Given the importance of environmental issues among consumers, it seems necessary to examine the factors affecting their attitudes and intentions to buy green products.Consumers' intention to buy refers to an attitude toward green products to meet the needs of the environment; Which is formed under the influence of perceived green value. Therefore, the present study has aimed at the general role of the value of perceived green in the attitude towards green products and explaining the formation of consumer intentions. This research is in the field of cross-sectional research in terms of practical purpose and in terms of method and time interval of data collection. Consumers of green products in Khorramabad's chain stores (Ofogh korosh, Etka, Shahrovand, Refah, Haft) were selected as the statistical population. Multi-stage cluster sampling was performed in 4 main points of Khorramabad city and finally 360 questionnaires were completed. The main research tool was a questionnaire whose validity was measured by a group of experts and confirmatory factor loads, and the reliability of its variables was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha coefficient (α> 0.7).
