Ecobrik Education as a Community-Based Waste Management Management Solution [Edukasi Ecobrik Sebagai Solusi Manajemen Pengelolaan Sampah Berbasis Masyarakat]

Abstract

The environment can be interpreted as everything existing around humans and affecting the development of their life. A clean environment is expected by everyone but it becomes a monolithic challenge to actualize. However, people’s bustle and other reasons may emerge as the primary factors of ignoring their surroundings, notably the home environment. Ciangir final landfill located in Tamansari village, Tamansari subdistrict, Tasikmalaya town is the sole final landfill for the entire people in Tasikmalaya town. For this reason, this program aimed at educating people through Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) approach to managing garbage. In particular, it prioritizes the utilization of assets and potentials owned by the community in their surroundings. Since people are a valuable asset for a village, optimizing human resources (e.g. family welfare program women community) through skills mentoring and training about Ecobrick remains pivotal.
