Abstract: One of the most significant ways of achieving sustainable development is the efficient and active use of resources. Two of these resources, energy and water are highly crucial in terms of consumption amount. The most significant consumer group that has a role in the consumption of these resources is the family. This study was carried out in order to analyze married men’s domestic habitual and purchase related energy and water conservation behaviours. The research sample comprised 176 married men. Chi-square was used in data analysis. In conclusion, it was determined that although men’s behaviours related to energy and water conservation did not differ statistically in terms of educational level, the conservation-related behaviours tended to be more positive with increase in educational level. Also conservation-related behaviours tended to be more negative with increase in age and the younger and older men had fewer water conservation habits when compared to middle-aged men.
