Waste is still a problem in Indonesia. The increase in population causes the volume of waste to continue to grow, in Karangmangu Village, Banyumas Regency. Data on the increase in the volume of waste in Banyumas Regency reached 21.4%. The volume of inorganic waste is greater than organic waste because Karangmangu Village is a tourism buffer area in Baturraden. This study aimed to describe the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of cadres in the management of inorganic waste. The method used was descriptive qualitative. The research subjects were obtained using a purposive technique by conducting interviews with cadres as the main research subjects, midwives, and supporting informants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and documentation. The results showed that the cadres had understood the definition, types, management, and negative impacts of inorganic waste. Based on their attitudes, the cadres consider the case of handling inorganic waste to be not optimal. In practice, they have sorted inorganic waste, managed a waste bank, made bricks, and produced handicrafts. Strategies to overcome obstacles in waste management are optimizing the facilities and infrastructure for the procurement of waste banks, as well as training more people to make handicrafts and market handicraft products. This study concludes that the presence of village cadres is able to increase public awareness in waste management.

The study was conducted to preliminary evaluate knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of communities regarding solid waste management in Vinh Trung commune, Vi Thuy district, Hau Giang province using a questionnaire survey. The results of this study show that the amount of solid waste was generated ranged from 0.5-1.2 kg per household per day with an average of 0.24 kg per capita per day. The household solid waste contained organic waste (85.43%), reusable waste (13.94%), and other components (0.64%). Most people (> 90%) have knowledge about the effects of solid waste disposal on environmental quality, and the benefits of source separation via television and radio. Local authorities have not done well in improving communities’ awareness. The participants have very good attitudes in being willing to sort, pay the garbage collection fee, help each other to increase public awareness. However, the investigated results of the practice survey were contrary to the results with knowledge and attitudes. Therefore, it is very important to provide the public with solid waste management infrastructure and simultaneously support the local authorities in raising propaganda about waste separation and recycling activities.

Kampung Hijau Mandiri is one of Tangerang Government’s Programs to increase public awareness for a clean, green, and beautiful surrounding. Ninety-eight of Kampung Hijau Mandiri were formed throughout Tangerang’s Sub-Districts, one of which is in RT 01 RW 06, Kreo Sub-District. Criteria for Kampung Hijau Mandiri include a lively, comfortable and clean village with waste sorting initiatives. Kreo, one of the densely populated villages in Tangerang, has 22,837 inhabitants. Waste generated in RT 01 RW 06, Kreo, Tangerang is around 2,040 liters/day, quite large and can be reduced. Presently, household wastes in RT 01 RW 06 are still managed conventionally using the collection and disposal system. The economic potential of household organic and inorganic waste has not been optimally utilized. Organic waste management through composting (Takakura baskets) and non-organic waste management through waste banks are considered appropriate for processing household wastes. Hence, the community develops a new habit of sorting and processing waste into productive means, reducing waste generation transported to landfills. The waste management educational mentoring program was attended by 14 people, especially housewives and Posyandu cadres, through presentations and question and answer. This activity has great potential to endure as housewives and Posyandu cadres in RT 01 RW 06 Kreo Sub-District are influential household stakeholders in their environment. Residents of RT 01 RW 06 Kreo Sub-District agreed to initiate waste bank establishments. This program is expected to increase citizen’s involvement in waste management. RT 01 RW 06 Kreo is an exemplary Kampung Hijau Mandiri.

