This research investigates how users of Bilibili, a video sharing website based in China have responded to carbon neutrality. By conducting quantitative textual analyses on 3,311 comments on Bilibili using LDA topic extraction and content statistics, this research discovers that: (1) Bilibili users have assigned more weight to geopolitical topics (56.3%) than energy (22.0%) and environmental topics (21.7%). (2) When assessing carbon neutrality, Bilibili users considered geopolitical (53.8%) and energy factors (15.8%) more heavily than factors related to the class (9.2%), economy (8.9%), environment (8.7%), and definition (3.6%). (3) More Bilibili users had negative (64.6%) attitudes towards carbon neutrality, with only a small portion of them expressing positive (26.8%) and neutral (8.6%) attitudes. (4) Negative attitudes towards carbon neutrality were mainly driven by geopolitical concerns about the West's approach to China, other countries' free-riding on China's efforts and the West's manipulation of rules, doubts about the feasibility of energy transition and suspicion of capitalists exploiting consumers through this concept. This research highlights the geopolitical concerns behind the environmental attitudes of Chinese people, deepening our understanding to psychological constructs and crisis sensitivity of Chinese people towards environmental issues.

천연기념물은 역사와 자연적 가치가 있는 자연유산으로 희귀성, 특수성, 역사성 등 학술 가치가 커 자연문화재로 지정 및 보호됐으나 최근에는 삶의 질 향상에 따른 국민의 문화생활에 대한 욕구를 충족시키는 것도 천연기념물 관리의 주요한 임무가 되었다. 이를 위해 내장산국립공원에 소재하고 있는 천연기념물 제91호 내장산 굴거리나무군락과 제153호 장성 백양사 비자나무 숲을 대상으로 천연기념물의 지속 가능한 보전 및 이용 측면에서 방문객의 천연기념물에 대한 기본적 인식을 살펴보고 천연기념물 인식수준에 따른 자연에 대한 태도 차이를 분석하였다. 내장산국립공원 방문객 240명에 대한 설문조사 분석 결과, 응답자의 절반 이상이 대상지의 천연기념물을 정확히 인식하지 못하는 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 굴거리나무군락의 인지도가 상대적으로 비자나무 숲보다 더 낮았다. 또한, 천연기념물에 대한 인식수준이 높고, 문화재적 가치 수준이 높다고 인식한 집단의 자연에 대한 태도가 그렇지 않은 집단보다 긍정적임을 확인할 수 있었다. 이를 바탕으로 향후 이 지역의 천연기념물 활용방안 수립을 위한 정책시사점을 제안하였다.
