Sustainable development goals (SDGs), formulated as the “2030 Agenda”, are one of the first agenda items of almost all countries. For sustainable development to be sustainable, economic, social, and environmental sustainability, which are the sub-dimensions of sustainable development, must be realized with integrity and balance. When we look at the studies in the literature, studies measuring sustainable development awareness are evaluated in parts rather than measuring awareness about sub-dimensions holistically. On the other hand, these studies have determined that individuals do not associate their sustainable development awareness with their knowledge, attitude, and behavior levels. Therefore, the motivation of this study is to fill this gap in the literature.
For this purpose, the study aims to relate individuals' sustainable development awareness to their knowledge, attitude, and behavior levels. The scale used in the study was developed by Gericke et al. (2019). The data was collected and analyzed online via “Google Forms” on social media, using the convenience sampling method. According to the results of the analysis, it has been observed that while sustainable development awareness varies according to gender, age, profession, income level and whether the person has heard of the concept of sustainable development before, it does not differ according to educational status, where the person grew up, marital status and the school status the person is currently studying.
