Abstract

The riverside communities devised a community-based program to negotiate with the local government as not to be evicted. As an intervention package, -which aims to upgrade the living environment and increase the residents’ pro-environmental behaviour-, this program consists of organization, information, combines with social interaction, commitment and feedback performance. Intensive observations are 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.
