Environmental concern, attitude and intention in understanding student’s anti-littering behavior using structural equation modelling

Concerns about the environment began to rise as various issues such as littering increased. Littering is one of the problems involving the environment, and higher education campuses are also actively practising anti-littering to show their efforts. The aim of this study is to test the relationship b...
