Conclusions
The findings of this study show that the implementation of
CBWM has positive effects on waste discharge behavior. There
were no residents disposing their waste on the side of the road,
into river streams or burning their waste illegally where CBWM
was already implemented. Consequently, it can be concluded that
CBWM reduces inappropriate waste disposal behavior and in turn
contributes to environmental improvement. Future filed study
should be designed to investigate the relationship between the
implementation of CBWM and environmental cleanliness in the
area.
Influencing factors on people’s willingness to cooperate
in source separation were identified. A significant correlation
between education and willingness to cooperate in the Genuk Sari
area (S3) was identified. In order to implement CBWM successfully
in lower class area like S3, improvement of education level is the

who had previously received information on 3R, promotion of 3R
concept in schools repeatedly is required. Further investigation at
