Abstract

Knowledge and attitudes have a close relationship in bringing up a behavior, especially environmental health behavior. The environment is still a major problem for environmental health, especially related to waste management. The community in RW 06 Oro-Oro Dowo Village, Klojen District, Malang City also feels the problem of waste. The waste management behavior carried out includes burning garbage, making a dump or a hole in the ground as a place for garbage disposal and then burying it, and throwing garbage on the side of the river. During the rainy season in RW 06, there must be flooding of approximately 1M high, especially the houses that are close to the river. This research is a quantitative-research using questionnaires and observations and is a type of cross-sectional research. From the research that has been done, it is found that 57% of the people have good knowledge about waste management, 57% are supportive of waste management, and about 43% of the people have good behavior about waste management. Based on the results of the binary logistic regression test, a significance value of 0.467 was obtained. Because the significance value is 0.467 > 0.05, it can be concluded that H0 is accepted and Ha is rejected. This means that there is no relationship between knowledge and attitudes about waste and the behavior of disposing of waste in the community of RW 06 Oro-oro Dowo Village, Malang City.
