چکیده

سابقه و هدف:
در برنامه های توسعه اجتماعی، اقتصادی و فرهنگی جمهوری اسلامی ا یران همواره بر منطقی کردن مصرف انرژی ازجمله مصرف آب تأکید شده است. طرح دانش آموزی نجات- معروف به طرح داناب- از سوی آموزش و پرورش و با مشارکت سازمان آب منطقه ایاستان مازندران با هدف ارتقاء دانش آب و نیز مصرف بهینه آب توسط دانش آموزان به اجرا درآمده است. از بین گروه های مختلف اجتماعی،دانش آموزان نقش مهمی در زمینه مصرف آب ایفاء می کنند. با توجه به نقش عوامل اجتماعی و فرهنگی در شکل دهی رفتار دانش آموزان،تحقق حاضر تلاش نمود تا ضمن بررسی وضعیت دانش آب در بین دانش آموزان، به مطالعه و بررسی عوامل اجتماعی- فرهنگی مؤثر بر پیش بینی رفتار مصرف آب آنان نیز بپردازد.
مواد و روش ها:
 از نظر روش‌شناسی، تحقیق حاضر با استفاده از روش پیمایش در میان دانش آموزان دوره‌ متوسطه اول در مناطق شهری بهشهر، نکا، ساری، بهشهر، گلوگاه، آمل و قائم‌شهر در استان مازندران انجام شد. برای انتخاب نمونه‌ها از روش نمونه‌گیری احتمالی  استفاده شد و بر اساس فرمول کوکران، تعداد 501 دانش آموز  به عنوان نمونه مورد بررسی قرار  گرفتند. داده‌های حاصل از تحقیق با استفاده از نرم افزار آماری ویژه علم اجتماعی مورد توصیف و تجزیه‌و تحلیل قرار گرفت.
نتایج و بحث:
 نتایج حاصل از داده‌های تحقیق حاضر نشان دادند که فرض رابطه بین عوامل فرهنگی (دانش محیط زیستی، ارزش محیط زیستی، نگرش نسبت به منابع آب، باورهای دینی) و پیش بینی رفتار مصرف آب دانش آموزان مورد تایید تجربی قرارگرفته است و تنها رابطه دانش محیط زیستی با پیش بینی رفتار مصرف آب تایید نشده است. همچنین، نتایج تحقیق نشان داد که فرض رابطه بین عوامل اجتماعی (مشارکت مدنی) و پیش بینی رفتار مصرف آب دانش آموزان مورد تایید تجربی قرارگرفته است. فرض رابطه بین عوامل نهادی (کنترل رسمی، کنترل غیررسمی) و پیش بینی رفتار مصرف آب دانش آموزان نیز در تحقیق حاضر مورد تایید تجربی قرارگرفته است. نهادها، شیوه‌های اساسی فعالیت اجتماعی هستند که اکثریت اعضای یک جامعه معین از آن‌ها پیروی می‌کنند درواقع شامل هنجارها و ارزش‌هایی هستند که تعداد بسیاری از مردم با آنها همنوایی می‌کنند. آنها شیوه‌های رفتاری هستند که به‌وسیله ضمانت اجرایی نیرومند حمایت می‌شوند و در طول زمان شکل ثابت و پایداری را نیز به همراه دارند. بر این اساس، می‌توان اذعان نمود که متغیرهای نهادی (کنترل رسمی، کنترل غیررسمی) بر پیش بینی رفتار مصرف آب در بین دانش آموزان مؤثر است. در ارتباط با فرضیه تحقیق مبنی بر وجود رابطه بین متغیرهای زمینه‌ای (پایگاه اقتصادی- اجتماعی، سن) و پیش بینی رفتار مصرف آب دانش آموزان، نتایج حاصل از داده‌های این تحقیق رابطه بین متغیرهای زمینه‌ای (پایگاه اقتصادی- اجتماعی) و پیش بینی رفتار مصرف آب دانش آموزان را تایید می‌نماید، اما رابطه سن و پیش بینی رفتار مصرف آب دانش آموزان را مورد تایید تجربی قرار نگرفت.
نتیجه گیری: 
بر اساس یافته های تحقیق حاضر می توان نتیجه گرفت که متغیرهای مستقل باورهای دینی مصرف آب، کنترل غیررسمی، نگرش نسبت به محدودیت آب، ارزش محیط زیستی، کنترل رسمی، مشارکت مدنی و پایگاه اجتماعی با متغیر وابسته رفتار مصرف آب رابطه‌ معنی‌دار داشته‌اند. همچنین متغیر مستقل باورهای دینی مصرف آب، بیشترین همبستگی را با متغیر وابسته رفتار مصرف آب دارد.
