AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers conducted participatory community service activities at Cemara Indah Beach, Indonesia, involving beach clean-ups, recycling training, and stakeholder collaboration, finding that hands-on education significantly increased residents' environmental awareness and practical skills—including converting plastic waste into eco-bricks—while establishing a sustainable local monitoring plan.
This article discusses a community service activity to address plastic waste issues at Cemara Indah Beach, West Lombok, a popular tourist destination with high visitor numbers and vulnerability to environmental pollution. The activity aims to increase local community awareness and skills in sustainable plastic waste management and foster a shared commitment to maintaining environmental cleanliness. This community service involved participatory and collaborative approaches, engaging students, the Cemara Indah Beach Tourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis), residents, and the Lombok Eco Green community. Methods included socialization and education, training in waste sorting and recycling techniques, beach clean-up activities, and follow-up discussions. The results indicate increased environmental awareness and skills among the community in managing plastic waste, evidenced by participants' enthusiasm for beach clean-up and training sessions. Additionally, participants gained skills in processing plastic waste into eco-bricks and handicrafts, potentially improving the local economy. The follow-up discussion led to a sustainable action plan, including establishing a beach cleanliness monitoring group and providing sorted waste bins in tourist areas. In conclusion, the collaborative approach involving various stakeholders effectively raised community awareness and skills, creating a sustainable impact on plastic waste management in tourist areas. Ongoing support from government and community groups is needed to reinforce these results and ensure the continuity of this program.

Analisis Dampak Sampah terhadap Kebersihan Lingkungan di Wisata Pantai Cemara Lombok Barat
AI summary Read the abstract
A study of Cemara Beach in Lombok, Indonesia found that trash—especially plastic—is piling up because people don't have easy access to bins, aren't taught about proper disposal, and rules aren't enforced. This matters beyond just an ugly beach: plastic waste that ends up in the ocean breaks down into microplastics that can enter the seafood we eat, while polluted beaches also hurt local economies that depend on tourism. The researchers suggest solutions like "Zero Plastic Tourism" programs and better waste facilities, showing that community involvement is key to fixing the problem.
