Abstract:
Based on the survey data on the residents' attitudes towards protection of urban ecosystem in Daqing City, Heilongjiang, we used the Logistic model to empirically analyze such attitudes and influencing factors in five urban areas and four surrounding counties in Daqing City. The results show that the proportion of residents holding "necessary" attitudes towards urban ecosystem protection in Daqing City reached 86.7%. Education, preference for urban ecosystems, familiarity, and convenience for enjoying urban ecosystem services are four significant factors affecting residents' attitudes towards protection. Respondents in different regions have different major considerations in their attitudes towards urban ecosystem protection. For instance, the convenience of residents living in the cities and counties surrounding Daqing to enjoy Daqing's urban ecosystem services is the most significant factor, while for dwellers in Daqing's urban areas,their attitude is most affected by the degree of preference for the urban ecosystem of Daqing City.
