Since water is an indispensable part of humanity, human communities settle near water sources, and one of the most popular water sources is a river. In the past millennial, around 80% of Javanese communities were located near rivers. However, traditional views, attitudes, and behavior during the development and urbanization era and lack of political will have compromised sustainable uses of rivers choked with pollution from industrial and neighborhood wastes. This paper will discuss the stories of pollution and waste management that have led to Indonesia being one of the most polluted nations by looking at traditional socio-cultural views of waste and rivers and efforts to deal with the problems of garbage. This study is mainly based on various data from previous research, NGO and government programs, and interviews with local community members and leaders. In addition to the challenges of garbage disposal and cleaning up Indonesian rivers, this study will conclude with suggestions on how to change people’s attitudes and behavior and government programs to create long-term sustainable and participative waste management efforts in Indonesia.

AbstractThe flood disaster that struck the Province of South Sulawesi (South Sulawesi) at the end of January 2019, was the worst natural disaster in the past 20 (twenty) years. Of the 24 (twenty four) districts and cities in South Sulawesi, there are 6 (six) districts and cities experiencing very poor conditions, namely the Regencies of Jeneponto, Maros, Gowa, Takalar, Barru and Makassar. As a result of this disaster, tens of thousands of families lost their homes, property was destroyed, social facilities such as schools and houses of worship were also severely damaged and some were destroyed. Even more pathetic, because more than a hundred people died. This results from an imbalance of ecosystems causing serious problems. Community understanding of the need to maintain ecosystem balance is still very low coupled with the socioeconomic situation which makes the community more pragmatic. The problem is, how do you increase the awareness of the community in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem? And how to foster disaster-conscious attitudes and behavior for the community, especially in disaster-prone areas? Therefore, the writing of this article aims to comprehensively examine people's attitudes related to maintaining ecosystem balance and fostering disaster-conscious behavior in the community, especially in disaster-prone areas as an alternative to disaster risk management. The method used is qualitative with the type of case study studies. The selection of informants is done purposively and the data processed are primary and secondary. From the results of this study it was found, the increasingly severe environmental damage became the main trigger of natural disasters that occurred in South Sulawesi at the end of January 2019. This environmental damage, is dominant because of the very exploitative behavior of the community towards the environment. For example, what happened in Gowa district, the big floods that occurred because around the Jeneberang River and Bili-Bili Dam areas - sand mining activities have been going on for decades. Likewise, the Mount Bawakaraeng area, which used to function as a buffer against flooding, has long been deforested as a result of causing landslides whenever there is heavy rain. This condition also occurs in the districts of Jeneponto, Maros and others - these areas are vulnerable to heavy rainfall. To overcome this serious problem, one alternative is to form community groups that are aware of disasters. This strategy of forming disaster awareness groups, by combining approaches from above (government) and from below (the community)   Musibah banjir yang melanda Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan (Sulsel) di akhir Januari 2019, merupakan bencana alam yang terparah selama kurun waktu 20 (dua puluh) tahun terakhir ini. Dari 24 (dua puluh empat) kabupaten dan kota di Sulsel, ada 6 (enam) kabupaten dan kota mengalami kondisi sangat memprihatinkan yaitu Kabupaten Jeneponto, Maros, Gowa, Takalar, Barru dan Makassar. Akibat dari bencana ini, puluhan ribu keluarga kehilangan tempat tinggal, harta benda musnah, fasilitas sosial seperti sekolah dan rumah ibadah juga rusak berat dan ada yang hancur. Lebih mengenaskan, karena menimbulkan korban jiwa meninggal dunia lebih dari seratus orang. Hal ini akibat dari ketidakseimbangan ekosistem menyebabkan masalah yang serius. Pemahaman masyarakat tentang perlunya menjaga keseimbangan ekosistem, masih sangat rendah ditambah lagi dengan situasi sosial ekonomi yang membuat masyarakat makin pragmatis. Masalahnya, bagaimana cara meningkatkan kepedulian warga masyarakat dalam menjaga keseimbangan ekosistem? Dan bagaimana menumbuhkan sikap dan perilaku sadar bencana bagi masyarakat khususnya di kawasan yang rawan bencana? Karena itu, penulisan artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji secara komprehensif sikap masyarakat terkait dengan kepedulian menjaga keseimbangan ekosistem dan menumbuhkan perilaku sadar bencana di masyarakat khususnya di daerah-daerah yang rawan bencana sebagai alternatif manajemen risiko bencana. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan jenis kajian studi kasus. Pemilihan informan dilakukan secara purposif dan data yang diolah adalah primer dan sekunder. Dari hasil penelitian ini ditemukan , makin parahnya kerusakan lingkungan menjadi pemicu utama dari bencana alam yang terjadi di Sulsel akhir Januari 2019.. Kerusakan lingkungan ini, dominan karena perilaku masyarakat yang sangat eksploitatif terhadap lingkungan. Misalnya saja yang terjadi di kabupaten Gowa, banjir besar yang terjadi karena di sekitar kawasan Sungai Jeneberang dan Dam Bili-Bili – kegiatan penambangan pasir sudah berlangsung puluhan tahun lamanya. Begitu juga kawasan Gunung Bawakaraeng yang tadinya berfungsi sebagai penyangga banjir, karena sudah lama digunduli akibatnya menimbulkan longsor setiap ada hujan deras. Kondisi ini juga terjadi di Kabupaten Jeneponto, Maros dan lainnya – daerah-daerah ini rentan terhadap curah hujan yang besar. Untuk mengatasi masalah serius ini, maka salah satu alternatifnya dengan membentuk kelompok-kelompok masyarakat yang sadar bencana. Strategi pembentukan kelompok sadar bencana ini, dengan memadukan pendekatan dari atas (pemerintah) dan dari bawah (masyarakat)

