Assessing Environmental Awareness Among Taunggyi University Students ( Thin Myint Myat Aung, 2024) Thin Myint Myat Aung This study evaluates the environmental awareness of students at Taunggyi University, focusing on their knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, responsibility, connection to nature and policy awareness. Understanding these aspects is crucial for developing effective environmental education and sustainability initiatives, especially in addressing issues such as deforestation, marine resource depletion, and air pollution in Myanmar. A quantitative survey is conducted among 385 students during the 2023 2024 academic year, and descriptive method is applied to evaluate the data. The findings indicate that students possess a good understanding of ecosystems, biodiversity, and human impacts on the environment. Their attitudes towards environmental conservation are positive, and their eco-friendly behaviors, such as recycling and reducing plastic use, are moderate. Although students feel a strong sense of responsibility towards environmental issues, their connection to nature is moderate, and their policy awareness is fair. Enhancing policy awareness through educational modules, experiential learning, and community engagement can empower students to participate more effectively in environmental management. By implementing these strategies, Taunggyi University can cultivate a more environmentally conscious and proactive student body dedicated to sustainable development and conservation efforts. 2024-07-01 https://meral.edu.mm/records/9855
