“…(Roth, 1992). Attitudes correlate with behaviour (Kraus, 1995), and several researchers found a link between attitude and knowledge (Cohen, 1973;Hsu & Roth, 1996;Kaiser, Wolfing, & Fuhrer, 1999;Thompson & Mintzes, 2002;Prokop, Kubiatko, & Fančovičová, 2008;Prokop, Fančovičová, & Kubiatko, 2009). Considering these arguments with the historically greatly emphasised link between science education and the learning capacity of students (Alsop & Watts, 2003), one expected that acquiring knowledge or developing a greater awareness of one's environment would result in positive changes in attitude (Morgan & Gramann, 1989;Kellert, 1993 Similarly, Kuhlemeier, Van Den Bergh, and Lagerweij (1999) and Makki, Abd-El-Khalick, and Boujaoude (2003) found only moderate correlations between knowledge of and attitude towards the environment.…”

“…Household members with a higher level of education are expected to have greater environmental-related awareness as has previously been proved by other studies (Arcury & Christensen, 1993;Chanda, 1999;Hsu & Rothe, 1996;Starr, 2015). This is due to the level of knowledge about environmental conditions in general, specific issues related to the environment, and the impact of unmanaged and unprocessed waste, which increases with a higher level of formal education.…”

“…Education is known to correlate positively with recycling activities as seen in previous studies (Starr, 2015;Grazhdani, 2015), and in some countries where individuals have higher levels 456 of education, general concern for the environment is proven to be higher (Arcury & Christensen, 1993;Chanda, 1999;Hsu & Rothe, 1996). Education within the family is important because household behaviour is not only determined by the education level of one person but the education level of the whole family.…”

(Eds) © 2018 Taylor & Francis Group, London, ISBN 978-1-138-62666-9 ix Preface This book is one of the five volumes of proceedings that provides an opportunity for readers to engage with selected papers presented at the 1st Asia-Pacific Forum for Research in Social Sciences and Humanities (1st APRISH) conference held in Depok (Indonesia) on November 7-9, 2016. Quoting the theme of the conference "Competition and Cooperation in the Globalized World," this book would be a valuable contribution to get a better understanding of the future global challenges. Readers will find a broad range of research reports on topics ranging from globalization, poverty, population and some macroprudential perspectives on managing the risk of a more integrated world. One of the unique and valuable dimensions of this conference is the capability for blending the chemistries among educators, students, and researchers from around the world to discuss globalization in a broad spectrum. The reader will discover both common challenges and creative solutions emerge from very diverse settings. The relevance of the conference's theme, towards an evidence-based society, for a variety of disciplines, is reflected in the diverse range of papers that have been submitted for publication. These serve to demonstrate the natural attraction of the conference for sharing ideas and findings within an international community. Overall, the conference was undoubtedly very successful. Plenary lectures and presentations were successfully bridging the gap between the different fields of social sciences, making it possible for non-experts in a given area to gain insight into new areas. Also, among the speakers there were some young scientists, namely, doctoral, master's and undergraduate students, who bring new perspectives to their fields.

“…Few environmental knowledge and attitude studies have been carried out in dense island communities (Volk & Cheak, 2003;Hsu, 2004;Hsu & Roth, 1996). These studies are primarily quantitative, except a study by Volk and Cheak (2003).…”

“…These studies are primarily quantitative, except a study by Volk and Cheak (2003). Hsu and Roth's (1996) study assessed the environmental knowledge and attitudes of a different age group but included a variety of statistical analysis that indicated the significance of certain results. Although the level of environmental knowledge was generally high, relatively negative environmental attitudes were exhibited.…”
