Education-Based Community Empowerment Model
through Waste Banks in the Fuel Terminal Samarinda CSR Program
INTRODUCTION
Waste is a special concern because it is related to environmental and public health issues.
Waste is a residual material that has a negative impact if not managed properly.
Unhandled waste will have a negative impact on the deterioration of environmental quality (Fauziah et al.
, 2.
addition, waste that is not managed properly has a negative impact on public health (Kefi et , 2022.
Qulia et al.
, 2021.
Rappe & Wahyuni, 2.
This is what makes waste always the main topic in studies related to environmental quality, including in Indonesia.
The waste problem itself is one of the global problems initiated by various worlds in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG.
These waste management efforts support the achievement of the SDGs, namely reducing urban environmental impact per capita by 2030, with an emphasis on improving air quality and urban waste management (Sudirman & Phradiansah, 2.
Based on this, attention to waste should be the concern of all considering the negative impact caused by the existence of waste.
Waste handling itself can be carried out through a study of factors that affect the presence of From a scientific point of view, waste comes from the lack of community empowerment in waste management so that the waste produced is wasted and causes various problems.
The lack of awareness in the community is a trigger for environmental damage itself, such as the lack of waste management resulting from their daily activities (Islamiyah et al.
, 2022.
Mustangin et al.
, 2.
This proves that handling waste problems can be carried out through the process of increasing public awareness so as to produce people who have the ability to manage waste.
Efforts that can be taken from the waste problem are to carry out education for the community.
Education is an effort to improve a person's abilities as shown by changes in knowledge, skills, and changes in good attitudes (Fitriawati et al.
, 2021.
Maharani et al.
, 2021.
Mustangin, 2020.
Mustangin et al.
, 2022.
Triwinarti, 2.
Efforts to increase community capacity as previously explained are one of the roles of education.
The education in this study is not only in school education or formal education.
However, there is non-formal education which is an education to provide functional skills to the community, especially adult people who cannot afford to return to formal education to get material on waste Non-formal education in its implementation is directed at learning for adults (Doloksaribu et al.
, 2024.
Ghazali & Wahyuni, 2021.
Ridwan et al.
, 2024.
Sabrina et al.
, 2022.
Saraka, 2020.
Taba et al.
, 2.
So that the implementation of this community development can be carried out through non-formal education.
In addition, non-formal education is also related to the goal of community empowerment so that non-formal education can be used as a way to empower the community (Mustangin et al.
, 2021.
Yunika et al.
, 2.
Based on this study, non-formal education is one of the alternatives in community empowerment.
One of the community empowerment programs to overcome waste problems is the Waste Bank Program.
Efforts to support waste management can be carried out by implementing empowerment programs that focus on increasing public awareness and independence in managing household waste through waste bank mechanisms (Mustafirin et al.
, 2.
Waste banks not only educate the community in waste management but also provide economic benefits so that the existence of waste banks has another function not only to increase public awareness of waste management but also to provide opportunities for people to get economic benefits from waste management.
Waste banks also teach how to save by using waste such as the per bank system so that waste banks can also increase family welfare from their Niba.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Community empowerment through education is a way to empower the community that focuses on community capacity building.
Education itself has the function of improving the quality of society so that people have knowledge, qualified skills and have a good attitude.
This is a way to handle the waste problem which is a current environmental problem.
The community often ignores the problem of waste while waste that is not managed properly causes various negative impacts such as declining environmental quality and threatening public health.

Education-Based Community Empowerment Model through Waste Banks in the Fuel Terminal Samarinda CSR Program The Waste Bank program is an alternative community empowerment program to overcome waste problems while educating the community to have the capacity to manage waste, especially household waste.
Education and community empowerment through Waste Banks is one of the effective ways to overcome this increasingly urgent waste problem (Refai et al.
This suggests that waste banks can be a means of public education in terms of waste Community Empowerment as a Means of Learning Waste Management Community empowerment in the Sehati Village Program is interpreted as a social learning process that takes place in stages.
Empowerment is not only perceived as an instant economic change, but also as an increase in public knowledge and concern for waste management.
This process is related to increasing public awareness of waste management.
In the community empowerment process, there are awareness activities which aim to make the community aware to be involved in activities.
This waste bank is one of the means to facilitate the community in waste management, through awareness and the formation of conscious behavior on the importance of managing waste properly, fostering an insight into independence in the community so that it is expected to be able to independently and be aware of the importance of protecting the environment (Mustafirin et al.
, 2.
Waste banks function as a means of community empowerment in waste management through increasing awareness and forming environmentally caring behaviors.
Its existence encourages the growth of community independence so that they are able to manage waste independently and have a sustainable awareness of the importance of protecting and preserving the environment.
In the waste bank program, there is a process of learning the community which begins by increasing public knowledge about waste management.
So that people who previously did not know about waste management will know.
This shows that there is a learning process to increase public knowledge related to waste management.
Community building activities are closely related to empowering the community in waste management and developing it because in addition to fighting waste problems and environmental cleanliness, it encourages the community to be more active and full of initiative (Syafruddin et al.
, 2.
Community development activities have a strong relationship with community empowerment and development efforts in waste management.
In addition to aiming to overcome waste and environmental cleanliness problems, this activity also encourages the community to play a more active, independent, and initiative role through the use of waste banks as a forum for participation and strengthening community capacity.
Waste Bank as a Space for Community Skills Practice The waste bank in the Kampung Sehati Program functions as a social practice space where people interact, learn, and build waste management habits.
In its implementation at the Ramli Ceseri Waste Bank, there are skill practice activities that make the community have technical capabilities in waste management.
These skills include waste sorting skills and for managers in the form of weighing waste and recording waste weighing results.
The community empowerment program not only increases community knowledge but also trains people to have technical knowledge of waste management.
Empowerment has a meaning as an effort to increase target capacity and build awareness to have confidence (Octavia, 2020.
Suhartini et al.
, 2.
This proves that in the process of community empowerment there are community skill practice activities for waste sorting.
This empowerment approach cannot be separated from the role of education as the main pillar in strengthening community capacity Niba.

, 2.
In the implementation of community empowerment itself, as previously explained, there is an education process to improve community skills.
In the management of waste banks, the community needs to be equipped with skills that will later be used for community independence in waste management.
Without active support and participation from the community in collecting, sorting, and using waste banks, waste bank operations can be disrupted and face challenges in waste collection and sorting (Pricilla et al.
This ability is the basis for community capacity development in waste bank Therefore, education of these skills is one of the important skills in improving waste bank management.
CONCLUSION
Community empowerment through education is a strategic approach in increasing community capacity to manage waste sustainably.
Through the Waste Bank Program, the empowerment process not only focuses on economic aspects, but also on social learning that fosters knowledge, skills, awareness, and concern for the environment.
The waste bank acts as an educational facility as well as a space for skills practice, where people learn to sort, manage, and manage waste administration independently.
The success of this program is highly determined by the active participation of the community supported by a continuous education Thus, waste banks are not only a solution to waste and environmental cleanliness problems, but also a vehicle to strengthen community independence, initiative, and capacity in maintaining environmental quality and health in a sustainable manner.
