초록
Wetlands are valuable ecosystems that provides habitat for various organisms and functions of water purification by filtering pollutions from uplands. However, historically wetlands have been frequently considered unproductive lands. The perception of a population can determine human's actions on wetlands. Therefore, public conceptions of wetlands is important to conserve the valuable ecosystems and teaching the value of wetlands to students would be critical for protecting them. The purpose of this study is to identify the conceptions of undergraduate students on wetland ecosystems and their attitudes toward their conservation and education on them. The results from a questionnaire survey revealed that most of the students from the sample tend to associate wetlands with quagmires or marshes in tropical jungle without knowledge on the value of wetland ecosystems and chances of learning the ecosystems through their school days. Their awareness about wetlands can depend primarily on the information from mass media like TV. Although most of the students showed a positive opinion on the advantages of protecting wetlands, they were negative about the current status of wetland conservation and education on wetland ecosystems in our country. Our results suggest that wetland education for school students could be the key points for giving correct knowledge and perception of wetland ecosystems to the public.
Abstract
Wetlands are valuable ecosystems that provides habitat for various organisms and functions of water purification by filtering pollutions from uplands. However, historically wetlands have been frequently considered unproductive lands. The perception of a population can determine human's actions on wetlands. Therefore, public conceptions of wetlands is important to conserve the valuable ecosystems and teaching the value of wetlands to students would be critical for protecting them. The purpose of this study is to identify the conceptions of undergraduate students on wetland ecosystems and their attitudes toward their conservation and education on them. The results from a questionnaire survey revealed that most of the students from the sample tend to associate wetlands with quagmires or marshes in tropical jungle without knowledge on the value of wetland ecosystems and chances of learning the ecosystems through their school days. Their awareness about wetlands can depend primarily on the information from mass media like TV. Although most of the students showed a positive opinion on the advantages of protecting wetlands, they were negative about the current status of wetland conservation and education on wetland ecosystems in our country. Our results suggest that wetland education for school students could be the key points for giving correct knowledge and perception of wetland ecosystems to the public.
