Abstract: The paper is offering an assessment of the citizens' attitude towards the environment of living, it is examining peoples' considerate behaviour within the environment and whether people are willing to do something in favour of the environment, and how far they are interested in the information as concerns the environment. A detailed analysis is looking into the opinion as concerns activities of some of the institutions in connection with environment problems, ecological responsibility of the population, of the organisations and the State. The research is covering topical social and economic problems perception by the public, too, both in domestic and international milieu. The paper analyzes results of the questionnaire survey done on a random sample of people in the Karlovarský Region residential area in 2012. Data obtained have been assessed statistically using qualitative analysis methods. Included in the questionnaire have been questions concerning the citizens' opinion about European integration and about globalisation in the sense of environment. The survey conclusions demonstrate current citizens' attitude towards levels and importance of the environment in everyday life.
