Peningkatan Kapasitas Masyarakat melalui Pengolahan Limbah Organik untuk Pupuk Tanaman di Pekarangan Perkotaan

The most sources of waste have been from households in urban area. The urban high population and daily food consumption effect the waste is potential to pollute the environment. Innovation of waste treatment should be applied by local community in urban area to reduce the household waste. This activity was a community service program UGM 2022 and supporting the Bantul Government program "Bantul free of waste 2025". The aims of this program were to improve community capacity and practice through household organic waste treatment. The activity was carried out at the Singosaren Padukuhan, Wukirsari Village, Imogiri, Bantul Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY), in April‒October 2022. The method of program in community were included of field learning by teaching and practicing, community assistance, and evaluation of implementation. The 35 participants of PKK group from Singosaren hamlet joined this program that divided into 6 groups from 5 neighbourhood organisation (Rukun Tentangga). Organic waste process can be processed through fermentation of fresh organic waste (FLOS) or ecoenzyme and into liquid organic fertilizer using the stacked bucket (POCET) for 2–3 months. The FLOS and POCET products of waste fermentation are used as liquid fertilizers for cultivating plants in their yard Pekarangan. FLOS can also be used as multi-purpose liquid cleaner for home appliances. The raw materials included of fruit rind and vegetable waste. The results have showed the community enthusiasm, community capacity on organic waste processing and its utilization independently in the community. The application of FLOS and POCET as plant fertilizer showed better growing of plants in urban home gaden Pekarangan.

Barriers to access prehospital care in Jimma City, Oromiya Region of Ethiopia

Background: African nations experience a significant proportion of the global burden of death and disability. The provision of prehospital emergency care has been shown to partially reduce excess morbidity and mortality. However, access to prehospital care in Africa is still limited. This study sought to identify barriers to access prehospital care in the city of Jimma, Ethiopia.
 Methods: This is phenomenological qualitative study conducted in February 2018, among key stakeholders for prehospital care in Jimma. A purposive sample of individuals from the community and local ambulance organizations were selected for interviews. Interviews were conducted in local languages, translated into English, and then coded for consistent themes. 
 Results: All respondents felt that prehospital care was difficult to access and therefore infrequently utilized. This was due to a combination of a fragmented and under-resourced system, including lack of single dial number and limited number of ambulances; providers availability and practice; poor road infrastructure; and poor public awareness, misconception and mistrust of the existing service. Respondents suggested that establishment of a formalized system of prehospital care operating on a single dial toll-free number, improved resource allocation, awareness raising and capacity building in the community, improving road infrastructure, and improved emergency medical training would improve access. 
 Conclusion: Multiple barriers to accessing prehospital care were identified in Jimma. Establishing a formalized and well-resourced prehospital system in parallel with improving community capacity and knowledge building were suggested solutions to improve access. Hence, interventions to improve prehospital emergency care delivery should ideally target these identified barriers and proposed solutions. 

Social capital: improving community capacity to respond to urban heat

ABSTRACT Urban heat is a growing problem, especially for vulnerable populations who are disproportionately exposed to higher temperatures. Adaptive capacity and, especially, social capital increases recovery from disasters and enhances adaptation. Social capital is declining nationwide and the Sunbelt States, with highest national temperatures, have the lowest levels of social capital. Social capital is situational and reflects a position within the formal and informal aspects of any issue, and frameworks developed for some purposes may not be relevant for others. Few have fully explored social capital's relation to heat vulnerability. There is a need to understand social capital in the context of urban heat to determine if it is present, used, enhanced or is a latent capacity. This research explores indicators and related questions for effective social capital for urban heat. This research was conducted in one of the hottest United States cities, metropolitan Phoenix, Arizona and, while the geographic and cultural context may be different, the findings have applicability to other warming urban centres. Using social capital as a lens to explore heat vulnerability and better metrics for urban heat social capital can inform policies that deepen networks and increase trust, minimise poor public health outcomes, and facilitate more effective community engagement. Effective social capital for extreme heat can provide a roadmap for decision-makers in working towards climate adaptation at the community scale by increasing their understanding of when and how to assist communities in building their capacity.

