The Impact

The waste problem in Indonesia is a problem that has not been resolved until now. Garbage is very dangerous for human health and the environment. The impact if the waste is not managed properly is that it can become a source of disease and the environment becomes dirty. Based on World Bank data, the amount of solid waste in the world will continue to increase by 70% from 2018 to 2025, from 1,3 billion tons/year to 2,2 billion tons/year. The majority of the increase occurred in developing countries. In Indonesia, World Bank data shows that the national solid waste production reaches 151,921 tons/day. According to data from the National Waste Management Information System for 2017-2018, the amount of waste in Banjar Regency, South Kalimantan Province that was piled up in the TPA was 113,90 tons/day and the amount of unmanaged waste was 45,16 tons/day. Interventions are needed to improve the knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of the community regarding good waste management. Aim: To determine the effectiveness of health education on the knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of the community regarding waste management in Pejambuan Village. Method: This research is quantitative research with an approach cross-sectional. The number of samples is 30 people. The analytical technique used in this research is the Wilcoxon test. Result: The results of the Wilcoxon statistical test on knowledge obtained p-value (0,000), on attitude obtained p-value (0,000), and on behavior obtained p-value (0,000). Conclusion: There is a difference between the knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of the community before and after the waste management counseling activity.

Solid Waste Treatment

The purpose of this study assessed the effect of solid waste treatment practices, especially municipal solid waste towards sustainable development in the Mekong Delta region, southern Vietnam. This study also proposes to use the Life Cycle Assessment method with waste material flow, which will provide a calculation and estimation method based on the database of the assessment factors and normalization references for aspects, such as greenhouse gas emission/reduction, energy generation/consumption, economic benefit, investment and operating cost, and land use burden. The results shown that, composting is apparently a preferable option for promoting waste reduction and recycling from biodegradable waste in the Mekong Delta region.

Attitudes And Behavior

This research applies the binding communication model to the sustainable communication strategies implemented in most hotels. The binding communication model links a persuasive message with the implementation of a low-cost commitment to strengthen the link between the attitudes and behavior of those receiving the message. We compared the effectiveness of a classical communication strategy (n = 86) with that of a binding communication strategy (n = 101) to encourage guests to choose sustainable behavior. Our results show that using the binding communication strategy generates significantly more sustainable behavior in guests than using the classical communication strategy. We discuss our results and suggest future avenues of research.

Attitudes And Behavior

Abstract. The core aim of the present study is to compare the effects of a safety campaign and a behavior modification program on traffic safety. As is the case in community-based health promotion, the present study's approach of the attitude campaign was based on active participation of the group of recipients. One of the reasons why many attitude campaigns conducted previously have failed may be that they have been society-based public health programs. Both the interventions were carried out simultaneously among students aged 18-19 years in two Norwegian high schools (n = 342). At the first high school the intervention was behavior modification, at the second school a community-based attitude campaign was carried out. Baseline and posttest data on attitudes toward traffic safety and self-reported risk behavior were collected. The results showed that there was a significant total effect of the interventions although the effect depended on the type of intervention. There were significant differences in attitude and behavior only in the sample where the attitude campaign was carried out and no significant changes were found in the group of recipients of behavior modification.

Attitudes And Behavior

Abstract. Most employees participate in workplace meetings, and their experiences in meetings can vary greatly, which can lead to positive or negative effects on both job attitudes and behavior. In this study, we examined the effect that a meeting attendee’s competence in the meeting topic had on their participation in the meeting and their perception of meeting effectiveness. Results indicated those with higher levels of competence in the meeting topic were more likely to participate and through participation found their meeting more effective; this relationship was stronger when employee dissent in the meetings was high. Leaders should ensure that those who are present in a meeting are competent in the topic of the meeting and encourage them to participate.
