Many factors contribute to formation of the environmental awareness of the public. The current existing related research mainly focuses on analysis of causality and correlation, with few quantitative research and empirical test. Thus the paper attempts to give a quantitative description of the factors influencing the public environmental awareness in Shanghai through applying structural equation model, and then put forth effective improvement countermeasures to provide theoretic basis for the government to formulate relevant policies. The conclusion show: The economic factor and environmental awareness factor show the strongest correlation, Individual factor has relatively obvious influences on the environmental factors, the year of birth, monthly income per capita, awareness of environmental protection, number of the neighborhood committees, and the number of the parks have great influences on the pubic environmental awareness in Shanghai

Descriptive Statistical Analysis

ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji dan menganalisis Pengaruh Pemahaman PP No. 23 Tahun 2018 terhadap Kepatuhan Wajib Pajak usaha mikro kecil menengah (UMKM) dengan Pemahaman Insentif PPh Final UMKM Ditanggung Pemerintah sebagai Variabel Moderasi pada Wajib Pajak UMKM di Kota Bogor dan Kabupaten Bogor. Teknik pengambilan sampel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah purposive sampling. Metode analisis data menggunakan structural equation model (SEM). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemahaman terhadap PP No. 23 Tahun 2018 mempengaruhi tingkat kepatuhan wajib pajak UMKM. Sementara insentif yang diberikan pemerintah tidak mempengaruhi kepatuhan wajib pajak karena para wajib UMKM masih memiliki kendala dalam menerapkan insentif yang diberikan. Dengan demikian, diharapkan Direktorat Jenderal Pajak (DJP) dapat memberikan pembinaan berupa sosialisasi yang mudah diakses dan dimengerti oleh para wajib pajak UMKM mengenai pentingnya melaksanakan kewajiban perpajakan. Berdasarkan hasil analisis statistik deskriptif dan uji hipotesis dalam penelitian ini masih ditemukan cukup banyak wajib pajak UMKM yang belum memiliki NPWP dan masih kurangnya pemahaman terhadap insentif PPh UMKM ditanggung pemerintah. ABSTRACTThis study aims to examine and analyze the effect of understanding PP no. 23 of 2018 on Micro and Small Business Taxpayer Compliance with Understanding of MSME Final Income Tax Incentives Borne by the Government as Moderating Variables for MSME Taxpayers in Bogor City and Bogor Regency. The sampling technique used in this research is purposive sampling. The data analysis method uses a structural equation model (SEM). The results showed that the understanding of PP no. 23 of 2018 affects the level of compliance of MSME taxpayers. Meanwhile, incentives provided by the government do not affect taxpayer compliance because MSMEs are required to apply the incentives provided. Thus, it is hoped that the Directorate General of Taxes (DGT) can provide guidance in the form of socialization that is easily accessible and easily accessible by MSME taxpayers regarding the importance of implementing taxes. Based on descriptive statistical analysis and hypothesis testing in this study, it was found that quite a lot of MSME taxpayers did not have a TIN and there was still a lack of understanding of the MSME PPh incentives borne by the government.
