Abstract | This study analyzes relationships between socio-demographic factors (age, sex, education, and household income) and environmental awareness related to the eco-policy in Toyota City, Japan. Previous research has shown that citizens' environmental awareness improved significantly after the city was designated as an environmental model city by the Japanese government in 2009. However, this research did not consider socio-demographic factors, which may be linked to variations in environmental awareness. Using a questionnaire survey, this study addresses this research gap. The findings suggest that education and household income are significantly associated with environmental awareness. Some recommendations for promoting eco-policy are discussed. (As Provided). |
