This demonstrates that the socialization method applied was effective in enhancing farmers' understanding of the functions, production techniques, and benefits of biopores. This activity is expected to encourage the independent implementation of biopores by farmer groups, both at the household and agricultural levels, as part of environmentally friendly and sustainable land management practices.

This community service initiative aims to apply biopore infiltration hole technology as a community-based flood mitigation solution in Labuhan Ratu District, Bandar Lampung City. This area faces major problems in the form of a high risk of waterlogging caused by low soil absorption, predominance of watertight surfaces, and suboptimal drainage systems. The program is carried out with a project-based community empowerment approach, where as many as 50 local residents are involved in each stage of the activity. These stages include environmental awareness campaigns, technical training on making biopore infiltration holes, providing equipment, and direct practice in the field. A total of 100 strategic points in the Dasawisma Palapa 6 environment are the locations for the implementation of biopores. The results of the activity show that this simple technology effectively improves the soil's ability to absorb water and reduce surface runoff, so that the risk of inundation can be reduced. In addition, this activity also encourages the formation of community groups that are tasked with maintaining biopores, in order to ensure the sustainability of long-term benefits. This program not only has a positive impact on the quality of the physical environment, but also strengthens the capacity of citizens to manage natural resources based on appropriate technology. The active participation of the community has proven to be the key to success, as it creates a sense of belonging while increasing ecological awareness at the local level. These findings confirm that the integration of simple technological innovations and community empowerment is an effective strategy in building sustainable environmental solutions, especially in the face of urban flood challenges.

Household waste management, especially organic waste, remains a major problem in many regions, including Pematang Guntung Village, Teluk Mengkudu District, Serdang Bedagai Regency. Improperly managed organic waste has the potential to cause unpleasant odors, environmental pollution, and become a source of disease. Therefore, an appropriate and environmentally friendly solution is needed to overcome this issue. This study aims to examine how the application of the biopore method can serve as a strategy to create a cleaner environment while simultaneously improving soil fertility. The research method used was qualitative, with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively to illustrate the implementation of biopores in the community. The results showed that the application of biopores was able to significantly reduce the volume of household organic waste. Organic waste placed into biopore holes naturally decomposed into compost, which is beneficial as an environmentally friendly fertilizer. In addition, biopores improved soil water absorption capacity, which helps reduce waterlogging during the rainy season and maintain soil moisture. From a social perspective, biopores encouraged the development of new awareness among community members regarding the importance of waste management. This was demonstrated by the active participation of residents in creating, utilizing, and maintaining biopore holes sustainably. Thus, biopores function not only as a technical solution for organic waste management but also as an environmental education tool that strengthens community collaboration in maintaining cleanliness and enhancing soil fertility in their area.

Data on waste generation in 2024, nationally, in the Special Region of Yogyakarta Province, and in Bantul Regency, consistently show organic waste as the largest component (more than 50%). Based on its source, the largest waste generation (53-75%) comes from households. This community service program aims to increase the participation of households in Trayeman Hamlet, Plered Village, Plered Sub-district, Bantul, in managing their own organic waste. This program is implemented through training for local PKK members. The methods presented are biopore, the covered bucket method, the stacked bucket method, the losida method, and the gallon method so that the community can easily adjust their choices. The training continued with the creation of composting tools, inoculant solutions, and biopore infiltration holes. Obstacles faced in organic waste management are the dependence of some residents on waste collection services. Supporting factors are the high community interest in gardening, the periodic garden utilization and cleanliness competitions held by the local village, and the commitment of PKK administrators to be able to process their organic waste independently.

This community service activity was carried out in Dahu Village, Pandeglang Regency, with the main objective of introducing and implementing biopore infiltration hole technology as a simple and environmentally friendly solution to address waterlogging and organic waste management. Biopores are small-diameter vertical holes dug into the ground and then filled with organic waste, such as dry leaves, vegetable scraps, or food scraps. This organic waste will naturally decompose through a decomposition process, producing compost that is useful for fertilizing the soil. Furthermore, the presence of biopore holes can improve the groundwater absorption capacity, thereby reducing the risk of waterlogging and minor flooding around residential areas. During the implementation, we as students not only provided theoretical explanations through socialization sessions but also actively participated directly in the field. Together with residents, we practiced making biopore holes, starting from the stages of preparing tools and materials, the process of drilling the soil, and filling the holes with organic waste. This practical activity was designed to help the community understand the steps for making biopores independently and utilizing them sustainably. The results of the activity showed an increase in community understanding and awareness of the importance of easy, affordable, and beneficial waste management. The community is beginning to realize that waste processing does not always require large costs or complicated technology. Biopore holes have been proven effective in accelerating rainwater absorption, reducing household waste volume, and improving soil fertility. Beyond the environmental impact, this activity also strengthens relationships between students and villagers through the collaboration established during the biopore construction process. Thus, this program is expected to be the first step towards a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable village.

Human life, cannot be separated from the environment around the house where you live. Both the natural environment and the social environment. We breathe requires air from the environment. Eating, drinking, keeping healthy, everything involves the environment. From the environment, humans can take advantage of parts of the environment such as animals, plants, water, air, sunlight, salt, wood, mining products and so on for their daily needs. But it is not only humans who live like that. Other living things such as animals and microbial animals and plants can also live because of their environment. A healthy environment in the form of shady plants and trees can be a source of oxygen and become a shelter for residents. Apart from being a shelter for residents, it is also a place for residents to chat and play with children. The role of Biopores is also important, as water infiltration when it rains so that it can provide water for the plants around it, so that the plants around it become fertile.
