The Role of Environmental Awareness in Shaping Public Acceptance of the TPS 3R Waste Management System: A TPB-Based Approach. This study aims to examine the influence of environmental awareness on public acceptance of the TPS 3R community-based waste management system. The research employed a quantitative approach using a survey method with a structured self-administered questionnaire distributed to 120 respondents from Trawas Village, Mojokerto. The findings indicate that environmental awareness significantly influences individuals' attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control regarding waste management. These three psychological constructs are positively associated with the intention to support and engage in TPS 3R initiatives. Specifically, attitude and subjective norm were found to significantly predict public acceptance of TPS 3R policies, while perceived behavioral control did not show a significant direct effect. This suggests that structural and resource-related barriers may hinder individuals' ability to act on their intentions. The study confirms the applicability of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) in explaining public behavior in waste management and emphasizes the importance of increasing environmental awareness to foster stronger community engagement.
