Abstract


Kegagalan dalam menguruskan sisa pepejal boleh mengakibatkan kemerosotan sumber alam sekitar. Bagi mengurangkan penggunaan sumber asli, guna semula barangan perlu menjadi salah satu kaedah yang boleh diamalkan. Program kitar semula sering dijadikan antara aktiviti bagi menggalak dan mendidik masyarakat mengenai penggunaan semula barangan. Walaupun kesedaran pengguna sedikit sebanyak mulai meningkat melalui program tersebut, namun penyertaan dalam kitar semula masih rendah. Objektif kertas kerja ini adalah untuk mengenal pasti pengaruh faktor situasi terhadap tingkah laku kitar semula. Kajian ini akan menggunakan data yang diperoleh melalui tinjauan terhadap 259 pelajar yang terpilih secara persampelan rawak mudah dari tujuh buah pusat tingkatan enam dalam daerah Beaufort, Sabah, Malaysia.  Data yang diperoleh dianalisis menggunakan statistik deskriptif dan statistik inferens (korelasi dan regresi). Dapatan kajian menunjukkan  bahawa min tahap situasi adalah berada pada tahap sederhana manakala  amalan tingkah laku kitar semula berada pada tahap tinggi. Hasil analisis korelasi (Pearson) pula menunjukkan faktor situasi mempunyai hubungan yang signifikan terhadap tingkah laku kitar semula pada tahap yang sederhana.  Selain itu, faktor situasi juga memberi pengaruh  yang signifikan kepada amalan tingkah laku kitar semula di rumah namun pada tahap sederhana. Penemuan ini mempunyai implikasi yang ketara khasnya bagi memberi maklumat yang lebih tepat berkenaan faktor yang mempengaruhi amalan kitar semula. Hasil kajian ini dapat digunakan untuk menjana idea dan cadangan untuk meningkatkan amalan dan tingkah laku pro-alam sekitar yang menyokong kitar semula dalam kalangan pelajar sekolah.

Failure in managing solid waste can lead to deterioration of environmental resources. In order to reduce the use of natural resources, the reuse of goods should be one of the methods that can be practiced. Recycling programmes are often used as activities to encourage and educate the community on the reuse of goods. Although consumer awareness has gradually begun to increase through the programme, participation in recycling is still low. The objective of this paper is to identify the influence of situational factors on recycling behaviour. The study will use data obtained through a survey of 259 students selected by simple random sampling from seven sixth form centres in Beaufort district, Sabah, Malaysia. The data obtained is analysed using descriptive statistics and inference statistics (correlation and regression). The findings showed that the mean situation level was at a moderate level while recycling behaviour practices were at a high level. The results of the correlation analysis (Pearson) showed that situational factors had a significant relationship to recycling behaviour at a moderate level. In addition, situational factors also have a significant influence on recycling behaviour practices at home yet at moderate levels. These findings have significant implications, especially in providing more accurate information on factors affecting recycling practices. The results of this study can be used to generate ideas and suggestions to improve pro-environmental practices and behaviours that support recycling among school students.
