Abstract

By examining selected websites of government agencies and environmental NGOs, this study has investigated current strategies and emphases of the government and environmental NGOs for using information to protect environment in China by using an analytical framework derived from the principles of information stewardship and information usefulness[5]. Based on data analysis results, government agencies' and NGOs' advantages and weaknesses in terms of producing, sharing, and disseminating information for environmental protection are derived and discussed. The findings of this study provide implications for environmental public managers to better exploit the government's advantages for environmental protection and to better collaborate with NGOs to fill up the government's deficiencies in environmental protection through producing, sharing, and disseminating information.
