Abstract

This study is undertaken to examine the university faculties switching intention to bioplastic (SIB) products with the help of the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) along with three additional constructs namely Green Knowledge (GK), Environmental Concern (EC), and Person’s Innovativeness (PI). Importantly, this study is quantitative in nature whereas a structured questionnaire was placed to collect the data from 218 survey respondents. SPSS 25 had been used to analyze the reliability of the constructs, correlation, and regression to find out the direct effect of predictors on university faculties switching intention to bioplastic products. This study reveals that attitude towards bioplastic, green knowledge, environmental concern, and person’s innovativeness have statistically significant relationships with the switching intention to use  bioplastic products. Surprisingly, in this study person’s innovativeness had found the strongest predictor among all the studied constructs. This study contributes theoretically to the robustness of the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) with Green Knowledge (GK), Environmental Concern (EC), and Person’s Innovativeness (PI) in academic perspectives. Moreover, the outputs of this study help the bioplastic manufacturing firms to produce bioplastic products in bulk amount in future and uptake the market of bioplastic products in Bangladesh.

Abstract

The Tektekan Okokan tradition of Kediri, Tabanan, is a surviving Balinese ritual using sonic instruments—Okokan, Kulkul, and Tengteng—to repel disease outbreaks (grubug) and neutralize negative forces in the village. Historically performed for days or even months following spiritual messages (pawisik) and signs of occult disturbance, today it is mainly held on Pengerupukan, the eve of Nyepi, as a replacement for ogoh-ogoh processions while circling the village. This practice inspires the creation of a contemporary fashion collection. Data on the tradition were obtained through literature study, observation, and documentation. The design process follows the eight‑stage Frangipani method (design brief; research and sourcing; design development; final collection; prototype, sampling, and construction; promotion, branding, and sales; production; and business). The resulting works comprise three categories—ready to wear, ready to wear deluxe, and haute couture—visualizing Tektekan Okokan through selected keywords and plague‑like, enveloping motif details that symbolically depict the village under attack and ritually protected.
