Therefore, increasing public environmental awareness can reduce environmental issues and problems and lead to responsible behavior towards the environment. The present study aims to investigate the social factors affecting awareness of environmental hazards and environmental citizenship duties. From a qualitative perspective, it is based on content analysis, from a quantitative perspective, it is a descriptive survey. In today's world, environmental crises have become one of the most serious challenges facing humanity. Climate change, global warming, air and water pollution, forest destruction, biodiversity loss, and the waste crisis are just some of the issues that threaten the lives of humans and other living beings. These challenges have not only crossed geographical boundaries, but have also affected the social, economic and cultural dimensions of societies. In the meantime, the role of citizens as the main actors in interacting with the environment has received more attention than ever before. Awareness of environmental risks and commitment to environmentally friendly behaviors are two essential components that can lead to changes in people’s attitudes and behaviors towards the environment and ultimately help reduce the negative consequences of human activities.
