Population growth and lifestyle changes in Indonesia have led to complex waste management issues, negatively impacting social, health, and environmental sustainability aspects. To address this, a sustainable management approach that actively involves community participation is necessary. The concept of a Waste Bank, based on the 3R principles (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle), emerges as a strategic, community-based solution. This community service program aims to encourage active community participation in the Waste Bank program in Tanjung Uban Selatan, Bintan Regency, while supporting the realization of a Smart City based on intelligent and participatory environments. The methodology used is a qualitative approach to gain in-depth understanding. Primary data collection was carried out through interviews, participatory observations, and documentation studies. Key informants were purposively selected from various stakeholders, including Waste Bank administrators, local government representatives, and community members. The results show that, although initially challenging to increase community participation, the program has had a significant positive impact. It successfully shifted the community's view of waste as a valuable economic resource. Quantitatively, this is reflected in stable income from the sale of high-quality inorganic waste, such as metals and electronic waste. The program also led to strategic innovations, including sustainable education, waste savings incentives, social media use, and the "Dasi Umat" empowerment program. The success of this program, strengthened by awards at the district and national levels, makes it a model for sustainable waste management focused on community empowerment and supporting smart city development.

Penelitian ini mengkaji pengalaman umat Stasi Ibu Teresa Sei Hanyu dalam membangun Gereja Sinodal, sebuah model gereja yang menekankan partisipasi aktif dan kolaborasi seluruh umat beriman. Melalui wawancara mendalam dan observasi partisipan selama tiga minggu, studi ini mengungkap bagaimana prinsip-prinsip sinodalitas diterapkan di tingkat akar rumput. Temuan utama menunjukkan bahwa Stasi Ibu Teresa telah mengimplementasikan berbagai inisiatif untuk mewujudkan Gereja Sinodal, termasuk dialog antar umat, pemberdayaan kelompok kategorial, dan peningkatan partisipasi dalam liturgi serta pelayanan sosial. Meskipun menghadapi tantangan seperti resistensi terhadap perubahan dan kesenjangan generasi, stasi ini berhasil menciptakan ruang dialog yang memungkinkan suara-suara beragam untuk didengar dan dihargai. Dampak penerapan prinsip Gereja Sinodal terlihat dalam peningkatan keterlibatan umat dalam pengambilan keputusan gereja dan penguatan relasi sosial antar umat. Kolaborasi antara Stasi Ibu Teresa dengan Paroki induk juga mengalami peningkatan, terutama dalam perencanaan pastoral dan pelaksanaan program pembinaan iman. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa transformasi menuju model gereja yang lebih partisipatif dan inklusif membutuhkan komitmen dan keterlibatan aktif dari seluruh umat. Stasi Ibu Teresa mendemonstrasikan bahwa prinsip-prinsip sinodalitas dapat diterapkan secara konkret di tingkat lokal, memberikan kontribusi pada visi Gereja Katolik universal yang lebih inklusif dan responsif.

This research examines the application of cultural values towards the participation of the congregation in the Eucharistic celebration at the Parish of Santa Maria Immaculata Wayun Palu-Rejo, located in the district of South Barito, Central Kalimantan. The parish exemplifies unity and tolerance among the faithful from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds who participate in the Eucharistic celebration and other pastoral activities. A qualitative research method was employed, gathering data through interviews with 8 members of the congregation and 3 parish officials. The data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman's analysis method. The results of the study indicate that the congregation of the Parish of Santa Maria Immaculata Wayun Palu-Rejo has applied cultural values in their participation during the Eucharistic celebrations. The use of language, music, dance, and traditional attire is evident in the Inculturation Mass and other Eucharistic celebrations. The spirit of mutual cooperation, empathy, and care for fellow believers also influences the congregation's participation in the Eucharistic celebration. Pastoral efforts and catechesis conducted by the priests and parish officials play a vital role in encouraging the congregation to appreciate and apply cultural values in church activities. The priests convey messages and advice on the importance of cultural values during sermons and socialization. The Inculturation Mass serves as one of the initiatives to incorporate cultural values into the Eucharistic celebration. In conclusion, the application of cultural values significantly affects the participation of the congregation in the Eucharistic celebration at the Parish of Santa Maria Immaculata Wayun Palu-Rejo. Pastoral efforts and catechesis by the priests and church officials help raise awareness among the congregation regarding the significance of culture in religious life. Culture and congregation participation in the Eucharistic celebration are interconnected and require cooperation between church officials and the congregation. A suggestion for further research is to gain a deeper understanding and analyze the impact of cultural values on the participation of the congregation in other aspects of church life. Additionally, involving other ethnic groups in the study would provide a more comprehensive overview of the cultural diversity in this parish.
