Survey on Environmental Values and Behavior in North Sumatran Cities

189.9 KB of survey data from a quantitative study examining how environmental philosophy and local wisdom influence pro-environmental behavior in the cities of Tebing Tinggi and Medan, North Sumatra. The dataset, created by Mashitoh Yaacob and shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license, was last updated on 2026-05-25. It was collected using a descriptive-explanatory survey design and analyzed with statistical methods including correlation and multiple linear regression.

Use Cases

• Modeling predictors of pro-environmental behavior based on survey responses about values and attitudes.
• Comparing the influence of environmental philosophical orientation versus local wisdom on ecological actions across two urban contexts.
• Conducting correlation analysis between variables like ecocentric orientation, religious-cultural values, and reported behavior.
• Triangulating quantitative survey results with qualitative thematic analysis of open-ended responses.

Strengths

• Dataset is underpinned by an integrated theoretical framework combining VBN Theory, Theory of Planned Behavior, and the Knowledge-Attitude-Behavior model.
• Statistical validity and reliability were tested using Corrected Item-Total Correlation and Cronbach's Alpha thresholds.
• Research design includes a comparative analysis across two distinct urban contexts (Tebing Tinggi and Medan).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The 189.9 KB file size suggests a limited scope, likely corresponding to a small or moderate survey sample.
