“…One was to help them better understand pro-environmental and environment-unfriendly behaviors of visitors. Pro-environmental behaviors are behaviors that an individual does to reduce environmental destruction and to conserve the environment [5], and environmentally unfriendly behaviors are the behaviors detrimental to the environment. In the survey task, students discovered environmentally unfriendly behaviors visitors performed in the parks.…”

With a rapid pace of urbanization, urban environment problems have affected large numbers of people and aroused widespread concern. Landscape architecture design helps improve the welfare of urban residents and ecological function of urban green spaces. Course-based influence of college students majoring in landscape architecture is an efficient way to prepare future landscape architects with environmental awareness. This research applied project-based learning (PBL) and zone of proximal development (ZPD) in the landscape architecture design course, and developed the investigation–design–construction PBL modules of the course. The experimental group, 57 college juniors majoring in landscape architecture, received PBL education while learning the course. At the end of the course, a questionnaire was answered by the junior students and the control group, which comprised 60 senior students who received no PBL instruction while learning the same course in the third year. The results indicate that the PBL approach was well accepted by 90% of the experimental group, who were 17.37% more likely to employ pro-environmental design methods in their future work than the control group. It was also found that employing the PBL approach in the landscape architecture design course had a positive influence upon students’ pro-environmental values, knowledge and attitudes.

“…Finally, the present study believes that educational institutions, i.e., colleges or universities, play an essential role in creating awareness among their students about different ecological issues, which resultantly provokes the students to show eco-protective behaviors that is beneficial for environmental quality. However, to the best of our knowledge, only a few researchers have examined the role of environmental awareness and climate change awareness among university students [16].…”

The purpose of this study is twofold: First, it tests the role of students’ environmental awareness and climate change awareness in their environmental protective behavior and environment quality (EQ). Second, it tests the mediating role of environmental protective behaviors in the association between environment behavior, climate change behavior, and environment quality. Moreover, this study utilizes climate-friendly behaviors and pro-environmental behaviors to reflect environmental protective behaviors. The stratified random sampling technique was applied to collect data through a questionnaire from a sample of 403 graduate students enrolled in Higher Education Commission-recognized private and public universities of Pakistan. This study applied partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to empirically estimate the results. This study found that climate change awareness significantly and positively affects climate-friendly behavior, environmental quality, and pro-environmental behavior. Similarly, environmental awareness significantly and positively affects environmental quality and pro-environmental behavior. Moreover, pro-environmental behavior significantly affects environmental quality. Indirect results indicate that pro-environmental behavior significantly mediates between climate change awareness and environmental quality, and between environmental awareness and environmental quality. The findings of this study suggest the importance of enhancing awareness of climate- and climate change-related issues among students to save the environment. Higher education institutions should design subjects and courses that will raise environmental and climate change awareness, and expose students to climate- and environment-friendly education.

“…This Eco literation can be embedded in an individual into beliefs, idealism, character, and the ability to manage and care for nature only if through a process of habituation, it occurs throughout his life (Kurniasari et al, 2020). Environmental awareness is a form of mindset created by behavior and interactions with the environment in order to maintain the balance of the ecological world (Mkumbachi, et al, 2020). Eco literation is able to direct humans to be able to live side by side with nature with the habituation of a lifestyle that loves the universe which will then develop into a culture that develops in society and then has a major impact on global life (Rusmana & Akbar, 2017;Maurer et al, 2020).…”

This study aims to describe how to grow the green behavior of elementary school students based on Eco literation during the COVID-19 pandemic. The method used is a literature review with a systematic mapping study technique as a library search. Based on the results of the study, Green behavior that is grown in children based on Eco literation includes 4 components of Eco literation, namely implications, ecological knowledge, knowledge of environmental problems and environmentally responsible behavior. Through these 4 literacy components children can have a concern for health, personal hygiene and care for the environment, the ability to communicate and apply ecological concepts, an understanding of various problems and issues related to the environment that are influenced by aspects of politics, education, economy, and government institutions and active participation which is aimed at solving and solving problems through selected lifestyle activities. During the COVID 19 pandemic, cultivating Eco literation-based green behavior can be provided through online learning by utilizing digital technology through modeling, habituation, and repetition in everyday life such as consuming healthy food, exercising diligently, carrying out health protocols (diligently washing hands with soap and running water, wearing masks and keeping your distance), besides teaching people to limit activities that can harm themselves and the environment, which are packaged attractively and conveyed through various digital media such as blogs, websites, podcasts, and other social media
