| Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris |
| This study explores youth engagement practices in environmental activities. The evaluation is based on a survey; respondents consisted of 400 youths from two subdistricts located in Muallim, Perak, Malaysia: Slim and Hulu Bernam Timur. The data was analyzed descriptively to obtain the Cronbach alpha values, and Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was performed using SPSS 22 software. The results of the EFA reveal four youth engagement practices: Purchasing Activity Practices (AAP), 3R Activity Practices (AA3R), Energy Saving Practices (APT), and Travel Mode Practices (AMP). These practices may inform environmental education and behavioral targeting to promote sustainability among youth in Malaysia and the evaluation provided in the discussion may be duplicated to assist in similar practices assessment in other areas. ?
