Model Assumptions and Analysis of Ecological Awareness and Behaviour: an Empirical Study

摘要

Ecological awareness and, consequently, certain types of human behaviour, are still debatable. The issues related to ecology and environmental protection still raise many doubts among various populations. This article presents the results of a survey conducted among respondents residing in southeastern Poland. Due to the multidimensional nature and complexity of the 'ecological awareness' category, the aim of the conducted research was to create a dimensional characteristics model providing the possibility to investigate the way in which the indicated category is perceived by the inhabitants of the southeastern part of Poland.
