Abstract

This study examined the environmental consciousness and behaviors of University students for the Eco-campus and assessed the impact of environmental consciousness and behavior on the eco-tourism participation intention. Students of Eco-Campus Silla University in Busan were evaluated using purposive sampling. The data was analyzed using the SPSS program. The results of this study showed that they had an interest in environmental problems. In addition, the environmental consciousness and behavior factors affected the eco-tourism participation intention. These results suggest that more reinforced and improved environmental education should be offered by universities to reveal the importance of the environment.

본 연구는 에코캠퍼스 대학생들의 환경의식과 환경행동 실태를 파악하고 이러한 요인들이 에코투어리즘 참여의도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 에코투어리즘의 개념을 이해하는 에코캠퍼스 재학생들을 대상으로 직접 설문을 실시하여 요인분석, 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 그 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 에코캠퍼스 대학생들의 환경의식요인은 환경의지, 환경관심, 환경지식 3가지로 나누어졌고, 환경행동요인은 친환경구매행동, 사용행동, 절약행동요인으로 나누어졌다. 환경의식요인들은 환경행동요인 각각에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 환경의식요인 중 환경관심요인은 환경행동 3가지 요인 모두에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 환경의지요인은 구매행동에 가장 큰 영향을 미쳤고, 환경관심요인은 사용행동에, 환경지식요인은 절약행동에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타남에 따라 이는 향후 친환경 행동들을 실행하기 위한 환경의식교육의 기초자료가 될 것으로 기대된다. 또한 에코캠퍼스 대학생들은 환경친화적 관광활동인 에코투어리즘 참여의도에도 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 환경의지요인과 환경구매행동요인이 에코투어리즘 참여의도에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.