The purpose of this study is to determine the tourism feasibilty of West Lombok for the development of social capital based ecotourism, which include: the development of tourism; identification of possible conflicts; Stakeholders’ perspective on ecotourism; the involvement of local community; identification of market segments; and relevant social capital of West Lombok for the development of ecotourism. Feasibility studies conducted through surveys in Sekotong District involving all tourism stakeholders who were selected purposily. Data were collected using guided interview, focus group discussions, observation, and documents review. The data were then analyzed qualitatively. The results showed that tourism in Sekotong District is not well developed due to unclear government programs. This is also caused by the lack of synergy between government and the community or local residents. Additionally, there has not been any positive response of tourists regarding the tourism atmosphere in the region, due to the safety factor, the environment, and attitudes and behavior of some people towards Travelers. Economic impact of tourism on the local community is still limited due to the fact that they are not fully involved in tourism development. The result of FGD emphasizes on the importance of paying attention on principles of sustainable development, such as social capital-based development by involving local communities.

This introductory essay outlines the key themes of the special issue on the long-term impact of autocracies on the political attitudes and behavior of their subjects. Here, we highlight several important areas of theoretical and empirical refinements, which can provide a more nuanced picture of the process through which authoritarian attitudinal legacies emerge and persist. First, we define the nature of attitudinal legacies and their driving mechanisms, developing a framework of competing socialization. Second, we use the competing socialization framework to explain two potential sources of heterogeneity in attitudinal and behavioral legacies: varieties of institutional features of authoritarian regimes, which affect the nature of regime socialization efforts; and variations across different subgroups of (post-)authoritarian citizens, which reflect the nature and strength of alternative socialization efforts. This new framework can help us to better understand contradictory findings in this emerging literature as well as set a new agenda for future research.

