The main purpose of this study is to investigate the factors that have an impact on public policy, green products and technology in Kuala Lumpur, given government initiatives to boost the environment awareness. The data used in this study was collected by distribution questionnaires randomly in six areas of Kuala Lumpur and 400 respondents were interviewed. Based on a literature review, three hypotheses were stated and tested using structural equation modeling (SEM). SEM is a statistical analysis method that involved two or more variables in analyzing structural relationships among the variables. The SEM model shows that green products and government policies have a direct influence on environmental awareness. However, green technology does not have a direct influence on environmental awareness. Since, knowledge on green technology does not have a significant impact on raising environmental awareness among the public, a much more pragmatic awareness campaign needs to be put in place to use green technology as a part of modern living. The study suggests that the urban population needs to be more aware of the environmental issue as cities tend to have better infrastructure to raise public awareness on green issues. Moreover, the government should increase the environmental awareness among younger generation through workshops, seminars, campaigns, and pamphlets.

Purpose: The current study aims and reviews the current state of research in green awareness' distribution structure using the ecological theory of Ted Hughes who was regarded as one of the best English poets of the 20 century. Ted poetry has innovated ecological distribution. It has inspired so many young people to have a positive energy impact on the environment. Research design, data and methodology: Action research design is an approach used extensively in qualitative content analysis. This design starts by adopting an exploratory claim that develops the research objectives, hence instigating the action process, which involves several strategies. This type of design involves a cyclic process of stance then action. Results: According to the investigation, there are nine solutions that can deal with the green distribution based on previous literature review, applying an ecological approach of Ted Hughes to green awareness distribution. The solutions figured out that Ted's novels had an innovative impact on the environment as it is clear that information is given to society. Conclusions: It is observed that having a highly professional environment is good enough for a structure to go green. But, on the other hand, polluting our environment can endanger species by causing health diseases and environmental problems.

Purpose: Using green supply chain management (GSCM), the current study focuses on the fashion design industry as a central player in promoting an eco-conscious consumption culture by creating awareness of the need to produce and consume eco-friendly fashion products instead of only capitalizing on the shifting consumer tastes, preferences, and expectations. Research design, data and methodology: This study selected a PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) checklist as a research methodology. The purpose is the detailed and disinterested evaluation of all the published information related to the topic of the research. Results: This study suggests brief solutions of the GSCM based on the five categories of sustainable fashion activities that contribute to the development of eco-friendly fashion designs and marketing strategies. This strategy employed by firms to promote sustainable production and consumption is a major factor in enhancing consumers' environmental awareness. Conclusions: The study delves into how brands in the fashion design industry provide a platform for collective action by investing in educational campaigns and transparent communication, collaborating with various stakeholders to maximize awareness of the need for eco-conscious consumption and the availability of green fashion products. Practitioners should consider developing a comprehensive framework to assess the feasibility of different awareness strategies and purchase stimulation approaches.

The main purpose of this paper is to explore how green supply chain management (GSCM) and its evaluative factors have affected green supply chain management practice and performance in industrial zone. This study proposes a structural equation model of the relationships among four factors: internal awareness (IA); suppliers' pressure (SP); customers' awareness (CA); and regulations pressure (RP) and their effect on GSCM practice (PA) and GSCM performance (PE). We used a survey questionnaire to elicit perceptions/opinions about GSCM from three level of managers of 322 companies in Bac Ninh Province's industrial zones, Vietnam. PLS-SEM 3.0 software was applied to analyze and verify the gathered data, and the proposed hypothesis model. The results of path analysis show that internal awareness and customers' awareness are positively related to the GSCM practice and GSCM performance. However, suppliers' pressure and regulations pressure just impacted on GSCM practice. As a result, the testing of the relationship between GSCM practice and GSCM performance has been verified and supported. The findings of this study can help manager of companies in industrial zone understand the structure of GSCM, associate with the green supply chain management practice and green supply chain management performance, and be successful in green management organizations.

This study aims to investigate factors influencing customer behavior towards nylon bags and single-use plastics. These factors are environmental protection awareness, health protection awareness, sense of responsibility, expectations, and green marketing. A quantitative method with the use of surveys is deployed to collect data of young people under 30, generating 1650 valid responses. The collected data is then analyzed with SPSS 22, using Cronbach's Alpha and Exploratory Factor Analysis to test the reliability of the model before validating the hypotheses by regression analysis. The study found that the majority of respondents are inclined to use plastic bags, despite their environmental awareness. The results also demonstrate that health consciousness, environmental concerns, self-driven responsibility for the sustainability of young people have a significant impact on their behaviors in using nylon bags and plastic products, whereas expectation and green marketing are confirmed not to be the factors. The study suggests that if green marketing is to gain higher influence, an increase in research and development to support other environmentally friendly packaging would be the right path. Finally, this research proposes some feasible recommendations for the government, which include imposing bolder and more targeted environmental policies on consumers and introducing educational campaigns to raise awareness about minimizing plastic consumption.

The study aims to assess factors affecting intention to purchase green products in Vietnam. The study employs samples from customers who have actually experienced green consumption in Vietnam. The samples were collected by convenient sampling methods. The survey obtained 206 responses with full information. The survey was conducted from October 2019 to January 2020. The measurement scale was a 5-point scale with 1- completely disagree and 5- strongly agree. This study employs factor analysis and structural equation modelling analysis. The results showed that the social and environment sustainability awareness have positive effects on altruism of customers who are interested in green consumption. Altruism also has the same direction on green purchase intention. Besides, the attitude toward buying green and health consciousness affects green purchase intention. At the same time, the altruism and attitude towards buying green products also influence positively on green purchase intention. Besides, the health consciousness positively affects attitude towards buying green products. The results show that the health consciousness has a negative impact on intention to purchase green products. The findings suggest that it is necessary to raise customers' health consciousness, customers' altruism from disseminating knowledge about environmental protection as well as society to enhance the green consumption in Vietnam.

