Çevre Sorunları ve Halkın Çevre Duyarlılıkları Üzerine Araştırma; Örnek Çalışma

Çalışma, Samsun İlinin Atakum ilçesinde yaşayan halkın, yaşanan su sorunlarına bakışı değerlendirmek amacıyla rastgele belirlenen 363 kişi ile yürütülmüştür. Yapılan bu çalışmada halkın bazı kişisel özelliklerinin (cinsiyet, yaş, yerleşim yeri, eğitim durumu ve meslek) su sorunlarına ilişkin görüşlerinde fark yaratıp yaratmadığı incelenmiştir. Çalışmada literatür taraması yoluyla geliştirilen 31 soruluk anket katılımcılara yöneltilmiştir. Bu anket aracılığıyla halkın, su sorunlarına bakışı, sularla ilgili karşılaşılan problemlerin yol açtığı sorunlar hakkında bilgi sahibi olup olmadıkları ve ücret politikalarının uygunluğuna ilişkin görüşleri belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Anketin geçerliliği için uzman görüşü alınmış ve güvenirlik çalışmaları yapılmış olup verilerin analizinde SPSS 22 programı kullanılmıştır. Su sorunlarına halkın bakışını ölçmek için yapılan çalışmanın anket sonuçları değerlendirildiğinde, bu durum halk tarafından ciddi bir problem olarak görülmektedir. Halkın su sorunlarıyla ilgili değerlendirmeleri göz önüne alınarak, yaşanan ve yaşanabilecek sorunlarına yönelik çözüm önerileri elde edilen bulgularla desteklenerek çalışmada sunulmuştur.
