Abstract: Chinese citizens are participating more and more actively in the governance of environment with the economic growth and the promotion of environmental awareness, which has led to the emergence of a pluralistic mechanism of environmental governance. Based on the provincial data, this paper constructes a space-Durbin model to examines the effects of 8 kinds of public participation on the intensity of environmental regulation. It is discovered that the frequency of people's complaint visit in a particular province has a positive effect on the intensity of environmental regulation in this province and the nation as a whole. NGO activities and proposals of the CPPCC may depress the provincial intensity of environmental regulation. The other 5 kinds of public participation have not showed significant impact. Therefore we propose to standardize the feedback mechanism of public expression, enhance the capacity of people's assembly and the CPPCC and promote the scientific development of NGOs, so as to establish a diverse governance mechanism containing multiple subjects.

摘要： 本文构建空间杜宾模型,基于省际面板数据考察8种公众参与方式对环境规制强度的影响。研究结果发现,群众来访密度对提升本省区的环境规制强度具有显著的正向影响,而非政府组织参与密度和政协提案密度则可能与本省区的环境规制强度存在某种替代效应,其他5种公众参与方式对环境规制强度的影响并不明显。据此,本文建议应破除公众参与环境问题的体制机制障碍,健全反馈机制;增强人大、政协等机构的履职能力;引导非政府组织科学发展,形成多元一体的环境治理机制。
