Considering the intensity of energy consumption and its environmental consequences, especially global warming and air pollution, this study investigates the energy consumption behavior among the citizens of Isfahan, one of the most polluted cities in Iran. While investigating the relationship between social/demographic variables and energy consumption behavior, this study's main emphasis is on investigating the effect of belief in the new ecological paradigm as an environmental attitude on the responsible behavior of people towards energy consumption. The research method is a survey. The statistical population is all the citizens of Isfahan city over 15 years old. Using Cochran's formula, a sample of 384 people was determined and selected by quota sampling. This study's results showed a relationship between people's education level and their economic status with energy consumption behavior. Also, environmental attitude and environmental knowledge have a relationship with energy consumption behavior. One of the most important results is that belief in the new ecological paradigm has an impact on people's behavior towards energy consumption, and belief in the limits of growth plays a significant role in this; People who acknowledge the limitations of land resources and environmental limitations for the growth of industrial society, consider environmental considerations more in the behavior of energy consumption. In this way, environmental education programs can strengthen these inhibiting beliefs in reducing energy consumption in different societies.

The purpose of this study was to identify the components of the curriculum based on increasing environmental literacy in junior high schools. The present study was a mixed (qualitative-quantitative) type. The qualitative stage of the research was based on the data method of the foundation and the grounded theory and Glazer-Strauss method. Statistical population of the qualitative section of 10 experts and faculty members of the university with doctoral studies in the field of curriculum planning and environment with theoretical sampling method until saturation, by conducting a semi-structured interview with a set of basic topics during the open coding process Were collected and categories were extracted from their hearts; Then, in the axial and selective coding stage, the relationship between these categories was determined under the headings of causal conditions, axial phenomena, strategies, context, intervening conditions and its consequences in the form of coding paradigm. The statistical population of the quantitative section was all teachers and experts of the first secondary school of Varamin city in the academic year 1399-1400 (569 people) and based on Cochran's formula, 229 people were selected by cluster random sampling method. The research tool was semi-structured in the qualitative part of the interview and a researcher-made questionnaire in the quantitative part, which was compiled by reviewing the theoretical foundations and the results of the interviews. The results of the present study led to the identification of a main category and 14 sub-categories in the form of a paradigm model including a curriculum based on increasing environmental literacy as the main category, elements of curriculum planning as causal conditions (curriculum goal, curriculum content, process Teaching curriculum learning and curriculum evaluation), contextual factors (teacher education and culture building), intervening conditions (environmental education policy-making, environmental budgeting in textbooks, teachers' attitudes and knowledge about environmental issues, evaluation of issues Strategies (strategic planning, infrastructure enrichment) and consequences (culture optimization, decision optimization and environmental performance improvement) were analyzed.

The most important aspect of nature-oriented tourists’ behaviors is paying attention to environmental sustainability. Much environmental research in the field of tourism has focused on the roles of values, attitudes, beliefs, and norms in shaping environmental behavior. In this study, according to the theory adopted by the majority of psychologists concerning the effect of attitude on behavior, it was used as an intermediate variable for explaining the relationship between knowledge and tourists’ environmental behaviors in the tourist areas of Tehran. This research was applied in terms of purpose and a descriptive survey in terms of data collection method. To conduct it, a researcher-made questionnaire with 75 variables was prepared and adjusted. Its reliability was confirmed by a Cronbach's alpha of 0.939 and its validity was formally confirmed. The statistical population included the tourists referring to 5 mountain tourism areas of Tehran. To estimate the sample size of 302 people from an unknown community, Cochran's formula was used. The study area included 5 mountain tourism areas of Tehran. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data. The analytical results of the behavioral models of the nature-oriented tourists showed a positive and significant relationship between attitude and environmental behavior and also between attitude and environmental knowledge with the factor loads of 0.68 and 0.82 at the significant level of less than 0.05, respectively. Also, the tourists’ environmental behaviors were studied based on their educational levels. According to the results, the tourists’ environmental behaviors depended on their levels of education. Thus, it could be stated that the existence of a cognitive analysis system called “tourist environmental knowledge” in combination with an emotional system would lead to the formation of their environmental attitudes, which could act as a basis for improving and optimizing their behaviors in the tourism destinations.

