“…Attitudes about littering include feelings scepticism about whether littering is truly a deviant behaviour, if it seriously harmful to the environment, and whether it is worth mitigating (Keep Louisiana Beautiful, 2017). In one of public Malaysian university, mentioned the students' positive littering behaviour was high due to lack of littering facility provided, followed by low littering awareness and infrequent campaign activities (Asmui et al, 2019). This is consistent with a previous study conducted in one of the private universities in Bandung, Indonesia, students still throw garbage carelessly even though in place there is garbage pit (Anwar et al, 2017).…”

“…In Malaysia, the trash bins equipped with three different colours widely provided by many university campuses and colleges as to mainly facilitate students to practice 3R. In addition, consumers claimed that the less the facilities provided, and the more inconvenience felt by them in carrying out the process of recycling, the lower would be the participation in recycling (Latif, Omar, Biding and Awang, 2013;Asmui et al, 2018). Littering education has been taken place since the students were in kindergarten and primary schools.…”

“…Littering education has been taken place since the students were in kindergarten and primary schools. However, the problematic point of view of today's generations is that they have the rights of limitless ownership without taking into account the responsibilities towards society and humanity (Astrom, 2011;Ashtankar, 2016;Asmui et al, 2018). This condition caused the efforts of government and university to achieve and maintain the cleanliness of campuses and colleges failed.…”

Going green must derive from green practice. The green practice involves 3R process that focus on effort to reduce, recycle, and reuse. The recycle issue always became on top in the list, indirectly other effort reduce and reuse also important toward environmental concerns. Thus, the researchers found it vital to conduct a study on the green practice process related to 3R (reduce, recycle, and reuse) based on affective and cognitive environmental, also interested to assess the role of students' attitude as a mediator in the relationship between the variables of interest. For that reason, 112 respondents were selected to participate and all of them completed set of questionnaires. The findings show that, only affective environmental and students' attitude have a significant and positive influence towards 3R processes. In addition, students' attitude does not mediate the relationship between affective environmental and 3R since the indirect effect is smaller than direct effect. This finding determine Universiti Teknologi MARA students are putting their efforts and support toward environmental concern. Thus, business industry and tertiary institutional may need to collaborate to start encouraging their customers move effort toward 3R process to support green practice.

“…H4 Attitude and behavior disparities across demographic facets: While a diverse array of demographic groups acknowledged engaging in littering, our results validate that younger individuals are more prone to both admitting and participating in littering in comparison to their older counterparts [1,3,7,19]. Furthermore, in consonance with ear-lier investigations, individuals with stronger religious affiliations manifest a heightened propensity for littering when contrasted with their secular peers [1,32,62]. Although our study identifies a relatively modest connection between littering and educational attainment, this association finds reinforcement from other inquiries [7,33].…”

“…Sociodemographic parameters, encompassing gender, age, religiosity, and education, have been correlated with littering tendencies. Notably, youth, males, individuals with greater religiosity, lower education, and reduced income exhibit a higher propensity for littering [1,3,11,[30][31][32][33][34][35][36]. Psychological factors, such as awareness, attitudes and beliefs, willingness to act, self-responsibility, and locus of control and norms, have been examined in several studies on environmental behavior.…”

The detrimental impact of visitor-induced litter pollution on ecosystems, wildlife, and overall quality of life emphasizes the urgency of mitigating it. This study uniquely focuses on diverse visitors’ perceptions of littering behavior in open spaces, facilitating comprehensive assessment and targeted mitigation strategies. This study aimed to analyze attitudes, willingness to act, and responsibility perceptions, considering diverse demographics in Israel’s multicultural context. It sought insights into littering rationales, potential remedies, and the identification of relatively acceptable littering behaviors for focused attention. This profound comprehension is crucial for conserving ecologically sensitive open areas, necessitating optimized management for interface preservation. Leveraging insights from an online survey involving 401 recent open-space visitors, this research reveals a disparity between self-professed and actual littering practices. Intriguingly, 32% of participants who claimed never to litter described instances of doing so. Furthermore, disparities emerged between anti-litter attitudes, willingness to act, and individual accountability, which were influenced by demographic variables. While individuals from various demographic cohorts attested to littering behavior, young ultra-Orthodox Jews possessing solely a high school level of education exhibited a proclivity for increased littering. Perceptions predominantly attribute purposeful and recreational motives to littering, rather than substantial reasons. Participants conceive a diverse range of effective strategies to address the issue, highlighting its intricate and multifaceted nature. Consequently, this study advocates for a multifaceted approach combining enhanced enforcement, educational campaigns, informative initiatives, and infrastructural enhancements. By acknowledging the complexities of littering behavior and embracing multifarious interventions, policymakers can enhance the likelihood of successfully curbing this pervasive challenge.
