摘要: 长期以来, 农村环境类基础设施供给总量的不足严重阻碍了农村生态环境质量的提升。为探究农户合作供给环境类基础设施的影响因素, 以分散式污水处理设施为例, 基于社会资本理论, 引入农户心理因素变量, 构建农户合作供给意愿的理论模型。运用结构方程模型对陕西省关中地区570户农户的调查问卷进行实证分析, 通过多群组分析检验农户家庭年收入的模型路径差异。结果表明: (1)农户的社会资本对合作供给意愿有显著正向影响, 并可通过政治效能感的中介作用间接影响合作供给意愿。(2)农户认知对合作供给意愿有显著正向影响, 并可通过价值感知的中介作用间接影响合作供给意愿。(3)模型在农户家庭年收入分组中展现出较强的差异性, 高收入农户认知对价值感知以及价值感知对合作供给意愿的影响更强。因此, 在加强环保理念宣传的同时, 要重视乡村社会资本的培育和农户政治效能感的提升, 以提高环境类基础设施的供给水平。Abstract: Over an extended period, insufficient overall supply of environmental infrastructure has significantly impeded the enhancement of rural ecological environment quality. To investigate the factors influencing farmers' cooperative supply of environmental infrastructure, this paper took decentralized sewage treatment facility as an example, and based on social capital theory, incorporates psychological variables to construct a theoretical model of cooperative willingness. The structural equation model was employed to conduct an empirical analysis of questionnaires collected from 570 farmers in the Guanzhong region of Shaanxi Province, and multi-group analysis was used to examine path differences among farmers with varying annual household incomes. The findings reveal that: (1) Farmers' social capital exerts a significant positive influence on their cooperative supply willingness, and can affect it indirectly through the mediating role of political efficacy. (2) Farmers' cognition significantly and positively influences their willingness to cooperate, and this effect is mediated by value perception. (3) The model shows strong differences across annual household income groups of farmers. Specifically, among high-income farmers, cognition has a stronger effect on value perception, which in turn more strongly influences cooperative willingness. Therefore, in addition to promoting environmental protection concepts, greater emphasis should be placed on fostering rural social capital and enhancing farmers' political efficacy to improve the supply level of environmental infrastructure.
