AbstractStudies have demonstrated that spatial deprivation (SD) exists in the process of ecological migration, but few studies have examined whether SD affects the settlement intention of eco‐migrants. Based on 648 valid questionnaires from 65 villages in China, this study investigates the effect of SD on the continued settlement intention (CSI)of eco‐migrants by developing a new theoretical model with integrating Expectation—Confirmation Model—Theory of planned behaviour (ECM–TPB) structural equation model. We find that the theoretical model has a high explanation with R2 = 75 per cent for CSI; the SD of villages are different from moving periods and landforms, and it has significant main effect on CSI and significant moderating effects on the relationship between settlement attitude, settlement satisfaction and CSI; settlement attitude has significant mediating effect on settlement usefulness to CSI. The study concludes that countries should reduce SD by optimizing the allocation of spatial resources to stabilize the settlement intention of eco‐migrants.
