HUBUNGAN SIKAP DAN SARANA DENGAN PERILAKU PENGELOLAAN SAMPAH BERBASIS 3R

Abstract

Waste management remains one of the environmental problems that continues to receive attention in Indonesia, especially in residential areas. Several factors, including attitudes and facilities, influence community behavior in managing waste. This study aimed to determine the relationship between attitudes and facilities with 3R-based waste management behavior in Talang Betutu Residence, Palembang. This study used a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study consisted of all heads of households and housewives in Talang Betutu Residence, Palembang, with a total sample of 40 respondents selected using total sampling, based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data analysis was conducted using univariate and bivariate analyses with the Chi-Square test. The results showed a significant relationship between attitudes and waste management behavior (p-value = 0.048; OR = 2.429), and between facilities and 3R-based waste management behavior (p-value = 0.003; OR = 7.071). This study concludes that attitudes and facilities have a significant relationship with household 3R-based waste management behavior. Therefore, efforts are needed to improve public education and awareness, as well as provide adequate facilities to encourage better waste management behavior.
