Abstract

Milli parklar sahip olduğu doğal ve kültürel değerler yönüyle korunması gereken alanlar arasında bulunmaktadır. Bu alanların sürdürülebilirliğini sağlamak, ekosistemlerini ve biyolojik çeşitliliğini başarılı bir şekilde korumak için yerel halkın katılımı önem arz etmektedir. Türkiye’de toplam 45 milli park bulunmaktadır. Kastamonu ise bu parkların üçüne ev sahipliği yapmaktadır. Bu araştırmada, milli parklara yönelik çevresel kimlik, çevresel tutum ve katılım ilişkisinin Yapısal Eşitlik Modellemesi ile çözümlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda Kastamonu yerel halkından kolayda örnekleme yöntemiyle 399 katılımcıya ulaşılmış ve anket uygulanmıştır. Analizler sonucunda çevresel kimliğin çevresel tutumu, çevresel tutumun da katılımı etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. Bununla beraber yerel halkın doğal alanları ziyaret etme sıklığı, doğa koruma derneğine üye olma durumu, memleketi ve ilde yaşama süresinin çevresel kimlik, çevresel tutum ve katılım boyutlarına göre istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı farklılıklar gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir.

Local People's Environmental Identity, Environmental Attitude and Participation Approaches Towards National Parks

Abstract

National parks are among the areas that should be protected in terms of their natural and cultural values. Participation of local people is important to ensure the sustainability of these areas and to protect their ecosystems and biodiversity successfully. There are 45 national parks in Turkey. Kastamonu is home to three of these parks. In this study, it is aimed to analyze the relationship between environmental identity, environmental attitude and participation towards national parks with Structural Equation Modeling. For this purpose, 399 participants from Kastamonu local people were reached using the convenience sampling method and a questionnaire was applied. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that environmental identity affects environmental attitude and environmental attitude affects participation. However, it was determined that the frequency of visiting natural areas of the local people, the status of being a member of the nature conservation association, their hometown and the duration of life in the province showed statistically significant differences according to environmental identity, environmental attitude and participation dimensions.
