Abstract

The village of Jebak, located in the Tembesi District of Batanghari Regency, has an abundance of coconut trees. Generally, the villagers focus solely on processing the flesh of the fruit, while by-products such as coconut husks and shells are left unused and end up as waste. This activity aims to educate the community on how to process coconut shells into briquettes, offering an alternative to fossil fuels and a business opportunity to enhance the local economy. This program is implemented using the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) method through Kukerta (KKN) as a form of community service that emphasizes independence, creativity, and awareness of the community’s existing assets. The process of this community service activity is carried out through several stages: observation, planning, socialization, demonstration, and evaluation. The results show that 80% of the villagers in Jebak lack knowledge about briquettes. Therefore, socialization regarding briquette production is a crucial step in introducing the potential of local resources. Through hands-on demonstrations, the community can develop practical skills for independently producing briquettes. This community empowerment program should continue and expand by involving more community members and educational institutions so that skill development can contribute more significantly to the local economy and environmental preservation in Jebak. In this way, the people of Jebak are expected not only to achieve economic independence but also to contribute positively to environmental sustainability. Desa Jebak yang terletak di Kecamatan Tembesi Kabupaten Batanghari banyak ditemui pohon kelapa. Umumnya masyarakat desa hanya fokus mengolah hasil daging buah. Sedangkan hasil samping dari buah seperti sabut dan tempurung kelapa tidak dimanfaatkan dan berakhir menjadi limbah. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk mengedukasi masyarakat mengenai pengolahan limbah tempurung kelapa menjadi briket sebagai alternatif bahan bakar fosil dan sebagai peluang usaha untuk meningkatkan perekonomian daerah. Program ini dilaksanakan menggunakan metode Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) melalui Kukerta (KKN) sebagai bentuk pengabdian kepada masyarakat yang berfokus pada kemandirian, kreatif dan terbentuknya kesadaran atas aset yang dimiliki oleh masyarakat. Proses kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini dilakukan melalui beberapa tahapan yaitu pengamatan, perencanaan, sosialisasi, demonstrasi dan evaluasi. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa 80% masyarakat Desa Jebak belum memiliki pengetahuan tentang briket. Sehingga sosialisasi mengenai pembuatan briket menjadi langkah penting untuk memperkenalkan potensi sumber daya lokal di daerah tersebut. Melalui demonstrasi yang dilakukan masyarakat dapat mengembangkan keterampilan praktis dalam memproduksi briket secara mandiri. Program pemberdayaan masyarakat ini hendaknya terus dilanjutkan dan diperluas dengan melibatkan lebih banyak masyarakat serta institusi pendidikan, sehingga peningkatan keterampilan dapat berkontribusi lebih besar terhadap perekonomian lokal dan pelestarian lingkungan di Desa Jebak. Dengan demikian, masyarakat di Desa Jebak diharapkan tidak hanya mandiri secara ekonomi, tetapi juga berkontribusi positif terhadap lingkungan.

Abstract

Road dust is a prevalent source of microplastics found in the atmosphere. The primary contributors to the presence of microplastics in dust are vehicle traffic, road surfaces, tire erosion, and road paint. The objective of this study is to categorize the various forms of microplastic pollution present in the road dust surrounding the Angso Duo Jambi market. The research employed a random sampling technique, specifically selecting 4 sample location locations. The total aggregation of microplastics amounted to 1.67 grams. Sample B exhibited the highest prevalence of microplastics, with a distribution of 2.78 grams in the vicinity to the right of Jambi's Angso Duo Market. The analysis of microplastics was conducted using a binocular microscope, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The microscopic analysis of microplastic reveals the presence of several forms, namely fibres, fragments, and films. The FTIR study results indicate that polyethylene is the prevailing polymer type. The chemical composition and types of microplastic polymers found near the Angso Duo Jambi market, as determined by the results collected, include polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene. The environmental impact of microplastics is intricately linked to the characteristics of the microplastics themselves, including their kind, size, concentration, and duration of exposure. Further investigation is required to examine the enduring consequences of microplastics on the environment, particularly in relation to the contamination of road dust.
