Abstract
This study was conducted in the Isparta region; it aims to determine water use of people on the basis of families and individuals, quantities of water consumption, their attitudes and behaviours towards water saving methods and factors influencing them and their behaviours and attitudes towards water consumption. In the context of this study, a questionnaire was conducted with 400 individuals according to different ages, neighbourhoods and occupational groups on the voluntarily basis in 2016. The first chapter of the questionnaire included questions about demographics and socio-economic conditions of individuals and the second one checked whether they know about water consumption, water saving and the importance of water. Collected data were analysed through Chi-Square analysis and education levels the study attempted to identify income status and differences in water consumption according to occupational and age groups. As a result of the study, it was found out that 76,3% of individuals use water saving methods. 73% of individuals believe that water saving does not decrease quality of life. It is observed that increase in education and income levels cause individuals to pay more attention to water problems. Chi-Square test did not demonstrate statistically significant difference between water consumption quantity of individuals and gender groups; whereas statistically significant difference (p<0.001) was identified according to age and occupational groups. The analysis of behaviours and attitudes of families concerning water consumption is important in order to increase efficiency and maintenance of water consumption. For this reason, several suggestions were assessed in the context of this study.
