Environmental pollution of DKI Jakarta is 
characterized by high levels of air, water and marine 
water pollution, due to poor and correct waste and 
waste management. Based on research conducted by 
the Institute for Social, Environmental & Urban 
Studies (LS2LP) in 2013, environmental damage 
was marked by reduced water catchment areas, 
shrinking green open areas (RT), damage to blue 
open areas (rivers, situ, waterways, and coastal 
waters ), exploitation of underground water with 
various negative impacts (land subsidence, seawater 
intrusion, etc.), coastal abrasion due to reduced 
mangrove forests on the north coast, and poor city 
drainage systems. Taken from 
(http://www.tribunnews.com/topic/banjir-di-jakarta). 
Various environmental problems that threaten 
environmental sustainability include global 
warming, urban air pollution, lack of water, 
environmental noise, and loss of biodiversity. If this 
condition persists like this then Jakarta will continue 
to deteriorate in terms of environmental quality, and 
the people of Jakarta will feel the loss due to these 
things. Psychologically, someone who lives in a bad 
environment will more easily experience stress, 
emotional disturbances, and even can cause 
aggressive actions due to mental exhaustion due to 
poor environmental quality (Farisy, 2015; Kuo & 
Sullivan, 2001). 
Environmental damage can be minimized by 
fostering concern for the environment that is realized 
by pro-environmental behavior. Pro-environmental 
behavior is a behavior that is carried out consciously 
and aims to minimize the negative impacts caused 
by one's activities on the environment (Kollmuss & 
Agyeman, 2002). Ramus and Killmer (2007) argue 
that pro-environmental behavior is part of prosocial 
behavior, because this behavior has benefits for 
others and the environment. Stern (2000) says that 
pro-environmental behavior can provide benefits for 
others and the environment. Pro-environment 
behavior is also a behavior that is consciously 
carried out to safeguard the environment and 
minimize the negative impacts caused by one's 
activities on the environment. For example, efforts 
to reuse used goods, prevent the occurrence of waste 
or garbage, energy conservation efforts, as well as 
the behavior of using transportation that tends to be 
free of air emissions (Gamal, 2009). 
Several studies have examined the factors that 
influence pro-environment behavior by using 
various theoretical models that seek to explain and 
predict pro-environmental behavior in society. These 
theories attempt to understand environmental 
behavior through causal models. According to Stern 
(2000), there are four types of causal variables that 
influence pro-environment behavior, namely: 1. 
Attitudes (including norms, beliefs and values), 2. 
contextual, 3. personal capacity, 4. Habits and 
routines. individual. 
Research conducted by Bronfman, et al (2015) 
also suggests several factors that can support pro-
environment behavior, namely values, new 
ecological paradigm, a awareness of consequences, 
ascription of responsibility and personal norms. 
Meanwhile, Clayton & Myers, (2009) revealed that 
there are several factors that can change people's 
behavior towards pro-environment behavior. These 
factors are: 1. personal factors 2. situational factors. 
As for personal factors in the form of a sense of 
responsibility towards the environment and feelings 
/ values that arise from within to protect the 
environment well, a sense of responsibility arises 
from personal values. Whereas situational factors in 
the form of regulations made by the city government 
prohibit and fine people who do things that can 
damage the environment and harm many people 
such as penalties given to people throwing garbage 
to the river or culverts. Another situational factor is 
cooperation between the community and the 
government in overcoming the environment, such 
as: problems of flooding, air pollution, garbage, etc. 
The existence of this collaboration makes the people 
in the surrounding environment follow the situation 
that exists to help protect the environment and not 
do things that can harm the environment and the 
people. 
The explanation above explains the need for the 
responsibility of every community and government 
to protect the environment. These responsibilities are 
carried out by individual individuals and some are 
the responsibility of the government. Every 
individual has their own opinions, perceptions or 
assumptions about who should be responsible for 
protecting the environment. Opinions, perceptions or 
assumptions about who should be responsible for a 
matter are also called the term "ascription of 
responsibility". Stern (2000) 
According to Stern (2000) ascription of 
responsibility is an opinion, perception or 
assumption about who should be responsible for 
something. In the context of Jakarta society, 
ascription of responsibility means the assumption of 
who should be responsible for environmental 
problems in Jakarta to avoid all disasters such as 
floods, water pollution, air pollution, etc.
