"Educating the B40 group of societies towards a sustainable environment: A case study on Rukun Tetangga Jelapang’s achievement"^^ . "This paper presents the findings made on a research carried out in Jelapang Tambahan,\r\nIpoh, Perak. There are 220 households, mostly from B40 category families, and was\r\nidentified as one of the dengue-prone villages in the Kinta District. A total of 4,812\r\ndengue cases were detected at end of November 2014 with 13 fatalities, of which some\r\nof the fatal cases came from this village. The villagers were ignorant of the importance\r\nof keeping the environment clean. Twelve (12) illegal dumpsites were detected in this\r\nvillage prior to the start of this research. An action committee was formed which\r\ncomprised representatives from Rukun Tetangga Jelapang, the Solid Waste\r\nManagement Corporation and Ipoh City Watch, with the role of educating the Jelapang\r\nTambahan folks through a series of campaigns and recycling projects. Using Ajzen and\r\nFishbein (1980)’s Theory of Planned Behaviour Model as a guiding factor and Kolb\r\n(1984)’s Experiential Learning Theory, the education project via Trash-to-Cash\r\nsustainable recycling was launched on 4 April 2015. A collection centre within the\r\ncommunity was established where participants were requested to turn in their\r\nrecyclables twice a month in exchange for cash. Recyclables collected were segregated,\r\nweighed and recorded every month from April 205 to November 2016. Contributors\r\nwere paid cash in exchange for the recyclables brought to the centre. The data collected\r\nwere then tabulated and analysed to establish the trend. Results obtained showed that a\r\ntotal of 8,900 kg of recyclables have been collected giving the participants a\r\nsupplementary income of RM3,850. The 12 illegal dumpsites prior to the start of the\r\nproject have disappeared, fatal dengue cases had dropped drastically, and the recycling\r\nrate was 13.1% which is higher than the national rate of 10% in 2016. Thus, the\r\noutcome of this study can help create an impact to the society by changing their\r\nbehaviour if the right approach is used to educate them. (Abstract by authors)"^^ .
