Abstract

Environmental sustainability is not only responsibility of government, but everyone as human being has
responsibility to be sure that environmental sustainability will be exist now and the future. It will be more easily to aim
as every human being realizes the importance of safeguarding the environment to achieve better quality of life and
environmental sustainability. Recognizing the importance of self-awareness to create environmental sustainability, this
research has a purpose to obtain a frame of society self-awareness in protecting the environment for the sustainability of
the environment. To make a city as a safe place for people, it is needed participation, collaboration and awareness from
all elements in the community, especially in big cities like Jakarta. This is a qualitative descriptive research using
primary data (questionnaires), with the object of research is the community in the areas of South Jakarta, East Jakarta
and Depok and using a purposive sampling to get sample. Data were processed and analyzed using descriptive statistics,
such as min, max, mean, and standard deviation. The mean becomes the basis for categorizing the level of awareness
(self-awareness) on the sustainability of its environment. There are 3 categories such as low, middle and high. The
results showed that the awareness of the community (self-awareness) towards the realization of environmental
sustainability is at the middle level. The self-awareness such as the use of resources; use of energy (electricity) and
water are high. The respondents have high awareness in using electricity and water use. But, the awareness to process
waste into recyclable products, and reducing air pollution is still in the middle-low level.
