Özet:

Nature is a system that exists with the living and unviolent beings which it houses, and for the continuity of life all beings must maintain this system in balance. In early childhood, the child’s sensitivity to nature, interest and sensational orientations can be observed. Despite the hypothesis that sensitivity to nature (biophilia) comes from nature, it is also stated that it can differ by the influence of life experiences, culture, environmental factors, etc. Today, children spend more time away from nature in the interior. This situation changes their attitudes to nature while weakening their life skills. The misunderstanding of nature by adults causes children to be misinformed and awarenessful about nature. Early childhood is critical in the introduction by individuals of the concept of proximity to the environment, also expressed as biophilia. From the child’s curiosity to nature, a good learning environment can be created. Thus, the child's cognitive development will be supported by the natural learning environments offered to the child and the proximity to nature will be increased. During this period, the sensual experiences provided directly to children within the framework of a qualified environmental education will enable them to develop positive behavior to the environment in their future lives. Today there is an increase in evidence that there is a relationship between children’s daily nature experiences and their parents’ attitudes to nature. In the pre-school period, children will be able to make a positive start to nature with their experiences and experiences. Children's proximity to nature is an important study of how the relationship between their parents' proximity to nature is and what can be done to make this relationship positive. The aim of this study is to determine the levels of biophilia (approximation to nature) of children and their parents who continue to be maternal, and to investigate whether their biophilia levels, age, place of settlement, type of housing, and time variables spent in the natural areas, vary or not. The sample of the study consists of 100 children and their parents who continue to their official and private maternities in the Mardin province and districts. The Personal Information Form created by the researcher as a data collection tool in the study was used for adults with the "Biophilic Scale for Children" and the "Nature Addiction Scale". The "Biophilic Scale for Children" developed by Rice and Torquati to determine the levels of biophilia of children, adapted to the Turkish language, consisting of 22 articles; the "Natural Addiction Scale" developed by Nisbet, Zelenski and Murphy and adapted to the Turkish language, was used to determine the levels of biophilia of parents. Age, place of residence, time spent in natural areas, etc. To collect information about the variables, the parent and child’s information form was used. The research has been used in the research process. In the process of data collection, children were applied "Biophilic Scale for Children" and their parents were applied "Natural Addiction Scale". Personal information forms will be transmitted and filled with the parents through the teachers. The data of the study will be evaluated using appropriate analysis methods.
