Abstract

The low public awareness of waste management and the importance of physical activity remains a problem in urban residential areas. In RT 07 RW 03, Penurunan Village, Bengkulu City, household waste management has not been conducted optimally, and residents' participation in health activities is still limited. This community service activity aims to empower residents through education on waste management as well as organizing group exercise as an effort to increase community awareness of the environment and health. The methods used include initial condition observation, waste management counseling, waste sorting practice, and group exercise activities directly involving residents. The results of the activities show an increase in the community's understanding of household waste management, as well as greater participation in joint activities. In addition, group exercise serves as an effective means to strengthen social relationships and improve Awareness of the importance of a healthy lifestyle. Thus, environmental education combined with physical activity has been proven to be able to promote the holistic empowerment of the community.

Review

This community service initiative, titled "Empowerment of Residents Rt. 07 Rw. 03 Penurunan Village, Bengkulu City Through Waste Management Education & Group Exercise," addresses two critical and interconnected public health and environmental challenges: suboptimal waste management and limited physical activity in urban residential areas. The abstract clearly outlines a highly relevant problem statement and proposes a practical, integrated approach to foster community empowerment. The focus on local, grassroots intervention in Penurunan Village is commendable, demonstrating a commitment to direct community engagement and an understanding that holistic well-being encompasses both environmental stewardship and personal health. The stated objectives are clear and directly align with the identified needs of the community. The methodology employed, involving initial observation, counseling, practical waste sorting, and direct resident participation in group exercise, appears well-suited for a community service activity aimed at behavioral change and awareness building. The reported results indicate a positive impact, specifically an increase in understanding of waste management and enhanced participation in health activities. Notably, the abstract highlights the additional benefit of group exercise in strengthening social relationships and fostering a sense of community, which is a significant outcome beyond just physical health. The conclusion that environmental education combined with physical activity promotes holistic community empowerment is well-supported by the described findings, illustrating a thoughtful and multi-faceted approach to community development. While the abstract effectively conveys the positive outcomes and the direct benefits to the target community, future reporting of such initiatives could be strengthened by including more specific, quantifiable metrics of success where possible, such as participation rates, pre/post-intervention knowledge assessments, or changes in waste sorting habits. Additionally, a discussion of sustainability plans for the initiated programs or the potential for replication in other urban areas would further enhance its academic contribution and practical applicability. Nevertheless, this project serves as an excellent model for integrated community-based interventions, offering valuable insights into how local empowerment can be achieved through combining environmental education with social and physical activity initiatives.
