This study formulates a design concept for the Beach Tourism Resort Area in Botubarani Village by applying tropical architecture that responds to coastal climatic conditions while enhancing the quality of visitor experiences. The research integrates principles of thermal comfort, environmental sustainability, and the ecological potential of coastal environments as the basis for creating climate-adaptive and environmentally responsive tourism areas. The methodology includes site analysis, field observation, climatological assessment, and a literature review related to tropical architecture and coastal tourism design. The collected data were used to determine building orientation, mass layout patterns, visitor capacity, materials, vegetation, and utility systems appropriate for humid tropical climates. The findings show that the site’s position between the sea and the mountains, combined with full-day sun exposure, requires design strategies that maximize cross-ventilation, utilize sloped roofs, provide natural shading, and apply local materials such as wood, bamboo, and red brick. The large spatial needs based on visitor capacity projections are accommodated through a flexible cluster layout that supports visual and functional connectivity between buildings while incorporating green open spaces to enhance microclimate comfort. The utility system is designed using sustainability principles through greywater–blackwater separation, infiltration wells, and recycling-based waste management. This study confirms that the application of tropical architecture in coastal tourism areas can improve thermal comfort, energy efficiency, and environmental sustainability. These findings guide developing tropical tourism area designs that are more adaptive to climate change and more responsive to visitor needs.

Sedayu Village, located in Gemuh District, Kendal Regency, has abundant natural resource potential. The majority of people develop various kinds of plants and trees to be used as business fields, one of which is bamboo. Bamboo as an abundant and easily renewable natural resource has great potential to be developed as a raw material for making environmentally friendly products. In addition to looking at the characteristics of bamboo both physically and mechanically, this bamboo has good quality to be applied as a raw material for crafts such as dustbin. This research aims to explore the potential of bamboo as a raw material for making dustbin in Sedayu Village with a focus on the advantages, manufacturing process and implementation strategy. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design that focuses on getting an overview of local conditions. Meanwhile, data collection is carried out by participatory observation, interviews and documentation. The results of the study show that bamboo has strength and rigidity that exceeds other materials, making it a good structural choice for construction. This research discusses the use of bamboo as a raw material for making dustbin in Sedayu Village. The advantage of bamboo dustbin is its strength. In addition to being able to last a long time outdoors, bamboo also has aesthetic elements, namely its characteristics that are very suitable for rural environments and contain local traditional values that have been passed down from generation to generation.

This work program is aimed at strengthening the role of OSIS in increasing students' awareness of the school environment. Method of implementing the work program with socialization and training in making trash bins made from bamboo plants. This work program aims to identify OSIS strategies in preserving the school environment. The results of implementing the work program show that OSIS can mobilize students through various activities such as waste management, reforestation and environmental education. The benefits of this work program are to increase awareness of the importance of environmental cleanliness and build students' sense of concern for school.

This research explores the potential of local bio-composites made from bamboo and coconut fiber as sustainable building materials in Indonesia. The construction sector in Indonesia faces significant environmental challenges, particularly the high carbon emissions associated with conventional materials like concrete and steel. The primary objective of this research is to evaluate the environmental and economic benefits of substituting these traditional materials with bio-composites, using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and energy optimization simulations. The LCA methodology evaluates the environmental impact of bio-composites across their entire life cycle, comparing them with conventional materials in terms of carbon emissions, energy consumption, and waste. Energy optimization simulations focus on assessing the thermal performance and overall building efficiency when using bio-composites in construction. The main findings suggest that bio-composites exhibit a significantly lower carbon footprint and better thermal insulation properties than concrete and steel, contributing to reduced energy consumption in buildings. Additionally, the use of locally sourced materials like bamboo and coconut fiber offers economic advantages, such as lower transportation costs and support for local economies. The research concludes that bio-composites can serve as viable alternatives to traditional materials, providing both environmental and economic benefits. For successful adoption, the research recommends policy support, technological advancements, and educational initiatives to promote the use of bio-composites in Indonesia’s construction industry.

Bamboo waste is a type of waste or waste generated by development projects that still has the potential to be utilized, one of which is as a raw material in the manufacture of handicraft products. The use of bamboo waste as a raw material in the manufacture of handicrafts is still not optimal. The potential of bamboo waste as a raw material for making handicrafts is still wide open. The method used in this journal is first, an initial survey by identifying the potential for bamboo waste in the Kepanjenkidul Village. Second, collecting data through observation and interviews. Third, data analysis using quantitative and qualitative methods. Fourth, product development which aims to develop handicraft products from product waste. Fifth, evaluation of results to evaluate the success of implementing bamboo waste utilization. The MBKM 25 Thematic Community Service Group provides assistance and development of MSMEs in the form of implementing community service activities. The activity is to assist and assist in carrying out the production process to the packaging process.
