The results obtained, namely: Environmental knowledge influences the attitude in managing the environment by 0.68 with a probability value (P) 0.00001. Environmental knowledge has no effect on people’s behavior in handling environmental sanitation by 0.221 with a probability value (P) 0.055. Knowledge of environmental sanitation affects the attitude in managing the environment by 0.349 with a probability value (P) 0.021. Knowledge of environmental sanitation has no effect on people’s behavior in handling environmental sanitation by 0.261 with a probability value (P) 0.00001. Income level influences the attitude in managing the environment by -0.112 with a probability value (P) 0.087. The level of income affects the behavior of the community in handling environmental sanitation by -0.161 with a probability value (P) 0.003.
