A Casual Analysis of the Influence of Forest Environment Tax to Forest Volunteer Activities

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the difference of forest environment tax effects in the promotion of forest volunteer activities based on the social psychological perspective. A structural equation model is applied to analyze these differences to use the quetionnaire data about forest volunteer activities from 750 residents in three prefectures. The proposed model demonstrates the difference of forest environment tax effects in three prefectures to promote forest volunteer activities. The implications of the findings for promoting forest volunteer activities are discussed.
