Abstract

Waste management has emerged as a critical environmental issue, particularly in rural areas where population growth and changing consumption patterns have led to increased waste generation. This research focuses on the implementation of community-based waste management in villages, aiming to understand its impact on environmental health and the factors influencing program success. Utilizing a quantitative analytic approach with a cross-sectional research design, the study surveyed 4,345 family heads, with a sample size of 98 participants.The findings revealed that 54.1% of respondents did not engage in waste management activities. Among these non-participants, 70.4% had low educational attainment (elementary or junior high school). Additionally, 53.1% cited a lack of infrastructure as a barrier to participation, while 64.3% reported poor knowledge of waste management practices.The results indicated that infrastructure availability significantly influences community participation, with a p-value of 0.006 and an odds ratio (OR) of 3.911. Furthermore, knowledge levels were crucial; those with inadequate knowledge were less likely to participate (69.2% did not engage), whereas those with good knowledge showed higher participation rates (63%).Effective waste management is essential for improving environmental health by reducing pollution and disease risks. Therefore, enhancing education and infrastructure is vital to encourage community involvement in waste management initiatives. This study underscores the importance of addressing knowledge gaps and infrastructural challenges to foster sustainable waste management practices in rural communities.

Abstract

The implementation of the Clean and Healthy Living Behaviour (PHBS) programme in the elementary school environment constitutes a significant preventive measure in the reduction of the incidence of infectious diseases. The present research employs a descriptive qualitative approach through a participatory-based community service method that focuses on the implementation and evaluation of the effectiveness of the PHBS Program in preventing infectious diseases in the primary school environment. The target audience comprised 30 students in grades IV to VI, three homeroom teachers, and School Health Unit (UKS) administrators, all of whom participated in every stage of the activity. The qualitative data was analysed descriptively by comparing pretest and posttest scores, while qualitative data were analysed using data reduction techniques, thematic categorisation and narrative interpretation to obtain a more holistic picture of changes in students' knowledge, attitudes, behaviour, and collective awareness of the importance of healthy living. The programme has been demonstrated to be effective in the transformation of theoretical understanding into concrete habits within the school environment through the implementation of interactive, visual-based, and hands-on educational approaches, including role play and simulation. Its success has been demonstrated as a preventative strategy against infectious diseases, as well as an effective character-building approach for students in maintaining hygiene and health independently and sustainably.
