Awareness of Legal and Social Dimensions of Climate Change Problem: The Case of Süleyman Demirel Universıty and Isparta Universıty of Applied Sciences
Öz
This study investigates whether students at Süleyman Demirel University and Isparta University of Applied Sciences have different awareness of the legal and social dimensions of climate change depending on demographic variables. The data were applied to a sample of 400 students at Süleyman Demirel University and Isparta University of Applied Sciences between December 2023 and February 2024. The simple random sampling method was used to analyse the survey results using a t-test and ANOVA. The results showed no significant differences in age, mother's education level and father's education level. However, women showed greater general awareness and solution awareness than men. There was a difference between the 1st and 2nd classes and the 3rd class with regard to general awareness. There is a distinction in awareness of income between students with incomes of TL 1,250-2,000 and TL 2,001-3,000, and those with incomes over TL 5,001. The analysis revealed a significant difference in solution awareness between students with different income levels. Students with an income of 2001–3000 TL had higher levels of legal awareness than all other income groups. SDU students had higher general awareness, but ISUBU students had higher legal awareness.
