| Summary: | The perception of the community towards pollution is one of the key factors influencing decisionmaking related to environmental actions. Increasing the public's perception and knowledge of
pollution has been proven to be a basis for intervening in lifestyles to avoid pollution. This study
aims to examine the perceptions of pollution, risk perception, and knowledge of the community in
the districts of Ciparay, Dayeuhkolot, and Margaasih, in Bandung Regency, as well as the factors
from demographic attributes and household characteristics that influence them. The total number
of respondents is 290 individuals. The average knowledge score of the community in the districts
of Ciparay, Dayeuhkolot, and Margaasih is 62.57 (out of 100). The average score for risk
perception regarding air pollution is 3.66 (out of 5), while for risk perception regarding water
pollution is 3.49 (out of 5). The majority of respondents feel that there is air and water pollution
in their surroundings. The average scores for perceptions of indoor air quality, air quality in the
districts, and air quality at workplaces are 3.6, 3.42, and 3.43, respectively (out of 5). The average
scores for perceptions of the quality of drinking water sources, clean water sources, and rivers in
the districts are 3.67, 3.74, and 2.62, respectively (out of 5). There are differences in knowledge,
perceptions of pollution, and risk perception among the districts of Ciparay, Dayeuhkolot, and
Margaasih. The highest knowledge comes from respondents living in Ciparay, while the lowest
knowledge comes from those living in Margaasih. There are differences in the frequency of
exposure to pollution sources and diseases related to air and water pollution for all aspects, except
for cigarette smoke. There are not many differences in the sources of information about pollution
from each district. Risk perception in Dayeuhkolot is the lowest compared to the other two
districts. The demographic attributes and household characteristics that have a significant
correlation with knowledge are duration of residence, occupation, source of clean water, and
distance from the house to the river. On the other hand, the demographic attributes and household
characteristics that have a significant correlation with perception are age, education level,
expenditure, income, occupation, type of housing, source of drinking water, source of clean water,
and distance from the house to the river. The factors that influence the public's risk perception are
the possibility of contamination, possibility of receiving consequences, previous experiences,
benefits obtained from risk, and the severity of the risk. |
