Abstract

This study focused on human-otter interactions in Slovenia. The aim of the study was to obtain data about secondary-school students’ knowledge of and attitudes toward the Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) and its conservation. The survey was carried out in fall 2008 and winter 2008–09 and included 273 teenagers. Their average age was 15.57 (SD = 1.01, Min = 13, Max = 19). The sample consisted of 92 (33.7%) males and 181 (66.3%) females. Participants were asked to complete a detailed self-administered questionnaire with 18 attitude questions and 8 factual-knowledge questions about Eurasian otter conservation. The results showed that teenagers’ attitudes toward the Eurasian otter are favourable and pro-conservation. Teenagers’ positive attitudes toward otter conservation were registered despite their poor knowledge. The study revealed that better factual knowledge correlates with positive attitudes. The data also indicated that females disagreed more strongly than males with attitude statements expressing opposition to otter conservation.

Özet

Bu çalışma Slovenya’daki insan-su samuru etkileşimleri üzerine odaklanmıştır. Çalışmanın amacı lise öğrencilerinin Avrasya su samuruna yönelik bilgi ve tutumları ile ilgili veriyi elde etmekti. Anket 273 öğrenci ile 2008-2009 yılında sürdürülmüştür. Öğrencilerin ortalama yaşı 15.57 idi. Katılımcılara 18 tutum ve 8 bilgi sorusunu içeren bir anket uygulanmıştır. Sonuçlar öğrencilerin su samuruna yönelik tutumlarının olumlu olduğunu göstermektedir. Öğrencilerin olumlu tutumları onların zayıf bilgilerine rağmen bulunmuştur. Çalışma iyi gerçek bilginin pozitif tutumlarla ilişkili olduğunu açığa çıkarmıştır. Sonuçlar ayni zamanda bayan öğrencilerin koruma ile ilgili karsı çıkan maddelere erkek öğrencilerden daha fazla karşı çıktıklarını göstermektedirler.
