Abstract
ABSTRACT The study aimed to statistically analyze forest fire perceptions and cognitive deficits of children through drawings. Results showed that children's perceptions on forest fire were under desirable levels. Also, perception levels were significantly impacted by gender and grade level, whereas impact of school type was not significant. Since children's imaginations are found to be limited and most of forest fires are known to arise from human-induced activities, applied approaches are suggested to enlarge their vision on nature and forest fire with the purpose of raising more responsible, aware, and environmentally-conscious children, as a contributor to prevention of future forest fires.
