3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
3.1 Results
In fact, the awareness of citizens in preserving the
environment needs to be improved, given not only in
Indonesia, but the world is currently experiencing an
environmental crisis that is rooted in the mistakes of
human behavior is rooted in the mistakes a human
perspective on human, alone, nature and human
relationships with the whole universe (Keraf, 2010).
As well as Cogan in Budimansyah (2008) added
eight characteristics that need to be owned by
citizens in connection with the increasing severity of
the challenges to be faced in the future.
Characteristics of such citizens include:

Confirmed by the Center for Curriculum B
alitbang MONE (Ainiyah, 2013), 'there are 18
characters to be owned by a citizen, namely, the
character of religious, honesty, tolerance, discipline,
hard work, creative, independent, democratic,
curiosity , the spirit of nationalism, the love of the
homeland, the appreciation of achievement,
friendship / communicative, peace loving, caring
environment, social care, and responsibility '. Of the
18 characters are no virtues citizens (civic virtue) in
a social environment that is environmentally
conscious character, it means that one must have a
sense of responsibility and have a high awareness in
loving environment.
However, the fact remains that our nation society
is still adorned by a symptom of kelemahkarsaan, a
mentality that is not suitable for development
(Budimansyah, 2006). This will affect the awareness
of citizens in preserving the environment. In this
case Citizenship Education has an important role in
the cultivation of values, because the hallways value
based, these values must be taught in formal
education such as civics civic (community Civics).
Objects Civics and Citizenship Education Study
(civic education) are citizens in conjunction with
community organizations, social, economic,
religious, and state. As explained by Somantri
(2001) which belongs to the object of study civics is:
Act behavior;
Type growth think;
The potential is there in every self citizens
country;
Right and obligations;
Ambition and aspiration;
Awareness (patriotism, nationalism, sense
international, and moral Pancasila);
Effort, activity, participation and
responsibility responsibility.
Human responsibility in life is not only
responsible for human beings, but also responsible
for environmental sustainability. As was stated by
Bull (2013) that "man as a phenomenon, including
human beings as individuals, humans as social
beings, humans as creatures of culture, and human
beings in the context of the environment." In the
natural system, human beings are part of nature
interact with nature as its environment. In other
words, in this natural system man exists and lives in
the natural environment. Human beings are
responsible for their environment.
The main thing that would have to be done by
humans are changing the paradigm of environmental
conservation. Protecting the environment is an
integrated effort to preserve environmental functions
include planning policy, exploitation, development,
maintenance, restoration, monitoring and control of
the environment. The environment itself is the unity
of space with all things, power, circumstances, and
living things, including human beings and their
behavior, which affect the viability of life and the
well-being of human beings and other living beings.