This study aims to determine (1) the inhibiting factors and solutions in the development of eco-tourism, and (2) how green entrepreneurship can be used for eco-tourism development. The increasing issue of global warming is pushing awareness of environmental preservation. This condition changes the people's paradigm in traveling from the concept of mass-tourism to the concept of eco-tourism. The development of eco-tourism has consequences for entrepreneurial activities which is known as green entrepreneurship. This study is applied research conducted in East Lombok, one of the regions in Indonesia. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling covering a total of 34 informants. Data collection methods are carried out through interviews, observation, and documentation studies. Based on the data analysis, the findings of this study show that (a) inhibiting factors of eco-tourism development are limitation of eco-tourism knowledge, lack of awareness in environmental preservation, and absence of supporting government policy; and (b) solution for eco-tourism development discovered in this research is divided into five factors i.e., condition, demand, related industry and support, strategy, government. Besides, for applying the green entrepreneurship model i.e., developing the spirit of green entrepreneurship, training in making products and services that are environmentally friendly is needed.

Purpose: This paper examined the role of conditional value in the green automotive industry. The relationships of conditional value's four factors, consumers' attitudes and consumers' intention to purchase green cars were investigated. The conditional value was extended by examining the effect of fuel prices. Research design, data, and methodology: This study is quantitatively designed. All variables were measured using a 7-point Likert-scale; 425 questionnaires were collected from the respondents in Malaysia. SmartPLS was utilized to examine the proposed nine hypotheses. Result: The results demonstrate a positive relationship between attitude and intention toward green cars. Additionally, the results of the relationships were as follows: fuel prices was the most significant predictor of Malaysian consumers' attitudes and consumers' intention to purchase green cars, followed by environmental consequences and government policy. However, retail sales promotions did not show a significant effect on both consumers' attitudes and intentions. Conclusion: The study's findings suggest that the Malaysian government should implement an integrated package that includes a fuel pricing policy that restricts the purchase of non-green cars, as well as a set of financial incentives for purchasing green cars. Moreover, it is valuable to conduct public awareness campaigns about the negative consequences of current consumption patterns.

유통시장의 개방과 함께 국내·외 유통기업들의 진출과 같은 다양한 형태의 유통업태들과의 경쟁으로 인해 전통시장은 심각한 문제들에 봉착하게 되었다. 전통시장의 생존을 위해 그간 정부는 다양한 정책을 추진하였고, 학자들도 문제 해결을 위한 많은 연구결과를 발표하였으나 불행하게도 그 결과들은 아직 만족스럽지 못한 상태이다. 본 연구는 정부의 저탄소 녹색성장 정책의 도입과 관련하여 전통시장의 생존과 유지·발전을 위한 새로운 관점으로 접근하였다. 먼저 전통시장의 생존과 유지·발전을 위해서는 최근 이슈가 되고 있는 정부의 저탄소 녹색성장에 대한 이해가 필요할 것이라는 가정아래 먼저 전통시장 상인들의 저탄소 녹색성장에 대한 인지 정도를 측정하였으며 전통시장을 발전시키기 위한 키워드로 상인들의 조직몰입과 조직몰입에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 태도변수로 정부정책에 대한 신뢰와 상인들의 자기효능감을 측정하여 변수들 간의 관계를 분석하였다. 흥미롭게도 전통시장 상인들의 인구통계적 특성(예를 들어 기성세대와 젊은 세대의 세대별 양극화 현상과 학력차이)이 구별되는 것을 발견하였다. 전통시장 상인들의 세대차와 학력차이로 인한 변수들의 평균값에 차이가 있는지를 확인하기 위하여 일원분산분석을 실시한 결과는 다음과 같다. 전반적으로 기성세대 상인들의 녹색성장인식, 정부정책신뢰, 자기효능감과 조직몰입의 정도는 젊은 세대 상인들과 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 구체적으로 녹색성장인식(F = 9.964, p<.05), 자기효능감(F = 5.532, p<.05) 그리고 조직몰입(F = 5.697, p<.05)은 통계적으로 유의미한 차이를 나타냈다. 또한 학력차의 경우에도 고학력 상인들이 학력이 낮은 상인들에 비해 전반적으로 높은 평균값을 보였다. 구체적으로는 고학력 상인들의 녹색성장인식(F = 8.564, p<.005)과 자기효능감(F = 6.754, p<.005)이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이런 결과는 정부가 정책을 실현함에 있어 상인들의 인구통계적 특성도 중요한 요인이 될 것임을 반영하고 있다. 연구결과 1) 상인들의 저탄소 녹색성장 정책에 대한 인식이 높으면 전통시장에 대한 조직몰입의 정도가 통계적으로 유의미함을 알 수 있었고, 2) 녹색성장 정책의 인식과 조직몰입간의 관계에 있어 상인들의 정책신뢰가 조절하고 있음과 3) 상인들이 스스로 해낼 수 있다는 신념인 자기효능감은 둘 간의 관계를 완전매개함을 확인할 수 있었다. 정부정책신뢰가 녹색성장 정책의 인식과 조직몰입간의 관계를 조절한다는 뜻은 상인들이 정책를 신뢰할 수 있는 어떤 단서가 있어야 함을 의미하며, 자기효능감의 완전매개는 전통시장 상인들이 스스로 전통시장을 활성화할 수 있을것이라는 신념을 스스로 가질 수 있도록 정부가 충분히 고려해야 한다는 것을 의미한다. 말미에는 이 연구결과를 통해 얻을 수 있는 영향과 향후 연구 방향을 제시하였다.
