Fig. 4: The role of trust in the district government as a moderating factor.
From: Impact of air pollution perception on environmental governance satisfaction
This figure illustrates how trust in district governments influences the relationship between air pollution perception and environmental governance satisfaction. The results indicate that lower trust in district governments exacerbates dissatisfaction during periods of severe air pollution, as evidenced by the steeper decline in satisfaction levels among individuals with low district government trust. This supports hypothesis H4b by underscoring the critical role that trust in local governance plays in shaping public satisfaction under adverse environmental conditions.
