Abstract

This article examines the optimization of the performance of the NTB Information Commission (KI NTB) in resolving public information disputes in the digital era. The study aims to analyze the dispute resolution process, identify existing challenges, and explore opportunities for institutional improvement using a qualitative descriptive method through observation, interviews, and document analysis during a student internship at the University of Muhammadiyah Mataram from January 22 to March 13, 2026. The findings show that KI NTB has implemented a systematic dispute resolution mechanism consisting of application intake, mediation, and non-litigation adjudication, while maintaining the principles of transparency and accountability in accordance with Law No. 14/2008. However, several obstacles remain, including limited human resources, low public awareness, resistance from certain public bodies, and the underutilization of digital technology. In conclusion, KI NTB has demonstrated a significant role in safeguarding citizens’ rights to information and promoting accountable governance, although further optimization is still required. The implications of this study indicate that service digitalization through online registration and e-archiving, capacity building, and more intensive public outreach can strengthen KI NTB’s effectiveness in delivering fair and efficient dispute resolution services.

Abstract

The tofu and tempeh industry in Abian Tubuh Baru Village, Sandubaya District, Mataram City, contributes to local economic development but also has the potential to degrade river environmental quality due to inadequate waste management practices. This community service activity aimed to educate community members and tofu-tempeh business actors about the environmental impacts of industrial waste and to increase awareness of sustainable waste management using the DPSIR (Driving Force, Pressure, State, Impact, Response) framework. The activity was conducted from 23–26 May 2026 in Karang Pande, Abian Tubuh Baru Village, through field observations, environmental problem identification, development of DPSIR-based educational materials, and dissemination of leaflets and posters. Observations revealed direct wastewater disposal into drainage channels connected to the Unus River, accumulation of organic waste residues, unpleasant odors, and visible signs of declining environmental quality. Based on these findings, DPSIR-based educational materials were developed and distributed to facilitate public understanding of the causal relationship between industrial activities and environmental conditions. The activity demonstrated that the DPSIR framework can effectively communicate local environmental issues in a simple and contextual manner. Therefore, DPSIR-based environmental education has the potential to strengthen community awareness and support sustainable river ecosystem management through increased public participation in environmental conservation efforts.

Abstract

Plastic waste accumulation in coastal areas threatens marine ecosystems, fisheries, and tourism sustainability. This study aimed to analyze community perceptions of plastic waste impacts at Viral Bagek Kembar Beach, Tanjung Karang Permai Village, Sekarbela District, Mataram City. A descriptive qualitative approach was applied through purposive sampling involving interviews with two key informants, namely a local RT head and a fisherman, conducted on May 26, 2026. Field observations were also carried out to document waste conditions along the shoreline. Results showed that plastic waste increases significantly during the rainy season due to sea currents and wind. Plastic materials, including bags, bottles, and food packaging, dominated the shoreline waste. Community perceptions indicated that plastic waste disrupts fishing activities by entangling gear, reduces coastal tourism aesthetics, and threatens marine biota. Waste management efforts such as routine beach clean-ups, community cooperation, and environmental awareness campaigns have been implemented by residents, students, and the local government. However, these efforts remain insufficient. In conclusion, community perceptions reflect a clear awareness of plastic waste impacts, yet management and environmental education need strengthening. Collaborative action among communities, government, and tourists is essential for sustainable coastal waste management.

Abstract

Solid waste accumulation in drainage channels has become a major environmental issue in urban areas because it reduces drainage capacity and increases the risk of flooding. Sekarbela District, Mataram City, is a coastal urban area experiencing drainage blockages caused by household waste accumulation. This study aimed to describe the condition of drainage channels, identify factors contributing to waste accumulation, and formulate community-based recommendations for improving waste and drainage management. The activity was conducted on May 26, 2026, from 08.00 to 12.00 WITA in three hamlets of Karang Pule Village, Sekarbela District, Mataram City, West Nusa Tenggara Province. Using a qualitative descriptive approach within a Community-Based Research (CBR) framework, data were collected through observations at five drainage sampling points and interviews with 14 participants, consisting of 10 residents and 4 key informants selected through purposive sampling. The results showed that all five drainage channels (100%) experienced waste accumulation and blockage, predominantly by plastic waste such as plastic bags, bottles, and food packaging. Water quality was characterized by turbid, dark-colored, and odorous conditions, indicating environmental degradation. Interviews revealed that inadequate waste segregation and improper disposal practices were the main causes of drainage obstruction. In conclusion, community-based waste management and regular drainage maintenance are essential to reduce environmental degradation and flood risk. These findings provide practical guidance for sustainable environmental management in Sekarbela and other urban coastal areas facing similar challenges.