Risk of suicide death in psychiatric patients according to the level of continuity of care and area deprivation: A population-based nested case-control study

Continuity of care and area deprivation have been implicated as possible risk factors of suicide in psychiatric patients. This nested case-control study aimed to examine the association between continuity of care and area deprivation and suicide death in patients with psychiatric disorders. Data were collected from the Korean National Health Insurance Service National Sample Cohort, 2003–2013. The subjects were 974 patients with psychiatric disorders who completed suicides. Each case was compared to three control cases with propensity score matching by gender, age, and follow-up period with incidence density sampling, comprising the final control group of 2,922 living patients. Hazard ratios (HR) for suicide risk considering continuity of care and area deprivation were analysed using a multiple conditional logistic regression. The average follow-up periods between the case and control groups were not statistically different (case: 277.6 weeks, control: 271.4 weeks, p = .245). Both poor continuity of care and higher area deprivation proved to be associated with increased risk of suicide (poor continuity of care; adjusted HR [AHR]: 3.38, 95% confidence intervals [CI]: 2.58–4.43, highest area deprivation; AHR: 1.93, 95% CI: 1.53–2.44). Poor continuity of care combined with highest area deprivation showed a negative synergistic effect on a highly increased risk of suicide (AHR: 2.88, 95% CI: 1.45–5.74). Age was effect modified between suicide risk and poor continuity of care as well as suicide risk and higher area deprivation. A strong patient-provider relationship with good continuity of care may lead to a lower possibility of suicide in psychiatric patients. Moreover, improving community capacity for suicide prevention as well as appropriate postvention should be addressed.

Mediating antiretroviral treatment for HIV during COVID-19: lessons from implementation in Gomba District, Uganda

Initial and subsequent waves of COVID-19 in Uganda disrupted the delivery of HIV care. In rural areas, village health teams and organisations on the ground had to develop strategies to ensure that people living with HIV could continue their treatment. It was necessary to take evolving circumstances into account, including dealing with movement restrictions, constrained access to food and stigma due to anonymity being lost as a result of a shift from health facility-based services to community-level support. Uganda has a long history of community-driven response to HIV, although health systems and response programming have become more centralised through government and donors to address political commitments to HIV treatment and other targets. The delivery system for antiretroviral therapy was vulnerable to the impacts of COVID-19 restrictions and related circumstances. To understand the continuum of challenges, and to inform ongoing and future support of treatment for people living with HIV, interviews were conducted with HIV organisation implementers, health workers, village health team members and people living with HIV. It was found that stigma was a central challenge, which led to nuanced adaptations for delivering antiretroviral treatment. There is a need to strengthen support to households of people living with HIV through improving community capacity to manage crises through improving household food gardens and savings, as well as capacity to organise and interact with support systems such as the village health teams. In communities, there is a need to evoke dialogue on stigma and to support community leadership on pressing issues that affect communities as a whole and their vulnerable groups. There are opportunities to reawaken the grassroots civic response systems that were evident in Uganda’s early response to HIV yet were lacking in the COVID-19 context.

Social Quality, Knowledge Hiding, and Community Capacity: A Study on Multi-Ethnic Communities in Chinese Cities

Community capacity and knowledge hiding are important for community governance and ethnic unity in multi-ethnic communities. However, existing research is fragmented about what influences community capacity and knowledge hiding. Using social quality theory as a systematic analysis framework, we propose that social quality influences knowledge hiding and community capacity in different ways. We study 19 multi-ethnic communities in China to empirically examine social quality and its impact on community capacity and knowledge hiding, using a qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) method. Our findings suggest that socio-economic security, social inclusion, social cohesion, and social empowerment are complementary; their various combinations can promote community capacity and reduce knowledge hiding. Social inclusion and social cohesion are the primary factors in improving community capacity, while the former is the principal factor in reducing knowledge hiding. Furthermore, different types of communities enhance community capacity and reduce knowledge hiding through different paths.

Impact Of Sustainable Supply Chain Management Practices On Organizational Performance In Ghana

The study explores the impact of ecological supply chain management practices such as Green Supply Chain, environmental and operational management practices of organizational performance in Ghana. The organizational performance was measured based upon three parameters constituting Sustainable Environmental Performance (SENP), Sustainable Economic Performance (SECP), and Competitiveness (COMP). Exogenous factors included the constructs of Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) practices and the single-item construct voluntary adoption of SSCM practices, while endogenous variables included the three aspects of firm performance. The relationship between sustainable management practices and organizational performance was ascertained using Structural Equation Modeling. A few significant results are presented as follows; (1) Environmental Management Practices (EMP) results in enhanced Sustainable Environmental Performance (SENP) and Sustainable Economic Performance (SECP); (2) Organizational Performance has a strong correlation with SECP and COMP; (3) SECP has a substantial and favorable relationship with both competitiveness and sustainable environmental performance, as well as sustainable economic performance. The positive relationship between SSCM practices and firm performance demonstrates that continual sustainable management principles eventually improve community capacity. This ultimately results in an organization’s competitiveness. Additionally, the managerial implications of the results are addressed.

Facing the National Recovery and Resilience Plan: Sources of Data, Indicators, and Participatory Strategies in Healthcare and Social Fields.