Environmental degradation is a major challenge which requires appropriate strategies to reverse the situation. One of such strategies is experiential environmental education among high school students who, through change of attitudes and behavior, are able to participate in various environmental management activities. In this study the pro-environmental attitudes and behavior of high school students in Murang’a County, Kenya were examined to assess how environmental education programmes among the students affected environmental issues of waste management, water resources management, natural resources management and climate change in the schools. Nine hundred and sixty-one (961) students from nineteen (19) high schools from two sub-counties in the County was used in the study. The Likert type questionnaire and the 2-MEV Scale were used to collect the required data. The t-test statistic was applied to determine any differences between the variables. Results showed significant differences in pro-environmental attitudes and behavior with regard to solid waste management, water resources management, natural resources management. There were significant differences with regard to solid waste management, natural resources management, climate change and environmental concerns between members of Environmental Clubs and non-members. Pro-environmental attitudes and behavior were influenced by current membership of the Clubs rather than past membership. It is concluded that experiential environmental programmes improve the student’s pro-environmental attitudes and behavior hence environmental management within the schools. It is recommended that appropriate policies be formulated to enhance the implementation of school experiential environmental programmes to ensure capacity building of the learners to effectively manage environmental issues in the schools.

Studying of the Qur'an continuously, integrated and comprehensively becomes a necessity if we want to practice the teachings of Islam �kaffah�. At least, this is the basis of dakwah implemented by the Chinese Muslim community in Makassar. One indicator of being �kaffah� in embracing Islam is always showing moderate religious attitudes in all aspects of life, both individual and collective, at the level of faith, worship, muamalah, and morals. In understanding and practicing the teachings of Islam, the Chinese Muslim community in Makassar reflects religious moderation; therefore, their presence did not cause conflict in Makassar locally, but a blessing for the local community. Their Chinese identity is maintained by reconstructing the religious value of their traditions and culture. In this community, the belief of Islamic theology is not religiously indicated as elements of syncretism. As a result, their Chinese identity survives copes with their Islamic belief. Ultimately, moderate of Islamic teachings, as a religion of �rahmatan lil al alamiin�, is then reflected in their daily lives, including in their religious attitudes and behavior.

AbstractSchizophrenia is a mental illness that has a long-term impact. One of the symptoms of schizophrenia is hallucinations. Hallucinations are perceptual disturbances in which the client perceives something that does not exist. One of the things that families do is help family members by playing a role in assisting the clients in controlling hallucinations. The study aimed to determine the role of the family in reducing the hallucination symptoms of schizophrenic patients based on the available evidence. The literature review used Scopus, Science Direct, and GARUDA databases. Articles are selected based on the suitability of keywords, topics, as well as inclusion and exclusion criteria. The appraisal instrument by Hawker was used to select high-quality evidence. The findings of this study highlighted three levels of family roles in reducing symptoms of hallucinations in schizophrenic patients. The first level, the family must be able to see the patient's needs and maintain parental closeness. The second level, the family must be able to provide financial support for patient care, the family should be involved in groups that provide support as well. The third levels, all families must develop a good relationship to help patients with hallucinations to change their attitudes and behavior. Family roles are essential in reducing symptoms of hallucination in schizophrenic patients. This evidence can be used as scientific references to be applied as nursing care interventions.Keywords: Family Roles, Hallucinations, Schizophrenia AbstrakSkizofrenia merupakan penyakit kejiwaan yang memiliki dampak jangka panjang.

The purpose of the implementation of this KKN is to empower, foster, and increase the capacity of the local community. The method of implementing the KKN program begins by observing the condition of the community using SOAR analysis which then produces several programs including: (1) Seminar Al-Qur’an; (2) Tahfiz Harian; (3) Pengajaran Al-Qur’an Metode Dirosa; (4) Taklim Fikih Muslimah, dan (5) Poster Dakwah. All these programs are running well and smoothly, this is characterized by the continued program of coaching and teaching of the Qur'an even though the KKN has ended. As a result, there appears to be a change in the attitudes and behavior of more religious people, and the ability to read the Qur'an is getting better.
