Online sales are an important part of agricultural product sales channels under the background of rural revitalization in the new era. Online sales play an active role in invigorating the agricultural product market, solving the problem of connecting small production with big market and promoting farmers' income, agricultural efficiency and rural welfare. Based on the field survey data of 511 fruit farmers in Jiangxi Province, this paper empirically analyzes the influence of government support and network adaptability on online sales behavior of fruit farmers by using binary Logistic model. The results show that the government's implementation of operating subsidies, preferential taxes and fees and technical training are helpful for fruit farmers to adopt online sales; Network adaptability can significantly positively affect online sales of fruit farmers, and at the same time, there is a positive adjustment between government support and online sales behavior of fruit farmers; By implementing various support measures, the government helps to improve the adaptability of fruit farmers' network, and further has a significant positive impact on fruit farmers' adoption of online sales behavior. The results provide theoretical basis for the relationship among government support, network adaptability and online sales of fruit farmers, and provide practical enlightenment for the government and fruit farmers.

Engineers have a vital role in addressing environmental degradation in construction projects. Therefore, engineers’ positive attitude towards the environment is important to ensure that construction projects are carried out responsibly. The objective of this paper is to investigate the factors that influence engineers’ attitude towards green practice. Six factors; Knowledge, Self-initiative, Firm Support, Government Support, Board of Engineers Support and Client Attributes were assumed to influence the engineers’ attitude towards green practice. A self-administered survey with 37 items was distributed to engineering firms in Peninsular Malaysia and 128 usable responses were received. The results show a moderate relationship with 32 percent of the variances in the relationship between the six factors and engineers’ attitude. The results reveal that self-initiative and government support have a significant and positive impact on the engineers’ attitude towards green practice with the higher effect coming from the support from the government (f2 = 0.210) as compared to self-initiative (f2 = 0.058). In contrast, the results provide insufficient evidence about the relationship between Knowledge, Firm Support, Board of engineers Support and Client Attributes and engineers’ attitude towards green practice. The results serve as a guide to the policy makers and engineers to ensure responsible attitude can be adopted towards the environment.

Nowadays the development of tourism in an area will bring a positive impact on the local society. However, if the community is not ready to accept development and is not ready to manage its property, it will have a negative impact. Various problems will arise with the existence of mass tourism which makes it difficult or even detrimental to the community. Therefore, this study will discuss the evaluation of the impact tourism development in Tebing Breksi using the concept of community-based tourism (CBT). CBT is a development strategy that uses tourism as a tool to strengthen local communities that are managed by, from, and for the community, as well as considering aspects of sustainability to improve people’s welfare. The research method used is qualitative using a case study approach. The data used is sourced from primary data and secondary data. Primary data obtained by interviewing speakers who are considered competent in their fields and following the research topic. Secondary data were obtained from previous studies, documentation, a note, and an activity report related to Tebing Breksi. Evaluation of CBT principles at Tebing Breksi is seen based on five aspects, that is (i) Economic principles (ii) Social principles (iii) Cultural principles (iv) Environmental principles (v) Political principles, along with indicators. The result of the analysis shows that the principles of CBT applied at Tebing Breksi as a whole have shown success even though some of the indicators of the CBT principle need to be optimized again, while the positive impact obtained by the community with the presence of this CBT is increased economic income, improved quality of life, concern for waste management and mutual respect between cultures. Also, the success of CBT cannot be separated from the active role of community and government support.

Under the background of the structural reform on the agricultural supply side and the tightening of environmental protection policies, China’s agricultural industry is facing prominent problems such as low scale, poor mechanization level and serious ecological environment pollution, especially the scattered breeding behavior of small farmers in waterfowl breeding industry and in tobacco growing industry, which has a serious impact on the surrounding ecological environment. In this paper, based on the survey data of 184 waterfowl farmers and tobacco farmers in Jiangxi province and from the perspective of small farmers of waterfowl breeding and tobacco growing, the factors influencing small farmers’ behavior of improving their individual breeding environment and carrying out green ecological behavior are analyzed by using binary logistic regression model. It is concluded that the gender and age of farmers have a negative impact, while farmers’ education level, farmers’ concurrent employment, breeding technology training and government support have a significant positive impact on small farmers’ behavior of improving their individual breeding and planting environment. Finally, some suggestions are put forward, such as optimizing the production layout of waterfowl industry, improve green tobacco cultivation, constructing green ecological development system of waterfowl industry, popularizing green ecological breeding mode and strengthening policy support and supervision, with a view to improve the present situation of poor breeding environment and serious pollution of small farmers in China, promote the development and transformation of waterfowl industry and tobacco industry in China, and promote the sustainable development of ecological environment and ecological economy of waterfowl industry and tobacco industry in China.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the adoption of e-banking in Colombia, including a comprehensive analysis of consumer trust in this type of transaction and of the impact of the current government policy to promote e-commerce. Design/methodology/approach An empirical investigation based on the UTAUT2 model collected data from throughout the country to develop 600 online questionnaires. Findings The proposed model was validated in that the factors hypothesised to build trust in the use of electronic banking were shown to be significant: trust, performance expectancy and effort expectancy had a positive impact on the use of financial websites in Colombia, while government support did not have a significant impact. Research limitations/implications The study explains the antecedents to trust, as well as the government support variable, and concludes by producing a model that is highly successful in predicting financial customers’ online behaviour. Practical implications The results can help Colombia’s Government and private banks to further develop trust and other conditions necessary for e-banking. Social implications Studies on the adoption of electronic banking provide users of these services solutions for their needs. Government policies to support the development of e-banking are not viewed favourably by Colombians. Originality/value This study is one of the first to present empirical findings on the acceptance of e-banking in Latin America; it further presents a model that integrates the most important variables needed for an analysis of the acceptance of e-banking.

AbstractDoes party government moderate the responsiveness of public policy to public opinion? Analysing a new dataset, we examine whether the ability of governments to respond to the public on 306 specific policy issues in Denmark, Germany and the UK is affected by the extent of coalition conflict and by the fit of the considered policy changes with the government preferences. We find a systematic but relatively weak positive impact of public support on the likelihood and speed of policy change. Contrary to expectations, a higher number of coalition partners are not associated with fewer policy changes nor with weaker responsiveness to public opinion. We also find no evidence that responsiveness to public opinion is necessarily weaker for policy changes that go against the preferences of the government. Rather, it appears that public and government support for policy change are substitute resources.

SMEs, are a core point in our country, and are the innovative and creative part that few companies can achieve this result, in Ciudad Juarez specifically and according to the present research we find small and medium companies such as designers of robots, designers of dresses, bakeries, designers of pipelines, distributors of snacks, food, furniture designers, designs of parts of machinery, companies with great added value of which its existence is unknown. According to statistics from the Business Directory of the National Institute of Geography and Information Technology (INEGI), more than 85.7% of SMEs do not have the knowledge of the support offered by the government, and 14.3% of companies have knowledge of promotion programs and state government support the highest percentage knows the Entrepreneur Support Network, reaching 61.1%, followed by the Let's Grow Together program with 42.6%, as well as other INADEM programs with 39.4 percent. This creates a problem since these types of companies require the support of the public sector and in the same way the public sector needs to prove the destiny of these designated supports. Then we ask ourselves the research question: if there are innovative SMEs and there are resources in the public sector, then what are the causes of non-linking? This theme is the central point of the present investigation.
