Abstract

The Environmental Home Group (Kelompok Rumah Lingkungan – KRL) in collaboration with the Women Farmers Group (Kelompok Wanita Tani – KWT) revealed that one of the problems that they want to overcome in Pamijahan Village, Bogor Regency is how to utilize used cooking oil sourced from the Pamijahan Village community, especially in supporting agricultural activities currently being carried out by KWT. ​​This was also expressed by the Head of Pamijahan Village. Therefore, the JELITA Program (Used Cooking Oil as Liquid Plant Fertilizer) is present as a solution by processing used cooking oil into organic liquid fertilizer that is useful for the agricultural sector while reducing the impact of pollution. This program was implemented by 9 IPB University students and involved 20 people from Pamijahan Village, Bogor Regency. The liquid fertilizer production process includes collecting used cooking oil, mixing it with additional materials such as molasses, EM-4, and rice bran, and fermentation for 20 days. The results of this activity show that converting used cooking oil into liquid fertilizer can be an alternative approach in managing household waste. In addition, this program contributes to meeting local fertilizer needs so that it can reduce the use of conventional chemical fertilizers.

Abstract

Background: This study addresses the public health issue of community hygiene and wellness by focusing on the Clean and Healthy Lifestyle Behavior (CHLB) as a key parameter. The subject of the assessment is the community of Sompok Hamlet, Bantul, with the purpose of evaluating the implementation of CHLB within households to understand areas of strength and needed improvement. Purpose of the Study: The purpose is to assess the level of CHLB implementation in Sompok Hamlet. The objective is to measure household compliance across various CHLB indicators and identify specific behavioral gaps that require targeted intervention. Methods: The study employed a cross-sectional survey design conducted in 2023. Data were collected from 202 households across seven neighborhood units (RT) using a structured questionnaire to evaluate compliance with standard CHLB indicators. Results: The results showed that 68.3% of households met the criteria for independent healthy communities. High compliance was observed in indicators like access to clean water, sanitation, exclusive breastfeeding, and toddler weighing. However, significant gaps were identified in physical activity (71.3% low compliance) and indoor smoking practices (64% low compliance). Practices related to fruit/vegetable consumption, handwashing, and larva elimination showed varied results. The findings highlight the need for focused educational programs to address these specific behavioral deficiencies to promote sustainable community health.

Methods: A multistage sampling process and a descriptive survey of correlational design were used. Out-of-school adolescents (N = 287; 52.61% female, 47.39% male) aged 11 to 19 years old (M = 16.07, SD = 4.57) took part in the study. Participants completed self-report measures, including the Fatalistic Belief Questionnaire (α = 0.79), the General Religiosity Scale (α = 0.87), and the Sexual Risk Behaviour Scale (α = 0.81). Results: The results indicated a significant and positive link between the age of sexual initiation and risky sexual behaviour among teenagers who engaged in sexual activity outside of school. (r = .570; p.<05), Fatalistic Belief (r = .593; p.<05), and Religiousity (r = .378; p.<05); the multiple correlation coefficient of (R = 0.704, p<.05) and multiple regression adjusted coefficient (R2 = 0.490). Fatalistic Belief (β = .422; t = 9.122; p<0.05) made the most significant contribution, followed by Age of Sexual Initiation (β = .353; t = 7.133; p<0.05) and Religiousity (β = .116; t = 2.453; p<0.05). According to the study's findings, efforts should be made to curb risky sexual behaviour and address young people's capacity to handle romantic pressure, which is a defining characteristic of this developmental stage.
