Introduction

Abstract

Sampah merupakan salah satu masalah yang terjadi dikota-kota besar seperti Kota Semarang. Sampah biasanya bermuara atau berakhir di TPS atau TPA. Banyak yang beranggapan bahwa sampah adalah urusan Pemerintah, padahal jika sampah ini tidak dikelola dengan baik maka akan menimbulkan berbagai masalah lanjutan seperti pencemaran udara, air, tanah dan lain sebagainya. Bank sampah merupakan salah satu upaya yang dapat mengatasi hal tersebut. Bank Sampah RT 08 RW 06 Tlogosari Kulon telah beroperasi sejak bulan Desember tahun 2023. Bank Sampah ini terletak di wilayah RT 08 yang terdiri dari 34 KK (Kepala Keluarga). Bank Sampah ini merupakan program kerja kelompok PKK RT 08 yang diketuai oleh Ibu Dewi Yunita Asri. Di wilayah ini terdapat dua kelompok dasa wisma (dawis) yaitu dawis DAHLIA 3 dan dawis DAHLIA 4. Berdasarkan observasi dan wawancara, permasalahan yang dihadapi adalah Kurangnya kesadaran warga untuk mengumpulkan sampah dan Kurangnya pengetahuan warga dan para pengurus PKK dalam mengelola bank sampah

Review

The submitted work, "Peningkatan Pengetahuan Warga Tlogosari Kulon RT 08 RW VI Terkait Pengelolaan Bank Sampah," addresses a highly relevant and critical issue: waste management in urban settings. The abstract effectively highlights the pervasive problem of waste in large cities like Semarang and the common misconception that its management solely rests with the government. By identifying "bank sampah" as a viable solution, the paper immediately positions itself within the current discourse on community-based environmental initiatives. The focus on Tlogosari Kulon RT 08 RW VI underscores a practical, localized approach to a global challenge, making the topic pertinent for both local community development and broader waste management studies. A significant strength of this initiative lies in its grounding within an existing community structure and a pre-established bank sampah, operational since December 2023 and driven by the PKK group. This demonstrates a proactive community effort, providing a solid foundation for intervention. The abstract clearly identifies two key problems through observation and interviews: a lack of citizen awareness regarding waste collection and, crucially, insufficient knowledge among both residents and PKK administrators in managing the bank sampah effectively. This precise articulation of problems suggests a well-defined scope for the proposed knowledge enhancement program, targeting specific deficiencies within a well-bounded community of 34 households across two "dasa wisma" groups. While the abstract successfully outlines the problem and the context, it would significantly benefit from further elaboration on the methodology and anticipated outcomes for a full journal paper. To enhance its academic rigor, future iterations should specify the intervention design for "peningkatan pengetahuan" – for instance, detailing the educational content, training methods, duration, and target participants (residents, PKK members). Furthermore, it is essential to describe how this "peningkatan pengetahuan" will be measured (e.g., pre- and post-intervention surveys, observable changes in practice, increased participation rates). Finally, outlining the expected tangible impacts beyond mere knowledge improvement, such as increased volume of sorted waste, improved bank sampah operational efficiency, or broader environmental benefits for the community, would greatly strengthen the paper's contribution to both practical implementation and academic understanding of sustainable waste management.
