Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, düzenli olarak rekreasyonel doğa yürüyüşlerine katılan bireylerin Doğayla İlişki (Dİ) düzeyleri ile Ekorekreasyona Yönelik Tutum (EYT) düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesidir. Araştırmanın evrenini sosyal medya platformlarında bulunan doğa sporları topluluklarında üye olan ve düzenli olarak doğa yürüyüşlerine katılan bireyler oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada basit seçkisiz örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemi çerçevesinde bu topluluklara üye olan toplam 336 bireye ulaşılmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri online anket yöntemiyle elde edilmiştir. Araştırma verilerinin analizi doğrultusunda, araştırma kapsamında kullanılan ölçme araçlarının güvenirlik ve normallik testleri yapılmıştır. Değişkenler arası farklılıkların tespiti doğrultusunda tek yönlü varyans analizi ve değişkenler arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesi amacıyla pearson korelasyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma bulgularına göre Dİ ve EYT düzeyleri, doğa yürüyüşüne katılım sıklığı açısından anlamlı olarak farklılaşmaktadır. Ayrıca Dİ ve EYT değişkenleri arasında pozitif yönde bir ilişki olduğu ortaya konmuştur. Sonuç olarak doğa yürüyüşüne katılım sıklığı arttıkça Dİ ve EYT’nin arttığı görülmektedir. Bununla birlikte Dİ arttıkça EYT’nin de aynı şekilde arttığı, Dİ’nin EYT üzerinde önemli bir yordayıcı olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

The Effect of Nature Relatedness on Attitude Towards Ecorecreation

Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between the level of Nature Relatedness (NR) and the level of Attitude Towards Eco-recreation (ATE) of individuals who regularly participate in recreational hiking. The population of the research consists of individuals who are members of nature sports communities on social media platforms and participate in hiking regularly. In this study, a simple random sampling method was used. Within the framework of the sample of the research, a total of 336 individuals who are members of these communities were reached. The data of the research was obtained via the online survey method. Throughout the analysis of the data, the reliability and normality tests of the measurement tools were used. In order to determine the differences between the variables, one-way analysis of variance and correlation analysis were used to determine the relationship between the variables. According to the research findings, NR and ATE levels differ significantly in terms of the frequency of participation in hiking. In addition, it was revealed that there was a positive relationship between the NR and ATE variables. As a result, it was seen that as NR and ATE increase frequency of participation in hiking increases. Thus, it was concluded that as NR increases, ATE increases in the same way, and NR was an important predictor of ATE.
