<p style="text-align: justify;">Environmental damage must be taken seriously. Strengthening human attitudes to preserve the environment is the keyword, and strengthening the aspects of knowledge about the environment must be pursued. However, a scientific basis is needed that shows that it is true that strengthening the aspects of knowledge about the environment can improve a person’s attitude toward preserving the environment. The purpose of this research is to find the relationship between a person’s knowledge and their behavior in preserving the environment. By defining the general picture of the relationship between knowledge and attitudes, future accurate educational policies can be taken in the context of environmental protection. This research is a meta-analysis of correlation types. The inclusion criteria for selecting the data are as follows: studies published from 1999 to 2022 in English, analyzed by correlation analysis, have descriptions of many samples and correlation indices, and published in Google Scholar-indexed journals. Based on this inclusion criteria, 23 studies were selected containing 36 relevant sets of research data. The results showed that there was a correlation between knowledge and a person’s attitude toward the environment (.37). Assuming a 95% confidence level, the real score ranges from 0.26 to 0.48. The publication bias test using the trim and fill method showed that none of the data contained biased publications, so the meta-analysis results could be declared valid. Now, there is an urgency to expand environmental education to encourage the development of good attitudes by the community toward the environment.</p>
The Bengawan Solo river basin in Central Java Province, Indonesia, has a great history from era to era. But there are still issues with its current management system. Because of that, this paper aims to analyze issues in the management policies of the Bengawan Solo river basin. This is empirical legal research with qualitative analysis. The data were collected through interviews with informants who manage the Bengawan Solo river basin, from the Bengawan Solo River Management Office (RMO), the Environmental Service of Sukoharjo, Surakarta, and Karanganyar Regencies, as well as people who live around the Bengawan Solo river. Research showed that issues that concern the Bengawan Solo river basin are: (1) river basin pollution due to textile waste that is illegally disposed of in the river, and (2) there is a lack of regional regulations that are specially made to manage river basins. Based on the issues faced by the Bengawan Solo river basin, there needs to be a change in the policies on river basin management. There should be a special regulation on the Bengawan Solo river basin area. Apart from that, the Bengawan Solo river basin management should be changed into more effective management patterns.
