Abstract

Environmental problems are global problems today but the development of environmental awareness and the approach to one varies between the countries, and even between the municipalities of the same country. Numerous natural and social factors have an impact on its development. Research presented in this article collected the data from the inhabitants and analyzed the level of influence of the following social factors—education, upbringing and local community, on the development of environmental awareness among college educated people in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Data collected through the anonymous survey included answers of the population born after 1995, after the civil war in the country. Chosen questions are related to the waste disposal and processing along with the waste treatment in their communities and households. This article explores how strong the impact of these factors on the development of environmental awareness is and which of them has the greatest influence.
