This study aims to evaluate the application of environmental management accounting in the management of work programs at the Bangkalan Regency Environmental Agency. The research is motivated by increasing environmental problems, particularly waste volume and limited management facilities, while environmental management accounting has the potential to assist agencies in identifying, measuring, and reporting environmental costs as a basis for decision-making and public accountability. This study used a qualitative method with a case study approach at the Bangkalan Regency Environmental Agency. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation studies. The results show that the Environmental Agency has implemented environmental management accounting, but its recording is still manual and does not separate environmental costs from general operational costs. This condition complicates cost evaluation and program impact assessment. Work program management has been structured and evaluated regularly, but performance measurement still focuses on output, not long-term environmental impact. Information transparency is also still limited to activity publications. Overall, the application of environmental accounting is at a basic stage and has not been fully integrated into the work program planning and evaluation process. The findings of this study provide theoretical and practical implications in the form of strengthening understanding of the role of environmental management accounting and the need to improve the work program recording and evaluation system at the Bangkalan Regency Environmental Agency.

This article discusses the application of service learning as an educational approach that supports the preservation of cultural heritage and the strengthening of sustainable tourism in Batu Caves, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. As one of the most important Hindu temple complexes in Southeast Asia, Batu Caves has become a symbol of cultural diversity and interreligious harmony. However, increased tourism activity has brought about various problems, such as environmental pollution, waste management issues, and the erosion of cultural values among visitors. To address these challenges, service-learning programs integrate academic theory with direct participation in the community, allowing students to actively engage in environmental conservation, cultural documentation, and the development of public education initiatives. Thru collaboration with temple managers, local communities, and tourists, students applied management concepts in real-world situations, including cleaning activities, maintaining tourist areas, developing educational materials on eco-tourism, and preserving traditional rituals thru cultural archiving. The implementation of this service learning not only enriches students' learning experiences but also raises public awareness about the importance of preserving Batu Caves as a sustainable cultural heritage site. Overall, this project demonstrates that service learning is a transformative pedagogical approach that connects academic goals with community development and cultivates future leaders who are socially responsible and culturally sensitive.

Nutritional problems in toddlers remain a public health challenge in Indonesia, including in Tarakan City, North Kalimantan. The 2018 Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) data shows a high prevalence of malnutrition, severe malnutrition, and stunting in toddlers, with data showing that based on the body weight index (BB/A) the prevalence of malnourished toddlers is 3.9% while 13.8% of toddlers are undernourished. Based on the height-for-age (H/A) index, there are 11.5% of toddlers with very short nutritional status and 19.3% of toddlers with stunted nutritional status. Meanwhile, based on the weight-for-height (BB/H) index, the proportion of very wasted children is 3.5%, undernourished children are 6.7%, and overweight children are 8% (Riskesdas, 2018). Because of these problems, early nutrition education efforts are needed. This community service activity aims to increase the knowledge of toddler mothers about the importance of balanced nutrition for children, especially through the use of UHT milk as a nutritional supplement, as well as strengthening the role of integrated health posts (Posyandu) in monitoring child growth and development. Thus, this community service activity contributes to raising public awareness of the importance of meeting toddler nutritional needs and is expected to support government programs to reduce the prevalence of stunting in Tarakan City.

Waste remains one of the major environmental issues and a serious challenge in rural communities. The lack of discipline in waste disposal and limited knowledge of the impact of non-biodegradable waste have contributed to declining environmental quality and potential health problems. In Buniwangi Village, Pagelaran Subdistrict, Cianjur Regency, these conditions highlight the need for educational programs that provide practical understanding while fostering community awareness. This community service activity aimed to improve residents’ awareness of waste management through visual education media in the form of information boards displaying the decomposition time of various types of waste, ranging from organic to non-organic materials. The implementation method applied an asset-based community development (ABCD) approach, emphasizing active community participation. The program was carried out in three main stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. The preparation stage included location surveys, needs mapping, and obtaining permission from village authorities. The implementation stage involved designing attractive educational boards, installing them at strategic points in the village, and conducting socialization to explain the information provided. The evaluation stage was carried out through direct observation and short interviews to assess the program’s impact on community knowledge and behavior.The results indicated an improvement in residents’ understanding of the differences between biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste. Villagers began to show awareness of reducing single-use plastics and started applying the 3R principles (reduce, reuse, recycle) in daily life. Overall, this program had a positive impact by fostering greater environmental concern and became an initial step toward building a sustainable waste management culture in Buniwangi Village.

