The importance of legislation and knowledge in the protection of consumers and establishment of a competitive market has been increasing more and more. For an individual or society to be aware of use his/her rights is as important as to be given those. The aim the present study is to determine the level of awareness of the consumers about the government legislations, consumer originated production and sale politicies of companies, and the efforts of the consumer societies to protect the consumers. For this purpose a survey study was carried out and the data was analyzed. Our results indicate that most of the consumers are aware of the consumers oriented production and sale policies of government and companies and the efforts of the consumer societies (associations); however, the level of the awareness was not enough.
