The study relied on the sample social survey method by designing a sample representative of the study community consisting of 300 students at the University of Khorfakkan. A scale was designed to measure students awareness of the environment. To design the scale, a guiding program was relied upon to determine measurement criteria in modifying students behavior towards the environment. This program is composed of reinforcement strategies for self-motivation, education, change and support of positive attitudes, participation, persuasion and knowledge building.
