Özet:

 Environmental responsibility is a vital necessity for the sustainability of natural resources and the preservation of the quality of life for future generations. Being sensitive about the environment in daily life due to environmental responsibility has recently become more important. Carbon footprint represents the impact that individuals or institutions create on the environment within the scope of greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon footprint causes environmental costs due to components such as greenhouse gas emissions. Environmental costs are the main active component in terms of environmental accounting. At the same time, the impact given to the environment through carbon footprint within the scope of environmental accounting can be better measured and analyzed. The aim of this study is to investigate the awareness levels of university students about carbon footprint. Eliminating the deficiency in the literature on measuring carbon footprint awareness in individuals with the help of likert-type scale brings the study to the forefront and reflects the original value of the study. In line with the purpose of the study, a survey was conducted for a total of 427 university students studying at the undergraduate level in Isparta. According to the basic results obtained from the research, it was determined that university students avoid harming the environment, are careful not to use too much water and try not to use photocopiers unless necessary, thus their carbon footprint awareness is high.

 Çevresel sorumluluk, doğal kaynakların sürdürülebilirliği ve gelecek kuşakların yaşam kalitesinin korunması açısından hayati bir gerekliliktir. Çevresel sorumluluk gereği günlük hayatta çevre konusunda duyarlı olmak son zamanlarda daha önemli hale gelmiştir. Karbon ayak izi bireylerin ya da kurumların sera gazı emisyonu kapsamında çevrede oluşturdukları etkiyi temsil etmektedir. Salgılanan sera gazı emisyonları gibi bileşenler nedeniyle karbon ayak izi çevre maliyetlerine sebebiyet vermektedir. Çevre maliyetleri çevre muhasebesi açısından temel etken bileşen konumundadır. Aynı zamanda çevre muhasebesi bünyesinde karbon ayak izi aracılığıyla çevreye verilen etki daha iyi ölçülebilmekte ve analiz edilebilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı üniversite öğrencilerinin karbon ayak izi konusundaki bilinç düzeylerinin araştırılmasıdır. Likert tipi ölçek yardımıyla bireylerdeki karbon ayak izi farkındalığının ölçülmesi konusunda literatürdeki eksikliğin giderilmesi çalışmayı ön plana çıkarmakta ve çalışmanın özgün değerini yansıtmaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı doğrultusunda Ispartada lisans düzeyinde eğitim gören toplam 427 üniversite öğrencisine yönelik bir anket uygulaması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Gerçekleştirilen araştırmadan elde edilen temel sonuçlara göre, üniversite öğrencilerinin çevreye yönelik zarar vermekten kaçındıkları, çok fazla su kullanmamaya dikkat ettikleri ve gerekmedikçe fotokopi kullanmamaya çalıştıkları dolayısıyla da karbon ayak izi farkındalıklarının yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
