Households’ capital endowment, perceived value and their willingness to accept compensation for straw collection: Based on micro survey data in Huanggang City, Hubei Province
In order to investigate the influence mechanism and effects of capital endowment and perceived value on households’ willingness to accept compensation for straw collection, based on Bourdieu’s social practice theory, a theoretical analysis framework was constructed in this study. Based on the survey data of 684 households in key straw comprehensive utilization counties in Huanggang City, Hubei Province, the relationship between capital endowment, perceived value and households’ willingness to accept compensation for straw collection empirically analyzed by using the binary Logit and Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) measurement methods. The results show that: 1) The households who are willing to participate in the eco-compensation account for 90.35% of all the samples, and the average minimum compensation standard is 791.45 yuan/hm2. 2) Capital endowment has a significant and positive impact on the willingness to participate in compensation and has a significant and negative impact on the amount of compensation. 3) Perceived value has a significant and positive impact on the willingness to participate in compensation and the amount of compensation. 4) Perceived value produces a mediation effect on the impact of capital endowment on the willingness to participate in compensation, the mediation effect is 0.289. However, perceived value produces a suppressing effect on the impact of capital endowment on the amount of compensation, the suppressing effect is 0.225. In order to encourage households to collect straw, it is necessary to develop eco-compensation for straw collection and promote it in layers and stages, enhance the capital endowment of households in multiple channels and improve households’ perceived value.
