Abstract

Introduction: Motor vehicles are known as an important artificial source of Air pollution, where personal cars account for 90% of total consumed energy in transportation system. Human factors have a critical role in car-caused Air pollution. Therefore, the present study was conducted to evaluate Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) of Drivers towards reduction of Fuel Consumption and control of car-caused Air pollution in Yazd. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive-analytic study was conducted on Drivers in Yazd city. Data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire including demographic variables, Drivers' Knowledge, Attitude and Practice. A simple random sampling was used and 250 questionnaires were completed. The data were analyzed using SPSS statistical software. Results: According to obtained results, the Drivers' Knowledge, Attitude and Practice significantly increase as age increases (P<0. 05). The average score of the KAP towards reduction of Fuel Consumption and control of car-caused Air pollution was higher in men compared to women. The Knowledge of Drivers with less than 2 years driving experience was significantly less than others and the Attitude score of Drivers with more than 5 years driving experience was significantly higher. The score of Knowledge of 186 Drivers (74. 4%) was average, and 161 (64. 4%) had an average score of Practice towards reduction of Fuel Consumption and control of car-caused Air pollution. There was a statistically positive correlation between the Drivers' KAP. Conclusion: Regarding the results of the present study, the Drivers' Knowledge, Attitude and Practice towards ways of reducing Fuel Consumption and control of car-caused Air pollution was found to be average, hence further education is required.
