Urbanization has resulted in more impervious surfaces, and most municipalities' stormwater infrastructure is not prepared to deal with flooding events that can be associated with the increased stormwater runoff. Cities have been looking for cost-effective, environmentally sustainable, and socially responsible solutions to deal with issues related to stormwater management. Based on this context, an increasing number of states and municipalities have been adopting green infrastructure as a supplement to the traditional stormwater management systems. When used for stormwater management, the term "green infrastructure" can be defined as strategies that infiltrate, evapotranspirate, capture and reuse stormwater on site. In order to accomplish stormwater management goals, municipalities need to both install green infrastructure on publicly owned land and also persuade residents to install green infrastructure on their private property. Previous research has investigated the factors that affect residents' willingness to install their own green infrastructure. However, very little research has investigated the barriers to that implementation in a combined manner, and social barriers mostly have been ignored. Overall, the purpose of this study is to develop a comprehensive understanding of the factors that affect residents' willingness to implement green infrastructure strategies by investigating socio-cognitive factors and other influencing factors (such as installation cost, maintenance cost, required time to maintain, health concerns, and visual appearance) in a combined manner. For this purpose, an online questionnaire was created. This questionnaire was developed based on the theory of planned behavior (Ajzen, 1991). Regression models were used to test the hypothesis, and three different regression models were created for each type of green infrastructure in the study (rain barrel, rain garden, and porous pavement). The results indicated that self-efficacy, subjective norm, visual appearance, time required for maintenance, and general knowledge were significant predictors of a person's willingness to install green infrastructure. On the other hand, attitudes and cost, which were found to be important barriers in the literature, were not significant predictors in the current study. These findings indicate that municipalities might more effectively promote the adoption of green infrastructure on private land by providing training and by funding exemplar projects in residential neighborhoods.
