Abstract

Waste management is a serious challenge in many regions, including Nagari Sulit Air, which is experiencing an increase in waste volume due to population growth and economic activity. This study aims to explore innovations in waste management that are not only focused on environmental sustainability but also capable of empowering the local economy. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation studies of the waste management programs implemented in the nagari. The findings show that the community of Nagari Sulit Air has developed various innovative initiatives, such as waste banks, the processing of organic waste into compost, and creative recycling training for local residents, particularly women and youth. These innovations have proven effective in reducing waste volume and increasing environmental awareness among citizens. On the other hand, these activities also create new economic opportunities through the sale of recycled products and compost. This study highlights the importance of collaboration between the nagari government, the community, and third parties in establishing a sustainable and inclusive waste management system. The findings are expected to serve as a model for other regions in integrating environmental and economic aspects within community-based waste management practices.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of information technology has broadened access to digital information resources; however, users do not always possess adequate competence to locate, evaluate, and use information effectively. This condition underscores the importance of information literacy as a key competency shaping information-seeking behavior in academic library contexts. This study aims to examine the relationship between information literacy competence and information-seeking behavior among users of the Library of Padang Health Polytechnic, Ministry of Health. A quantitative correlational design was employed, involving 99 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed through descriptive statistics and Spearman Rank correlation. The findings show that users’ information literacy competence was categorized as very high (mean = 3.32), while their information-seeking behavior was categorized as high (mean = 3.20). Correlation analysis revealed a positive and significant relationship between information literacy competence and information-seeking behavior (r = 0.595; p < 0.001). These findings indicate that higher information literacy competence is associated with more effective information-seeking behavior. The study contributes to the literature on academic library services by demonstrating the relevance of information literacy in supporting effective access to and use of information. Practically, the findings highlight the need to strengthen information literacy programs to improve library service quality and support students’ academic success.
