This research explores the relationship between farmers' knowledge, institutional trust, and compliance with irrigation restrictions.
Data collected from 187 farmers across 49 irrigation districts in the Bengawan Solo Basin, Indonesia.
Used partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) to analyze interactions between variables.
Examined effects of knowledge, trust, and social capital on compliance with cropping and water quota regulations.
Knowledge of cropping rules negatively impacts compliance (β = 0.23, p < 0.01).
Greater trust in farmer associations significantly enhances compliance (β = 0.82, p < 0.001).
The model explains 74% of cropping compliance and 36% of quota compliance.
