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