The fact the people of District 12 don't clap for Katniss symbolizes a final gesture of rebellion and respect. At least in this small way, the people of the Seam can rebel against the Capitol, can refuse to give in to the Capitol's control. It's a act of rebellion against the Capitol yes, but also a example of respect to Katniss. They won't let the Capitol mock her with its cruel interpretation of this [The Hunger Games] as simply a game, something to celebrate, to enjoy.

It is a rare thing to see a volunteer tribute in District 12 so all the citizens were very surprised. They also admired Katniss and were shocked that she did it. They didnt clap as a sort of symbol. In the book Suzanne Collins describes it as a final goodbye and showing of respect and pride toward Katniss from her people.

Hope that clears it up! :)

Because she is volunteering for her sister which is great but she is giving her life basically to do it. They may also have been in to much shock.
