“…Lastly, the findings show the high level of attitude is represented by people living in Kampung Langkap, Kampung Sungai Tong, Bandar Kuala Terengganu, Kampung Seberang Takir, Chabang Tiga, Lapangan Terbang Sultan Mahmud, Manir, Kampung Peradung, Kampung Kuala Jeneris, Kampung Kuala Tajin, and Kampung Kuala Telemong. The findings parallel with studies conducted by (Abun & Aguot, 2017;Arbaat, Norshariani, & Sharifah Intan Sharina, 2010;Bozoglu, Bilgic, Topuz, & Ardali, 2016;Majumder, 2019;Shahzadi, Hussain, Afzal, & Gillani, 2018;Sultana, Hossen, & Khatun, 2017). Community involvement is vital to those who have a direct impact on environmental issues.…”

Like any other country, Malaysia also faces environmental issues and should not be separated from the threat of water quality deterioration that contributes to river pollution. River pollution occurs due to the community's irresponsible attitude that ignores its importance as a life source. This study aims to develop a spatial model of attitude towards river pollution using GIS. This study used a survey method, which is purposive sampling through questionnaires, involving 396 respondents. The findings were analyzed using XLSTAT to obtain the mean value. GIS was then applied to implement buffer analysis and spatial analysis. The Attitude model was then successfully developed. The study's findings show that the number of people living in Kampung Menerung and Kampung Lubuk Periuk is low. A moderate level of attitude is represented by the people living in Kampung Pasir Pelatar, Kampung Jenagur, Kuala Berang, Kampung Lerek, Kampung Tanggul, Kampung Kuala Ping, Kampung Pelong, Kampung Payung, and Kampung Merbau Menyusut. Next, the findings show the high level of attitude is represented by people living in Kampung Langkap, Kampung Sungai Tong, Bandar Kuala Terengganu, Kampung Seberang Takir, Chabang Tiga, Lapangan Terbang Sultan Mahmud, Manir, Kampung Peradung, Kampung Kuala Jeneris, Kampung Kuala Tajin, and Kampung Kuala Telemong. The study results show that GIS usage is the best approach to assist decision-making for the stakeholders. Therefore, future studies should focus on various variables, including environmental awareness, environmental concerns, environmental values, environmental practices, and involve GIS in solving environmental issues.

“…That is why children should be taught with a positive attitude toward SWM, through environmental education, which will teach children to respect the environment and its resources. For that matter, the environmental attitudes of young people must be critical as they ultimately play a direct role in providing knowledge-based solutions to emerging environmental problems [78,79]. Meanwhile, if school environmental programs are directed at students, and they are formulated appropriately, they can impact the environmental knowledge, attitudes, and behaviour on adults, i.e., parents, teachers, and local community members, through the process of intergenerational influence [80,81].…”

“…Meanwhile, if school environmental programs are directed at students, and they are formulated appropriately, they can impact the environmental knowledge, attitudes, and behaviour on adults, i.e., parents, teachers, and local community members, through the process of intergenerational influence [80,81]. A study conducted on environmental knowledge and attitudes also shows that students can develop high levels of understanding and positive attitudes, thanks to their families, teachers, school curriculum, and through reading studies and information regarding the environment [79]. In that case, teachers' mental attitude in environmental education toward waste management is vital in teaching students in the context of developing countries.…”

“…Knowledge is considered extrinsic in this context in which one can gain or acquire through an external source, such as in schools and universities. Most of the analysed studies [108,[112][113][114]119,122] found low knowledge of SWM, while others [79,106,110,126] indicated a high knowledge level of SWM or environmental education. However, and as seen by the analysed results, knowledge does not necessarily lead to practice.…”

Raising Awareness on Solid Waste Management through Formal Education for Sustainability: A Developing Countries Evidence Review

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Solid Waste Management (SWM) is a multifaceted problem comprising political, socioeconomic, institutional, and environmental aspects. Due to exponential urban growth, it has become one of the most significant issues faced by urban spaces in developing countries. The gap in environmental knowledge among the youth and the old within developing countries contribute to ecological issues or waste management problems, resulting in unsustainable development, with important consequences in low-income countries. For that matter, a systematic review was conducted aiming to identify and analyse environmental knowledge, awareness, attitudes, and practice studies on SWM from 2010 to 2019 in developing countries. The evidence suggests that students at both secondary and tertiary levels have positive environmental attitudes, and high awareness of environmental issues, but there is a lack of practical education of teachers to guide students to put SWM into practice. Student’s low environmental knowledge is related to a deficiency in teachers’ practical experience in SWM for environmental sustainability. A relationship between teachers’ and students’ knowledge and attitudes towards SWM, as well as differences in awareness, attitude, and practices of SWM linked with education and age, were also found. This review also revealed that the lack of environmental education in most developing countries is caused by fragilities in practical environmental curricula of teachers to respond to modern-day environmental issues for sustainable development and cleaner production (CP). To bridge the knowledge gap between the youth and older people in SWM, environmental sustainability education should be integrated into schools at all levels within developing countries.