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the social determinants of responsible environmental behavior of citizens with emphasis on independent variables of environmental knowledge, environmental attitudes and spatial attachment. The research method was survey and the statistical sample included 382 citizens aged 15 to 65 years in the city of Shush who were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling. The research data collection tool was a questionnaire. The descriptive findings of the study showed that the average level of responsible environmental behaviors of the citizens of Shush was moderate (59.88). The results of path analysis showed that the variables of sense of spatial belonging (0.194), environmental awareness (0.456), environmental attitude (0.225) have a direct impact on responsible environmental behavior. According to the research findings, the variable of sense of place belonging through environmental attitude had 0.176% indirect effect on the research problem. Overall, the variables included in the model could explain 0.35% of the changes in responsible environmental behavior. Comparison of beta coefficients showed that the effect of total environmental awareness (0.476) was greater than the other variables included in the model on the research problem.

Due to the existing risks, measuring environmental attitudes has become one of the most important social issues today. The aim of the article is to study environmentalism and its sociological explanation in Iran with the cross-country comparative approach. Based on the theoretical perspectives that explain environmentalism, the effect of various variables such as economic welfare or livelihood poverty, social capital, gender, Religion and religiosity has been experimentally tested. Methodologically, the study was conducted using the documentary method and secondary analysis of World Values Survey (WVS) data in the latest wave. The 7th wave has been implemented in 59 countries (including Iran) between 2017 and 2020. According to the findings, Iran is placed in cluste 1 (the countries with a high score in the environmentalism index), and has obtained the 11th rank among 59 countries. The results show that environmentalism both in Iran and in the world is directly affected by education, economic well-being, social participation and Post-Materialist values and inversely by the variables of age, poverty and religiosity. Another important finding of the research is the different environmental tendencies of the world's dominant religions: While Jews consider economic growth and environmental protection to be equally important, Christians are more environmentalists and Muslims are more advocates of economic growth.

Today, with the increase of environmental problems and crises, it has increased the importance of discussion and research on environmental issues. Changes that occur in human behavior in the environment can cause environmental degradation. To prevent the destruction of the environment, human behavior must change to Eco-friendly behavior. Achieving behavioral change requires understanding people's attitudes toward the environment. The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors affecting the tourists’ environmentally friendly behavior in Sorkhabad Savadkuh rangelands. The research method was descriptive-survey and the data collection tool was a questionnaire whose validity was confirmed by the views of professors and relevant experts and its reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha test. Using Cochran's random method and statistics, 86 tourists were selected as the sample. Data analysis was performed using SPSS22 software and Smart PLS software. The results obtained from calculating the correlation coefficient indicate significant positive relationship between environmental perception and environmental behavior of tourists. The results of stepwise regression analysis showed that the environmental impact variable (0.444) had the greatest effect on the environmental behavior variable. In other words, a higher level of has led to more responsible environmental behavior among tourists in that area. According to the structural equation modeling findings, the variables of perception, attitude and environmental knowledge affect the environmental behavior variable with coefficients of 0.768, 0.031 and 0.210, respectively.

