Abstract

Dog abandonment is a prominent problem within the Indonesian environment that continues to increase as time goes, which can affect the dynamics of the dog population and the spread of rabies disease there. This study aims to analyze the problem of dog abandonment from the perspective of health and welfare, alongside sustainable dog population control efforts in Indonesia. The research method in this study makes use of the qualitative method that comes in the form of a semi-structured interview conducted with the workers at the Maria Stray Home dog shelter. The information obtained from the interview will form the basis for the results of the analysis, which is accompanied by the incorporation of information from existing scientific articles on similar topics as supporting information. Results indicate that the cause of dog abandonment tends to stem from the owner's unwillingness to keep the dog, which may also be driven by other factors such as economic conditions. Results also found that abandonment damages the physical and mental health of dogs, and that it can also potentially endanger human health within the vicinity. Abandonment also causes poor welfare within a dog when viewed from the perspective of Five Freedoms and Five Domains. Results also found that dog abandonment contributes directly to the increase in the dog population and the spread of rabies, which proves the necessity to account for the phenomenon of dog abandonment as an effort to control the dog population and prevent the spread of rabies in the Indonesian environment.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the level of knowledge, awareness, and habits of elementary school students regarding Handwashing with Soap (CTPS) behavior at SDN 4 Panunggangan. CTPS is an important part of clean and healthy living behavior that plays a role in preventing the spread of disease, especially in early childhood. The research method used a qualitative approach through the distribution of questionnaires to 25 first-grade students and structured interviews with two teachers. The results showed that some students had understood the importance of maintaining hand hygiene and washing hands after using the toilet. However, students' understanding of the appropriate time to wash their hands, especially after playing outdoors, and knowledge of the correct handwashing steps are still low. Teacher interviews revealed that the lack of CTPS habits at home, students who often forget, and improper handwashing techniques are the main factors that influence CTPS behavior at school. These findings indicate that although students' basic knowledge is quite good, habituation, mentoring, and environmental support are needed for consistent CTPS behavior.
