This dissertation investigates the effectiveness of 360-degree Virtual Reality (VR) as an educational tool for improving acceptance of potable recycled water. As water scarcity intensifies globally, alternative water sources such as advanced purified recycled water have become critical. However, skepticism remains a barrier to widespread adoption. This research examines how immersive and non-immersive technologies influence attitudes, knowledge, trust, and behavioral intentions related to recycled water, aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)-specifically Goal 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) and Goal 13 (Climate Action).Chapter 1 introduces the global context of water scarcity, the promise of potable water reuse, and the need for innovative educational strategies to increase understanding. Chapter 2 presents a systematic literature review on the application of VR in environmental education and behavior change. The review finds that VR increases emotional engagement and environmental concern, yet few studies address its role in promoting acceptance of recycled water specifically.Chapter 3 evaluates the impact of a 360-degree VR video on participants' attitudes, trust in water treatment, and perceived knowledge. Results from a pre-test/post-test study show significant improvements across all variables, suggesting that immersive VR experiences can positively influence perceptions of recycled water.Chapter 4 compares the effects of immersive VR and traditional screen-based learning. Participants viewed the same 360-degree video either through a VR headset or on a laptop. Both groups showed significant gains in knowledge, trust, and willingness to use recycled water. The VR group reported stronger engagement and presence, while the laptop group demonstrated slightly greater improvements in emotional response and behavioral willingness. These findings indicate that although VR enhances immersion, traditional formats can yield comparable educational outcomes.Chapter 5 concludes by synthesizing findings across chapters, emphasizing that immersive learning enhances engagement but is not necessarily superior to conventional approaches in shifting attitudes. The chapter outlines practical implications for educators and policymakers, recommending hybrid learning models and further research on long-term behavioral change.This dissertation contributes to environmental communication and outreach by providing evidence-based insights into how immersive and non-immersive learning environments can be leveraged to improve acceptance of sustainable water solutions. It supports progress toward global sustainability by promoting water reuse literacy and informed decision-making consistent with SDGs 6 and 13.
