and dispose of domestic waste water into the Tuk River. The data have been
collected were analyzed by analysis of frequency tables, cross tabulation
and simple correlation analysis. The results showed that the behavior of
middle settlement cluster of respondents to domestic waste water on aspects
of knowledge and attitude better than any other settlement
clusters. However, in action aspect, respondents in small settlement cluster
better than the other two clusters of settlements. The level of education has a
fairly good correlation in the attitudes of respondents, but still less
correlated to the knowledge and actions in respondent’s domestic waste
water disposal into the river bodies. The fact that encountered in the field,
indicating that the action of respondents in addition to dispose of domestic
waste water is influenced by the knowledge and attitudes are also influenced
by the existing drainage system in the neighborhood.
