Abstract

Household plastic packaging waste, which we refer to as 'parasitic plastic' due to its perceived lack of usefulness for business, is generally disposed of by household members without processing. The quantity of this waste throughout Indonesia is very large and continues to increase, in line with household consumption growth. If this parasitic plastic waste continues to be left untreated, it will have long-term impacts on ecology and health; in the short term, it will affect cleanliness and the aesthetics of residential environments. The creation of incentive-based eco-bricks, by stuffing plastic packaging waste into 600 ml bottles weighing around 200 grams, and providing incentives of IDR 3,000 - 5,000 per bottle to participating communities. Additionally, the formation of organized ecobrick groups is a solution that can reduce daily plastic waste from households and decrease the scattered plastic waste that damages environmental aesthetics, cleanliness, and sustainability. Through participatory action methods, it was found that those involved in the creation of incentive-based eco-bricks tend to be predominantly women (housewives) and children from low-income families. Women involved in this activity (in terms of age) generally move slowly but consistently.

Abstract

Waste management should be carried out by implementing the concept of the 3Rs. Waste is generated in various places including in schools. Students frequently do not collect the waste into a trash can and often leave the waste in the schoolyard, desk drawers. Even though the slogan “keep the school clean” is instructed to the students, but they still often litter the school environment. This activity aims to improve students’ litter education in waste management by implementing the 3Rs and providing trash cans with attractive pictures to attract students to collect the waste into the trash cans. The method was participatory method and training to manage waste based on the concept of the 3Rs. The result shows that students were able to manage waste by applying the concept of the 3Rs. Students understood the concepts of the 3Rs, and created some products such as phone stand, hand soap dispenser, and reusable grocery bags. Trash cans with attractive pictures were provided in several areas around the school such as teachers’ room, canteen, and classroom. Students actively participated in waste management by applying the 3Rs. This activity beneficially reduces environmental pollution and simultaneously improves personal autonomy in environmental sustainability.

Abstract

One of the characteristics of a healthy environment is properly waste managed. Densely populated are areas where waste management needs to be improved. Plastic bottle is one type of waste that is widely available in densely populated areas. This waste, is difficult to decompose in the environment, and has not been managed optimally. The use of plastic bottle needs to be reduce the problem of waste, among others, it can be used as a vertical garden media. The methods are discourse, discussions, demonstrations, and practice how to create the plastic bottles make to vertical garden media. The participants are non-productive people, they are housewives. An important result of the activity is that the participants have the understand, skills and ability to make a vertical garden independently. Plastic bottle waste becomes useful, no longer becomes garbage. Plastic bottles are a growing media for vegetable and medicinal plants, that can beautify and green the environment in densely populated areas. It is hoped that participants will develop their potential in managing the environment starting from home, and sharing skills with the surrounding community.

Abstract

Plastic waste has created tiny particles called microplastics. Microplastics threaten life on this earth. Until now, the reduction of plastic waste has not been significant because it is not fast compared to its production. Only a few plastic producers want to intervene in this matter by withdrawing their products which have become waste from consumers. In general, consumers are left responsible for managing plastic packaging waste made by producers. Therefore, with the existing limitations, the residents, after being empowered with their assistants, made efforts to deal with plastic waste by using eco-bricks. As a result, one ecobric prevents 2 ounces of plastic waste from becoming pollutants. The more ecobric is made, then purchased at an agreed price, the budget will be divided among less fortunate families.

Abstract

Service quality is a key determinant of patient satisfaction and loyalty. While extensive evidence exists in hospital settings, findings in primary care remain fragmented, particularly in contexts undergoing health financing reforms. This review aims to synthesize empirical evidence on the relationships between SERVQUAL dimensions, patient satisfaction, and patient loyalty in primary care settings. Methods: A narrative review was conducted on 34 primary empirical studies published between 2020 and 2025. Studies examining SERVQUAL dimensions—tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy—in relation to satisfaction and loyalty were included. Data were extracted and synthesized narratively, supported by an evidence frequency mapping. Responsiveness, empathy, and tangibles consistently demonstrated strong associations with patient satisfaction. Satisfaction frequently mediated the relationship between service quality and loyalty, whereas direct effects of service quality on loyalty were inconsistent. Reliability and assurance showed variable effects across contexts. Most studies employed crosssectional designs and SEM-PLS analytical approaches. Evidence supports a service quality–satisfactionloyalty pathway in primary care. Contextual and financial factors, such as institutional financing models, may moderate these relationships and warrant further investigation using longitudinal and context-sensitive designs.

Abstract

Coastal areas are often faced with complex public health challenges due to environmental vulnerability and limited access to sanitation facilities. Poor sanitation contributes to a high prevalence of environment-related diseases such as diarrhea and malnutrition among children under five. This quasi-experimental study included 30 households with toddlers in Medan Belawan, Medan City. The Participatory Hygiene and Sanitation Transformation (PHAST) method was implemented to empower families in managing sanitation and hygiene practices. Data were collected through observation and assessment of household sanitation conditions before and after the intervention. Analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test at a 95% confidence interval due to non-normal data distribution. The results showed a significant improvement in household sanitation scores after the PHAST intervention (Z = -3.905; p < 0.05). Approximately 63.3% of households had increased scores, particularly in handwashing at critical times, waste management, as well as water and food storage practices, signifying a meaningful magnitude of behavioral change. However, this study was limited by its small sample size, absence of a control group, and short observation period, which hindered causal inference and generalizability. Despite the limitations, the evidences suggest that PHAST is a promising method for improving household sanitation management and hygiene behavior in coastal settings. Future studies with larger samples and controlled designs are recommended to assess sustainability and long-term health outcomes Keywords: Household Sanitation, Environmental Diseases, Coastal Area, PHAST
