“…This study has argued that environmental activism in Rojhelat is a nascent trend, with its origins in the late 1980s. The movement's underlying motivations are the protection of Rojhelat's natural environment from the Iranian state's destructive military, economic and developmental activities; spreading popular consciousness of environmental concerns; and promoting principles of direct democracy, gender equality and ecological well-being in a needs-based economy (Hunt 2019). Kurdish environmental activist groups from different parts of Kurdistan, despite differences in their specific histories and practices, share fundamental values such as viewing the environmental and ecological struggle as part of the liberation of all humanity (Hunt 2019, 3), campaigning for direct democracy in the states where they live, and viewing humans as a part of nature rather than its owner.…”

Similarly to other places around the globe, Kurdistan has its environmental challenges, some of which are climate change-related and others of which are more local and specific. Nevertheless, in both cases, Kurdish environmental activists, organised in environmental NGOs, are the protectors of Kurdistan's natural environment. The study focuses on the emergence and objectives of environmental activism in Rojhelat/Eastern Kurdistan, arguing that the growth of environmental activism as NGOs is a nascent trend in Rojhelat, and requires an indepth study of its various aspects. The research aims to conceptualise the Kurdish environmental movement and investigate the socio-political and environmental context in Rojhelat. This study is inspired by the concept of "subaltern environmentalism", articulating environmental activism as a platform deployed by marginalised communities in their response to intentional environmental discrimination by political and economic elites. Specific focus is placed on the NGO Chya Green Association, and its evolution, activity and discourse.

“…Therefore, the design of the questionnaire on the influencing factors of adolescent physical exercise behavior is based on these five aspects, and related literature materials are searched, the theory is summarized and refined, and the "Questionnaire on the influencing factors of adolescent physical exercise behavior" is designed based on theoretical analysis and interview results. 1 After the questionnaire was compiled, the initial test questionnaire was formed. After the second round of data screening, the experiment summarized the statistical data and obtained the Cronbach's coefficient α coefficient and the standardized α coefficient of each subscale of the questionnaire (Table 1).…”

Background: The generation of individual behavior is closely related to the environment in which it is located and is easily affected by environmental factors. Objective: The thesis takes the social ecology model theory as the starting point, applies the five different levels of influencing factors in the theoretical model to the field of youth physical exercise behavior, and seeks the interrelationship between the various influencing factors. Methods: Using questionnaire surveys, interviews, and other research methods, the paper makes a simple theoretical combing and analysis of the healthy behavior ecology model, seeks the interrelationship between the influencing factors, propose complementary intervention strategies, and promote the development of adolescents’ physical exercise habits through effective ways. Results: The motivation of sports participation, the protection of physical health, family health awareness, economic and educational environment, professional quality of physical education teachers and school exercise environment and community facilities affect the direction of the development of adolescents’ physical exercise behavior. Conclusions: Only by comprehensively considering the relationship between various related factors can we better understand adolescent physical exercise development characteristics, propose complementary intervention strategies, and promote physical exercise habits effectively. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment results.

“…If the opposite is true, participation in physical exercise will decrease. 9 The data shows that individuals with low social support have a 25% higher chance of insufficient physical exercise participation than individuals with high social support. "Because my parents believe that physical exercise can bring me a lot of benefits. "…”

Introduction: Physical exercise has a positive effect on the health of individuals. Long-term sedentary behavior can induce coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and other chronic diseases. Lack of physical exercise has become the fourth leading cause of death worldwide. Therefore, youth sports are very important for physical health. Objective: To systematically reveal the influencing factors of adolescents’ physical exercise and improve the effectiveness of interventions on adolescents’ physical exercise behaviors, this article is based on social ecology theory to study the structural model of adolescents’ physical exercise factors. Methods: The thesis considers factors affecting adolescent physical exercise as the research object and uses literature method, questionnaire survey, mathematical statistics, etc., to construct a structural model of factors affecting youth physical exercise, including four primary indicators and 19 secondary indicators. Results: Adolescent physical exercise is affected by the school, family, social and personal factors. Among them, family factors have the greatest impact on young people's physical exercise. Personal factors rank second, school factors, and social factors rank third. Among the family factors, the major influences on youth physical exercise are “parental support,” “parents’ cognition of physical exercise,” and “parental exercise habits.” Conclusions: The influencing factors of adolescent physical exercise involve four aspects: family, society, school, and self. Family factors have the greatest impact on adolescent physical exercise, and personal factors are the second, school factors, and social factors are the third. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment results.