This community service program was designed to empower residents of RW 06 Kalibaru, North Jakarta, by transforming local organic waste—such as sawdust and seashells—into a high-value commodity: oyster mushrooms. The training began with a needs assessment to ensure the relevance of the materials, followed by the application of the Adult Education (POD) approach, integrating theoretical and practical learning. The theoretical sessions provided participants with insights into economic prospects, nutritional benefits, and business opportunities, while the practical sessions developed technical skills in substrate preparation, sterilization, inoculation, and mushroom maintenance. The program was reinforced through participatory discussions, demonstrations, and simulations to ensure effective skill transfer. Monitoring and evaluation were conducted via Focus Group Discussions, and continuous mentoring was carried out through field visits, online communication, and the formation of farmer groups as collaborative platforms. As a result, participants demonstrated a significant improvement in knowledge and technical skills, accompanied by greater awareness of the economic potential of previously discarded waste. This initiative not only serves as an innovative solution to environmental problems but also acts as a catalyst for the application of the circular economy, creating micro-enterprise opportunities and strengthening community economic independence. The synergy between universities, the local community, and industry partners is a key factor in sustaining the program, with recommendations for expanding training on product diversification, marketing strategies, and policy support to accelerate business development. Additionally, the success of the program has opened new avenues for sustainable entrepreneurship, particularly in communities with limited resources. The involvement of local stakeholders—such as community leaders and small businesses—has been instrumental in fostering a sense of ownership and shared responsibility for the program's success. The use of organic waste as a resource for mushroom cultivation also aligns with broader environmental goals, such as reducing waste and promoting sustainable practices.

Plastic waste continues to be one of the most pressing environmental problems due to its persistence, excessive use in daily life, and difficulty in decomposition. In many communities, including Tanjung Uban Selatan Village, unmanaged plastic waste accumulates in the environment, contributing to pollution and health risks. This community service activity aims to introduce and implement ecobricks as a simple yet effective solution to manage plastic waste. Ecobricks are not designed to destroy plastic but to recycle and repurpose it into useful and even marketable products. The process of making ecobricks requires no special expertise or significant costs, as the primary material is household plastic waste. The activity involved socialization, practical workshops, and guidance for residents on how to properly produce ecobricks. Results from the program show that residents were able to collect and process previously unmanaged plastic waste into solid, reusable building blocks. These ecobricks have potential applications for creating furniture, decorative items, and even small-scale construction, thereby providing both environmental and economic value. Beyond reducing plastic waste, the initiative also fosters community awareness about sustainable waste management practices and promotes environmental responsibility. In conclusion, the introduction of ecobricks in Tanjung Uban Selatan Village demonstrates that simple innovations can empower communities to transform environmental challenges into opportunities for sustainability and income generation.

The KKN Program of Universitas PGRI Adi Buana Surabaya for the 2024–2025 period in Kajeksan Village, Sidoarjo Regency, focuses on the issue of family food security by implementing a mixed farming system based on the use of used goods. This service method uses Participatory Action Research (PAR) through the stages of to know (identifying problems), to understand (socialization of concepts), to plan (design a system from gallons of mineral water), to act (training and assistance in making hydroponics-aquaponic systems, making fish feed from household waste, and natural vitamins), and to change (evaluation and sustainability). As a result, there is an improvement in community skills with the realization of catfish harvest along with optimal kale growth, opening household business opportunities, and creating a sustainable empowerment model through appropriate technology transfer.

Limited sanitation facilities among street vendors, particularly those selling meatballs, chicken noodles, and porridge, often pose a problem that impacts food safety. One common practice is repeatedly washing bowls and spoons with just a bucket of water, followed by drying the utensils with a cloth. This contaminated water can transmit pathogenic microorganisms that cause foodborne illnesses, increasing the risk of health problems for consumers. This problem requires a practical solution that street vendors can implement, taking into account limited space, mobility, and operational costs. This community service activity used a pre-experimental design method with a simple technological engineering approach to improve the sanitation of tableware. The innovation developed was a portable bowl washer made from used mineral water gallons, modified to be mobile, efficient, and water-efficient. The manufacturing process included design, assembly, testing, and evaluation with street vendors. Success was measured by observing the level of cleanliness of the tableware before and after use, as well as assessing the level of satisfaction and ease of use by the vendors. The results showed that the implementation of this portable sanitation device increased the effectiveness of tableware washing, reduced the repeated use of dirty water, and minimized the risk of cross-contamination. Partnering vendors stated that the device is practical, lightweight, and doesn't disrupt their sales activities. They hope this innovation will be replicated by other vendors and that local governments will consider implementing it as a standard for mobile food sanitation. This effort will not only improve the hygiene of eating utensils but also contribute to preventing foodborne illnesses in the community.

This study uses a qualitative approach through field observations, interviews with residents and related agencies, and secondary data analysis. The results of the study show that waste pollution has a direct impact on the decline in water quality, habitat damage, and the decline in biodiversity at several points in Karawang. In addition, the surrounding community also feels the impact through health problems and reduced agricultural yields. This study recommends the need to strengthen waste management regulations, increase supervision of industry, and involve the community in environmental conservation efforts. These findings are expected to be considered in the formulation of sustainable environmental policies in Karawang.

