Abstract

This study explores the language barriers faced by Indonesian low-skilled workers under the Technical Intern Training Program (TITP) in Japan. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with four informants, each representing one of the following sectors: caregiving, fisheries, construction, and agriculture. The informants were selected using the snowball sampling technique. The findings reveal a linguistic mismatch between Japanese language training at LPKs (Job Training Institutions) in Indonesia and Accepting Organisations (AO) in Japan with the actual communication demands encountered in the workplace. While the training programs focus on grammar and standardized Japanese, they lack adequate preparation for the real-world, context-dependent communication skills needed in the workplace. Barriers such as limited understanding of technical terms and local dialects hinder effective adaptation. This study underscores the need for workplace-oriented, practical language training to enhance communication, productivity, and social integration of Indonesian TITP workers in Japan.

Abstract

DKI Jakarta as the capital of Indonesia has a policy to manage waste (recycling) in a decentralized manner, namely that waste is managed as close as possible to its source, without relying on disposal in landfills anymore. This pro-environment policy targets reducing and handling waste by 30% and 70% respectively by 2030. Currently the program is being implemented, non-residual waste will be processed and recycled in decentralized processing or TPS 3R. In order to achieve this target, the community and government must work together to make changes and must have a sense of ownership, responsiveness, concern and responsibility for the waste produced. This research uses a qualitative approach with observations, questionnaires to 330 respondents and interviews with the community and local government. And this research found that TPS and TP3R public facilities still do not comply with existing regulations and do not meet the criteria for accommodating recycling activities. From 2018-2022, the reduction in waste generation was 9% from the target of 26% and the amount of waste handling was 1.66% from the target of 70%. People still don't recycle for various reasons and there is also a lack of consistency in implementing recycling behaviour due to rational attitudes such as just paying money for waste. The government is obliged to facilitate these recycling activities together with various stakeholders, by carrying out various innovations and outreach to the community, by implementing waste management based on community participation.

Abstract

Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) has been widely applied in environmental science as it closely linked to human behavior. This study aims to analyze research trends, identify potential future research, and propose the development of an integrative TPB model to address gaps in previous research. A total of 120 articles were selected from the Scopus database using rigorous screening criteria, including title-based selection, English-language articles, and a manual abstract review, covering publications up to April 4, 2025. Bibliometrix, VOSviewer, and MindMup were used to support keyword visualization and content interpretation. The results show that China and the United States lead in research contributions, while Africa, despite facing significant sustainability challenges, remains underrepresented. Recent research topics include energy efficiency, climate change, and air quality, which are different from the topics of interest before the COVID-19 pandemic, such as green hotels and tourism. Keyword such as “corporate norm” appear less integrated with other research themes. Further researches are expected to focus more on Africa and incorporate additional behavioral frameworks. In particular, integrating with behavioral models based on altruistic interests (Value-Belief-Norm/VBN), especially for studies in the Asian regions, which have a more dominant collectivist culture than individualism. The weakness of TPB, which only considers cognitive factors, can be addressed by adding affective factors through the Model of Goal-Directed Behavior (MGB). The proposed integration of MGB-VBN-Knowledge holds potential to enhance explanations of public environmental behaviour and formulate more effective policies. The role of corporate norms in shaping environmental behavior also warrants further exploration.
