Impact of Residents' Participation in Traditional Community Activities on Future Environmental Program In Yogyakarta, Indonesia

This study investigates the impact of residents' participation in traditional community activities on their future intentions toward environmental improvement. Structural equation modelling (SEM) and a questionnaire survey of 300 residents across three different areas were used. The results indicate a higher sense of environmental responsibility of residents in areas where the government’s ecological programs are engaged than in places where non-governmental organisations (NGOs) are involved. However, residents demonstrate a greater intention to participate in future river environments with NGO involvement. The underlying motivation for participating in community activities is crucial in shaping residents' future intentions regarding river ecological programs.
