Environmental issues are important to be solved because it would threaten both of the current and future life. It can be done through implementing sustainable education as a process of humanization that produced changes in knowledge-understanding, awareness, and sustainable practices. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of sustainable education by examining the differences in ecological literacy among students of the Faculty of Agriculture, the University of Brawijaya based on their year of submission, study program, place of origin, and sex. Several 419 students participated in this online survey. Ecological literacy was measured using an instrument developed by McGin (2014). Chi-square and t-test were applied to test the differences. Results show that the majority of students are classified to have basic ecological literacy. There is no statistical difference in student's ecological literacy based on their year of enrollment, study program, and place of origin. Only based on sex, the difference exists, where female students have a higher level. Although there are no differences in the implementation of sustainable education on the two study programs, the improvement is still needed to raise the level of students' ecological literacy.
Climate change is considered as one of the environmental problems because it can reduce farmers' productivity and income, so farmers must implement adaptation strategies to minimize the negative impacts of climate change. This study aims to determine the implementation of farmers 'adaptation strategies, the factors that influence it, and assessing the benefits of implementing adaptation strategies on farmer productivity and incomes. This research was conducted in Sekarputih and Pendem hamlets, Pendem Village, Batu City with a sample size of 80 rice farmers. The analytical tools used are logistic regression to assess the factors that influence farmers' decisions, and t-test to assess the benefits of implementing adaptation strategies. The results showed that the climate change adaptation strategy applied by farmers in Sekarputih and Pendem hamlets during the dry season was to use dry season adaptive varieties. Farmers' decisions to implement adaptation strategies are influenced by factors of education, activeness in farmer groups, seed sources, harvest orientation, and weather information. The t-test shows that farmers who apply adaptation strategies get higher productivity and income than farmers who do not apply adaptation strategies
AbstrakHarga cabai rawit yang berfluktuasi menyebabkan petani cabai rawit takut akan adanya kerugian karena tidak dapat memprediksi harga. Salah satu cara yang bisa dilakukan untuk mencegah kerugian adalah dengan melakukan peramalan (forecasting). Peramalan merupakan metode yang digunakan untuk memprediksi sesuatu di masa depan menggunakan data di masa lalu. Salah satu metode peramalan bernama Holt-Winters Exponential Smoothing, merupakan metode yang biasa digunakan pada barang yang memiliki pola harga musiman, sesuai dengan cabai rawit yang merupakan tanaman musiman. Peramalan yang dilakukan menggunakan data sebanyak 108 buah, yaitu data harga rata-rata bulanan cabai rawit di Kota Malang dari 2012-2020. Menggunakan nilai inisialisasi level 0.99, trend 0.01, seasonal 0.01, didapatkan MAPE sebesar 31%, MAD sebesar 9762, dan MSD sebesar 183465457. Hasil peramalan harga cabai rawit di Kota Malang untuk tahun 2021 mengalami pola naik dan turun. Bila dibandingkan dengan data aktual, harga peramalan lebih rendah daripada harga aktual, tetapi pola yang dihasilkan sama, dikarenakan musim penghujan dari bulan Januari yang menyebabkan petani menjadi gagal panen, dan harga melambung tinggi. Rekomendasi untuk para petani di Kota Malang adalah dengan mengatur luas tanam pada saat musim penghujan, melakukan penanaman secara tumpangsari, menjual cabai rawit dalam bentuk selain cabai rawit segar, dan menjalin kemitraan dengan perusahaan.Kata kunci: cabai rawit, peramalan harga, holt-winters exponential smoothingAbstractThe fluctuating price of rawit chilli causes rawit chilli farmers to hesitate to plant rawit chilli, because they are afraid of losses. A way that can be done to prevent losses is by forecasting. Forecasting is a method used to predict something in the future using data from the past. One of the forecasting methods is called Holt-Winters Exponential Smoothing, which is commonly used for goods that have seasonal price patterns, and one of them is rawit chilli. Forecasting is done by using 108 data units, consist of data on the monthly average price of rawit chilli in Malang City from 2012-2020. With level initialization value of 0.99, trend of 0.01, seasonal of 0.01, they produce MAPE of 31%, MAD of 9762, and MSD of 183465457. The results of forecasting of the rawit chilli’s price experience up and down pattern. When compared with the actual data, the forecasted price is lower than the actual price, but the pattern is the same, due to the rainy season from January which causes farmers to fail, and prices soar. Recommendations that can be given to farmers in Malang City are to regulate the planting area during the rainy season, do intercropping, sell rawit chilli in forms other than fresh rawit chilli, and establish partnerships with companies.Keywords: rawit chilli, forecasting, holt-winters exponential smoothing
This research is to analyze factors affecting the entrepreneurial orientation focused on agricultural university students. The research location was the Faculty of Agriculture (University of Brawijaya) with a total sample of 340 students. The data analysis to answer the research problems was Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). SEM is a statistical method allowing testing a series of relatively complex relationships simultaneously. The relationship can be developed from one or several dependent variables with one or several independent variables. Both variables are in the form of factors (constructs consisted of several indicators). The results show that the perception of structural support has direct and indirect effects on the entrepreneurial orientation of individual students. Furthermore, the perception of educational support does not directly affect the students' IEO. However, the perception of educational support would affect IEO when mediated by self-efficacy.
This is pilot study designed to ascertain college students' understanding of domestic food waste management using an online questioner. The descriptive results section of the report is used to describe the central tendency of the data collected for each variable. Meanwhile, the people who took part in the research were all part of a webinar on waste management that was led by people from universities and environmental groups. The findings indicated that students' knowledge of domestic food waste management remained diverse. Some of them continue to view waste management as a time-consuming and demanding activity. Community understanding about waste management, especially food, should be given early and started at home. As a result, environmentally friendly activities must be regularly promoted and implemented at the school, university, government, and community levels in order to improve people's quality of life.
