| Sumario: | This research was oriented to know and compare the commitment; ecological behaviour and their factors in university students from two public universities in Lima and Huaraz; the latter affected in one of its most important hydric resources (Pastoruri snow-capped mountain). The design of the research project is descriptive-comparative; the sample was represented by 854 students; 315 are from a public university in Lima and 539 are from a public university in Huaraz; 339 are men and 515 are women; the collection instruments to collect data are the value questionnaire of ecological commitment; based on the EAKS scale adapted by Martinez; F. (2005) and the ecological behaviour scale (ECE); based on Karp’s environmental behaviour scale and adapted in Brazil by Pato; 2004; Linguistic adaptation and psychometric analysis of both instruments were realized; in both cases; the same factors remained intact; what varied was the total number of items and the writing of others without affecting content; the results establish meaningful differences in all the factors of ecological commitment in the students from Lima and Huaraz; regarding sex; we found meaningful differences only in the factor of affective and ecological real commitment; taking into consideration the ideological autodefinition; we did not find any differences in the factors. Regarding the ecological behaviour in the comparison of the universities of both cities; we found meaningful differences in activism; energy saving and recycling; regarding sex; we found differences in the factors of water and energy saving and recycling; and regarding the ideological autodefinition; we found meaningful differences in the factor of activism; energy saving and recycling. |
