Strategi Peranan Mahasiswa dalam Meningkatkan Optimalisasi RT Sehat untuk Kesehatan Lingkungan

Abstract

This community service discusses the role of UNUSIDA academics in supporting the RT Sehat program in Tebel Village RT 07 RW 03 to improve environmental health and public awareness of healthy lifestyles. Through a participatory approach, students conducted surveys, interviews, and direct observations. They carried out activities such as morning exercise, hydroponic education, utilization of medicinal plants, and processing of used cooking oil. As a result, there was an increase in community participation in maintaining environmental cleanliness and sustainably implementing healthy lifestyles. The uniqueness of this program lies in integrating innovations such as hydroponics for narrow land and cross-faculty student collaboration. These findings show the potential for cooperation between higher education institutions and the community as a model for developing community-based programs in the future.
