چکیده

گرمایش جهانی و تغییرات آب و هوایی ناشی از فعالیت­های بشر یکی از مشکلات عمد­ه­ی زیست­محیطی است که در دو دهه­ی اخیر توجه بسیاری از محافل علمی و سیاسی جهان را به خود جلب کرده است. این تحقیق با موضوع عوامل مرتبط با رفتارهای حامی محیط زیست در محیط شهری انجام شده است. جامعه آماری این تحقیق شهروندان 15 تا 75 ساله شهر کرج بوده است که تعداد ۱٬۶۱۴٬۶۲۶ نفر هستند که حجم نمونه با استفاده از نمونه­گیری تصادفی خوشه­ای با استفاده از فرمول کوکران، 384 نفر تعیین شد. روش تحقیق پیمایش و ابزارگردآوری داده­ها پرسشنامه است. اعتبار پرسشنامه از نوع صوری و پایایی آن با استفاده از آلفای کرونباخ اندازه­گیری شد. نتایج تحقیق نشان می­دهد که بین متغیرهای تحصیلات، آگاهی از تغییرات آب و هوا، دانش عمومی درباره تغییرات آب و هوا، ادراک از خطر تغییرات آب و هوا، نگرش نسبت به تغییرات آب و هوا و رفتارهای حامی محیط زیست، رابطه­ی معنادار وجود دارد؛ همچنین بین زنان و مردان در رفتارهای حامی محیط زیست تفاوت معناداری وجود دارد. نتایج تحلیل رگرسیونی نشان می­دهد که با توجه به ضریب تعیین تعدیل شده متغیرها در معادله رگرسیون، 29 درصد از واریانس متغیر وابسته توسط متغیرهای مستقل تعیین می­شود و ادراک از خطر تغییرات آب و هوا، بیشتر اثر کلی را بر روی رفتارهای حامی محیط زیست دارد.
