ABSTRACT
This article examines the dynamics of human environmental behavior through a behavioral approach to nature conservation efforts. The research highlights the importance of pro-environmental behavior, which can be influenced by social norms, economic incentives, and environmental education. By analyzing various studies and successful interventions applied in several regions, such as the recycling program in Surabaya and the "Bye Bye Plastic Bags" movement in Bali, this article demonstrates how behavioral change can support environmental conservation. The behavioral approach, which includes the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and social influence, is considered an effective tool for changing community habits to actively participate in environmental preservation. By utilizing interventions based on social norms, economic incentives, and educational campaigns, this research provides recommendations for more effective behavior-based environmental conservation policies in Indonesia.

Analysis of the Influence of the Korean Pop Culture Phenomenon (K-Pop) on Student Learning Motivation

Octaviana Gabriella Sinaga — 2024-11-30

The phenomenon of Korean Popular Culture or Korean Pop (K-Pop) has become a hot topic in recent years, including in Indonesia. This culture, originating from South Korea, encompasses various aspects such as music, dance with unique choreography performed by girl groups and boy groups, as well as dramas that have become widely popular. K-Pop culture has gained widespread appeal across all demographics, including children, teenagers, adults, and especially university students. Based on this phenomenon, the researcher conducted a study aimed at exploring the correlation between the K-Pop cultural phenomenon and learning motivation among university students. The research employed a quantitative approach, supported by primary data collection through the distribution of questionnaires to 18 respondents. The results of the study indicated that K-Pop culture positively impacts students' learning motivation. Some of the reasons cited for this positive influence include K-Pop's ability to enhance students' moods while studying, serve as a form of self-reward, provide unique motivation, and inspire students to pursue further education or work in South Korea. However, the study also revealed that K-Pop culture has negative effects on some students. Several respondents felt that K-Pop was a time-waster, as it led them to become too engrossed in watching K-Pop content, thus neglecting their academic priorities. This highlights that while K-Pop can be a source of motivation, excessive involvement in it may distract students from focusing on their studies.
