Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, çevre yanlısı politik destek üzerinde siyasal güven başta olmak üzere diğer sosyopolitik ve demografik unsurların etkilerini incelemektir. Özellikle bireylerin çevreci eğilim ve güven seviyesi ile politik destek arasındaki ilişki düzeyinin ülkeler arasında nasıl değişim gösterdiği ve geliştirilen politikaların nasıl farklılaştığı akademik ve politik alanlarda sıklıkla tartışılan konulardır. Siyasal güven yanı sıra bireylerin sosyal güven düzeyi, demokrasiye atfedilen önem ve post-materyalist değerlere yatkınlık düzeyi gibi politik ve kültürel unsurlar, cinsiyet, eğitim ve gelir düzeyi gibi demografik etmenlerin çevre yanlısı politik destek üzerinde belirleyici etkisi olmaktadır. Bu kapsamda 7. Dalga Dünya Değerler Araştırmaları (2017-2021) anket sonuçları dikkate alınarak çevresel politik destek üzerinde etkili olan unsurlar Lojistik Regresyon Analizi ile tespit edilmektedir. Çalışma sonucunda siyasal güven ve sosyal güven başta olmak üzere sosyopolitik ve kültürel bileşenlerin demografik etmenlerden daha fazla çevre yanlısı politik desteği üzerinde açıklayıcı bir etkiye sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu minvalde siyasal ve sosyal güven düzeyi yüksek olan ülkelerde çevreci eğilimler de daha yüksek olmaktadır.

“Political Trust” As The Main Factor of Policy Support on Environmental Problems

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the impact of other sociopolitical and demographic factors, especially political trust, on pro-ecological policy support. In particular, how the level of the relationship of political support with people's environmental tendency and political trust varies between countries, and how it affects the policies carried out are the issues focused in the academic and political fields. In addition to political trust, it is asserted that political and cultural factors such as the level of social trust between people in society, the importance attributed to democracy and inclination to postmaterialistic values, as well as demographic factors such as gender, education, and income have a determining effect on pro-ecological policy support. In this context, the factors affecting political support were determined by Logistic Regression Analysis, considering the results of the 7th Wave World Values Research (2017-2021) survey. As a result of the study, it has been concluded that sociopolitical and cultural factors, exclusively political trust and social trust, have a further explanatory effect on pro-ecological policy support than demographic factors. In this context, environmental tendencies are also higher in countries with a high level of political and social trust.