Abstract

Waste management remains a major environmental challenge in urban areas, particularly around Temporary Waste Disposal Sites (TPS). This study aimed to analyze community perceptions of waste management at the TPS in Gomong Village, Mataram City. The study was conducted on May 25, 2026, using a descriptive qualitative approach through semi-structured interviews and field observations. A total of 10 respondents living near the TPS were selected purposively. The results showed that 80% of respondents perceived the TPS as disturbing environmental comfort, 90% reported that unpleasant odors interfered with daily activities, and 70% considered waste collection services to be suboptimal. In addition, 100% agreed that the TPS requires better management, while 80% expressed willingness to participate in waste management programs if supported by clear initiatives and adequate facilities. These findings indicate that negative perceptions are primarily associated with odor pollution and inefficient waste collection. However, the high willingness to participate highlights the potential for community involvement in improving local waste management. The study concludes that enhancing waste collection services and implementing community-based programs are essential for sustainable waste management. The findings provide evidence to support local government policies that promote participatory and environmentally sustainable waste management.

Abstract

Roadside shade trees play an important role in maintaining urban environmental quality; however, public understanding of their ecological functions remains limited. This community service activity aimed to improve public knowledge and awareness of the ecological functions of roadside shade trees in the Jalan Udayana area, Mataram City. The activity was conducted on May 25, 2026, through vegetation observation, tree inventory, environmental education, and interactive discussions. A total of 20 participants, consisting of local residents, visitors, students, youth organization members, and environmental community representatives, took part in the program. The inventory results identified 28 tree individuals belonging to 12 species, with Krey Payung (Filicium decipiens) being the dominant species. Of the observed trees, 23 individuals were classified as healthy, while 5 individuals showed signs of disease, including leaf spots, fungal infection, and parasitic attacks. In addition, 13 trees exhibited dust accumulation on their leaf surfaces, indicating their role in trapping airborne particles and improving air quality. The educational activities enhanced participants’ understanding of the ecological functions of roadside trees, including air pollutant absorption, dust interception, noise reduction, oxygen production, and urban climate regulation. These findings suggest that vegetation-based environmental education can serve as an effective approach to increasing public awareness and encouraging community participation in the conservation of urban green open spaces and sustainable environmental management.

Abstract

River ecosystems play an important role in supporting human life and aquatic biodiversity, but their quality can decline due to anthropogenic activities. This study aimed to analyze the water quality of the Gunung Pengsong River, West Lombok, using aquatic macrofauna as bioindicators. The research applied a descriptive-exploratory method by collecting macrofauna samples through free sampling along a 1 km river section near residential and agricultural areas. Water quality analysis was conducted using the BMWP (Biological Monitoring Working The community around the Gunung Pengsong tourism area has limited knowledge of using aquatic organisms as biological indicators to monitor river water quality. Most residents assess water quality only through physical observations such as color, odor, and turbidity. Therefore, a community service program was conducted to improve public understanding of bioindicators and their application in environmental monitoring. The activity involved 30 participants, including residents and Biology Education students. The program was implemented through educational sessions, field demonstrations, direct sampling of aquatic macrofauna, organism identification practices, and group discussions. Participants were actively involved throughout all stages of the activity. Evaluation through observation, discussions, and interviews indicated an improvement in participants’ understanding of the relationship between aquatic organisms and river ecosystem conditions. After the training, participants were able to recognize several groups of macrofauna and understand their role as indicators of water quality. The use of macrofauna-based bioindicators was considered easy to understand and applicable for community-based environmental monitoring. This activity successfully enhanced environmental awareness and strengthened participants’ knowledge and skills in monitoring river water quality using biological indicators.
