Changing Behavior and Environment in a Community-based Program of the Riverside Community

The riverside communities devised a community-based program to negotiate with the local government so that they are not evicted. As an intervention package, -which aims to upgrade the living environment and increase the residents’ pro-environmental behaviour-, this program consists of organization and information, combined with social interaction, commitment and feedback performance. Intensive observations were used to examine the effectiveness of the program to environmental behaviour change and upgrading settlement. The finding reveals that having common objective of renovation is the most influential variable in motivating individuals to increase environmentally friendly behaviour on the upgrading environment.
