Abstract

The progressively severe environmental damage requires awareness of conservation efforts, one of which can be implemented through education. As a conservation university, the vision of Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES) to shape the pro-environmental academic community cannot be separated from the role of the surrounding pondok pesantren that also contribute to educating students to have an environmental character based on Islamic values. The presence of pondok pesantren is important to effectively internalize ecotheological teachings. Currently, there are not many studies that reveal the environmental character of the pesantren residents. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effect of environmental knowledge and value on environmental behavior in santri of pesantren in the UNNES area. This is a quantitative study with a research sample covering 208 students from pesantren in the UNNES area—selected by stratified random sampling technique. The data collection method used was questionnaire. The data analysis applied included quantitative descriptive analysis and multiple linear regression analysis with F test, t-test, and determination coefficient analysis. The results point out that the environmental care character of santri in the UNNES area is in the very high category. This study shows that pesantren have a major contribution in developing environmental care character. Environmental knowledge and value simultaneously affect environmental behavior by 10.5% or are in a low category. Then, according to the t-test, only environmental value has a significant effect on environmental behavior. Meanwhile, environmental knowledge has no significant effect on environmental behavior. These results denote relevance to the planned behavior theory that environmental care behavior is more influenced by attitudes than knowledge, and other factors exist, namely social norms and behavioral control.
