Abstract

Belawan watershed is one of the watersheds that have a primary role in North Sumatra Province. The flow of the Belawan watershed crosses 2 (two) regencies/cities, i.e., Deli Serdang Regency and Medan City. In more detail, Medan City is located in the Belawan Hilir Sub-watershed. Several main rivers in Medan have been polluted and shallowed, as a result of people's habit of littering the river. People who live around the Belawan watershed have a significant role in the sustainability of the river and its ecosystem services. This study aims to analyze the level of community knowledge of river ecosystem services in the Belawan Hilir sub-watershed and to measure the correlation between the community knowledge level and the behavior of river littering. The respondents were sampled using Simple Random Sampling, while the number of samples was calculated using the Slovin formula. Data was collected through structured interviews by compiling a list of questions (questionnaires). The correlation between community knowledge levels and behavior of river littering was determined using spearman correlation analysis. The community knowledge level was 63% (good category). There was a moderate-positive correlation between the community knowledge level and the behavior of river littering (0.512 correlation coefficient). Community awareness can be increased through online-based socialization using social media or by providing more waste management training programs.

Abstract

Gunung Leuser National Park (GLNP) is one of Indonesia's most important conservation areas. Around GLNP, there are a group manages bamboo forests in Pamah Simelir Hamlet. This activity aims to carry out outreach activities to increase the institutional capacity of sustainable bamboo communities to support the management of GLNP buffer areas in mitigating climate change. The activity methods include lecture methods, group discussions, brainstorming, role-playing, collective problem-solving, questionnaires and interviews with groups, and Focus Group Discussions (FGD). The results of the training activities showed that the group's technical skills had improved, especially in managing bamboo forests as part of conservation and climate change mitigation efforts. They can apply the techniques taught, such as planting and maintaining bamboo in a sustainable manner, as well as using bamboo as a raw material with economic value. Increasing these skills can reduce pressure on forest areas and improve the welfare of local communities. The training carried out has succeeded in positively boosting the institutional capacity of the Bambu Lestari Community, both in technical, managerial, and collaboration aspects. This activity can become a reference for local governments and stakeholders in adopting an inclusive and sustainability-oriented approach while involving local communities as partners in preserving the environment and facing the challenges of climate change.
