Abstract

This Focus Group Discussion (FGD) aims to formulate strategies to strengthen the resilience of the Siponjot Village community through non-formal education and the planting of productive trees as efforts toward disaster mitigation and welfare improvement. Siponjot Village faces potential vulnerability to natural disasters such as landslides and floods, influenced by its geographical conditions and land-use patterns. Through the FGD, which involved village authorities, community leaders, farmer groups, and youth representatives, the need to enhance community capacity in environmental management through participatory educational approaches was identified. Non-formal education initiatives were designed to improve knowledge of disaster mitigation, land conservation, and skills in cultivating and managing productive trees. The planting of productive trees was selected as an integrated strategy because it strengthens soil structure, reduces disaster risks, and provides long-term economic benefits. The results of the FGD indicate increased collective awareness, collaborative commitment among stakeholders, and the development of a community-based action plan. Therefore, integrating non-formal education with productive tree planting represents a sustainable empowerment model to enhance both community resilience and rural welfare.

Abstract

The pollution from wastewater containing synthetic dyes and heavy metals is a serious environmental issue in Indonesia. The situation is associated with the lack of locally sourced membranes to simultaneously integrate physical filtration and chemical adsorption mechanisms (filtro-adsorption). Therefore, this research aims to develop a hybrid paper membrane based on abaca (Musa textilis) fiber pulp and rice husk ash silica using citric acid as a cross-linking agent for the removal of methylene blue (MB) dye and heavy metal ions (Cu²⁺ and Pb²⁺) from synthetic wastewater. The methodology required silica extraction from rice husk ash through an alkaline method and modification of the product with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES)s. There was also membrane fabrication with different variations of silica (0–20% of dry fiber weight) and citric acid (0–15%) contents, as well as characterization through X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). The results showed that the optimal membrane with 15% silica and 10% citric acid achieved a water flux of 285 L/m²·h·bar and removal efficiencies of >95% for MB (C₀ = 50 mg/L), 78.5 ± 3.2% for Cu²⁺, and 82.3 ± 2.8% for Pb²⁺ (C₀ = 10 mg/L). The two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) also confirmed that the variations in silica and citric acid content significantly affected the separation performance (p < 0.05). The results showed that the hybrid membrane derived from abundant local agricultural waste had potential as an environmentally friendly wastewater treatment technology.
