Bu çalışmanın amacı, bireylerde çevre bilinci ve çevre vergisi bilinci arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmaktır. Buna ek olarak, çevre bilinci ve çevre vergisi bilincinin demografik değişkenlere (cinsiyet, yaş, medeni durum, eğitim durumu, ikametgâh, gelir düzeyi, meslek) göre farklılıklarını belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçlar doğrultusunda Ankara, İstanbul ve İzmir illerinde ikamet eden bireylere anket uygulaması yapılmış, 952 geçerli anket değerlendirmeye alınmıştır. Gerçekleştirilen analizler sonucunda; yaş, eğitim durumu ve ikametgâh değişkenleri ile çevre bilinci; yaş, medeni durum ve meslek değişkenleri ile çevre vergisi bilinci arasında istatiksel olarak anlamlı farklılıklar tespit edilmiştir. Diğer demografik değişkenlerle çevre bilinci ve çevre vergisi bilinci arasında istatiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık bulunamamıştır. Çalışmada bireylerin çevre bilinci ve çevre vergisi bilinci arasında orta düzeyde pozitif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmıştır. Basit doğrusal regresyon analizi sonuçlarına göre, bireylerin çevre vergisi bilinç düzeyindeki değişimin %43'ünü çevre bilincindeki değişimin açıkladığı belirlenmiştir. Çevre bilincindeki 1 birimlik artışın ise çevre vergisi bilinci üzerinde 0,707 birimlik bir artışa sebep olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Bu bulgulardan hareketle hem çevreye hem de çevre vergilerine yönelik bilinci artırma hususunda; eğitimlerin artırılması, hükümetler tarafından oluşturulan politikalar kapsamında çevre vergilerinin etkili kullanımını sağlayacak mekanizmaların geliştirilmesi, çevreye duyarlı ve yeni nesil teknolojilerin kullanımına yönelik teşviklerin çoğaltılması büyük önem taşımaktadır.

The objective of this research is to examine the correlation between the level of environmental consciousness and the degree of consciousness regarding environmental taxes among individuals. In addition, the aim is to ascertain the disparities in environmental consciousness and environmental tax awareness based on demographic variables. To this end, a survey was conducted among individuals residing in the provinces of Ankara, Istanbul, and Izmir, and the data collected from 952 respondents who provided valid responses was analyzed. The analyses revealed a statistically significant relationship between environmental awareness and age, educational status, and residence factors, as well as between environmental tax awareness and age, marital status, and occupation factors. No statistically significant relationship was found between environmental awareness, environmental tax awareness, and other demographic factors. The empirical findings indicate a statistically significant, moderate, and positive association between the level of environmental consciousness and environmental tax consciousness among individuals. Moreover, the findings of the simple linear regression analysis show that the alteration in environmental consciousness accounted for 43% of the variation in environmental tax consciousness. Specifically, a 1 unit increase in environmental consciousness leads to an increase in environmental tax awareness of 0.707 units. Based on these findings, in order to increase awareness of both the environment and environmental taxes, it is important to increase education, develop mechanisms to ensure that governments use environmental taxes effectively, and provide incentives for the use of eco-friendly technologies.