Abstrak.  Volume sampah di kota Bandung meningkat seiring dengan pertambahan jumlah penduduk.  TPA sudah tidak dapat menampung lebih banyak lagi, akibatnya sampah meluap dan berserakan tertiup angin. Kondisi ini menimbulkan pemandangan yang kurang sedap dan  bau yang tidak enak, sangat mengganggu masyarakat.. Pengelolaan sampah di RW 06 desa Sukamenak belum terorganisasi., dikarenakan belum adanya sosialisasi pengelolaan sampah ditambah dengan  kesadaran masyarakat yang masih kurang. Politeknik Negeri Bandung (Polban), tergerak untuk memberikan edukasi pada masyarakat melalui kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat (PKM). Peran tim PKM dalam usaha pemanfaatan dan pengelolaan sampah ini meliputi ; (1) peningkatkan pengetahuan masyarakat dalam pengelolaan dan pemanfaatan sampah mulai  dari unit  terkecil yaitu keluarga dengan program 3R (Reuse, Reduce, Recycle) ; (2) pelatihan dan pendampingan pengelolaan  sampah anorganik dan sampah organik secara efektif ; (3) membangun kemandirian masyarakat dalam pengelolaan sampah melalui  pendirian bank sampah “Kebon Kalapa Berseri”. Pengelolaan sampah anorganik menjadi barang kebutuhan sehari-hari  atau dapat dijual untuk meningkatkan pendapatan.  Sampah organik dibuat menjadi pupuk sebagai media tanam untuk penghijauan. Bank sampah dapat memperkecil volume sampah pada TPA dan tabungannya dapat diambil untuk tambahan  ekonomi keluarga. Keberlangsungan bank sampah sangat bergantung pada komitmen masyarakat dan pengurus.   Kata Kunci : sampah organik, sampah anorganik, bank sampah  COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT THROUGH WASTE MANAGEMENT IN SUKAMENAK VILLAGE Abstract. The volume of waste in the city of Bandung increases along with the population growth. The TPA is no longer able to accommodate any more, as a result the garbage overflows and is scattered in the wind. This condition creates an unpleasant sight and an unpleasant smell, very disturbing the community. Waste management in RW 06, Sukamenak village is not yet organized, because there is no socialization of waste management coupled with less public awareness. Bandung State Polytechnic (Polban), moved to provide education to the community through community service activities (PKM). The role of the PKM team in the waste utilization and management efforts includes; (1) increasing community knowledge in waste management and utilization starting from the smallest unit, namely the family with the 3R program (Reuse, Reduce, Recycle); (2) training and assistance in effective management of inorganic waste and organic waste; (3) building community independence in waste management through the establishment of a waste bank "Kebon Kalapa Berseri". Inorganic waste management becomes daily necessities or can be sold to increase income. Organic waste is made into fertilizer as a planting medium for reforestation. The waste bank can reduce the volume of waste in the TPA and the savings can be taken for additional family economy. The sustainability of the waste bank is very dependent on the commitment of the community and management. Keywords: organic waste, inorganic waste, waste bank

The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding rabies in the El Jadida region, Morocco. We conducted a cross-sectional survey using a structured questionnaire among randomly selected residents across 24 study sites. In total, 407 respondents took part in the survey. The majority (367, 92%) were male and had no formal education (270, 66%). Some (118, 29%) believed that rabies does not affect humans. Most respondents (320, 79%) were aware that vaccination could prevent rabies, but nevertheless did not vaccinate their dogs (264, 64.9%) and allowed their dogs to roam freely in search of food. Some (52.8%) would visit traditional healers for treatment in the event of a dog bite incident. Age and educational level were found to be significantly associated with knowledge, attitudes, and practices (p < 0.05). Although respondents demonstrated some level of knowledge about rabies, overall this study reveals critical gaps in their attitudes and practices. These shortcomings may be associated with a low level of education. Therefore, decision-makers need a new approach to control rabies, with a special focus on public awareness and health education, in order to sustain rabies control programs.

The problem of waste in Batu City can threaten tourism sector in this city. The Waste Management System Program is held by the Environment Agency (DLH) Batu City seems to be unable to access waste problems in the upstream sector, particularly  household waste from residential settlements. This lack capacity of the program followed up by DLH by organizing a waste bank program through the establishment of the Community Waste Bank (KBS) Kartini Sejati which coordinated around 60 waste banks in Batu City to be involved in waste management.This study aims to explain the involvement of KBS Kartini Sejati in waste management in co-production and the obstacles faced by it. The concept of co-production refer to an alternative concept in the implementation of public services where implementation focuses on the dominant role of the community, while the government or other parties such as the private sector are only facilitators. This research  use qualitative method by utilizing data from observations, interviews and documentation. The results of this study indicate that KBS Kartini Sejati in several of its activities which include training in waste management, waste management, and "Sapu Bersih Sanpah Nyemplung Kali" (Saberpungli) have applied the principles of co-production. It is due to those activities have implemented six co-production principles, namely the development of community capacity, mutually beneficial relationships between actors, network development, the government as a facilitator and catalyst, and the community as an important asset in implementing services. However, in its implementation, the waste bank program still has several obstacles such as the limitations of the budgetary resources, the decreasing level of public awareness to be active in waste banks, and the lack of innovation in waste managementKeywords: Co-production; waste management, waste bank
