Penanaman Mangrove di Kawasan Ekoeduwisata Bandar Bakau Dumai Sebagai Upaya Pencegahan Masalah Kesehatan

Febrian Syahputra — 2025-12-30

Dumai City is located on the east coast of Sumatra, facing the Strait of Malacca. Dumai's coastal location puts it at risk of disasters such as tidal flooding. Tidal flooding is a phenomenon caused by sea tides exceeding normal levels, resulting in flooding. This disaster can be very detrimental because it causes infrastructure damage and can even lead to loss of life. Furthermore, this disaster can also significantly impact the health of coastal communities. One cause is dirty floodwater mixed with waste, which can have negative health effects, especially on skin health due to direct contact with polluted water. Some examples of problems that arise include itching, irritation, bacterial or fungal infections, and other skin diseases. Various efforts can be made to prevent this incident. One effort that can be done is to prevent tidal flooding by planting mangroves and educating coastal communities about various skin problems that arise from tidal flooding. Planting mangroves is one form of prevention against seawater overflowing onto land. Mangrove ecosystems are forests that grow in coastal areas with brackish or salty water. Mangroves have strong roots that extend into the mud, providing a remarkable natural defense against tidal flooding and coastal erosion. Therefore, actions such as planting mangrove seedlings in areas adjacent to the sea can be taken as a form of environmental awareness and to anticipate tidal flooding. Based on these issues, a community service activity was carried out, namely planting 12 mangrove seedlings as a form of effort to prevent skin diseases and tidal flooding.

Through the 2025 MBKM Community Service Program (KUKERTA) of Universitas Riau, a legal education initiative was conducted in Bukit Melintang Village to enhance public understanding of the criminal justice system and the role of LBH in providing legal assistance. The activity employed a participatory approach through lectures, interactive discussions, case simulations, and the creation of legal educational media. Based on a survey involving 40 participants, the community’s understanding of the criminal justice system increased from 25% before the activity (pre-test) to 85% after the activity (post-test). Knowledge regarding the role of LBH rose from 30% to 90%, and the willingness of the community to access legal services increased from 40% to 75%. These improvements were measured through pre-test and post-test surveys as well as evaluative interviews with participants and village officials. Community enthusiasm was reflected in their active participation during discussions and their encouragement for the program to be continued. The activity also resulted in a recommendation to establish a Village Legal Consultation Post in Bukit Melintang as a sustainable follow-up effort. Therefore, this program not only strengthens the community’s legal literacy but also contributes significantly to realizing Bukit Melintang Village as a Law-Aware Village (Desa Sadar Hukum).

Ahmad Jamaan — 2025-12-30

Household waste, particularly used cooking oil, remains a significant issue in Indonesia. Data from the National Waste Management Information System (2024) show that households contribute 50.8% of the national waste generation. In Simpang Baru, used cooking oil is generally discarded without processing, posing risks to the environment and public health. This study aims to enhance community awareness and skills, especially among women, in transforming used cooking oil into value-added products through the Eco Candle innovation. The research employed a qualitative approach through interviews with 72 respondents and field observations, followed by a workshop on Eco Candle production with housewives from RW 06, 07, and 08. Activities included socialization, hands-on practice in making aromatherapy candles, and continued mentoring. Findings reveal that 28 respondents (38.9%) were unaware of waste benefits, while 44 (61.1%) recognized its potential, but only 18 (25%) had experience managing it. Waste management practices were grouped into four categories: active (19.4%), economic (22.2%), passive (26.4%), and non-management (31.9%). The workshop received positive responses, reflected in participants’ independent practices. These findings highlight the gap between knowledge and practice while underscoring women’s role as agents of change. The Eco Candle program supports SDG 12 by reducing waste, raising awareness, and creating household-based economic opportunities.

Pemberdayaan Masyarakat melalui Program Penanaman Tanaman Obat Keluarga (TOGA) di Posyandu Kapodang

Timotius Agung Soripada — 2025-12-30

Family Medicinal Plants (TOGA) are beneficial plants commonly cultivated in home gardens and managed directly by families as a form of easily accessible traditional medicine. In Bukit Batrem Village, limited access to health facilities and low public awareness of alternative natural remedies pose significant challenges to public health. Through the Community Service Program (KKN), our team addressed this issue by establishing a TOGA garden at the Kapodang Integrated Health Post (Posyandu), which serves as an educational tool and practical health resource. This initiative targets the Bukit Batrem community, particularly mothers and the elderly who frequently rely on Posyandu services, with the goals of: (1) increasing health independence through local medicinal plants, (2) optimizing underutilized land, and (3) reviving traditional knowledge of herbal medicine. Methods used included community outreach, direct planting (using polybags and open land), and labeling plants with scientific/local names and health benefits. Results showed an increase in community understanding of the benefits of TOGA, especially for common ailments such as hypertension (cat's whiskers), digestive problems (turmeric), and infections (galangal). The success of the program (90% target achievement) demonstrates TOGA's potential as a sustainable solution to address the health service gap in Bukit Batrem, while also encouraging environmental management.
