Abstract

The environmental quality in Pekanbaru is declining as the days go by. One of the significant routine problems that are faced by the local population every raining season is flood. In Pekanbaru, a number of protocol roads are flooded with rainwater that causes heavy traffic jam in many areas. The reason for this phenomenon is complex. To protect the quality of the environment in Pekanbaru, all layers of community need to participate actively. This action starts with the increase of environmental awareness that is reflected in the frequency of the pro-environmental behavior. The focus of this study is to explore the pro-environmental behavior in junior high school students who are the next generation of this nation. Another reason for the population choice is because junior high school students are in a transition phase from childhood to teenagehood. In this crucial phase, students need more guidance in implementing pro-environmental behavior and becoming pioneers who care for the environment. Santa Maria Junior High School is categorized as the largest private education institution in Pekanbaru. The population in this school is vast and potential in implementing pro-environmental behavior. Since the beginning of this school, the commitment to care for the environment has been established. In 2014, the school was awarded a record-breaking replica of Muara Takus Temple made of recycled waste of coconut shells (Cocus Nucifera L) by Indonesia Museum of Record. The aim of this study is to explore the level of pro-environmental behavior of the students in Santa Maria Junior High School. The understanding from this study will be the preliminary information for stakeholders and policymakers to enhance pro-environmental behavior in all layers of the community, especially junior high school students. This study applied quantitative methodology. The total population was 789 students, and the respondents in this study were 79 students.