Innovation in governance and services should be the target of the Italian National Recovery and Resilience Plan. Monitoring processes, impacts, and outcomes requires a system of new indicators that are practical to collect. Secondary data sources, their availability, and their information potential should be evaluated, and primary sources should be implemented to supplement traditional disease surveillance. This work highlights the most relevant aspects for bridging the mismatching between complex community needs and current health/social supply and how those aspects could be faced. As a result, we propose a structured multi-phases process for setting the design and functionalities of a cooperative information system, built on the integration between secondary and primary data for informing policies about chronic low back pain (CLBP), a widely recognized determinant of disability and significant economic burden. In particular, we propose the Dress-KINESIS, a tool for improving community capacity development and participation that allows one to freely collect big health and social data and link it to existing secondary data. The system also may be able to monitor how the resources are distributed across different care sectors and suggest how to improve efficiency based on the patient’s CLBP risk stratification. Moreover, it is potentially customizable in other fields of health.

PARTICIPATORY LAND USE CONFLICT RESOLUTION: EFFORTS TOWARDS COMMUNITY COLLABORATIVE MANAGEMENT

This research aims to determine the causes of land-use conflicts and formulate a participatory conflict resolution model of the Forest Management Unit (KPH) of Kulawi. Through interviews with respondents using the purposive sampling method. The study included the community around the forest area, local government, KPH, Department of Agriculture, BPDAS-HL, and local government. Data analysis was stakeholder's and land use conflict by using problem trees analysis. The study results show that the battle occurred not only because of the community's factor of accessing the area illegally but also because the KPH has not performed its function correctly. Some factors cause enforcement's failure, such as lack of understanding of the area and community empowerment. Some alternative solutions desired by the community: (1) The government through related agencies should supervise forest areas, (2) Clear boundaries between community-owned land, villages, and forest areas, (3) Community empowerment by utilizing potential forest product resources and (4) Granting management rights to community's forest claimed by the community. There are two models of conflict resolution to be offered. First, the KPH needs the collaboration of parties to resolve land-use conflicts. Second, community involvement as the main subject is significant in every stage of conflict resolution. The KPH supports improving community capacity related to competence in conflict resolution is indispensable.

Efforts have been made to improve the effectiveness of disaster mitigation through the establishment of Disaster Response Students and Disaster Resilient Alumni.

Risk of Suicide Completion in Psychiatric Patients According to the Level of Continuity of Care and Area Deprivation: A Population-Based Nested Case-Control Study

Background: Continuity of care (COC) and area deprivation (AD) have been implicated as possible risk factors of suicide in psychiatric patients. This nested case-control study aimed to examine the association between COC and AD and suicide completion in patients with psychiatric disorders. Methods: Data were collected from the Korean National Health Insurance Service National Sample Cohort, 2003-2013. The subjects were 974 patients with psychiatric disorders who completed suicides. Each case was compared to three control cases with propensity score matching by gender, age, and follow-up period with incidence density sampling, comprising the final control group of 2,922 living patients. Hazard ratios (HR) for suicide risk considering COC and area deprivation were analysed using a multiple conditional logistic regression. Outcomes: The average follow-up periods between the case and control groups were not statistically different (case: 277.6 weeks, control: 271.4 weeks, p = .245). Both poor COC and higher AD proved to be associated with increased risk of suicide (poor COC; adjusted HR [AHR]: 1.90, 95% confidence intervals [CI]: 1.45-2.49, highest AD; AHR: 1.80, 95% CI: 1.16-2.79). Lower COC combined with highest AD showed a negative synergistic effect on a highly increased risk of suicide (AHR: 3.18, 95% CI: 1.64-6.15). Age was effect modified between suicide risk and poor COC as well as suicide risk and higher AD. Interpretation: A strong patient-provider relationship with good COC may lead to a lower possibility of suicide in psychiatric patients. Moreover, improving community capacity for suicide prevention as well as appropriate postvention should be addressed. Funding: None. Declaration of Interest: None of the authors have any financial interests or potential conflicts of interest to declare. Ethical Approval: All personal information in this data were de-identified by the KNHIS before distribution; therefore, the institutional review board of Yonsei University confirmed that this study is eligible for exemption from full institutional review board review.

The consequence of tourist village is the community's psychology and environmental carrying capacity. Good strategy will be able to realize the welfare of the village community. The purpose of this study is to make a tourism development strategy in the Namu Village. Methods of data collection using sampling techniques through interviews and questionnaires with a total samples of 70 respondents. Characteristics of tourism conditions and potential are analyzed by supply-demand. While demand analysis is used to recognize the pattern of visitor demand. Both of these analyzes are used as reference materials for development strategies by strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats SWOT analyzed. Furthermore, based on the Internal Factor Analysis Summary (IFAS), the beauty of Namu and the waterfall become the main attraction for tourist destination. On the other side the disadvantage is the unpreparedness of the Namu village community make them not enough in economically. External Factor Analysis Summary (EFAS), partisanship of the government enable for Namu to be developing in marine tourism. However the threats was come from outside investor which can reduce the role of the community to improve their economy. Based on the analysis of IFAS and EFAS, the Namu Village's tourism development strategy is to improve the quality of tourism objects, increasing the role of the government, looking for investors especially in the transportation sector, improve community capacity. For instance manufacture of fishery products, souvenirs, and culinary. Finally safeguard ecosystems through waste management

