Drivers of planned compliance with irrigation restrictions among residents in a rapidly urbanizing region
Irrigation restrictions have emerged as a promising approach to curbing residential water use, but insufficient compliance limits the impact of these policies. Using an extended Theory of Planned Behavior framework, this research gathered data from 2,651 Florida residents to illuminate intended compliance. Those subject to and aware of these restrictions demonstrated positive perceptions. In the initial model, subjective norms and attitudes were important predictors of intent to comply with these policies. Subsequent models revealed positive expected outcomes as the most important predictor, followed by past compliance. Moderation effects revealed further nuances, including subjective norms and positive expected outcomes having a greater influence on those who have not complied in the past. Perceived ability to comply related positively to compliance intent among people who regularly comply but had virtually no effect on those who do not. Findings imply valuable opportunities to tailor interventions targeting subpopulations based on past and current compliance.
