Abstract

Waste management is an important thing that should be taught from an early age, especially elementary school age, as well as to increase student awareness of the environment. Sampah Sahabatku Educational Park which is located in Muntang, Kemangkon, Purbalingga, Central Java is a public organization that focuses on waste management. One of Sampah Sahabatku Educational Park's partners in waste management education for children is SD Negeri 1 Muntang. The purpose of this research is to find out, study, and describe the role of Sampah Sahabatku Educational Park in increasing the environmental care character of SD Negeri 1 Muntang students. This research uses a descriptive-qualitative approach to data collection methods of observation, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis technique of this research is descriptive-qualitative. Sampah Sahabatku Educational Park provides knowledge on how to dispose, sort, and process waste into saleable goods with the concept of learning while playing. The socialization activities caried out by Sampah Sahabatku Educational Park were able to improve the environmental care character of SD Negeri 1 Muntang students, but continuous and intense education is still needed so that all students are able to manage various types of waste properly. In addition, training is needed to process waste into saleable crafts so that it can become a Projek Penguatan Profil Pelajar Pancasila (P5) program from SD Negeri 1 Muntang.
