Swadaya Masyarakat: Implementasi Metode Takakura dalam Pengelolaan Sampah Organik di Kampung Purbonegaran, Yogyakarta

Abstract

Waste management is a serious issue, particularly in densely populated urban areas like Yogyakarta City. This study aims to analyze community-driven self-help programs through the Takakura method application, using a participatory action research approach in the management of organik waste in Kampung Purbonegaran, Yogyakarta. The full capacity of the final disposal site (TPA) Piyungan prompted the city government to implement limits on waste accumulation through several regulations. This situation highlights the importance of waste management innovation, one of which is Takakura. The Takakura composting method is presented as a form of organic waste processing innovation by centralizing waste-decomposing fermentation that prevents unpleasant odors. The research was conducted by the KKN-PPM team from Universitas Gadjah Mada through socialization and an action program for creating composters in Kampung Purbonegaran. The implementation results showed high interest and participation from the community of Kampung Purbonegaran. The self-provision of Takakura Baskets was done by 35 people out of 40 members, or reaching 80.7% of PKK members. This initiative fostered gradual social change through cognitive understanding, embedding affective awareness, forming psychomotor skills, and the spirit of behavioral change conatively. This form of social change facilitated the adoption of the Takakura method in the processing of organik waste among 35 PKK members representing the heads of families. The success of this program contributes to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for environmental preservation.
