Abstract

Effective disposal of rural domestic waste is the foundation and key to improving village appearance and living environment. In this paper, firstly the theoretical function model of regulation implementation and living environment improvement is constructed based on the theory of system performance enforcement and the implementation process model from the four dimensions of explanation propaganda, organizational work, daily application and reward and penalty, to explore the internal logic and path of action. Then, hierarchical regression is conducted to verify the theoretical hypotheses based on sample data of 229 residents obtained after in-depth investigation of 21 villages in Jinhua City. Finally, the study found that (1) Explanation, publicity, organizational work and daily application in the implementation of the laws and regulations on classification of domestic waste have a promoting effect on the the improvement of rural living environment, that is, improving rural living environment requires the cooperation of all parties concerned. (2) There is no significant impact on the improvement of rural living environment by the penalty and reward system of domestic waste classification regulations in Jinhua City. (3) The code of conduct plays a mediating role in the relationship between explanation propaganda, organizational work, daily application and living environment in the implementation of laws and regulations, completely mediates the relationship between organizational work and living environment, and partially mediates between explanation propaganda, daily application and living environment.
