Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Hedefi Kapsamında Kadınların Çevresel Yönelim Yapılarının Karşılaştırmalı İncelemesi: Türkiye ve Pakistan Örneği

Öz

Çalışma, Türkiye ve Pakistan'daki kadın tüketicilerin sürdürülebilir kalkınma hedefleri ile ilgili çevresel eğilimlerini incelemektedir. Yaş, eğitim, gelir, meslek ve medeni durum gibi demografik faktörlerin kadınların çevresel değerlerini ve yeşil ürünleri kullanımlarını nasıl etkilediğini incelemektedir. Anket temelli bir yaklaşım kullanan çalışma, her iki ülkedeki kadınlar arasında çevresel değerler açısından benzerlikler, ancak çevreye olan kişisel etkileri açısından farklılıklar olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Türk kadınları Pakistanlı kadınlara göre daha yüksek düzeyde çevre dostu ürünleri satın alma eğilimindedirler. Bulgular, kadınlar arasında sürdürülebilir tüketimi teşvik etmek için çevre eğitimi programları ve mali teşvikler dahil olmak üzere hedefli sosyal politikaların gerekliliğini vurgulamaktadır.

A Comparative Investigation of Women's Environmental Orientation Structures within the Scope of the Sustainable Development Goal: The Case of Türkiye & Pakistan

Öz

The study examines the environmental tendencies of female consumers in Turkey and Pakistan in relation to sustainable development goals. It examines how demographic factors such as age, education, income, occupation and marital status influence women's environmental values and their use of green products. Using a survey-based approach, the study finds similarities in environmental values between women in both countries, but differences in their personal impact on the environment. Turkish women are more likely to buy environmentally friendly products. The findings highlight the need for targeted social policies, including environmental education programmes and financial incentives, to promote sustainable consumption among women.
