Abstract

The coastal waste problem in Pariaman City, driven by rising plastic volumes, limited infrastructure, and disposal behaviors, threatens ecosystems and the tourism sector and requires coordinated intervention. This community service aims to implement an integrated cleanup with waste sorting and initial processing, while strengthening community capacity and environmental awareness. The “Coastal Clean-Up Campaign” applied a community-based participatory approach through coordinated clean-ups, source-level sorting, and initial composting. A total of 150 participants, including lecturers, students, village officials, and tourism stakeholders, were involved across 200-meter zones, supported by student-led scientific monitoring, before–after documentation, and the handover of bins and sorted waste to village authorities. The results indicate that the program was implemented effectively, with active stakeholder participation, visible environmental improvements, and the collection of 250 kg of sorted plastic and paper, some of which demonstrated economic value. This study presents a practical and replicable participatory model that integrates mass clean-up activities with source control, local governance support, and tourism stakeholder engagement. The findings highlight the importance of strengthening technical capacity, institutional support, periodic monitoring, and circular economy pathways to ensure sustainability. The program also increased environmental awareness and fostered local waste management groups, with outcomes that can support policy development and replication in other coastal tourism areas.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effects of self-regulated learning, instructor support, and campus climate on maritime competence among maritime cadets, with psychological well-being as a moderating variable. The study employed a quantitative explanatory research design. The population consisted of 670 students from Cohorts VII, VIII, IX, and X at Politeknik Pelayaran Sumatera Barat, Indonesia. A pilot test was conducted with 100 cadets, while the main study involved 570 respondents. Data were collected using a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) using SmartPLS 3. The findings revealed that instructor support had a positive and significant effect on maritime competence. In contrast, self-regulated learning, campus climate, and psychological well-being did not have significant direct effects on maritime competence. Furthermore, psychological well-being did not moderate the relationships between self-regulated learning, instructor support, campus climate, and maritime competence. These findings indicate that instructor support is the most influential factor in enhancing cadets' maritime competence within maritime vocational higher education. This study contributes theoretically by extending the understanding of maritime competence through the integration of individual, instructional, environmental, and psychological factors into a single structural model. Practically, the findings provide valuable insights for maritime higher education institutions to strengthen instructor competence and instructional quality in order to improve maritime competence among cadets.

Abstract

This study addresses persistent waste-management challenges in coastal urban areas by optimizing the performance of waste-processing equipment at the Reduce-Reuse-Recycle (TPS3R) facility in Pariaman City. It was conducted through a Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM)–based repair and preventive maintenance program. The intervention combined field observation, identification of critical components, operator technical training, and the implementation of a structured maintenance schedule adapted to local operational conditions. Implementation involved collaboration among TPS3R management, local community members, and technical staff from Politeknik Pelayaran Sumatera Barat. Data were collected through direct observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation of maintenance activities. Post-intervention evaluation demonstrated substantive gains in machine processing efficiency, up to an 80% improvement relative to baseline and a marked reduction in breakdown frequency. Operators showed measurable increases in technical competence and consistent adherence to Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for safe and effective machine operation. The findings underscore the value of vocational higher-education–community partnerships for technology adaptation, capacity building, and fostering a maintenance culture that supports sustainable urban waste systems. The program represents a scalable, replicable model for similar coastal contexts and contributes to Sustainable Development Goals 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production).

Abstract

This Community Service Program aimed to enhance the understanding and practical skills of teachers and students at SMK Pelayaran Padang regarding the application of HSSEC water treatment as a maritime engineering learning medium that supports sustainable environmental management. The activity was conducted on August 5th, 2026, at the Merchant Marine Polytechnic of West Sumatra through a series of educational sessions, socialization, demonstrations of the water treatment installation, interactive discussions, and participant response evaluation. The materials covered the concepts, functions, benefits, and principles of water treatment, the application of environmentally friendly technologies, and their relevance to the Humanist, Smart, Sustainable, Eco-Friendly Campus (HSSEC) principles and Net Zero Emission. Evaluation was conducted using response questionnaires administered to teachers and students to assess the relevance, understanding, perceived benefits, applicability, and acceptance of the program. The results showed that the teachers’ responses reached an average of 100% across all indicators, indicating that the activity was highly relevant to supporting learning needs, strengthening competencies, and utilizing the Manual Book as supplementary teaching material. Meanwhile, the students’ responses achieved an average of 98.83%, indicating increased understanding, interest, environmental awareness, and motivation to learn about water treatment and environmentally friendly technologies. The activity also generated recommendations for further development, including regular water quality monitoring, testing of physical, chemical, and microbiological parameters, improvement of safety aspects, and further investigation into solar energy integration. Thus, this Community Service contributes to strengthening the synergy among vocational education, technological innovation, and sustainable environmental management
