The recording of attitudes and views gave positive results. Reliability Analysis was used to study the properties of measurement scales and the items that compose the scales and provide information about the relationships between individual items in the scale. Factor Analysis was used to identity underlying variables or factors that explain the multidimensional variable causes of forest fires in the Prefecture of Drama and also to reduce the data identifying a small number of factors that explain most of the variance that is observed in a much larger number of manifest variables.
