| Summary: | Globally, the solid waste management (SWM) and environmental care (EC) are critical issues that require significant attention. Increasing community Awareness is one solution to address these challenges. Community awareness on SWM and EC refers to a community's knowledge and understanding of the importance of proper waste management and environmental care. The objectives in this study are: i) to identify the strength of relationships between variables and ii) to develop a multiple linear regression model for community Awareness, Integrity, Attitude, Knowledge, and Perception. A total of 254 respondents from UiTM Perak Branch, Tapah Campus participated by completing an online questionnaire, with 70.87% female and 29.13% male respondents. The study used a simple random sampling technique and applied correlation analysis and multiple linear regression. The results showed moderate associations (0.4 < r < 0.7) between community Awareness and Integrity, Attitude, Knowledge, and Perception regarding SWM and EC. The multiple linear regression model was found to be significant with a p-value of less than 0.05 where all variables were significantly contributed on community Awareness. © 2024, Semarak Ilmu Publishing.
