KEMENT, Üzeyir; CAVUşOğLU, Sinan; CALıK, Ismail    DURMAZ, Yakup. The effects of environmental value and ecological worldview on eco-recreative attitude: an application in Turkey. []. , 19, 2, pp.7-19.   30--2023. ISSN 2182-8458.  https://doi.org/10.18089/tms.2023.190201.

This study aims to investigate the effects of environmental value and ecological worldview on eco-recreative attitudes. In recent years, human-related pollution has seriously increased. Therefore, it is critical to explain the eco-recreative attitudes of participants with an emphasis on how these attitudes support natural life. Another indicator of the significance of this study is that it explains the premises of the attitude. Environmental value in the proposed model was examined as three sub-factors: biospheric, altruistic, and egoistic. Also, an eco-recreative attitude has three sub-factors, which are affective, cognitive and behavioural. The study population consisted of individuals who participated in eco-recreation activities in Turkey. The data were collected through a questionnaire form using the convenience sampling method. The analyses were conducted using SmartPLS. The findings showed that biospheric (positive) and egoistic value (negative) had an effect on ecological worldview, while ecological worldview had a positive effect on affective, cognitive and behavioural attitude. Also, the altruistic value did not significantly affect the ecological worldview.
