Health is an important aspect of improving the quality of life and productivity of rural communities. However, limited understanding, sanitation facilities, and community habits can hinder the implementation of Clean and Healthy Living Behaviors (PHBS). This study aimed to describe the implementation of interactive PHBS education, explore community responses, and identify changes in environmental hygiene behavior following the provision of segregated waste bins in Dahe Hamlet, Mujur Village. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation involving the hamlet head, health cadres, and community members as informants. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that before the activity, community understanding of PHBS was still limited, particularly regarding household waste management and handwashing practices. Interactive education using visual information boards helped residents understand the importance of handwashing and waste separation. The provision of segregated waste bins also encouraged residents to separate organic and inorganic waste and supported changes in environmental hygiene practices. These changes were reflected in the increased implementation of clean and healthy living behaviors, such as handwashing with soap, maintaining environmental cleanliness, and using sanitation facilities appropriately. In conclusion, interactive PHBS education supported by information boards and segregated waste bins can help improve community understanding and encourage the implementation of clean and healthy living behaviors in Dahe Hamlet, Mujur Village.
