Research Abstract |
This study discussed the structure of regional factors that affect citizens' behavior and consciousness for low carbon regional environmental management. This study results consist of three sections. 1) Analysis of social factors that affect low carbon behavior and consciousness, 2) Analysis of geographical factors that affect low carbon behavior and consciousness and 3) Recommendations how to use regional factors for regional climate change policy. The unique social factors for each region are social capital (SC) or satisfaction of traffic convenience. The unique geographical factors for each region are local traffic characteristics or industrial structure. The mechanism of regional factors that affect low carbon behavior and consciousness was recognized. Finally, the several recommendations to promote low carbon behavior by using regional factors were shown.
