In recent years, sponge-style old community renewal (SOCR) has attracted considerable attention as an essential component of urban and sponge city construction in China. As a new method governance, the government increasingly valued residents’ participation SOCR. However, concept, SOCR not been studied from perspective management, there are few explorations research field. Thus, this study aimed to explore determinants behavior toward participating China based on extended theory planned (TPB), which will further promote engagement Data 1657 respondents were analyzed using structural equation model (SEM) verify direct or indirect relationship between potential variables. The results show that cognition (RPC), attitude (RPA), intention (RPI) all significantly affect (RPB). RPC can only have impact RPB by influencing RPA but also through RPI. This expands application boundary TPB enriches knowledge system Several practical implications for promoting obtained context projects.
