Amalan Penjimatan Air, Tingkah Laku, Pelajar IPT, Penggunaan Air DomestikAbstract
Air merupakan salah satu sumber yang utama kepada manusia dan sangat penting bagi kelangsungan hidup. Kajian ini bertujuan mengkaji tahap penglibatan pelajar Institut Pengajian Tinggi (IPT) di Terengganu dalam amalan penjimatan air dan mengenal pasti faktor yang mempengaruhi tingkah laku pelajar dalam amalan tersebut. Sampel kajian terdiri daripada 182 orang pelajar IPT di Kuala Terengganu, antaranya Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT), Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA) dan Institut Pendidikan Guru (IPG) Kampus Kuala Terengganu. Data dianalisis menggunakan analisis statistik deskriptif dan analisis min. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa majoriti pelajar IPT di Terengganu mengamalkan penjimatan air dalam aktiviti harian. Antara amalan yang paling kerap dilakukan ialah pelajar menutup paip air dengan rapat (97.8%) dan memastikan agar mesin basuh penuh muatan sebelum menggunakannya (81.3%). Faktor utama yang mempengaruhi amalan penjimatan air ialah faktor bil air dan rasa tanggungjawab. Hasil dapatan ini mampu memberikan panduan kepada pihak berkepentingan, termasuk institusi pendidikan, pemerintah dan industri dalam merancang dan melaksanakan program-program penjimatan air yang efektif.
