INTRODUCTION
Theoretical Framework
Third edition of Theory on sustainability (Felix Ekardt,
2016). This theory emphasizes the long-term well-being of
the campus community by integrating social, economic, and
environmental sustainability. It involves initiatives
such as energy conservation, waste reduction, sustainable
transportation, and green building practices.
Felix Ekardt’s “Theory on Sustainability” provides a
comprehensive framework for understanding sustainability.
This theory is applicable to my study on greening the
campus. Also, it can serve as a valuable guide. Ekardt's
theory emphasizes the interconnectedness of
environmental, social, and economic aspects of
sustainability.
In the context of campus greening, this theory is
applicable to ensure a holistic approach. Consider how
sustainability efforts on your campus should not only
focus on environmental improvements, like green spaces
and energy efficiency, but also encompass social aspects
such as community engagement and equity, as well as
economic factors like cost-effectiveness and long-term
viability.
Ekardt’s theory encourages a systems thinking approach,
which can help us to analyze the complex interactions
between different elements of the campus greening
activities. By considering sustainability in a
multidimensional way, you can develop a more robust and
inclusive strategy that benefits both your campus and the
broader community.
Environmental Psychology Theory (Harold Proshansky and
William Ittelson,1960) This theory emphasizes the
interaction between individuals and their physical
environment. It suggests that aesthetically pleasing and
green school surroundings positively influence students’
behavior, attitudes, and academic performance.
Environmental Psychology Theory can be highly relevant to
this study on greening the campus because this theory
explores how the physical environment impacts human
behavior and well-being. In the context of campus
greening, this theory is applicable furthermore it
understand how changes in the campus environment, such as
adding green spaces, sustainable design, or eco-friendly
initiatives, can influence student and staff behavior.
Conceptual Framework
This study based on the concept of the Campus Greening
that the independent variable has created changes on the
dependent variable which is the Factors of Sustainability
Future of Senior High Students.

Definition of Terms
The term use in the study are defined as both
operationally and conceptually:
Beauty. It is defined as a feature of objects that makes
these objects pleasurable to perceive. Such objects
include landscapes, sunsets, humans and works of art.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research Design
The study employed the descriptive research design
that endeavor to measure skills or abilities based on a
broad class of survey data. As viewed by Garcia (2002)..
descriptive method describes with emphasis what actually
exalts such as current conditions, practices, situation
or any phenomena base on the impression or reaction of
the respondent.
Sampling Technique
For the population, the data are taken from the
master list of class adviser of sections. Stratified
Random sampling is used in the study and to determine the
sample size
Slovin's formula is used.
n=N/(1+Ne)2
Where:
n= sample size
N= population
E= margin of error at 5%
Data Analysis
To analyze the collected data, the appropriate
statistical test will be used are as follows:
To determine the students personal information such
as name, age and sex, frequency count and percentage
distribution were used.
The formula for percentage is:
P = f x 100
Where:
P = Percentage
F= Frequency
N = Total number of response
