Bonjeruk Village is a culture-based tourism destination with significant potential for community empowerment. However, the PAWON 21 community within this village continues to face challenges related to suboptimal waste management, which poses health and environmental risks. This study aimed to identify environmental issues using a community diagnosis approach and implement community-based interventions. The methods employed included direct observation, structured interviews, and questionnaire distribution among community members. Problem prioritization was conducted using the PAHO (Pan American Health Organization) method. The analysis identified waste management as the most pressing issue. To address this, targeted interventions were implemented, including educational sessions and the provision of supporting infrastructure. The results showed an increase in community awareness and participation in waste management efforts. These findings underscore the effectiveness of community diagnosis and simple, focused interventions in enhancing community engagement toward creating a cleaner and healthier environment sustainably.
