The Effectiveness of Socialization of Loading and Transportation of Goods on Freight Transport Drivers in Kintamani Tourist Village Bangli

Abstract

The need for freight transportation services is crucial in the distribution of goods. Currently, freight transportation predominantly relies on land routes, with many vehicles observed to be of the pickup type. Therefore, there is a necessity for socialization activities to enhance knowledge, both in theory and practice, in the field. This awareness is manifested through the implementation of socialization activities regarding loading and transportation procedures in the Kintamani Tourist Village, Bangli. The purpose of these activities is to reduce the risk of accidents in freight transportation and create optimal safety and security conditions during the loading process. The socialization activities involve various components, such as theoretical presentations in a room, distribution of brochures, pamphlets, and stickers containing information about loading and transportation procedures. Additionally, there are interactive interviews between lecturers, students, and the community to discuss the correct procedures in the process. The method used in this writing is a field survey method with a qualitative descriptive approach. Evaluation of these socialization activities indicates that initially, most freight drivers had limited knowledge of loading and transportation procedures according to applicable regulations. However, after participating in the socialization, there was a significant improvement in the understanding and awareness of the community regarding loading and transportation procedures. This socialization about procedures also successfully brought about positive changes in the behavior of the community. It is hoped that freight drivers can disseminate understanding and insight into loading and transportation procedures, as well as adhere to the regulations stipulated in the law as a guide for conducting freight transportation in accordance with prevailing standards and procedures.
