Here is my load config
$this->config->load('user');
And I will view its item for view as below
$site_name = $this->config->item('email_validation');
But is don't show any thing

Answer 1

This is because your config array is two dimensional array. So, you can't access directly email_validation without getting user first. Moreover,
$this->config->load('user'); just means loading user.php from application/config/ directory. Doesn't mean loading user index from $config array. You can do it like that.
$userConfig = $this->config->item('user');
echo $userConfig["email_validation"];
Edit
Please make sure you config file is under application/config/ and loaded.
$this->config->load('user');
You can check which config is loaded by doing like this.
echo "<pre>";
print_r($this->config);
echo "</pre>";
Hope it will be useful for you.

Answer 2

if your php version>=5.4 you can use this
$site_name = $this->config->item('user')['email_validation']