This study aims to find out the collaboration of actors in waste management in landfills (TPA). This study uses descriptive research using qualitative research methods and using Ratner's (2012) theory which includes Identification of Barriers and Opportunities, Debate Strategies to Influence, and Collaborative Action Planning. There were 5 informants in this study. The results of the study show that the collaboration that occurs in waste management has gone well, but there are still obstacles in overcoming existing problems. To identify obstacles and opportunities, there are situations and needs as well as resources that must be met, the collaboration that occurs between the Environment and Hygiene Agency and the head of waste management and b3 waste has been running but is not optimal enough due to the lack of resources in facilitating infrastructure facilities at landfills. Debate strategies to influence and increase public awareness and understanding require socialization related to understanding how to manage waste properly. The Head of the Environment and Hygiene Agency together with the Head of the B3 Waste Management Division have collaborated with the Mutiara Timor Waste Bank in providing effective socialization to reduce the volume of existing waste, but many people do not understand the socialization. Planning this cooperation action, there is a collaborative implementation strategy where the actors collaborate in planning the right implementation strategy to reduce the volume of waste in the landfill, but the collaboration between the Head of the Environment and Hygiene Agency and the Mutiara Timor Waste Bank has targeted 20% in handling the volume of waste, but the cooperation is only 5% that can reduce the volume of waste in the landfill because the socialization provided is still not understood by the Public. For the purpose and purpose of this cooperation is the target in reducing and handling waste from 2018-2025, if this cooperation runs effectively and successfully, slowly the volume of waste in landfills will decrease by itself.

This community service program aims to implement the concept of Sustainable Islamic Education through the utilization of kitchen waste into ecoenzyme-based soap at Sulaimaniyah Islamic Boarding School in Waru, Surabaya.

Activities included training on ecoenzyme production, natural soap making, Islamic-based environmental education, and the formation of an environmentally conscious student community. The results showed significant improvements in technical skills, environmental awareness, and social collaboration. The soap products created have the potential to be developed into a student-run micro-enterprise based on circular economy principles. This initiative not only offers an ecological solution to waste problems but also strengthens the role of pesantren in nurturing economically empowered and environmentally conscious change agents. The program is expected to serve as a transformative education model that can be replicated in other Islamic boarding schools.

Clean living behavior can be done by maintaining the sustainability of life can be done by reducing waste, saving energy, planting trees, and not littering. Waste sorting can be done by separating organic and inorganic waste into different trash bins. In addition, inorganic waste can also be separated again based on its type, such as plastic, paper, glass, and metal. Facilitates the process of collecting and processing waste for recycling. The Principles of Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) recommend the use of waste sorting methods. The daily habits that we do to maintain personal and environmental cleanliness consist of this behavior. . Along with the emergence of various diseases that often attack children aged 6-12 years, PHBS in schools is a collection of behaviors carried out by students, teachers, and school residents based on learning so that they are able to independently prevent disease, improve their health. Implementation of better waste sorting practices can reduce the negative impact of waste on the environment, increase the efficiency of waste management, and provide long-term benefits for school residents. Schools are one of the places that have great potential to educate students about good waste management. SD Negeri 2 Kelusa has problems related to the lack of student knowledge about waste sorting and utilization, especially organic waste. Most students at SD Negeri 2 Kelusa still have limited understanding of the types of waste and how to process it. Most students do not realize and understand that organic waste can be reused, so they tend to throw it away with other waste.

Household environmental problems such as poor waste management, the practice of burning waste, and limited use of home yards remain major challenges in creating clean and healthy residential areas. Dasawisma, as the smallest unit within the PKK structure, holds a strategic role in fostering environmental awareness and pro-environmental behavior at the family level. This Community Service Program (PkM) aims to build an environmentally caring community through strengthening the role of Dasawisma, improving members' knowledge, and encouraging new habits in household environmental management. The method used a participatory approach consisting of problem identification, interactive counseling sessions, hands-on practice in waste management and yard utilization, and field mentoring. The results indicate an increase in members' understanding of environmental issues, behavioral changes in sorting organic and inorganic waste, simple composting practices, and the cultivation of plants in home yards. In addition, collective awareness and the emergence of local leaders helped sustain the environmental movement within the community. This program demonstrates that strengthening Dasawisma is an effective family-based empowerment strategy to support social transformation toward a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable environment.

Environmental pollution is now a major problem in the development of science. The problem of water pollution is one of the impacts of the development of science itself. The development of environmentally friendly technology for wastewater treatment towards waste-free production is an important step in maintaining environmental sustainability. Household wastewater produced from various sectors has the potential to pollute the environment if not handled properly. The purpose of this community service is to discuss the importance of utilizing environmentally friendly technology in managing household wastewater towards waste-free production. The use of environmentally friendly technology is the main solution in dealing with household wastewater problems, with the potential to create new economic opportunities. To achieve waste-free production, cooperation is needed between the government, industrial sector, academics, and the community. At the household level, at the micro level, it is currently still lacking to meet the need for clean water due to an inadequate waste disposal system. There needs to be design innovation to minimize the impact of environmental water pollution, one of the simple environmentally friendly technologies for treating wastewater is Constructed Wetland (CW) technology. The application of Constructed Wetland (CW) for household wastewater treatment in Cibunut Village, Kebon Pisang Subdistrict, Bandung City using ornamental plants Iris (Iris pseudoacorus), Water Jasmine (Echinodorus palaefolius) and a combination of both for 2 months, showed that the combination of plants was able to reduce COD, TSS and BOD better than single plants, with efficiencies reaching 95%, 94% and 85% respectively.