The issue of environment and its protection is the most important concern of contemporary man. The environment refers to the whole environment to which human is directly or indirectly dependent and is a process that supports living. Ever since human set foot on the planet, there has been a constant and stable interaction between him and the natural world. But with the growth of population and the industrialization of societies, it imposed an increasing demand on nature and caused its resources to be destroyed. In this regard, the main purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between human activities and the natural environment and the level of citizens' awareness of this issue. The statistical population of the study is the citizens of Maragheh, a sample of 348 of whom were selected through the Cochran's formula. The present research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical research in terms of method, which has been done through library and field study (questionnaire). The sample members were selected through cluster-random sampling. To analyze the data, sample statistical tests and Spearman correlation coefficient were used in SPSS software environment. According to the research findings, citizens with an average of 3.4% have the necessary sensitivity and awareness about the environmental issues of their city, but due to the depth of their economic and social problems, environmental issues with 6.8% are a concern. It has not been the main people. Citizens' behavior, attitude and environmental knowledge are in good condition. But the legal-institutional components that are considered as the basis for the correct thought and action of the people, managers and officials; With an average of 2.5, they are not in a very favorable situation. There is also a relationship between the components of environmental citizenship and the environmental behavior of citizens. Therefore, by training and holding courses on proper consumption patterns and legal-institutional contexts, consumption patterns and practices in accordance with environmental values can be promoted.

Today, with the spread of environmental issues and risks, the study of environmental behaviors has become more important for researchers. Environmental Behaviors is a set of actions of people in society towards the environment that includes a wide range of feelings, inclinations and specific preparations to perform behaviors in relation to the environment. The purpose of this study is to investigate the research conducted in the field of environmental sociology using meta-analysis. The statistical population of the study includes all research articles that have been published and indexed in the country in the last 10 years between 2010 and 2019 with the subject of environmental sociology in the initial review, about 49 preliminary articles were identified, and finally, after considering all necessary criteria, 20 studies were selected as a statistical sample. SPSS and CMA.2 software were used for data analysis. Systematic review of studies shows that 75% of the authors had a PH.D. In sociology, most of the research was done in Mazandaran and Kurdistan provinces and in 2012 and 2017 the highest number of researches has been published. Also, in all studies, the variable of environmental behavior has been considered as the main variable. Examining the effect size of different variables shows that the size of random effects for the effect of environmental attitude is 0.222, environmental knowledge is 0.112, environmental awareness is 0.317 and environmental values on environmental behavior are equal to 0.256. It is found that the combined effect size of the environmental awareness variable was more than other variables.

In today's world, citizenship is one of the concepts that is related to the social and cultural environment on the one hand and as a dominant phenomenon of globalization on human coexistence and cultural, political, economic and social interactions on the other hand. Due to the uncontrolled growth of the physical space of Tabriz metropolis and also due to experiencing a series of environmental crises (drying of Lake Urmia in the west of this city and decreasing groundwater level), Coming of industrial estates in four geographical directions and polluting due to industries such as; Power plants, refineries, machinery, tractors, etc., the destruction of gardens around this metropolis and the transformation of gardens and surrounding farms into dry and lifeless apartments from achieving sustainable urban development and transformation It is a long way from a green society. Finally, regarding the importance and necessity of "identifying the key factors (drivers) of environmental citizenship", he also pointed out that culture-building for the environment should be considered not only as an economic factor, but also as a cultural perspective. Pay attention. In fact, the main issue of the present study is: What are the key factors (drivers) that determine environmental citizenship? Table (1): Problem Solving at a Glance (Research Strategy) The main research question: What are the key factors (drivers) that determine environmental citizenship? The main purpose of this research is to identify the key factors (drivers) of environmental citizenship Research questions

