Abstract

Background : The construction of the National Capital City (IKN) in East Kalimantan has had a significant impact on waste management, especially plastic. With the increase in population due to this project, plastic waste in Sukaraja Village has increased, but access to landfills is very limited. As a result, the community prefers to burn waste, that are detrimental to the health of the environment. Good waste management is urgently needed to raise community awareness and create economic opportunities through recycling Objective : This activity aims to increase the knowledge of the community, especially mothers, about the negative impact of plastic waste on health and the environment Research Methods/ Implementation Methods : The Ecoless Socialization activity was conducted at the Sukaraja Village Office, involving 14 women representatives from the local hamlet. It included problem identification through observations and interviews, preparation of socialization materials, and implementation in three sessions: gymnastics together, material presentation, and video presentation of recycled products. Evaluation was conducted with pre-test and post-test Results : The results of the Ecoless activity in Sukaraja Village showed a significant increase in the knowledge of the participating mothers. The average pre-test score rose from 66.4% to 85% post socialization, reflecting a better understanding of the impact of plastic waste and how to reduce its use Conclusion/Lesson Learned : The Ecoless program was successful in increasing the community's understanding of the negative impacts of plastic waste and processing methods, with an average knowledge increase of almost 20%.

Abstract

Posyandu is a village level of health service that plays a role in improving public health, especially maternal and child health. The existence of posyandu makes an easier access for the community to  basic health services without having to travel long distances. However, the implementation of posyandu still faces various challenges, especially in how low the level of community participation is. Community empowerment with “SIGAP (Sosialisasi Gerakan Aktif Posyandu)” and “Play Corner” programs aims to increase infant and toddler visits to Posyandu Mayang Wangi through cadre empowerment and community education. The methods used include problem awareness through Focus Group Discussion (FGD), socialization planning and implementation, and evaluation using pre-test and post-test. This socialization was carried out by posyandu cadres and public health faculty students as facilitators. The socialization provided information on the importance of visiting the posyandu and nutritional problems in toddlers, as well as a "play corner" to attract children. The enthusiasm of the participants in the discussion session and evaluation through pre-test and post-test showed an improvement in knowledge of the participants, which reflected the effectiveness of the socialization presented by the cadres. The provision of a "play corner" also improved the skills and creativity of cadres in creating educational game media from used goods. This activity succeeded in building community awareness and concern for the importance of posyandu, as well as successfully empowering cadres in raising community awareness of maternal and child health.
