Abstract
- This research measures Saudis' environmental awareness. A survey questionnaire that was sent out electronically across the Kingdom has 21 Likert scale questions, ranging from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree," and nine "yes" or "no" questions about activities that are good for the environment. The first part of the questionnaire used binary logistic regression, demographics, and component analysis to test possible hypotheses. All nine statements utilized for Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) in the last section were significant. The factor analysis found three. One of these characteristics revealed a significant gender response, showing that women are more open to and responsive to environmental awareness activities than men. Those who took an environmental course were 1.304 times more ecologically aware than those who did not (factor 2). Participating in campus activities makes 1.449 people more environmentally conscious. This study shows the importance of teaching males about the environment to make it more sustainable.
