Abstract

Environmental attitudes and awareness are very critical in determining the conduct of people and the society in the management of the environment. It is crucial to comprehend these attitudes as well as factors affecting them to design adequate measures for increasing consciousness of the environment. Currently, this manuscript provides a systematic bibliographic review of environmental attitudes and awareness based on the Scopus database which encompasses 63 articles within the 2010-2024 period. Environmental attitudes are now recognized as having a central role to play in addressing environmental problems, which explains the growing scholarly interest in this area. Using data from the past fourteen years, the study highlights the leading authors, countries, institutions, and funds involved in research to offer information on the geographical distribution of the research activity. The geographical locations of the published articles also reveal areas of higher research productivity depending on the capability of the regions in terms of academic and research activities. To date, some of the best-ranked universities have revealed themselves as the pioneer universities because they consistently generate significant research outputs in this field. Funds for research have been made from several national and international bodies which have worked as a backbone to the studies and helped in yielding the results. The results of this bibliometric analysis thus provide relevant information regarding the state of research literature on environmental attitudes and awareness. The said trends and patterns form a basis for future research agenda and the creation of better strategies for enhancing the appreciation and embrace of environmental issues. Thus, understanding the factors that determine environmental attitude and behavior can assist people and communities in making better choices for a sustainable environment.
