Abstract
Failure for the implementation of an appropriate strategy for a change of littering behavior is due to the failure of identifying the strategies that are significant. In Malaysia context, there are no empirical studies undertaken to examine the problems of litter disposal particularly relating on behavior change strategies. In facilities management, studies on behavior are included in the scope of behavior management and human capital management to enable the building's main functions operating well. Therefore, this study was undertaken to achieve four objectives, i.e i) To identify antecedent and consequent intervention strategies for littering behavior change in low-cost residential flats ii) To identify implementation activities of antecedent and consequent intervention strategies for littering behavior change in low-cost residential flats iii) To identify indicators for littering behavior change in low-cost residential flats iv) To identify relationship between antecedent and consequent intervention strategies and littering behavior change in low-cost residential flats. In achieving the research objectives, as many as 1137 set of questionnaires were distributed for data collection and only 849 set of questionnaires were returned by respondents. Respondents for this study involve low-cost flat residents in the three areas of the city council which are City Hall of Kuala Lumpur, City Council of Shah Alam and City Council of Petaling Jaya. The samples data were analyzed through descriptive analysis and Structural Equation Modeling (SEMPLS) analysis by using SmartPLS 2.0 software. The results of this study has indicated six significant intervention strategies and five intervention strategies which showed insignificant decisions based on an assessment of the t-value. The six significant intervention strategies are law enforcement, punishment, community education, social norms, community involvement and prompting. Whereas the five insignificant strategies are environmental design, reward, modeling, incentives and campaign
