PAVEZ-SOTO, Iskra; LEON-VALDEBENITO, Carolina y TRIADU-FIGUERAS, Verónica. University students and the environment in Chile: Perception and behaviour. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2016, vol.14, n.2, pp.1435-1449. ISSN 1692-715X. https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.14237041215.
Concern about the environment in Chile has increased during recent years among university students, a key social actor that has the ability to influence public debate. This survey analyses the perceptions, attitudes, knowledge and pro-environmental behaviour of a group of university students from Santiago. We concluded that 76% of the university students that participated in the study have a negative perception of urban environment due to air pollution. Also we found that the public spaces have been polluted and degraded around socially excluded areas. In spite of attitudes concern, environmental education demands and strong environmental knowledge, only 23% of university students have developed pro-environmental behaviour such as political advocacy, recycling or awareness activities.
