Abstract

This community service project aimed to promote environmental awareness and sustainable waste management practices among primary school students at SDN Kuin Cerucuk V Banjarmasin. The program targeted students aged 8–12, a critical developmental stage for instilling environmentally responsible behaviour. Using a participatory approach, the activities included educational sessions, practical waste sorting exercises, and the installation of visual learning aids. Pre- and post-intervention assessments were conducted through direct observation and questionnaires to evaluate knowledge acquisition and behavioural changes. The results indicated a substantial improvement in students’ understanding of waste types and segregation practices. Prior to the intervention, 71.4% of students demonstrated limited knowledge, which shifted significantly post-intervention, with 71.4% achieving the highest knowledge category. Observable behavioural changes included consistent use of segregated waste bins and increased attentiveness to school cleanliness. The active involvement of teachers and school management contributed to the program’s success. However, sustainability challenges remain, including limited time for long-term mentoring, resource constraints among staff, and the absence of community-level waste infrastructure. Despite these obstacles, the project demonstrates that early environmental education, supported by collaboration and practical engagement, can effectively foster long-term behavioural change and lay the foundation for an environmentally conscious.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the reasons for not using rice straw in the rice field landscape of Mandikapau Barat Village, Banjar Regency. Landscape ecology data extracted from Google Maps. Types, rice production, farmer profiles, and knowledge of rice straw utilization were identified through interviews. The relationship between profile and reasons for not using rice straw was determined by bivariate analysis. Results showed that fragments’ shape is generally elongated (70%) and others hexagonal (30%). The corridor in dry rice fields is 40-50 cm narrow, while in wet rice fields, the embankment width is about 60-80 cm. The average ownership of rainfed rice fields was about ±3,917.6 m2. From nine rice field fragments observed, the average area was ±14,788.4 m2. The most widely grown local rice varieties are Siam Pandak Laut and Siam Cantik. The local rice production rate reached ±2.6 Ton Ha-1, while rice straw production was ±3.6 Ton Ha-1. Most respondents are women (76%), smallholders (80%), and aged 40-50 years (48%). Most respondents (84%) stated rice straw could not be used and had been passed down from generation to generation (64%). There was a relationship between gender and knowledge of straw utilization (p=0.036<0.050) and reasons for not using rice straw (p=0.021<0.050).
