AbstrakBintara – Bekasi adalah salah satu wilayah dimana sampah menjadi sumber material bagi kelangsungan hidup keluarga yang tinggal di sekitar Bintara. Masyarakat yang tinggal di sana kurang lebih ada 200 KK. Lapak ini dikelola oleh 10 bos lapak, dengan status sewa tempat untuk menampung sampah. Setiap bos  membawahi 17 KK sampai 20 KK. Pekerjaan mereka adalah pemulung dan penarik sampah di rumah-rumah penduduk. Tipe penelitian adalah penelitian eksperimen, dikarenakan datanya belum pernah ada, dan harus diciptakan terlebih dahulu. Hasil penelitian ini, diharapkan akan berguna untuk mengembangkan inovasi-inovasi yang berguna dalam meningkatkan kualitas hidup masyarakat penghuni lapak sampah. Partisipan yang ikut  ada 14  keluarga yang semuanya berprofesi sebagai pemulung selama 5 tahun lebih di lapak sampah 1 Bintara. Alat ukur kuesioner 1 untuk mengukur sikap, niat dan keinginan untuk perubahan kualitas hidup, disusun dengan pendekatan Theory of Reasoned Action. Alat ukur kuesioner 2 untuk memprediksi tingkat pengetahuan, orientasi dan motivasi partisipan. Tema edukasi  bagian 1 yang diberikan terdapat empat modul, yaitu lubang resapan biopori, pembuatan kompos  dan MOL , ketrampilan tangan daur ulang,  dan penanaman bibit sayur dalam wadah bekas. Materi edukasi 2 disampaikan dalam bentuk skenario cerita yang meliputi: konsep lapak sampah hijau: bersama merawat lapak yang menjadi sumber ekonomi keluarga, bersama merawat lingkungan di sekitar lapak untuk kesehatan bersama, dan bersama merawat sikap saling menyapa, menghormati, mau mendengarkan, mau belajar untuk kemajuan diri, mau bekerjasama dan mau terbuka untuk kebaikan bersama,  konsep K3 (kesehatan dan keselamatan kerja) selama bekerja di lapak sampah dan  konsep pemilahan sampah organik dan nonorganik sejak dari rumah penduduk. Penerapan ini dapat dikatakan berhasil karena para peserta mau mengikuti proses edukasi dan  mau terlibat. Secara keseluruhan, sikap niat dan perilaku dari partisipan terhadap kegiatan edukasi tergolong dalam kategori sangat positif, walaupun terdapat penurunan nilai pada hasil pengukuran akhir. Penurunan nilai dipengaruhi oleh proses edukasi yang telah dilakukan, karena partisipan merasa sulit untuk mempraktekkannya dalam keseharian hidup, agak malas dan butuh tenaga lebih untuk mewujudkannya, kondisi udara serta lingkungan yang membuat partisipan cepat merasa lelah. Partisipan mempunyai latar belakang keluarga besar mereka adalah petani garapan di Karawang dan Indramayu, dimana hidup sebagai petani garapan adalah sangat jauh lebih sulit mendapat penghasilan yang layak. Mereka mengatakan bahwa menjadi pemulung dan tukang sampah lebih berhasil secara ekonomi untuk kehidupan mereka, sehingga mereka tidak terlalu menginginkan kembali mengeluti pekerjaan yang berhubungan dengan mengolah tanah dan tanaman.  AbstractBintara – Bekasi is one area where garbage becomes a source of living for people staying in that area. There are approximately 200 families living in Bintara traditional material recovery site.  This facility is managed by 10 bosses, who rent  land to collect trash. Each boss manages 17 -20 families. Their main jobs are scavengers and trash collectors in the neighbourhood area. The type of this research is experimental research, because there are no available data yet so that data have to be created first. The result of this research can be used to develop innovation  in order to increase the quality of life of the trash collectors community.Total participants are 14 families who have been working as scavengers for more than 5 years  in Bintara. The first questionnaires were developed to measure attitude, intention and behavior to have a changing quality of life, based on the theory of reasoned action. The second questionnaires were developed to predict the level of knowledge, orientation and motivation of participants. The first part of education theme consisted of four modules: biopore absorption hole, making compost and local microorganism , handicraft from recycled materials and planting vegetable seed in  used plastic container. The second education materials are delivered into several scenarios, including:  together nurturing the material recovery site as the economic source of families, together nurturing the surrounding environment for the health of community, together maintaining good attitude (greet and respect each other, willingness to listen, eagerness to learn, willingness to cooperate, and openess),  occupational safety and health as well as the concept of separating organic and inorganic waste at the source. The implementation of these modules was quite successful because the participants were willing to follow the education process and participate actively.   Overall,  the attitude, intention and behavior  of the participants on education process were strongly positive, although there were decreasing score on the final measurement.  The decreasing score was influenced by the education process that has been conducted before, because some participants were facing difficulties in implementing the education  materials in their daily lives, they were reluctant due to extra energy needed to implement it, and the hot environment  that makes them feel tired rapidly. The family  background of the  participants were farm workers in Karawang and Indramayu, where they thought  farm workers were more difiicult to make a living.  They considered that being scavengers and trash collectors gave them more economic benefit , so that they do not want to do any more work related to cultivate soils and planting crops. Keywords : participatory ergonomics, traditional material recovery site, educational experiment scavengers family, willingness to have a change in quality of life

