Abstract

The “Plastic-Free Campus” program at FKIP Pattimura University was implemented to address the increasing use of single-use plastics and low ecological awareness among students. The program aimed to build an environmentally friendly campus culture through education, campaigns, and practical strategies for reducing plastic waste. The method applied was Participatory Action Research (PAR), involving participatory observation, socialization, Focus Group Discussions (FGD), training, and direct mentoring. Results showed a 32-point increase in students’ understanding between pre-test and post-test, a 23% reduction in plastic waste in the canteen, and the emergence of new habits such as bringing personal utensils and sorting waste. The program demonstrated that educational and participatory approaches effectively foster sustainable ecological behavior among students. It implies the need for institutional policy support and program replication to expand environmental initiatives in higher education.

Abstract

This community service program was implemented in the coastal area of Ambon City, which is highly vulnerable to tsunamis and coastal abrasion. It was motivated by the low level of geographical literacy and disaster awareness among high school students. The aim was to enhance spatial understanding and disaster preparedness through a participatory approach combining local mapping, simple geospatial technology, and local wisdom. The method employed a Participatory Action Research model consisting of problem identification, teacher-student training, participatory mapping, mitigation simulation, and impact evaluation. The results indicated a significant improvement in students’ ability to interpret risk maps and evacuation routes, as well as the creation of locally contextualized mitigation learning modules. This program contributes both conceptually and practically to strengthening disaster education in coastal schools and encourages replication in other regions with supportive policies and simple technologies
