Abstract

Pro-environmental consumption behavior, highly emphasized within the scope of sustainable development, has been operationalized with different types and levels in the extant national and international literature. The main objective of this research is to propose a multidimensional "pro-environmental consumption" scale covering behaviors that represent each stage of the consumption process, conceptualizing environmental behavior through a process approach. It was also aimed to explore Turkish consumers’ frequency of behaviors that appeared in different stages of the consumption process and contributed to the reduction of environmental problems, and also examine which behaviors were more closely related to environmental sensitivities. Consequently, data were collected from surveys of 707 participants in Istanbul, Kocaeli, Ankara. As the result of the research, a higher order factor pro-environmental consumption scale, covering two first-order factors (green consumption in pre-purchase stage and recycling behavior in post consumption stage) and one second order factor (energy conservation during consumption stage) has been validated. Moreover, the findings about Turkish consumers’ environmental behavior have been summarized.

Özet

Sürdürülebilir kalkınma kapsamında önemle üzerinde durulan çevreci tüketim davranışının ulusal ve uluslararası literatürde farklı şekillerde ve düzeylerde operasyonelleştirildiği görülmektedir. Bu araştırmanın temel amacı çevreci davranışı süreç yaklaşım ile kavramsallaştırarak, tüketim sürecinin her aşamasını temsil eden davranışlardan oluşan çok boyutlu “çevreci tüketim” ölçeğinin önerilmesidir. Araştırmada aynı zamanda tüketim sürecinin farklı aşamalarında ortaya çıkan ve çevre sorunlarının azaltılmasına katkı sağlayan davranışların Türk tüketicileri tarafından hangi sıklıkta sergilendiği, hangi davranışların çevreci hassasiyetlerle daha yakından ilişkili olduğunun araştırılması hedeflenmiştir. Bu doğrultuda, İstanbul, Kocaeli, Ankara’da toplam 707 katılımcıdan anket yöntemi ile veri toplanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, iki adet birinci düzey faktör (tüketim öncesinde çevreyi koruyan ürünlerin tercihi olan yeşil tüketim ve tüketim sonrasında geri dönüşüm) ve bir adet ikinci düzey faktörü (kullanım sırasındaki enerji tasarrufu) kapsayan üst düzey çevreci tüketim davranışı ölçeğinin uygun olduğu bulunmuştur. Ayrıca Türk tüketicilerinin çevreci davranışlarının doğasına ilişkin bulgular özetlenmiştir
