An understanding of the current situation of nature experiences among adolescents is of critical importance for the protection of nature. The participants of this study are 14-15 year-old pupils from Bavaria (Southern Germany) and Asturias (Northern Spain). In particular, the author was interested in a) the level of outdoor experiences of each group; b) the influence of independent factors, such as gender and environmental behaviour at home, upon nature experiences; c) the relationship between outdoor experiences and environmental knowledge, readiness to act and actual environmental behaviour; d) cultural differences between Asturian and Bavarian pupils. Using a standardised questionnaire, the data were collected in spring 2007. As the study showed, nature experiences can be separated into different dimensions. There are differences in the extent and type of influence nature experiences have on the samples of Bavaria and Asturias. The Asturian pupils have higher values in the dimension relating to their present situation and in their expectations of future nature experiences in comparison with the pupils in the sample of Bavaria. Also, it might be proven (with the help of regressions) that nature experiences may positively affect environmental knowledge, attitudes and actions. These results could potentially help educators and researchers to identify the aspects of existing in-school programmes and extra-curricular activities that need to be improved.

ZimbarFuture orientation (FO) expresses interpersonal differences affecting the creation of attitudes and behaviour in many life areas. FO is a prerequisite of sustainability, which requires considering environmental consequences for future generations. This study compared two primary measures of FO; Zimbardo’s Future Time Perspective (F-ZTP) and the Consideration of Future Consequences Scale (CFC), in the environmental context. While higher values of CFC predicted significantly higher levels of environmental variables, higher values of F-ZTP did not predict higher levels, and in some cases even predicted significantly lower levels of environmental variables. We suggest that FO is multidimensional, that different constructs capture different dimensions of FO and when temporal conflict involve social conflicts, as in most environmental conflicts, an inconsistency between the predictabilities of the constructs may emerge, revealing a conflict between the “futures” people are orienting at.

Comparing environmental behaviours in the neighbouring countries of Austria, the Czech Republic and Germany, this article discusses the national and individual level determinants of private and public environmental actions. For this purpose, survey data collected by the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) in 1993, 2000 and 2010 are analysed. The analysis reveals that values are more important for public behaviour and socio-demographics are more important for private behaviour. At the macro-level, an initial gap can be reported: Public and private behaviours were less frequent in the Czech Republic and also to a certain extent in East Germany. The gap between these former socialist countries and Austria and Germany has decreased over time. The convergence, however, happens at an overall low level of public behaviour and an overall high level of private behaviour.

This study modelled residents’ environmental sanitation behaviour in Ibadan metropolis, Nigeria. To examine the factors influencing environmental sanitation behaviour, residents were sampled across the residential areas of the metropolis. The identified factors were residents’ socioeconomic background, residential characteristics, access to environmental sanitation facilities and services, and agreement with environmental sanitation exercise. Findings revealed that environmental sanitation exercise was a strong and statistically significant predictor (R2 = .971) of environmental sanitation behaviour in Ibadan metropolis while other factors were trailing behind with 2.9% contribution. These findings suggest that environmental sanitation in Ibadan metropolis was mainly an exercise rather than a practice. It was law-driven, and therefore mostly government-initiated and motivated. These findings have implications for practice and policy making by highlighting environmental sanitation reorientation and strengthening of other identified factors of environmental sanitation behaviour in the metropolis.

W niniejszym artykule zaprezentowano model środowiskowych zachowań sanitarnych w metropolii Ibadan w Nigerii. Aby przeanalizować czynniki wpływające na badane zachowania, dokonano doboru próby mieszkańców w dzielnicach mieszkalnych miasta. Zidentyfikowano następujące czynniki: warunki społeczno-ekonomiczne, cechy mieszkańców, dostęp do usług i urządzeń higieny środowiskowej oraz porozumienie co do ćwiczeń na rzecz higieny środowiskowej. Wyniki badań ukazały, że ćwiczenia związane z higieną środowiskową były istotnym i statystycznie znaczącym czynnikiem ((R2 = 0,971) oddziałującym na środowiskowe zachowania sanitarne w Ibadanie, natomiast pozostałe czynniki odgrywały znacznie mniejszą rolę z oddziaływaniem na poziomie 2,9%. Wyniki te sugerują, że higiena środowiskowa w Ibadanie to raczej rezultat ćwiczeń aniżeli systematycznej praktyki. Działania były wykonywane wskutek regulacji prawnych, a zatem inicjowane przez rząd. Implikacją badań dla sfery praktycznej i politycznej może być konieczność reorientacji higieny środowiskowej i wzmocnienia pozostałych czynników na nią oddziałujących.
