<![CDATA[This research analyzes the management of environmental awareness messages regarding waste through the Instagram account @cibunutfinest, managed by the Kampung Cibunut community in Bandung. The background of this research stems from the high volume of waste in Bandung City, reaching 1,496 tons per day, Kampung Cibunut has successfully transformed from a slum area into an environmental education tourism village through the zero waste concept and Kang Pisman Movement. This study employs a qualitative approach with thematic analysis within an interpretive paradigm. Data was collected through Instagram content observation, in depth interviews with four informants consisting of the community founder, account manager, RW chairman, and a local resident, as well as documentation. The research findings indicate that @cibunutfinest manages messages by combining pragmatic functions and constitutive functions through educational and persuasive visual content strategies. The message production process is organic, community based, and collaborative, utilizing the ATM (Observe, Imitate, Modify) approach. Message distribution employs a multi-channel strategy that combines Instagram features (Stories, Reels, Feed) with WhatsApp groups, YouTube, and door-to-door education to reach all community segments. This research enriches the literature on social media-based environmental communication and provides a practical model for other communities in building environmental awareness through digital platforms.
