Classification and dynamic evolution of public's environmental risk coping actions in China

Existing studies on public attitudes and actions towards sites elections of projects with existing environmental risk usually make simple binary partition and mostly focus on public confrontational actions. Whereas, no attention has been paid to the complexity and dynamic convertibility of public's risk coping actions. This paper constructs an integrated framework for environmental risk coping actions referring to risk social amplification theory and risk protective theory. Through the comparative analysis with three typical projects of nuclear facilities in China, it has been found that there are four different types of risk coping action based on dual dimensions of risk perception and risk communication, namely, acquiescence–support and acquiescence–adaption, belonging to low‐grade risk coping actions, and two high‐grade risk coping actions, prevention–mobilization and prevention–protest. Under specific conditions, the dynamic conversions from low grade to high grade among the four action choice models also existed. Findings of this paper try to provide a theoretical interpretation for getting a better understanding of the public action choices in relation to environment risk. In the meanwhile, policy enlightenment to risk governance for government has also been discussed.

广州五四运动特征及原因探讨

广州五四运动是全国五四运动的重要组成部分,具有明显的地域特征:首先是参加群体广泛,活动组织化、纪律化;其次是政民关系由合作向对抗嬗变;再次是斗争措施具体明确且各有侧重;四是"外联内动"是运动深入拓展的保障;最后是响应时间早、持续时间长。形成上述特征的根源是,革命传统浓烈,城市地域政治化程度高是群众来源广泛及活动呈现规律特征的重要原因;军政府弹压运动是政民关系嬗变的根源;经济务实态度是斗争措施明确具体且各有侧重的缘由;缺乏新文化运动的洗礼,造成"外联内动"成为运动发展的动力;烈士故乡、同乡情谊、爱国热情等因素助力运动的深入发展。探究五四运动在地方开展时的特征及其原因,可见异于全国五四运动"森林"与"树木"的独特所在,且能还原历史本相;简析"历史土壤"与运动特征间的关系,有助于理解"土壤决定特征"和"特征反映土壤"双重关系的内在脉理。
