ABSTRACT

Though coastal environments are recognized as important community resources, the post-disaster reconstruction phase, an artificial-oriented strategy for human security and coastal development, may degrade coastal landscapes and avert pro-environmental behaviors. However, the impact of these outcomes has been studied to a limited extent only. This study aimed to explore residents’ pro-environmental behavior, green performance, and motivation for coastal green infrastructure (CGI) through the difference in high-low green self-efficacy (GSE). Survey data was used for a small rural community in Japan, where residents started the Camellia Forest Project as CGI after the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami (GEJET) under coastal artificial development. To examine the difference in high-low-GSE by participants’ characteristics, environmental behaviors, and awareness, odds ratios (ORs) were calculated. The results showed that residents’ characteristics – men, retirement age, second-generation household type, and mowing experience – were positively associated with high-GSE. People having high-GSE showed more effects on their coastal green management, Eco-DRR (OR: 6.04, 95% CI, 2.02–18.04), and social cohesion (OR: 6.27; 95% CI, 0.97–14.38) than those with low GSE in the post-disaster recovery process. This study suggests that GSE offers a base to nurture residents’ commitment to a coastal green environmental restoration under CGI development.

摘要

虽然沿海环境被认为是重要的社区资源，但灾后重建阶段是一种以人为导向的人类安全和沿海发展战略，可能会降低沿海景观并避免亲环境行为。然而，这些结果的影响仅在有限的范围内进行了研究。本研究旨在通过高低绿色自我效能（GSE）的差异来探索居民的亲环境行为、绿色绩效和沿海绿色基础设施（CGI）的动机。调查数据用于日本的一个小型农村社区，那里的居民在 2011 年东日本大地震和海啸 (GEJET) 后在沿海人工开发下启动了山茶花森林项目作为 CGI。为了通过参与者的特征检查高低 GSE 的差异，计算了环境行为和意识，优势比（OR）。结果表明，居民的特征——男性、退休年龄、第二代家庭类型和割草经验——与高 GSE 呈正相关。拥有高 GSE 的人对他们的沿海绿色管理、生态 DRR（OR：6.04，95% CI，2.02-18.04）和社会凝聚力（OR：6.27；95% CI，0.97-14.38）的影响大于那些灾后恢复过程中的低 GSE。这项研究表明，GSE 为培养居民对 CGI 开发下的沿海绿色环境恢复的承诺提供了基础。拥有高 GSE 的人对他们的沿海绿色管理、生态 DRR（OR：6.04，95% CI，2.02-18.04）和社会凝聚力（OR：6.27；95% CI，0.97-14.38）的影响大于那些灾后恢复过程中的低 GSE。这项研究表明，GSE 为培养居民对 CGI 开发下的沿海绿色环境恢复的承诺提供了基础。拥有高 GSE 的人对他们的沿海绿色管理、生态 DRR（OR：6.04，95% CI，2.02-18.04）和社会凝聚力（OR：6.27；95% CI，0.97-14.38）的影响大于那些灾后恢复过程中的低 GSE。这项研究表明，GSE 为培养居民对 CGI 开发下的沿海绿色环境恢复的承诺提供了基础。
