Abstract

This study aims to elucidate the multifaceted factors influencing pro-environmental sentiments in contrast to pro-economic attitudes in Turkey. Utilizing the data set from the seventh wave of the World Values Survey (2017-2022), logistic regression results reveal that the negative age-pro-environment nexus undergoes a reversal after the inflection point. Pro-environmental attitudes are intricately linked with indicators of prosperity, including income and urbanization, as well as socio-cultural factors such as religion and nationalism. While education emerges as a significant determinant in high-income and institutionally developed countries, its statistical insignificance in Turkey highlights unique socio-cultural dynamics and insufficiency of the education system. These findings offer valuable insights into environmental consciousness, identifying the most effective values that policy interventions should prioritize for sustainable development.

Özet

Bu çalışma, Türkiye'de ekonomi yanlısı tutumlara karşılık çevre yanlısı hassasiyeti etkileyen çok yönlü faktörleri aydınlatmayı amaçlamaktadır. Dünya Değerler Araştırması'nın yedinci dalgasından (2017-2022) elde edilen veri seti kullanılmıştır. Lojistik regresyon sonuçları, negatif yaş-çevre ilişkisinin dönüm noktasından sonra tersine döndüğünü ortaya koymaktadır. Çevre yanlısı tutumlar, gelir ve kentleşme gibi refah göstergelerinin yanı sıra din ve milliyetçilik gibi sosyo-kültürel faktörlerle de karmaşık bir şekilde bağlantılıdır. Eğitim, yüksek gelirli ve kurumsal olarak gelişmiş ülkelerde önemli bir belirleyici olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Türkiye'de istatistiksel olarak önemsiz olması, Türkiye'deki benzersiz sosyo-kültürel dinamiklerin varlığını ve eğitim sisteminin yetersizliğini vurgulamaktadır. Bu bulgular, sürdürülebilir kalkınma için politika müdahalelerinin öncelik vermesi gereken en etkili değerleri tanımlayarak çevre bilincine ilişkin değerli bilgiler sunmaktadır.
