Abstract

Although community education is increasingly used to improve solid waste practices, evidence from rural Indonesian villages remains limited, and few programs combine Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) with rapid pre–post evaluation; this initiative addresses that gap by testing a community-based educational program in Balocci Baru Village, Pangkep Regency, Indonesia. The program, entitled “Smart Waste Management, Smart Environmental Stewardship,” aimed to strengthen community knowledge and understanding of proper, responsible, and sustainable waste management to reduce environmental contamination and downstream public health risks. Using a participatory PRA approach, educational sessions were delivered to 22 participants (community members, health cadres, and local leaders) and evaluated through pre-test and post-test measurements. Visual reinforcement tools (posters and informational boards) were integrated to support comprehension and recall. Post-intervention results indicated a clear improvement in knowledge distribution, with no participants remaining in the low-knowledge category. Statistical testing using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test confirmed a significant increase in knowledge scores (p < 0.05). These findings suggest that participatory, visually supported education can be an effective entry point for community-driven waste management in rural settings, with potential adaptation for peri-urban and urban neighborhoods where waste generation and exposure pathways differ but behavior change remains central to environmental health promotion.

Abstract

Previous disaster preparedness studies in rural, disaster-prone areas have largely prioritized structural mitigation and early warning systems, leaving a critical gap in community-based health interventions that address psychosocial readiness. This study introduces a culturally contextualized psychoeducational intervention as a public health strategy to strengthen disaster preparedness in District of X Koto, Tanah Datar Regency, West Sumatra, Indonesia. The objective was to enhance community preparedness through an intervention emphasizing psychosocial health, risk perception, and self-efficacy as core components of disaster health interventions. A participatory intervention design was implemented over nine months (March–November 2024), involving 69 community members. The intervention comprised situational analysis, group-based psychoeducational sessions, disaster simulations, and pre- and post-test assessments. Results demonstrated a substantial improvement in overall preparedness scores, increasing from a mean of 12.54 to 37.64 after the intervention. Beyond cognitive gains, participants exhibited improved emotional regulation, heightened awareness of disaster risks, and stronger behavioral intentions to engage in adaptive response actions. These outcomes align with established psychosocial health theories, underscoring the effectiveness of community-centered learning in enhancing resilience. The intervention was particularly beneficial for participants with limited formal education, indicating its inclusivity and scalability. Integrating psychoeducational health interventions into disaster preparedness frameworks may strengthen public health resilience and support sustainable disaster risk reduction in rural and urban disaster-prone settings.
