چکیده

حفاظت از محیط زیست به معنی استفاده بهینه و مناسب از آن است، به نحوی که بتواند کیفیت خود را از نظر زندگی انسانی حفظ نماید. در این راستا ارتقاء سواد محیط زیستی بسیار مهم می‌باشد. توسعه سواد محیط زیستی یک امر ضروری در جامعه است که در نهایت منجر به افزایش دانش، نگرش مثبت و رفتار مسئولانه در قبال حفاظت از منابع طبیعی می‌شود. هدف از انجام این پژوهش بررسی و ارزیابی دانش، نگرش و رفتار محیط زیستی ذینفعان مختلف شامل استادان دانشگاه، دانشجویان و جامعه محلی جنگل‌نشین استان لغمان در افغانستان در رابطه با حفظ و احیای جنگل‌ها و مقایسه آنها با یکدیگر می‌باشد. روش تحقیق این پژوهش از نظر هدف کاربردی و از نظر روش انجام کار، پیمایشی میدانی می‌باشد. در این تحقیق از آمار توصیفی برای بررسی اطلاعات جمعیت شناختی و از آمار استنباطی برای تجزیه و تحلیل داده‌ها استفاده شد که با استفاده از نرم‌افزار SPSS22 صورت گرفت. نتایج پژوهش نشان داد که در بین سه گروه هدف مورد مطالعه، جامعه محلی نسبت به دو گروه دیگر یعنی دانشجویان و استادان دانشگاه، سطح سواد محیط زیستی پایین‌تری در رابطه با حفظ و نگهداری بوم‌سیستم جنگل دارند. بنابراین به دلیل افزایش جمعیت در دهه‌های اخیر و روند رو به فزونی آن وافزایش استفاده از جنگل‌های استان لغمان و در نتیجه تخریب و آلودگی آنها، لازم است که یک برنامه‌آموزشی جهت ارتقاء و بهبود آگاهی و دانش جنگل‌نشینان تدوین گردد.

چکیده [English]

Environmental protection means the optimal and proper use of it to maintain its quality in terms of human life. In this regard, promoting ecological literacy is very important. The development of environmental literacy is an essential issue in society that ultimately leads to increased knowledge, positive attitudes, and responsible behavior towards the protection of natural resources. This study investigates and evaluates the knowledge, philosophy, and environmental behavior of various stakeholders, including university professors, students, and the local forest-dwelling community of Laghman province in Afghanistan, about forest conservation and restoration, compare them with each other. The research method is applied in terms of purpose, field survey, and process of doing work. In this study, descriptive statistics were used to examine demographic information, and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data using SPSS22 software. The results showed that among the three target groups, the local community has a lower level of environmental literacy to the conservation of the forest ecosystem than the other two groups, namely students and university professors. Therefore, due to the increase in population in recent decades and its increasing trend and increasing use of forests in Laghman province and their destruction and pollution, it is necessary to develop a training program to promote and improve the knowledge of forest dwellers.
