Understanding Environmental Protection Behavior Among Coastal Communities: A Case Study of South Buton Regency, Indonesia

Abstract The coastal area of South Buton Regency faces various environmental challenges, including coastal ecosystem degradation, shoreline abrasion, declining environmental quality, and limited community participation in environmental education and conservation actions. These conditions indicate that the success of coastal management is determined not only by policy frameworks but also by the behavior of communities that directly interact with the coastal environment. This study aims to examine the effects of environmental knowledge, coastal ecosystem knowledge, local cultural knowledge, environmental concern, environmental motivation, and environmental attitudes on environmental conservation behavior among coastal communities in South Buton Regency, Indonesia. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed, involving 250 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed through multiple linear regression with SPSS. The findings reveal that coastal ecosystem knowledge, local cultural knowledge, environmental concern, environmental motivation, and environmental attitudes significantly influence environmental conservation behavior, while general environmental knowledge shows no significant effect. These results highlight the importance of context-specific knowledge and affective factors in promoting sustainable coastal environmental conservation.
