Abstract

The aim of present study was two-fold: (1) to determine university students’ familiarity and understandings of ‘sustainable development’, (2) to examine their attitudes toward sustainable development, environmental values, and their behaviors toward sustainable life styles. The data collected by on-line administration of a questionnaire to 958 university students during February-June of 2008 were analyzed by using descriptive statistics. The results reflected that majority of the participants declared themselves familiar with the term of sustainable development, but they could not develop a sound understanding as a holistic concept. It was also found that university students had favorable attitudes toward sustainable development and intrinsic values toward the environment. However, these participants did not readily take some radical actions in order to create a more sustainable future.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı iki basamaktan oluşmaktadır: (1) üniversite öğrencilerinin sürdürülebilir kalkınma üzerine anlayışlarını belirlemek; (2) sürdürülebilir kalkınmaya yönelik tutumlarını, çevresel değerlerini ve sürdürülebilir yaşam biçimlerini destekleyen davranışlarını incelemektir. Hazırlanan ölçüm aracının Şubat-Haziran 2008 döneminde toplam 958 üniversite öğrencisine uygulanmasıyla toplanan veriler betimsel istatistik kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Sonuçlar, katılımcıların çoğunun sürdürülebilir kalkınma terimine aşina olduklarını belirtmelerine rağmen sürdürülebilir kalkınmaya yönelik bütüncül bir kavram olarak güçlü bir anlayış geliştiremediklerini yansıtmaktadır. Sonuçlara göre, üniversite öğrencileri sürdürülebilir kalkınmaya yönelik olumlu tutumlara ve içsel değerlere sahiptir. Ancak, katılımcılar sürdürülebilir bir gelecek için gerekli radikal davranışları yerine getirmemektedirler.
