Abstract
This research investigates the relationship between social and urban structural factors with the attitudes and behaviors of citizens in the environmental domain, aiming to improve the environmental attitudes and behaviors of individuals
Social capital, awareness, sense of place, new environmental attitudes, civic capital, and urban structural facilities are positively related to environmentally responsive behaviors. Regression analysis results showed that civic capital, sense of place, new environmental attitudes, and urban structural facilities explain 40% of the variation in the dependent variable. Therefore, attention to the physical structure of the city such as attractiveness, welfare and recreational facilities, easy access to systems such as transportation, etc., creating pedestrian-friendly spaces that increase interaction among citizens and increase social capital and a high sense of place lead to increased environmental responsible attitudes and behaviors.
