Renewable energy (RE) sources are often locally available and have the potential to lessen the rural dependence on the national power grid, reducing disruptions in power supplies and the heavy dependence on coal combustion. Poland faces an EU mandate of a 15% share of renewables in energy generation by 2020. However, the installations intended to supply several types of RE encountered local opposition, forcing a cancellation of the planned investments and stressing a need for understanding rural residents’ attitudes towards RE in general. Using survey data, this paper examines the perception of RE importance among rural residents in eastern Poland. The specified empirical relationship includes the sociodemographic and economic characteristics of residents. Perceptions of the links between health and specific sources of environmental pollution and actions demonstrating energy-saving behavior serve as explanatory variables. The performance of the estimated logit equation was rigorously tested. The probability of attaching importance to RE by rural residents increases most if a respondent displayed an energy-saving behavior, has certain demographic characteristics, and links health to environmental pollution caused by coal combustion. The graphic depiction of the effects of selected variables succinctly communicates possible future programs aimed at strengthening the rural population support of RE.

With the increasing public’s energy consumption, the resident’s energy-saving behavior has been paid more attention by all walks of life. Therefore, it is important to find out what factors influence the public's energy-saving behavior. The paper constructs a conceptual model of Chinese rural residents' energy-saving behavior of habit adjustment based on behavioral reasoning theory. It examines the energy-saving behavior of habit adjustment of rural residents on the basis of investigation data from rural residents in China. We reach the following conclusions: environment values not only significantly influence global motives (including attitudes about saving energy, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control) but also via the reasons for behavior have indirectly influences to it, thereby influencing rural residents' energy-saving intentions. The reasons for behavior have an indirect impact on rural residents' energy-saving intentions via the global motives. The reasons for behavior also directly influence the rural residents' energy-saving intentions. The attitudes about saving energy, the subjective norms and the perceived behavioral control have indirectly positive impacts on rural residents' energy-saving behavior of habit adjustment via the energy-saving intentions. The Poyang Lake Ecological Zone has an important ecological protection function in China. Promoting rural residents in there to save energy can effectively protect the environment.

Abstract. Pondok Pesantren Putri Jagad 'Alimussirry is one of the Islamic boarding schools in the city of Surabaya. The majority of those living in this pesantren are students and students who are actively studying.
