通过监管来控制家庭能源消费是困难的。从政策角度来看，确定影响人们行动的因素尤其具有挑战性。此外，无论这些因素是什么，它们都不可能均匀地分布在亚洲地区的多个城市。在本文中，我们进行了节能行为的调查，以澄清这些因素之间的差异在亚洲五个主要城市。大连、重庆、福冈、曼谷、胡志明的调查结果表明，全球变暖意识、环境行为和社会互动对节能行为有显著影响。收入和年龄对节能行为也有微弱的正向影响。社会互动与节能行为密切相关，特别是在大连和重庆的农村地区。这一结果表明，以社区为基础的活动影响节能行为。(C)2012爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
It is difficult to control household energy consumption through regulation. From a policy standpoint, it is particularly challenging to identify the factors that influence people's actions. Moreover, whatever these factors are, they are unlikely to uniformly span multiple cities in the Asian region. In this paper, we conduct a survey of energy-saving behavior to clarify the differences among such factors across five major Asian cities. The results from these surveys in Dalian, Chongqing, Fukuoka, Bangkok, and Ho Chi Minh indicate that global warming consciousness, environmental behavior, and social interaction significantly affect energy-saving behavior. Income and age also had weak positive effects on energy-saving behaviors. Social interaction was strongly linked to energy-saving behaviors, particularly in the rural areas of Dalian and Chongqing. This result indicates that community-based activities impact energy-saving behaviors. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
