Social Awareness and Ecotheology in Community Waste Management in Sawarna Timur Village
Kesadaran Sosial dan Ekoteologi dalam Pengelolaan Sampah Masyarakat Desa Sawarna Timur
Abstract
Waste management in rural areas reflects not only technical issues but also the construction of community social awareness. This study aims to examine the level of social awareness of the people of Sawarna Timur Village, Bayah District, Lebak Regency, Banten Province, as well as the social dynamics that influence waste management behavior. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and focus group discussions involving village officials, community leaders, RT/RW heads, housewives, youth, and traders. The results indicate that community social awareness remains at a low level, reflected in the practice of throwing waste into rivers, burning waste in yards, and burying waste in vacant lots as socially normalized habits. This condition is influenced by limited infrastructure, low environmental education, the weak role of village institutions, and social norms that do not support ecological behavior. Nevertheless, the values of mutual cooperation and local leadership emerged as social capital that has the potential to encourage the formation of collective awareness. This study emphasizes that increasing social awareness requires a holistic approach that integrates education, community participation, institutional strengthening, and sustainable infrastructure support.