As Korea's economic leeway has increased through rapid economic growth, the past simple consumption patterns for food, clothing, and shelter have changed from consumption patterns that invest for quality of life. This change in consumption has also affected the beauty industry, and competition in the beauty salon industry is getting fiercer day by day. Accordingly, it is judged that it is necessary to study the consumption propensity and behavior of customers visiting beauty salons in the current situation. Therefore, this study was conducted to find out whether consumption propensity affects consumption behavior by filling out a questionnaire targeting people in their 20s and 40s who have visited beauty salons. We want to provide the necessary basic data.

This article presents determinants of eating sweet and fat snacks between meals by adolescents (12–15 years). A preliminary qualitative study focused on eliciting students' interpretation of the self-rated terminology ‘low nutrient sweet and fat snacks’ and the development of a written questionnaire following the principles of the theory of reasoned action (Fishbein & Ajzen, 1980). In a quantitative study a questionnaire was administered to 560 students in the first and second grade of Dutch secondary education. In the data-analysis frequent and moderate users were compared. Frequent users had a more positive attitude towards the intake of sweet and fat snacks than moderate users. The intention to consume sweet snacks was more positive for frequent users. As opposed to frequent users, moderate users had a negative intention towards consuming fat snacks between meals. Moreover, moderate users experienced more social influence against the intake of both snacks than the frequent users. This study demonstrates the usefulness of the theory of reasoned action in relation to the self-rated consumption of sweet and fat snacks eaten between meals. In predicting intention to consume such snacks, attitude turned out to be more important than subjective norm. Finally, the correlation between actual eating behavior as reported by the students, and the behavioral intentions was relatively moderate which was probably caused by inconsistency between intention and behavior.

What is the impact of crime on the average individual in this country? What is the impact of the fear of crime on the quality of life in the United States? These questions are addressed in this article not from the point of view of an expert, or of an official in the criminal justice system, or of a victim of crime, but from that of an average person whose experience has included no direct encounter with crime of any kind. Those who have been victims of crime and those affected even indirectly by criminal behavior will react, naturally, with predictable concern; crime also has discernible effects on the attitudes and behavior of people generally, and this impact in turn has a corrosive effect on the quality of life in America.

Farm workers ( N = 52), ages 18 to 60 years ( M = 34.1, SD = 11.1), completed the Survey of Exposure to Community Violence, General Health Questionnaire-28, and the Quality of Life Inventory. Farm workers reported average Exposure to Violence, very low Quality of Life, and subaverage Health Status. No significant correlation was found between scores on Exposure to Violence and Quality of Life. Exposure to Violence was significantly correlated with poor Health Status in women but not in men. The implication of these results is discussed.
