Although, the mean cotton sales share of household income more than doubled, the estimation results only show small gains to mean consumption. Instead by relying on a micro-level approach our key findings are the following: At the district level improved accessibility led to changes in land allocation and in yields to Eastern Province of Zambia‘s most important cash crop – cotton. Conceptually the thesis extracts insights gained from growth theories and the traditional cross-country literature on the relationships between infrastructure provision and growth, while recognizing that this macro approach is inadequate for evaluating the effects at the sub-national level. Thus, the objective of the thesis is to empirically establish the structural relationship between RTI development, pro-poor rural growth and agricultural trade. These facts should lend credence to the perception of rural transport infrastructure (RTI) as an important policy instrument for rural development. The research also revealed the three classifications of concepts for environmental awareness were emotional, attitude, and practices of sustainability awareness.Poverty is largely found in the rural areas and rural employment is still mainly found in the agricultural sector. The Pearson correlation showed that there was positive but weak relationship between the level of environmental awareness in the concept of sustainable development and the practices, attitudes and moral values of sustainability. It indicated that the level of environmental awareness for the (i) female students were “higher” than the male students, (ii) science stream students were “higher” than the arts stream students, and the (iii) urban school students were “higher” than suburban school students.

The t-test analysis showed significant differences on the significant level of 95% (p < 0.05). Research outcomes showed that secondary school students had “high level” of environmental awareness in the concept of sustainable development. Methods of analyzing data were descriptive, t-test, Pearson correlation using SPSS software ver.

The research instrument used was the questionnaire, using Likert scale. Independent variables on the demographic factors were gender, types of subject streaming, and school locations. Dependents variables were the level of environmental awareness in the concept of sustainable development and practices, attitudes and moral values for sustainability.

The survey was conducted on 340 respondents (n = 340) of Form Four and Form Five students from urban and suburban area in the district of Hulu Langat, Selangor (Bandar Baru Bangi and Mukim Hulu Langat). This paper aims to identify the status on the level of environmental awareness in the concept of sustainable development among secondary school students.
