ABSTRACT

This research aims to find out the relationship between knowledge, income, social environment, and physical facilities of the community with household waste management behavior on Lakkang Island. The type of research used is analytical observational with a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study were heads/housewives on Lakkang Island. The sample in this research was 110 respondents. The research results indicate that knowledge and the social environment have a significant impact on household waste management behavior in the Lakkang Island community, as evidenced by p-values of 0.000 and 0.011, respectively. In contrast, income and access to physical facilities are factors that do not exert a significant influence on people's behavior in managing household waste, with p-values of 0.333 and 0.449, respectively. Knowledge and social environment are significant factors, while income level and physical facilities are factors that do not have a significant influence on people's behavior in managing household waste. So, there is a need to pay more attention to knowledge, especially regarding household waste management, apart from that, the provision of physical facilities needs to be a concern for the government on Lakkang Island.
