Peningkatan Kepedulian dan Partisipasi Mahasiswa dalam Menjaga Kebersihan dan Kelestarian Lingkungan Kampus Institut Budi Utomo Nasional

Abstract

This community service activity aims to  enhance students’ awareness and  participation in maintaining campus cleanliness and environmental sustainability. The main problem addressed is the low level of student awareness regarding environmental care, as reflected in their lack of concern for cleanliness. The method applied in this program is a participatory and educative approach through observation and documentation. The participatory approach involves students directly in environmental cleaning and management activities, while the educative approach is carried out through socialization and awareness programs about the importance of environmental preservation.  The  results  indicate  an  increase  in  students’  understanding, awareness,  and participation in maintaining campus cleanliness. This is reflected in positive behavioral changes, where students become more responsible and actively involved in environmental activities. Based on observation and documentation results, this program is considered effective in encouraging positive behavioral change among students. Therefore, participatory and educative approaches can serve as effective strategies to improve environmental awareness among students.
