Abstract :
One of the fundamental tools to guarantee compliance with environmental laws is the sanctions, which act as deterrent mechanisms against possible violations. The present study focused on evaluating public perceptions towards environmental policies and sanctions, applying a methodology that integrates neutrosophy and indeterminate Likert scales to capture the complexity of human opinions on environmental legislation. By distributing a structured questionnaire to a representative sample, data was collected and subsequently analyzed using neutrosophic logic and cluster analysis techniques. The results underlined the importance of considering indeterminacy and uncertainty in the study of public perceptions towards environmental sanctions, providing valuable data for the improvement of environmental policies and communication in this area. This study demonstrates the relevance of addressing human attitudes and behaviors toward environmental challenges inclusively and effectively.
