Strengthening Energy-Saving Culture Through the Implementation of State Defense

Introduction

Strengthening energy-saving culture through the implementation of state defense. Strengthen Indonesia's energy-saving culture through state defense programs in higher education. Analyze student knowledge and key factors to foster sustainable energy practices and combat the energy crisis.

Abstract

The energy crisis results from imbalanced demand and availability. The Government commits to addressing future energy challenges in Indonesia through a conservation movement. Accelerating anticipatory measures with public support is crucial. Recognizing energy conservation as a societal responsibility, including students as agents of change, the implementation of a state defense program in higher education, is crucial. This research identifies students' energy conservation knowledge, analyzes dominant factors influencing its success, and assesses efforts to strengthen the conservation culture. Findings show awareness levels, with attitude toward belief as a primary hindrance. Combining technical and behavioral approaches is necessary for sustainable energy culture.

Review

This paper addresses a highly pertinent issue: the global energy crisis, framed within the specific context of Indonesia's efforts to balance energy demand and availability. The authors propose an intriguing and somewhat unconventional approach to fostering an energy-saving culture by integrating it with the implementation of a state defense program within higher education. This focus on students as critical agents of change, under a framework of national responsibility, offers a novel perspective on civic engagement in environmental sustainability. The abstract effectively sets the stage for the urgency of the problem and the government's commitment to finding solutions. The research outlines clear objectives: to identify student knowledge, analyze success factors, and assess efforts to strengthen the conservation culture. The stated finding, that awareness levels are present but "attitude toward belief" emerges as a primary hindrance, is particularly noteworthy. This suggests a deeper psychological barrier beyond simple lack of information, pointing towards values or worldviews that conflict with conservation practices. However, the abstract provides limited detail on *how* the "state defense program" is intended to facilitate this cultural shift or precisely *how* "attitude toward belief" was measured or identified as the dominant factor. Further elaboration on the specific mechanisms linking state defense to energy conservation behavior would be beneficial for a complete understanding. The paper concludes by advocating for a dual approach, combining technical solutions with behavioral interventions, which is a sound and widely recognized strategy in sustainability science. The unique contribution here lies in exploring the potential of a "state defense" framework to instill a sense of collective responsibility and action towards energy conservation among students. This study thus opens an interesting avenue for exploring how national programs designed for civic duty can be leveraged for broader environmental goals. Future work might fruitfully expand on the long-term impacts of such integrated programs and delve deeper into the specific pedagogical strategies employed within the state defense framework to foster sustainable energy behaviors.
