ABSTRAK Industri batu alam termasuk kategori industri kecil. Pengolahan limbah cair industritersebut masih menimbulkan pencemaran pada badan air. Salah satu penyebabpencemaran dipengaruhi oleh perilaku pengusaha. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk(1) menganalisis hubungan antara pengetahuan, sikap dan status sosial ekonomipengusaha dengan tindakan dalam pengolahan limbah cair; dan (2) menganalisiskinerja pengolahan limbah cair industri batu alam. Penelitian dilakukan di DesaCikalahang, Kecamatan Dukupuntang, Kabupaten Cirebon. Jumlah sampelsebanyak 30 orang pengusaha. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan kuesioner danpengujian kualitas air (parameter: suhu, pH, DO, dan TSS). Data dianalisis denganmenggunakan uji statistik korelasi berganda. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkanhubungan positif lemah baik korelasi parsial maupun berganda. Kontribusi secarasimultan sebesar 10%, sedangkan 90% dipengaruhi oleh variabel lain. Kinerjapengolahan limbah berada diatas baku mutu kelas II PP No 82 Tahun 2001. Saranpenelitian yaitu perlu adanya pembinaan dan pemantauan berkala pengolahanlimbah. Selain itu perlu meningkatkan nilai jual lumpur sebagai hasil samping daripengolahan limbah ABSTRACT Natural stones industry is classified to small industry category.

This study aimed to (1) Analyze correlation of knowledge,attitude, and socio-economy status with entrepreneur behavior regardingwastewater treatment; and (2) Analyze performance of wastewater treatment innatural stones industry. This study took place in Cikalahang Village, DukupuntangSub-District, Cirebon District. Total sample are 30 entrepreneurs. The data wascollected by questioner and water quality test (parameters: temperature, pH, DO,and TSS). The data was being analyzed with multiple correlation statistic test. Thestudy result indicated a weak-positive relation for both partial correlation andmultiple correlations. Simultaneous contribution was 10% and for 90% affect byothers variable. The wastewater treatment performance in a slight higher positioncompare quality standard 2nd class of Government Regulation no. 82, 2001. Thisstudy suggested that periodical monitoring and development for wastewatertreatment will be needed. Moreover, it should increase the selling value of sludgeas a byproduct of waste treatment;; |
