<![CDATA[Sandey Village, Angata District, South Konawe has rice husk waste potential reaching 390 tons per year that has not been optimally utilized. On the other hand, SME "Zidan Roster" as a brick craftsman faces problems of high production costs (IDR 900,000/truck of conventional materials) and product quality that does not meet SNI standards. The purpose of this activity is to transfer rice husk ash-based interlocking block technology to improve economic efficiency and address environmental problems. The implementation method uses a "Technology Transfer and Community Empowerment" approach through five stages: preparation and baseline assessment, laboratory trials, technology transfer and implementation, evaluation and product testing, and consolidation and sustainability. Based on previous research results, the optimal formula used is: cement 30%, sand 35%, rice husk ash 35%, with water-cement ratio of 0.5. Results show that interlocking block products meet SNI standards with compressive strength of 26.5 kg/cm² and water absorption of 25%. Monitoring and evaluation showed that 90% of partners mastered BATASIK (Rice Husk Ash Interlocking Block) production skills. Economic impacts include 30-40% production cost efficiency and 25-30% income increase. Environmental impacts include rice husk waste utilization and CO₂ emission reduction. This program successfully created a sustainable community empowerment model through environmentally friendly technology innovation.]]>
