The present study aimed to determine the difference between the environmental attitudes of freshmen and senior students attending Karadeniz Technical University Landscape Architecture Department in Turkey. The study group included
160 freshmen and senior students at KTU Landscape Architecture. A scale developed by Uzun and Sağlam (2000) was employed as the environmental attitude
scale. The scale includes 27 items in environmental behavior and environmental
thought subscales. The environmental behavior subscale includes 13 items and
the environmental thought subscale includes 14 items. The Cronbach alpha internal consistency coefficient of the environmental behavior subscale was calculated
as 0.855, and the Cronbach alpha internal consistency coefficient of the environmental thought subscale was 0.812. Thus, it could be suggested that the scale was
valid and reliable. It was determined in the study that the environmental behavior
(46.9875) and environmental thought (52.0375) and total environmental attitude
scores (99.025) of the senior students were higher when compared to the freshmen (90.3375).
