Abstract

This study examined the effectiveness of green economy-based education in increasing community awareness and household waste management behavior in Padang Terubuk Sub-district, Pekanbaru City, using a quantitative one-group pre-test post-test design. Data were collected from 200 respondents selected through proportionate stratified random sampling and processed using IBM SPSS Statistics. Instrument validity was assessed with the Pearson Product Moment correlation on 66 questionnaire items, yielding 60 valid items, while instrument reliability tested with Cronbach's Alpha produced a coefficient of 0.754, indicating that the instrument was reliable. Prior to the difference test, normality of the pre-test and post-test scores was examined using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk tests; because the post-test data were not normally distributed, the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test was applied to compare the two measurement periods. Descriptive analysis showed that all seven research variables increased from the pre-test to the post-test, with the largest increase occurring in the Green Economy Education variable (Δ = 38.0) and the smallest in Behavioral Control (Δ = 13.3). The Wilcoxon test confirmed that the increase in all variables was statistically significant (p < 0.001). These findings indicate that green economy-based education is effective in raising environmental knowledge, attitudes, and 3R (reduce, reuse, recycle) behavior at the individual level, although further reinforcement is still required to translate this awareness into collective community participation.
