This study examines what explains local governments’ involvement in collaborative commitments for environmentally sustainable communities. The study’s primary contribution is to systematically investigate the variation of local governments’ involvement in collaborative commitments. Findings suggest informational transparency as well as homogeneous political party preference, incentive offers, and the federal government’s support of institutional conditions are critical in encouraging local governments to participate in various sustainability commitments. The results imply that incentive provisions including grants, transparent information provision mechanisms, and political support are significant to facilitate involvement in commitments for sustainable environment. Involvement in a variety of commitments is a fundamental condition because individual local governments alone cannot realize a sustainable environment. This study suggests that local governments or decision makers need to manage these significant factors carefully in order to efficiently facilitate involvement in collaborative commitments for a sustainable environment. This results can provide significant policy implications to environmental policy of Korea.
Abstract
This study examines what explains local governments’ involvement in collaborative commitments for environmentally sustainable communities.

The results imply that incentive provisions including grants, transparent information provision mechanisms, and political support are significant to facilitate involvement in commitments for sustainable environment. Involvement in a variety of commitments is a fundamental condition because individual local governments alone cannot realize a sustainable environment. This study suggests that local governments or decision makers need to manage these significant factors carefully in order to efficiently facilitate involvement in collaborative commitments for a sustainable environment.
