Modelling carbon footprint on smartphone usage for social networking

The smartphone usage seems to be an important thing in a present day. The social network is also one of the crucial application (apps) used on smartphone. This usage increasingly impacts on the environmental quality. The more social network usage over the smartphone, the more carbon emission rate increased. Thus, the amount of carbon emission depends on pattern of personal's usage that predicted behavior of smartphone use. Therefore, to propose the model of smartphone usage behavior, it is required to determine the carbon footprint number of pattern of usage. This research data, 400 college students, were collected. The results illustrated that the smartphone usage behavior related to social network is affected by the carbon emission of smartphone usage pattern with predictive value 0.534 at statistically significant level of 0.01. The correlation level is at moderate level.
