Bio-circular-green model knowledge and environmental knowledge causing sustainable development perspective

Abstract

The population were undergraduates of Rajabhat Mahasarakham University in the first semester academic year of 2022 (Rajabhat Maha Sarakham University, 2022). The simple random sampling technique was used to collect the samples of 400 undergraduates of Rajabhat Mahasarakham University in Maha Sarakham Province. The questionnaire used a tool for data collection. Multiple Regression Analysis was an inferential statistic for data analysis. Descriptive statistics were mean, and standard deviation. The objective of the research was to determine BCG model knowledge and environmental knowledge causing sustainable development perspective. The finding demonstrated that the prediction equation of the relationship between independent variables of Bioeconomy (X1), Circular economy (X2), Green economy (X3), Water management (X4), Energy management (X5), and Waste management (X6) causing dependent variable Sustainable Development Perspective (Y) of undergraduates of Rajabhat Mahasarakham with prediction power of 70.10 percent. Green economy (X3) has the highest causing power with can explain the Sustainable Development perspective (Y) of undergraduates with 34.20 percent at statistical significance at a level of 0.01. Moreover, the other factors also aid to enhance prediction power to explain the Sustainable Development perspective (Y) of undergraduates, except Circular economy (X2) showed a negative direction. To develop the proper curriculum for undergraduates of Rajabhat Mahasarakham University, the university administrators should launch programs and activities to encourage them to continuously participate in programs and activities to meet better environmental quality at both their household and university and for better life quality.
