Revitalisasi Danau Meduyan melalui Gotong Royong, Meduyan Ekspo, dan Penyediaan Tempat Sampah Mewujudkan Lingkungan

Abstract

Lake Meduyan is a potential tourist attraction and public space with ecological, social, and economic value for the community. However, the lake's littered condition and lack of public awareness of environmental cleanliness have led to a decline in the area's quality. Through the Community Service Program (KKN), students, along with the village government and community, implemented Lake Meduyan revitalization activities through three main programs: mass mutual cooperation, the Meduyan Expo, and the provision of trash bins. The implementation method used a participatory approach, involving all elements of the community from the planning, implementation, and evaluation stages. The results of the activities indicate a cleaner environment at Lake Meduyan, increased public awareness of waste management, and increased community enthusiasm through the Meduyan Expo, which served as a promotional tool for local tourism potential. This program demonstrates that collaboration between students, the village government, and the community can create a cleaner, more comfortable environment and support the sustainability of the Lake Meduyan area as a village tourism destination. A community-based, participatory approach is an effective strategy for supporting the success of environmental revitalization.