Identify the drivers and influential trends of environmental citizenship Futurology Review previous research In-depth interviews library resources questionnaire Mick Mac software What are the influential dimensions of environmental citizenship ؟Identify the effective dimensions of environmental citizenship in order of importance Table Source: Researchers' Findings 2019. The philosophy of the environmental citizen is based on these principles: People are part of the environment. The future depends on a healthy environment. Seriousness in environmental behavior is necessary. A healthy environment is what people want, and informed voters will be healthier and more successful in creating an environment (Basby, 2007). According to Dobson, in a sustainable perspective, an environmental citizen has a responsibility to work in the community to achieve sustainable development; And that includes all the activities that each person normally has as a citizen who is dependent on a healthy environment (which includes recycling, reconstruction, renewal and service to the environment). انجام is responsible for doing them (Dobson, 2007). An environmental citizen is a citizen who seeks to strike a balance between his or her responsibilities to the environment and existing laws. The term environmental citizen was developed by Hungerford and Volk (1990). They consider the environmental citizen to be: 1) is aware of and sensitive to the environment and its problems;2) has a clear understanding of the environment and its problems; 3) has a sense of concern for the environment and has sufficient motivation to actively participate in improving and protecting the environment;4) Has the necessary skills to identify and solve environmental problems5) In order to solve environmental problems, has active participation at all levels (Barakpour and Jahansir, 2016: 56).Summarizing and criticizing the studies, it is stated that; Despite the importance and role of environmental citizenship in sustainable development, cultural factors related to it and despite acknowledging the relationship between variables such as: environmental lifestyle, environmental awareness or literacy, environmental attitude, environmental behavior, Responsible and sustainable consumption, environmental concern and environmental ethics, consumerism, cultural investments (Azadkhani et al., 2018; Lotfian and Nasri Fakhrdavood, 2018; Mohammadi ‌Dehcheshmeh and Azadbakht, 2018; Moradi, 2017; Hajizadeh Meymandi and Falakuddin, 2017; Rastegar Khalid et al., 2017; Rezaei et al., 2017; Kabiri and Karimzadeh Rezaieh, 2017, Hemmati et al., 2017; Mashhadi, 2016; Fathi et al., 2015; Hemmati and Sheberi, 2015; Holden, 2015; Reynolds et al., 2015; Betagol and Merritt, 2013; Lavin and Stroop, 2012) With environmental citizenship, it can be concluded that in our country, Iran in Less research has been done on the key factors (drivers) that underlie and affect environmental citizenship among citizens, especially citizens of large cities. Each of these researches related to variables has only one or two variables.

  The method of this research is futurology. First, the Delphi method is used. In this study; To analyze the key factors (drivers) of environmental citizenship, 20 citizens of Tabriz were selected using the Delphi technique. Then, the effect result was entered into Mikmak software after taking the mean of all interactions and was analyzed.

 Findings showed that the initial identified factors (drivers) of environmental citizenship of Tabriz citizens according to the degree of impact are: environmental awareness or literacy, environmental attitude, environmental behavior, environmental concern Environment and the two variables of responsible environmental consumption and environmental ethics are two-dimensional factors. These variables are located in the diagram around the diagonal line of the northeastern part of the diagram and have a very high capacity to become key players in the system.

Environmental attitude, environmental behavior, environmental concern, environmental awareness or literacy, responsible environmental consumption and environmental ethics are identified from the highest influencing factor to the lowest influential factor from the perspective of experts and specialists, respectively. Taken. Now, considering the weight of the factors and the priority of their impact on environmental citizenship, the following suggestion can be made in this regard:Cultural policymakers, managers, and planners should develop environmental citizenship education content and policies and policies related to environmental citizenship education programs in order to enhance environmental awareness or literacy.

The overall objective of the present study was to determine the impact of social responsibility and environmental orientation on green marketing performance of Tehran municipality sports programs.

The present study was a descriptive correlational research based on structural equation modeling. The statistical population of the study consisted of managers of Tehran municipality (managers of 22 districts and sports complexes) with 800 persons and the statistical sample was selected based on Cochran formula 260. In this study, Turker (2009) Social Responsibility Questionnaire ,, Banerjee (2002) Environmental Attitude and Fraj (2013) Marketing Performance Questionnaire were used. The apparent validity of the questionnaires was assessed using expert opinion and the construct validity (divergent and convergent) was assessed using confirmatory factor analysis and Fornell and Larcker criteria .. Cronbach's alpha test was used to confirm the reliability of the questionnaires (α=0.77). Structural equation analysis with PLS statistical software was also used to analyze the data.

