Résumé

This study examines the barriers that prevent citizens from moving from online support to actual participation in environmental campaigns. It focuses on the gap between digital engagement and concrete action and aims to identify the main perceived barriers, while distinguishing between internal and external factors. An exploratory descriptive approach was adopted based on an online questionnaire related to the Algerian environmental campaign «Khadra bi Idni Allah». The analysis focused on one open-ended question answered by 342 respondents. The responses were examined through thematic analysis and then quantified according to the identified categories. The findings show that external barriers clearly predominate, particularly lack of time and work or family constraints (29.8%), lack of information about participation procedures (17.2%), and access difficulties (13.1%). Internal barriers such as inertia and lack of interest were less frequently reported. These findings suggest that practical conditions play a major role in limiting the transition from online support to actual participation.
