The purpose of this study was to investigate the regional differences in students' awareness, perception, optimism and responsibility development toward environment. The data used for the study was obtained from the one produced by the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2006 and comprised of the Turkish sample of 4942 fifteen year-old-students (2290 girls and 2652 boys) attending 160 schools across 78 provinces and 7 geographical regions. The data were statistically analyzed by using frequency distributions and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). Results indicated that there is a significant effect of geographical regional differences, although small in magnitude, on students' responsibility towards natural resources and environment.
