Abstract

This research aims to explore the interplay between place attachment and attitudes/behaviors towards sustainable consumption, considering the mediating role of sustainable attitudes. The study data covers individuals aged 20 and over living in Turkey. The purpose of selecting individuals in this age range was to create a strong emotional bond with the place of residence. Scholars in environmental studies have underscored the significance of place attachment in shaping sustainable consumption practices. Additionally, this study investigates the influence of socio-demographic factors on place attachment and the mediating function of attitudes in the relationship between place attachment and attitudes/actions towards sustainable consumption. Data for this study were collected through an online survey conducted using Google Forms, with 410 participants responding. Path analysis, mediation analysis, independent t-tests, and one-way analysis of variance were conducted to analyze the established model. Observed socio-demographic characteristics regarding sustainable consumption can provide clear implications for businesses in their market segmentation studies.

可持续消费在地方依恋对可持续消费行为的影响中起中介作用

本研究旨在探讨地方依恋与可持续消费态度/行为之间的相互作用，并考虑可持续态度的中介作用。研究数据涵盖了居住在土耳其的20岁及以上的个人。选择这个年龄段的人的目的是为了与居住地建立强烈的情感联系。环境研究学者强调了地方依恋在塑造可持续消费实践中的重要性。此外，本研究还探讨了社会人口因素对地方依恋的影响，以及态度在地方依恋与可持续消费态度/行动关系中的中介作用。这项研究的数据是通过谷歌表格进行的在线调查收集的，有410名参与者参与了调查。对建立的模型进行通径分析、中介分析、独立t检验和单因素方差分析。观察到的关于可持续消费的社会人口特征可以为企业的市场细分研究提供明确的影响。
