Abstract


Industrial activities are recognized as major drivers of environmental degradation, necessitating a shift toward more sustainable and ecological business practices. This study explores community perceptions of the six dimensions of the New Environmental Paradigm (NEP): anti-anthropocentrism, the fragility of ecological balance, the potential for an eco-crisis, the rejection of human exemptionalism, the concept of limits to growth, and confidence in human capability through science and technology. A descriptive qualitative method was applied, utilizing questionnaires distributed to 21 respondents living in the vicinity of the industrial area in Kampung Kadingding, Tambak Village, Kibin District, Serang Regency, Banten. The results reveal a relatively strong awareness of the fragility of nature and the likelihood of ecological crises. Conversely, lower levels of support were observed for anti-anthropocentric views and the principle of growth limitations. These findings highlight a form of cognitive dissonance, where communities near industrial zones display environmental awareness yet remain influenced by economic considerations in shaping their perspectives.
