Perubahan Perilaku Menyampah Siswa Melalui “Reinforcement”

Abstrak

Littering behavior studies are essential amid high waste conditions in
Indonesia. This study aims to analyze student littering behavior changes
through a reinforcement program in Junior High School in Depok, West
Java. Using an explorative-qualitative approach and collecting data through
in-depth interviews with key informants, the study found that students'
littering behavior can be categorized as active and passive. Active littering
behavior is based on students' lack of concern for the environment due to
insufficient knowledge of the impact of waste. Then passive littering
behavior is caused by habits that delay littering even though they are aware
of the waste dangers. Continuous reinforcement at school in positive and
negative reinforcement through the "Green School Program" can reduce
student littering behavior, both actively and passively.
