Abstract

This study adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative techniques, to evaluate household hazardous waste management practices. Data were collected through surveys, in-depth interviews, and direct observations. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to measure community awareness levels and the effectiveness of waste management infrastructure, while thematic analysis was applied to qualitative data to identify key issues and patterns in community behavior. The findings highlight the effectiveness of community empowerment programs in improving knowledge and practices, with recognition of hazardous waste types increasing to 85%, understanding of associated hazards to 82%, and a reduction in littering behavior from 65% to 20%. These results underscore the importance of multi-stakeholder collaboration, infrastructure enhancement, and the integration of circular economy principles to achieve sustainable waste management. The study provides actionable, data-driven recommendations for reducing health and environmental risks associated with hazardous waste, emphasizing the need for continuous monitoring and community engagement.

Abstract

Community-based ecotourism (CBET) is one of the most popular ecotourism programs in the world. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach that aims to comprehensively describe the process of utilizing natural resources in developing ecotourism through community service programs. Data collection was conducted through several main techniques, namely participant observation, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions (FGDs). Focus group discussions were aimed at key informants who had knowledge and active involvement in ecotourism development, to explore experiences, challenges, and strategies used in program implementation. Thematic analysis techniques were used to identify patterns, main themes, and relationships between variables in the context of ecotourism based on the use of natural resources. The results of the quantitative descriptive analysis show that the level of community participation in the ecotourism activities is in the very high category, with an average score of 4.21 out of 5 and a participation frequency of 87.5%. High community involvement, the formation of institutions such as Pokdarwis, and increased environmental understanding indicate that the Community-Based Ecotourism model can be implemented effectively at the village level.
