functions. The behavior that appears is a process of interaction between personality and
the environment that contains stimuli. The stimulus then responds in the form of a
response. This response is called behavior. This behavior is visible (response operation)
and invisible (don't operate). Visible behavior is behavior that can be observed by
others. At the same time, other people cannot directly observe intangible behavior, such
as thinking and feeling. According to Azwar (Siregar, 2018) among the many behavioral
characteristics, for example, the only interesting behavior is the nature of its
differentiation. This means that one stimulus can cause more than one different response
and several different stimuli can cause the same response.
Environmental cleanliness is a state free from dirt, dust, and odors. Maintenance
refers to the act of maintaining, protecting, maintaining, preserving, and avoiding harm.
Likewise, the term "cleanliness" comes from the term "clean condition" which means it

Clean living behavior is a series of various forms of behavior carried out by the
community towards the environment, including irresponsible behavior, such as
environmental pollution behavior, to responsible behavior (such as caring for and
cleaning the environment). Environmental cleanliness refers to the cleanliness of
residential environments, workplaces, and various public facilities, one of which is
natural tourist attractions. Nature tourism or better known as ecotourism is a form of
tourism that is managed through conservation.
Ecotourism is a form of tourism that is responsible for protecting natural areas,
providing economic benefits, and maintaining the integrity of the local community's
culture. Therefore, maintaining the cleanliness of the environment in natural tourism
areas (ecotourism) is something that must be done by every visitor.
Tourism is a temporary shift of residence carried out by people outside their
residence for a reason, rather than carrying out activities that do not generate wages.
(Simanjuntak, Tanjung, & Nasution, 2017) The behavior of tourists that damage natural
tourism areas are cleanliness, destruction, and pollution. Environmental Destruction is a
destructive human activity. Environmental destruction is very common and is the
activity of scribbling the walls to show that they have arrived at this place. Other forms
of destruction include cutting down trees, picking flowers, picking flowers, and picking

environmental sustainability. Pollution is the main enemy of tourism. The pollution of
the most obvious is waste in the form of organic and inorganic waste. Generally, the
trash found in tourist attractions is food wrapping paper, food scraps, cigarette packs,

Sundays or holidays, pollution will be very visible in places that are frequented by
people. Apart from garbage, other pollution which is dangerous for the development of
sustainable nature tourism spots is liquid waste from the bathroom or directly into the
water. Especially if the objects and natural tourist attractions are in the form of rivers,
waterfalls, cold springs, or hot springs. Water pollution is easy, and many tourists do
