摘要：Nongovernmental organizations can be defined as those organizations which employ information consciously and have higher levels of confidence.

The data obtained were examined using descriptive analysis and are complemented by direct quotations from the views of the participants. The findings indicated that only 19,86% of the participants were the members of the NGOs and that some of them were planning to join NGOs (43,38%).
