Keskkonnateadlikkus on oluline, sest see aitab inimestel mõista oma tegevuse mõju
keskkonnale ja julgustab neid astuma samme selle kaitsmiseks, sealhulgas loodusvarade
säilitamiseks, saaste vähendamiseks ja säästva arengu edendamiseks.
Keskkonnateadlikkus koosneb kahest komponendist – teadmistest ja valimisolekust
teadmistepõhiselt igapäevaelus toimetada. Inimesed, kes on teadlikud oma tegevuse
mõjust keskkonnale, toetavad suurema tõenäosusega säästva arengu edendamisele
suunatud poliitikaid ja algatusi.
Bakalaureusetöö uurimiseesmärk oli välja selgitada kuivõrd on seotud keskkonnaalased
teadmised ja käitumine. Eesmärgi saavutamiseks ja püstitatud uurimisküsimustele
vastuste leidmiseks koostati ankeetküsimustik, millega uuriti Eesti Maaülikooli
keskkonnakaitse õppekava tudengite teadmisi, käitumist ning neid soodustavaid ja
segavaid faktoreid.
Bakalaureusetöö tulemuste kohaselt võib üliõpilaste keskkonnaalaseid teadmisi pidada
heaks. Kehvemad tulemused tulid kontrollküsimustel ja süvenemist nõudnud väidetel.
Igapäevaste keskkonnaalaste käitumisharjumuste poolest on küsimustikule vastanud Eesti
Maaülikooli keskkonnakaitse tudengit keskkonnasõbralikud – eelistavad
keskkonnasõbralikumaid liikumisviise, proovivad vähendada tarbimist, tarbida energiat
säästlikult, eelistavad taaskasutust ja pika kasutusajaga tooteid. Käitumise osas on
tudengitel parendamisruumi jäätmete sorteerimises.
Enim motiveerib tudengeid keskkonnahoidlikult käituma asjaolu, et keskkonnasäästlik
eluviis tagab teiste liikide ellujäämise ning loodusliku tasakaalu säilimise. Samuti sobib
keskkonnasäästlik elustiil kokku tudengite vaadete ja hoiakutega. Peamiselt takistab
tudengeid keskkonda hoidvamalt elada nende ebakindlus ja mõneti ka ebapiisavad
teadmised.
Environmental awareness is important because it helps peole to understand the impact of their actions on the environment and encourages them to take steps to protect it, including conserving natural resources, reducing pollution and promoting sustainable development. Environmental awareness consists of two components – knowledge and the willingness to make informed choices in everyday life. People, who are aware of their impact of their actions on the environment are more likely to support policies and initiatives aimed at promoting sustainable development. The aim of the bachelor’s thesis was to identify if there is the link between environmental knowledge and behaviour. In order to fulfill the purpose and find answers to research questions, a questionnaire was prepared, which was used to investigate the knowledge, behaviours, contributing and confounding factors of the students of the environmental protection curriculum of the Estonian University of Life Sciences. According to the results of the bachelor thesis, students environmental knowledge can be considered good. Poorer results were found in the control questions and in the statements that requreid consentration. In terms of daily environmental behaviour, the environmental protection students of the Estonian University of Life Sciences who answered the questionnaire are environmentally friendly – they prefer more environmentally friendly modes of movements, try to reduce consumption, save energy, prefer recycling and products with long life span. In terms of behaviour, students have room for improvement in municipal waste sorting. The main motivation for students to act in an environmentally responsible way is that a sustainable lifestyle ensures the survival of other species and the preservation of the natural balance. It also fits in with students views and attitudes. The main obstacles for students to live in a more environmentally friendly way are their insecurity and in some cases, insufficient knowledge.
