Adiwiyata Program Implementation in Inculcating Environmental Care Characters: A Literature Review

Abstract

Adiwiyata is a program implemented to create a school that cares, has an insight, and has an environmental culture. There are four main components in the implementation of the Adiwiyata program, namely implementing environmentally friendly policies, using curricula about the environment, participatory activities, and managing environmentally friendly supporting infrastructure. In implementing the Adiwiyata program, it can affect the character of caring for the environment for students. Character of caring for the environment is the knowledge and attitude of students in an effort to prevent damage and develop efforts to repair environmental damage. This article was created using the literature review method, which is to collect literature that is relevant both nationally and internationally. Several articles analyzed, the obstacles in the implementation of the Adiwiyata program, namely the unfulfilled allocation of funds, human resources, and infrastructure. One of the human resource factors is that students do not understand the concept of environmentally friendly schools. Therefore, the application of the character of caring for the environment is very important for development of knowledge and caring attitudes of students towards the environment.
