摘要
Voluntary participation in programmes for environmental protection is an increasingly important tool for accomplishing environmental policy objectives. Based on data obtained from a questionnaire to a random sample of farmers, an empirical analysis is carried out of motives for their willingness (or reluctance) to participate in a catchment-based programme for wetland creation in an agricultural district in Southern Sweden. It is concluded that besides private profitability, various public and private environmental benefits are of importance for farmers' willingness to participate. Implications for communication and implementation strategies of programmes based on voluntary participation are discussed. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
