Abstract

The Kampung Emas Tourism Area, renowned for its traditional eateries offering authentic Javanese cuisine, has become a favored destination for tourists. However, the surge in tourist numbers has contributed to increased organic waste. Addressing this issue is crucial to prevent environmental problems and negative perceptions of Kampung Emas. The community service initiative aims to introduce rapid composting technology as an innovative solution to enhance understanding and effectiveness in waste management within Kampung Emas. The activity was conducted on August 12, 2023, involving 15 managers from the tourism sector. Emphasizing organic waste management, the initiative introduced the innovative solution of rapid composting technology. Evaluation was carried out through questionnaires distributed before and after the activity. Participants grasped organic waste management concepts yet demonstrated a greater understanding of composting technology. The evaluation results showed a significant improvement post-activity, with an understanding rate of 83% for waste management concepts and 60% for composting technology. In conclusion, the initiative successfully increased knowledge and understanding among Kampung Emas management regarding rapid composting technology, providing a solid foundation for implementing more effective and sustainable culinary waste management practices.

Abstract

The community in Pedukuhan Bakung, Yogyakarta, faces challenges in managing used cooking oil waste, which is often improperly disposed of, leading to environmental pollution. This community service program aimed to address this issue by empowering local youth through training on converting used cooking oil into valuable products. The training was attended by 10 youths from Pedukuhan Bakung, who gained an understanding of the environmental impacts of used cooking oil and practical skills in producing aromatherapy candles from purified used cooking oil. The program included socialization on the environmental impacts of used cooking oil, demonstrations of the purification process, and hands-on practice in making aromatherapy candles. Based on questionnaire evaluations, the program achieved an average success rate of 89.5%, with material clarity and direct benefits rated at 92.5%. Participants gave the highest rating of 95% for gaining new insights, reflecting the program's success in enhancing understanding of the circular economy. However, participants’ motivation to utilize used cooking oil as a valuable product still requires improvement, with a score of 85%. The training results demonstrated a significant increase in participants' environmental awareness and skills, as well as new economic opportunities through the utilization of used cooking oil. Several participants expressed interest in independently producing aromatherapy candles as an additional business opportunity. Follow-up training focusing on product diversification and marketing strategies is recommended to maximize the economic impact. This program successfully integrated environmental and economic aspects within the circular economy concept, providing the potential for sustainable benefits for the community.
