combing the sociological research on hazardous exposure in workplace in the United States and its consequences, the paper provides reference for related research in China. It is found that victims of hazardous exposure in industrial sites in the United States are mainly at a lower level in social stratification like blue-collar workers and agricultural practitioners.The "hazardous exposure -disease" causal relationship is difficult to confirm. Theweak social position and insufficient organizational capacity of the victimized group further increase theirdifficulty to cope withhazardous exposure. The governance of hazardous exposure in workplace faces multiple dilemmas. Through joint actions with the environmental protection movement, the American Occupational Health and Safety Movement strengthened its organization, focused on inviting scientists and ordinary workers, community residents to participate, and actively used the media to make its voice heard, etc., thus managed to expose the hidden dangers of the industry, seek the right to know and reveal the source of harm. The sociological study of hazardous exposure in workplace in the United States and its consequences has important implications for the future development of relevant research in China.

MechanismofCarbonEmissionfromtheEffectofViscosityReductionSystem:AnEmpiricalAnalysisBasedonChineseProvincialPanelData

ZHANGJijian，SONGYajing，WANAnwei

Abstract: With the problem of carbon emission becoming more and more serious, itt is urgent to reduce carbon emission and improve carbon emission efficiency. Considering the role of system in carbon emission reduction, on the basis of proposing the concept of "emission reduction system viscosity", this paper theoretically expounds the relationship between the system viscosity and carbon emission; then, based on provincial data from 2000 to 2016, the super-efficiency DEA model was used to measure the carbon emission efficiency of China′s inter-provincial regions; finally, the modified STRIPAT model was used to empirically analyze the impact of institutional viscosity on emission reduction. Studies have shown that the elastic effect and lag effect of institutional viscosity have obvious regional differences; the elastic effect shows a concentrated and dynamic tendency; in the eastern region with rapid eonomic development, there shows a lag effect of institutional viscosity and difficulty in carbon emission reduction with the introduction of the system. The lag effect of institutional viscosity in central regions is weak, showing the first phase in thelag phase; while it is strong in western regions, showing the third phase.

InfluenceofEnvironmentally-SpecificTransformationalLeadershiponEmployees′Pro-environmentalBehavior

TIANHong,TIANJiahui

Abstract: Based on Social Identity theory and the model of attitude-behavior-scenario, this paper constructs a moderated mediating role model with manufacturing employees as the data source, and explores the path and boundary conditions of environmentally-specific transformational leadership′s influence on employees′ pro environmental behaviors. The research shows that: environmentally-specific transformational leadership can promote employees′ pro-environment behaviour; leadership identity plays a part of intermediary role in the relationship between environmental transformational leadership and employees′ pro-environment behaviour; organizational ethical climate not only positively regulates the relationship between leadership identity and employees′ pro-environment behaviour, but also regulates the indirect effect of leadership identity. The findings enriches the theoretical research of the relationship between environmental transformational leadership and employee′s pro-environment behaviour, and provides reference for effectively stimulate employee′s pro-environment behaviour and promote sustainable development.

ImpactofSocialComparisononResidents′WillingnesstoSavePower:FromPerspectiveofReferenceGroups′Guilt

LIUManzhi,SHIMengqian,LIULiyuan,ZHANGShiru

Abstract: Advocating energy conservation and emission reduction in the field of life is an important measure for building a resource-saving and environment-friendly society. From the perspective of personal guilt, this paper reveals the mediating and regulating mechanism how social comparison influences residents′ willingness to save electricity. A mixed experiment design of 2 (group: inner group vs. outer group) × 2 (responsibility attribution: internal cause vs. external cause) was used as a sample to investigate the influence of social comparison reference objects on residents′ willingness to save electricity. Studies show that: The degree of guilt aroused when residents use more electricity than the outside group is significantly higher than that of the social comparison reference group as the inside group. Guilt has a significant positive impact on the willingness to save electricity. Group relations have a moderating effect on the relationship between the reference group and the degree of guilt. Responsibility attribution and group relations regulate the relationship between social comparison and guilt. The conclusions of this research can provide strategic suggestions for guiding residents′ energy-saving behavior.

GONGSiyu,SHENGGuanghua,WANGLitong

Abstract: Based on Chinese cultural background of the orientation of interdependence and collectivism, this study constructs a moderated mediation model by introducing environmental attitude and family cohesion to investigate the influencing mechanism of intergenerational transfer on green consumption behavior. Empirical results show that intergenerational transfer significantly affects green consumption intention, that is, parents′ teaching by precept, example and ecological knowledge have a positive impact on children′s green consumption intention; environmental attitude plays a mediating role in the relationship between intergenerational transfer and green consumption intention. Family cohesion plays a positive moderating role in the relationship among intergenerational transfer, environmental attitude and green consumption intention. The conclusions of the study provide a theoretical reference for promoting the green transformation of household consumption concept and accelerating the process of ecological civilization construction in China.
