Abstract

Background:In Bali, waste generation is estimated at 10,266.4 m 3 per day. Although promotion and public education about waste management have been carried out for a long time, community behavior related to waste management is still lacking. Objective: This study aims to better understand the factors influencing waste management behavior. Thus, the promotion strategy given to the community can be ideal. Methods: A crosssectional study was conducted in 5 sub-districts in South Denpasar District. The accessible population was all households in South Denpasar District, with a total of 36,722 households. After calculation according to the formula, the sample size was 100 and was added 10% to make 110 samples to minimize invalid data or unwilling households. As for the exclusion criteria for respondents, they were those who have lived <6 months in the sub-district of South Denpasar. The sampling technique used was Probability Proportional to Size, then analyzed using the logistic regression. The questionnaire was used to help the data collection processes. Results: People with good behavior in managing waste amounted to 55.45%. The multivariate analysis results showed a significant relationship between knowledge (AOR=2.52; 95%CI= 1. attitude (AOR=3.06; and perceived behavior control (AOR=3.00; with waste management behavior in the community. Conclusion: Efforts are needed to increase knowledge through training and education programs managed by the government and local nongovernmental organizations. In addition to more frequent programs to increase community participation, accompanied by more adequate facilities and infrastructure such as carrier services and waste banks.

Both of these theories emphasize that the social environment greatly determines a person's behavior.…”
