The Impact of Public Participation and Community Quality of Life on Environmental Performance in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), Indonesia
Keywords:
Environmental performance, public participation, quality of life, green accounting,, NTBAbstract
This study aims to analyze the influence of public participation and community quality of life on environmental performance in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Province. Against the backdrop of increasing environmental pressures and low environmental performance in NTB, this research adopts the Green Accounting approach as an analytical framework that integrates environmental aspects into economic decision-making. The study employs a quantitative method using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS), involving 150 waste-generating SMEs as the sample. The findings reveal that community quality of life has a significant effect on environmental performance, while public participation does not have a significant impact on either quality of life or environmental performance. These results highlight the importance of improving quality of life as a key strategy for enhancing environmental performance, as well as the need for more inclusive and transformative public participation. This study contributes to the development of a conceptual model based on Green Accounting that can be applied in sustainable development policies in developing regions such as NTB.
