Abstract

The purpose of this research is to determine the environmental identity of students who are studying undergraduate tourism. Within the scope of the research, it is also aimed to detect the differences in the department (tourism management, gastronomy and culinary arts and tourism guidance department), gender and class. In order to determine the internal consistency of the items in the environmental identity scale, reliability analysis was performed. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that the reliability value of the environmental identity scale was 88,2% (α=0,882). As a result of the applied Kruskal-Wallis test, a significant difference was found between the environmental identity of the students and the department they read (p=0,044<0,05) and their classes (p=0,000<0,05). As a result of the Mann-Whitney U Test conducted to determine whether there are statistically significant differences between the genders and the environmental identities of the students, a significant difference (p=0,000<0,05) was detected between the genders and the environmental identities of the students. According to the test result, it is possible to comment that female students have a stronger environmental identity than male students. In addition, in the results of the descriptive analysis of the environmental identity scale, the mean of the environmental identity scale was X̄ =5,394, ss= 0,824. These results show that tourism students have a strong environmental identity.

Özet

Yapılan bu araştırmanın amacı, lisans düzeyinde turizm eğitimi alan öğrencilerin çevre kimliklerini belirlemektir. Araştırma kapsamında ayrıca, okunulan bölüm (turizm işletmeciliği, gastronomi ve mutfak sanatları ve turizm rehberliği bölümü), cinsiyet ve sınıfa göre de farklılıkları tespit etmek amaçlanmıştır. Çevre kimliği ölçeğindeki maddelerin iç tutarlılığının belirlenebilmesi için güvenilirlik analizi yapılmıştır. Yapılan analiz sonucunda çevre kimliği ölçeğinin güvenilirlik değerinin %88,2 (α=0,882) olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Uygulanan Kruskal-Wallis testi sonucunda öğrencilerinin çevre kimlikleri ile okudukları bölüm (p=0,044<0,05) ve sınıfları (p=0,000<0,05) arasında anlamlı bir farklılık tespit edilmiştir. Öğrencilerin cinsiyetleri ile çevre kimlikleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılıklar olup olmadığını tespit etmek amacıyla yapılan Mann-Whitney U Testi sonucunda öğrencilerin cinsiyetleri ile çevre kimlikleri arasında anlamlı bir farklılık (p=0,000<0,05) tespit edilmiştir. Test sonucuna göre, kadın öğrencilerin erkek öğrencilere göre daha güçlü bir çevre kimliğine sahip olduğu yorumunu yapmak mümkündür. Ayrıca çevre kimliği ölçeğinin betimsel analizine ilişkin sonuçlarında çevre kimliği ölçeğinin ortalaması X̄=5,394, ss=0,824 bulunmuştur. Bu sonuçlar, turizm öğrencilerinin güçlü bir çevre kimliğine sahip olduğunu göstermektedir.
