Implementasi Program Sampah Mart sebagai Upaya Menumbuhkan Kepedulian Lingkungan Bagi Siswa di Sekolah Adiwiyata (Studi Kasus di SMK Negeri 6 Malang)

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation strategy, indicators of students'
environmental awareness growth, supporting factors, as well as obstacles and solutions in
the implementation of the Sampah Mart program at SMK Negeri 6 Malang, an Adiwiyata
school. This program educates students on waste management with economic value
through a system of exchanging, saving, and donating waste (GRADASI). This research
employs a qualitative method with a case study approach, using data collection techniques
such as interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings indicate that the
implementation of the Sampah Mart program has a positive impact on students'
environmental awareness, as reflected in their habits of sorting waste, active participation in
the program, and behavioral changes towards environmental care. Supporting factors for the
program's success include school community support, budget availability, collaboration with
the Adiwiyata Team and the Eco Smart extracurricular club, as well as media exposure.
However, challenges such as students' lack of awareness, negative stigma, budget
constraints, and limited school community involvement persist. These challenges are
addressed through intensive education, personal approaches, and collaboration with
external parties. The sustainability of this program is ensured through continuous education
and dissemination to other schools, expanding its positive impact in fostering an
environmentally conscious culture.