The results showed that social responsibility has a positive and significant effect on marketing performance and explains 38.3% of the variance of marketing performance. However, environmental attitude did not show a significant effect on marketing performance.

Therefore, it is suggested that green market orientation strategies be considered as one of the most important strategies in green performance improvement in RTSA in Tehran Municipality Sport Organization.

Decades of environmental conservation experience have shown that Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) of human society is an essential part of conservation. In this regard, the purpose of this study is to investigate the KAP of Mashhad citizens towards biodiversity and related factors. This research was conducted with a mixed quantitative and qualitative method. The statistical population of the study, using Cochran's formula, 384 samples of people over 15 years old living in different areas of Mashhad, was determined based on clustering. The data collection tool was a localized EU questionnaire whose validity and reliability were 0.73 for 5 items of variable attitude, 0.77 for 7 items of variable and 0.71 of 5 items of variable behaviour. Descriptive statistics and results from Exell2016 and SPSS16.0 software as well as distribution and frequency tables and related graphs were applied to describe the data. SPSS16.0, t-test, test hypotheses from t-test, variance analysis and Spearman correlation test were applied to analyse the data and hypothesis test. The results showed that less than a third of people had heard of the biodiversity term. University education contributes to the improvement of the term biodiversity. There is also a significant relationship among the variables of gender, income and education's type of citizens' attitudes toward biodiversity. In addition, there is a positive and significant correlation between environmental knowledge and attitude. In fact, with the increase in the level of knowledge, the attitude of citizens towards biodiversity has been raised to a higher level. As a result, their behaviours are directed towards the protection of the environment. There is also a significant difference between the KAP of citizens living in different areas. Finally, by analysing the biodiversity profile in the KAP of Mashhad citizens and referring to the Delphi panel, a conceptual model of the research was presented.

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship of information literacy and environmental knowledge, attitude and practice of primary school teachers.

This was a correlational study. Population included all teachers (male and female) in the first to sixth grades of primary school in District 1 of Hamadan, numbering 875 students. A stratified random sampling method was used and 267 teachers (208 females and 59 males) were selected and participated in the study. Instruments were: 1. Information Literacy Questionnaire (Yazdani, 2012) and; 2. Environmental Awareness, Attitude and Practice Scale (Farokhi, 2014), with the required reliability and validity.

Results showed the level of information literacy of teachers to be moderate. However, in the dimensions of "need definition, location , and  information evaluation,"  this was above the average. In the dimensions of “organizing information and information exchange,”  it was lower than the median of the society. Also, findings showed that the level of “environmental knowledge” and “environmental attitude” of teachers was appropriate; but the “environmental practice” of teachers was in poor condition. Lastly, the results showed a positive significant relationship between all dimensions of information literacy with teachers' knowledge, attitude and environmental practice (P <0.01).

Teachers with higher information literacy will have access to better environmental knowledge and as a result will have better environmental attitudes and practices. Therefore, we can increase their information literacy to improve their environmental knowledge, attitude and practice.

Today, the emergence of environmental crises and problems in the world has given greater attention to environmental protection behaviors. This attention to environmental behavior has prompted a great deal of research in recent years on the factors affecting environmental behavior. Due to an increase in environmental behaviors research and identify the factors affecting it, this study aimed to investigate the factors affecting environmental behaviors in research conducted in Iran.

The research method of this paper is the meta-analysis. Population of the study almost scientific papers that are the subject factors environmental behaviors in 2001 and 2020 were published. Finally, 18 papers selected and analyzed with the Comprehensive Meta-analysis software.

The results of the meta-analysis showed that the effect size between cultural capital and environmental behaviors approximately 0.38, was in moderate level. Also relationship between environmental attitude and environmental behaviors was about 0.28 and in low level. Results show that the combined effects of the relationship between environmental Value and environmental behaviors the equivalent of 0.27, was in low level.
