Abstract

Purpose: The Community Service Program (KKN) in Pucanganak Village, Tugu District, Trenggalek Regency, aims to enhance community participation in creating an environmentally friendly village through the application of biopore infiltration technology. The main issue identified was the lack of technical knowledge among residents regarding the installation and maintenance of biopores, which hindered their optimal function in preserving groundwater reserves and reducing waterlogging. Method: This program adopted the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) method, which emphasizes the utilization and enhancement of existing community assets, potentials, and strengths. The core principle of ABCD is to view the community from the perspective of its assets rather than its deficiencies. Through asset mapping, identification, and empowerment, communities are encouraged to become the main actors in development. The Pucanganak community’s assets included awareness of environmental conservation, local government support, and willingness to participate in sustainable practices. Practical Applications: The implementation of biopore socialization and installation activities in Dusun Krajan, Pucanganak Village, demonstrated that the community possesses valuable assets and potential in environmental preservation. Conclusion: Despite initial challenges due to lack of technical knowledge, the approach used successfully maximized local strengths through awareness building, knowledge transfer, and government support. The program not only improved technical understanding of biopore construction but also fostered collaboration between residents and authorities, establishing a replicable model for sustainable environmental conservation.
