Climatic disasters, including floods, have made the process of production and livelihood in agriculture extremely vulnerable. In this regard, various studies have shown that improving risk perception of farmers led to an increase in the use of risk reduction strategies and has a significant role in reducing damage. Therefore, present survey study was conducted with the aim of identifying factors affecting flood risk perception among strawberry growers in Kurdistan province. 375 strawberry growers were selected through stratified random sampling and interviewed using a questionnaire. The results of data analysis using SPSS and AMOS software version 21 showed that strawberry growers have a relatively good flood risk perception. Structural equation modeling showed that environmental attitude, knowledge about climate changes, responsibility and trust in climate information had direct effects on the flood risk perception of strawberry growers. Also, variables of responsibility and knowledge had indirect effects on risk perception through influence on environmental attitude. According to the findings, self-efficacy did not affect flood risk perception among strawberry growers. In general, findings of this study can help planners in the field of agriculture and particularly strawberry crop in Kurdistan province to alleviate the destructive impacts of climate change and especially floods by devising adaptive and resilient solutions and increase the degree of realization of risk reduction programs through attracting people's participation in different programs.

Environment is known as the basis of human life as well as ecotourism activities. Nowadays, the occurrence of environmental problems, their increasing trend, and the dangers that threaten the earth planet are an important challenge for societies, and preserving the nature is possible with a change in our knowledge, thinking, and performance about the issues that we have done before. This will happen when we learn; and in the meantime, what is worthy of consideration is the role of the content of educational books and educational system in environmental behaviors. In line with this goal, several national and international researches have been conducted. One of these national researches investigated the relationship between awareness and attitude with environmentally responsible behaviors in the first-grade female high school students of district 4 of Karaj city. Its results showed that there is a significant relationship between environmental awareness and students' attitude and their responsible behaviors, a significant relationship between environmental behavior and their attitude, and a significant relationship between parents' education and students' awareness. A foreign demographic study was conducted on the environmental responsible behaviors of students and it was concluded that female students, those who follow nature-related publications and often participate in nature-related activities, have more responsible behaviors with respect to others and predict environmental problems. The current research has been conducted aiming at a comparative study of educational content and the effect of side factors in the occurrence of environmental and ecotourism behaviors in high school students of Semnan township.

The research method in this study is a descriptive-analytical method that was selected from the simple stratified random sampling method among the students in the first year of secondary school in Semnan city and its surrounding villages. The information needed for the research was collected through a questionnaire in three sections with 50 items in the spring of 2016 and then was evaluated using SPSS software. Data analysis was quantitative and the obtained information was analyzed using student's T-test, Pearson correlation coefficient, and regression coefficient.

Results of the research indicate that there is no difference between urban and rural students in terms of environmental behaviors, and no significant difference was seen in terms of optimal environmental performance between male and female students and urban and rural school students; although the level of parental literacy was effective in strengthening students' environmental and ecotourism behaviors. Also, the students had a positive attitude towards the content of the book, and increasing the awareness of the students about the environmental issues that were included in the book led to a 20% improvement in their performance.

Based on this research results, parents with a higher level of education have children who are more concerned about the environment, and the responsible behaviors towards the environment and ecotourism view increases in these children. This issue shows the undeniable impact of knowledge, awareness and the role of family in improving the performance of family members. However, in examining the effective background factors in increasing the responsibility, the role of other factors such as material costs, access to technology, and individual abilities should also be considered.

Many environmental threats are the consequences of human behavior. The solution to reducing the environmental problems is environmental education and changing human behavior. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of virtual environmental education on the attitude and pro-environmental behavior of primary school female students. The study was quasi-experimental with pre-test and post-test. 60 students were selected through a multistage sampling method from female students of primary schools of Abyek city for the 2019-2020 educational year, and they were then randomly assigned to the control and experimental groups. The environmental education was instructed with the experimental group during 12 sessions, three times per week. The data were collected using the standard environmental attitudes and environmental behaviors questionnaires. The reliability of the questionnaires was calculated through Cronbach alpha (0.85 and 0.82 respectively for environmental attitudes and environmental behavior, respectively). The ANCOVA test was used for analyzing the information. The results revealed a statistically significant difference between the pre-test and post-test of the experimental group not only in environmental attitudes but also in their pro-environmental performance (P<0.01). The findings confirmed that age-specific environmental education plays a crucial role in enhancing the environmental attitude and performance of the students so that it can be recommended as a preventive strategy against the environment destruction.
