Abstract

The increase in the volume of vehicular traffic leads to faster damage to road pavements. The use of additives in asphalt mixtures is believed to improve the properties of the mixture so as to increase resistance to damage. This research aims to develop an asphalt mixture by utilizing plastic waste as an additive. The plastic waste used is a type of Polyethylene (PE) and Polypropylene (PP). The test was carried out by varying the content of plastic additives in the asphalt mixture by 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10% to the weight of asphalt. The asphalt mixture is tested for marshall characteristics, indirect tensile strength test, durability test, and wheel tracking test. Test results show the addition of plastic additives up to 8% increases stability, strength, durability, and resistance to deformation of asphalt mixtures. The improved performance of the mixture is thought to be due to the interaction between plastic and asphalt which results in a stronger bond. This research proves that the use of plastic waste as an additive material can be a solution to improve road pavement performance.

Abstract

Strong science literacy skills are an important foundation for the younger generation. This study aims to examine how STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) learning can be used to improve science literacy in elementary school students, especially in rural areas. This research uses a community service approach. This community service activity involves the implementation of STEM learning programs designed specifically for elementary school students in rural areas. This program integrates science, technology, engineering, and mathematics-based learning activities. The result of this study is STEM learning in improving the science literacy of elementary school students in rural areas. The findings of this study can contribute to the development of more innovative and effective learning practices to improve students' science literacy, especially in rural areas. This research is also expected to encourage synergy between academics and the community in an effort to improve the quality of science education in rural areas.

Abstract

The problem of plastic waste is an increasingly complex environmental issue due to the increasing consumption of single-use plastics and the low level of community-based management. This study aims to analyze the use of plastic waste as a creative economy product through a community-based recycling approach, a sustainable solution that integrates environmental, social, and economic aspects. This approach positions the community as the primary actor in the waste management process, from sorting and processing to the creation of economically valuable products, thereby encouraging active participation and increasing environmental awareness. The research method used was a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving field observations, in-depth interviews with community actors, and analysis of documentation related to community-based recycling activities. The results show that utilizing plastic waste through the creative economy not only reduces the volume of plastic waste but also has a positive impact on increasing community income, strengthening social capacity, and fostering local economic independence. The resulting products possess aesthetic and functional value that is competitive in the local market. The study's conclusions confirm that the community-based recycling approach is an effective and sustainable strategy for managing plastic waste while simultaneously encouraging the development of the community's creative economy. Therefore, policy support, ongoing mentoring, and collaboration between the government, academia, and the private sector are needed to expand the implementation of this model as part of environmentally conscious development and community empowerment.
