Strategi Edukasi Pengelolaan Sampah Oleh Kader PKK Untuk Meningkatkan Kebersihan Lingkungan di Desa Pulosari

Abstract

Waste management is a significant challenge in Indonesia, including in Pulosari Village, Bandung Regency. This study aims to analyze the waste management education strategy implemented by PKK Cadres to improve environmental cleanliness in Pulosari Village. Using a qualitative approach with descriptive methods, this research involved semi-structured interviews, observations, and literature studies. The results show that PKK Cadres play a crucial role in raising community awareness through various educational programs, including socialization at integrated health posts, religious gatherings, and community meetings. The strategies implemented include waste sorting training, cleanliness campaigns, and the "Clean Friday" program. The use of visual media such as banners and the effort to optimize social media are also part of the educational strategy. Despite facing challenges from outsiders who litter, this program has successfully increased community participation in waste management and environmental cleanliness maintenance. This study concludes that a comprehensive and sustainable educational strategy is highly effective in building collective awareness and changing community behavior towards waste management.
