4.0 Discussion
Analyzing the problem described above, it takes various approaches to find a solution.
Improving the quality of education can be done with three perspectives: an economic perspective, sociology, and education. The economic perspective means that educational activities must contribute highly to economic growth. In the context of quality, schooling is seen as the ability of schools to respond and meet the needs of pupils and the community.
Meanwhile, according to educational perspective, education activities should include improvements in the teaching and learning process and terms of the ability of graduates.
Quality of education viewed from the product side that is if the graduate can complete the study with the level of mastery of science and technology is good. Also, the community

gained satisfaction with the results of education because there is a match between the mastery of science and technology with the necessities of life. (Herawan, 2017)
Furthermore, the issue of education can also be analyzed by a sociological approach that is the social choice of Fakfak community about the direction of regional development as well as taking into consideration local customs and norms. Such choices will naturally impact on the achievement of local welfare improvements. (Sen, 2017)
5.0 Conclusion
The educational problems in Fakfak Regency are the lack of primary school teachers in remote areas, the high population with low literacy and low school enrollment rates. The cause of the issue is limited human resources and low community motivation in developing education. The causes of such problems are the limited development of science and technology, the development of art and the uneven distribution of the population. The solution of this problem is by improving the capacity of the community with an affirmative education program or sending the best high school graduates to continue their education at universities in major cities in Indonesia. Also, the government is actively developing the capacity of educational institutions through the procurement of professional teachers from other provinces as well as the development of teacher competence.

1.0 Introduction
One form of government support for the farmer's welfare is the provision of irrigation facilities. The irrigated rice fields are the most essential land resources supporting Indonesian rice production. The importance of irrigation on food security in Indonesia is 85% of rice production is sourced from irrigated rice fields and only about 11% which is rain-fed rice field (Small & Carruthers, 1991).(Pasandaran, 2016). As the built environment, the quality of the environment in irrigated areas is highly dependent on human activities. However, the agricultural activities as a dominant function of this area to trigger the occurrence of damage.
Based on the Hines theory, the factors that influence one's environmental behavior are environmental knowledge, the locus of control, environmental preservation motivation, attitudes toward the environment, social factors, skills of applying knowledge, and individual response. (Bamberg & Möser, 2007). Knowledge is the memory of an issue, manner or process. Bloom outlines three components of knowledge that are cognitive, affective, and psychomotoric components (Huitt, 2004). The cognitive component of emphasis on memory or trust, the affective component of emphasis on feelings, emotions, levels of acceptance or rejection, and psychomotor components on matters involving physical skills. Environmental knowledge is one of the factors that determine the behavior of society to preserve the environment. Consequently, the environmental education process that aims to change human behavior based on knowledge and understanding, awareness, values, beliefs, attitudes, and behavioral changes.

Locus of control is one's self-control of the physical environment and its social environment caused by internally and externally. Locus of control is a social learning theory that links the level of individual understanding to control their lives and the environment .Locus of Control or individual control center of action and belief in self-efficacy. The internal control focus is confident to be responsible for work behavior while the external control locus is in the form of an impulse to show the behavior that comes from outside.
Individual beliefs stem from luck and opportunity.(Reynolds & Miller, 2015)
Furthermore, the attitude or tendency to act as a response to a particular object. A person's attitude can be measured by three components such as feeling (affection), thinking (cognition) and predisposing a person's actions (conations) to the surrounding environment.
The behavior of a person takes the form of action as a reflection of the individual formed by the desire or need.(Chen & Chai, 2010). Specifically, Hungerford and Volk revealed that environmental behavior is a proof of one's responsibility to the environment.
This study aims to determine the influence of environmental knowledge, the locus of control, and environmental attitudes simultaneously to the behavior of village irrigation farmers preserve the environment in Maros regency.
