Implementasi Sistem Pembukuan Digital Bank_Sampah dan Edukasi Lingkungan sebagai Upaya Peningkatan Partisipasi Masyarakat Lingkungan RT. 07 Kelurahanan Penurunan Kota Bengkulu

Abstract

Community-based waste management remains a significant challenge in urban neighborhoods, particularly at the local community level. The waste bank in RT 07 RW 03, Penurunan Subdistrict, Bengkulu City, has been operating but still faces several issues, including manual transaction recording, limited data transparency, and low community participation. This program aims to implement a digital bookkeeping system for the waste bank integrated with environmental education to increase community participation. The methods include problem identification, designing a simple digital bookkeeping system, training waste bank managers and residents, and providing environmental education on waste management and the economic benefits of waste banks. The results indicate that the digital bookkeeping system improves recording accuracy, information accessibility, and transparency in waste bank management. Continuous environmental education also enhances public awareness and participation in waste sorting and waste deposit activities. Therefore, the integration of digital bookkeeping and environmental education is an effective approach to strengthening community-based waste bank management.
