| Factor analysis is an important tool in the determination of factors affecting family's attitudes and thoughts towards the environmental sensitivity and knowledge. This application attempts to collect expressions relating to the environment that have gained significance under the one and the same heading. The data used in the study comprises the data from the questionnaires of 251 families that had migrated to the centre of Tokat province that were respondents in the 2007 'Environmental Survey'. The 27 questions in the questionnaire were ranked in accordance with the Likert scale. The factor analysis technique was applied to these questions designed to test the individuals' environmental sensitivity and consciousness. In the first part of the application of factor analysis 10 factors were identified whose eigen values were equal to or greater than 1. In the research region the most important factors that expressed the sensitivity of families that had migrated from rural areas to urban areas, were sensitivity to air pollution, sensitivity to inadequate feeding habits due to environmental pollution and global sensitivity (urbanization, desertification, the ozone later depletion, wastes) were all labelled as development sensitivities. The results of the factor analysis show that the sensitivity of families that have migrated to the cities to the environment stems from knowledge on the issues concerning these factors. This means that in individuals knowledge on the environment is limited to certain subjects. It has been determined that families are more sensitive to air pollution and they are more familiar with this factor and more knowledgeable. These results that have emerged due to factor analysis will be of assistance in helping families that have migrated from rural areas to the urban areas to be more sensitive and knowledgeable about the environment and its protection. |
