ABSTRACT

This study objective is to find the general picture of the knowledge, attitude and behavior of students for sustainable development. It used the quantitative method with 160 students as the research subjects with the data collection technique of questionnaire distribution. The questionnaires are valid (the corrected item total correlations for knowledge, attitudes and behavior are: 0.745, 0.878 and 0.726) and reliable (α for knowledge, attitudes and behavior are: 0.985, 0.978 and 0.959). The positive nuances questionnaire's results are analyzed through a correlative analysis. The results showed scale 4 were chosen most for knowledge and attitude (41.40% and 42.93%), only in behavior the scale 3 was the most chosen (34.63%). The results concluded that the students tend to have positive knowledge, attitude and behavior towards the sustainable development, and the results will give strong support the sustainable future for human security. The results were connected with the big data, especially in social media and instant messaging where they can learn and get educated about sustainable development.