The role of indigenous knowledge in integrating scientific and indigenous knowledge for community-based disaster risk reduction: A case of Haikou Village in Ningxia, China

With climate change, the occurrence and severity of disasters has greatly increased over recent decades. The importance of community-based disaster risk reduction (CBDRR) has been emphasized for its vital role in building resilience. It has also been demonstrated that integrating indigenous and scientific knowledge contributes to CBDRR. However, there remain many challenges to further correlate scientific knowledge and local information, such as inadequate communication and poor understanding of local contexts. Few literatures have investigated how indigenous people make efforts to achieve integration of scientific and indigenous knowledge (ISIK) based on their knowledge and practices. This article reveals the theoretical framework of integrating scientific and indigenous knowledge to improve community capacity for disaster risk reduction under certain social development degree. Taking Haikou Village in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region of China as an example, this research explored the vital role of indigenous knowledge during ISIK. The findings show that ISIK that is led by indigenous knowledge from Haikou villagers' initiative, including management and organization, monitoring methods, information dissemination, and propaganda and education, especially overcomes poor understanding of local circumstances from government and scientists. The degree of social development decides the capacity that a community acquires knowledge for disaster risk reduction, and the understanding and acceptance of scientific knowledge, which further affects the application of knowledge for CBDRR and the mode and depth of ISIK. The study reveals five stage of ISIK varied by social development degree of community and provides some references for choosing proper ISIK model under specific background.

Improving Community Capacity in Rapid Disaster Mapping: An Evaluation of Summer School

Experiences with natural disasters have intensified recent efforts to enhance cooperation mechanisms among official disaster management institutions to community participation. These experiences reveal a need to enhance rapid mapping technical assistance to be developed and shared among young scientists through a summer school. However, the question arose of how effective this summer school to be used as a tool to increase scientists’ understanding and capacity. This study sought to evaluate the extent to which human resource capacity building can be effectively implemented. The methods used for this evaluation is through observations, questionnaires and a weighted scoring based on knowledge, skills and attitudes’ criteria. The results indicate a significant improvement in knowledge (94.56%), skills (82%) and attitudes (85.20%) among the participants. Even though there are still gaps in participants’ skills, the summer school was found to be an effective way to train the young scientists for rapid mapping.

\u201cIf you understand you cope better with it\u201d: the role of education in building palliative care capacity in four First Nations communities in Canada

BackgroundIn Canada, there is a growing need to develop community-based, culturally appropriate palliative care for Indigenous people living in First Nations communities. The public health approach to palliative care, which emphasizes community-based initiatives, is especially relevant in First Nations communities because care is grounded in their distinct social and cultural context. Central to the public health approach are educational strategies that strengthen communities’ capacity to care for their vulnerable members as they die. This paper presents community-based research conducted with First Nations communities in Canada that aimed to assess and address local palliative care educational needs to improve community capacity in palliative care.MethodsParticipatory action research (PAR) was conducted with four First Nations communities in Canada over a six-year period (2010–2016). The research occurred in three phases. Phase 1: focus groups, interviews and surveys were employed to assess community specific needs and resources. Phase 2: recommendations were developed to guide the PAR process. Phase 3: educational resources were created to address the identified educational needs. These resources were implemented incrementally over 4 years. Ongoing process evaluation was employed, and revisions were made as required.ResultsEducational needs were identified for patients, families, community members and internal and external health care providers. A wide and comprehensive range of educational resources were created to address those needs. Those culturally appropriate educational resources are available in a very accessible and useable workbook format and are available for use by other Indigenous people and communities.ConclusionsThis research provides an example of the public health approach and offers implementation strategies around palliative care education. This paper contributes to the international literature on the public health approach to palliative care by presenting a case study from Canada that includes: conducting a culturally appropriate assessment of educational needs, creating recommendations, facilitating development and implementation of educational resources in the community to improve community capacity in palliative care.

LO04: Health effects of training laypeople to deliver emergency care in underserviced populations: preliminary results of a systematic review

Introduction: The World Health Organization recommends emergency care training for laypeople in low-resource settings, but the effects of these programs on patient outcomes and community health have not been systematically reviewed. Our objective was to identify the individual and community health effects of educating laypeople to deliver emergency care in low-resource settings. Methods: We conducted a systematic review to address this question: in low-resource populations (P), does emergency care education for laypeople (I) confer any measurable effect on patient morbidity and mortality, or community capacity and resilience for emergency health conditions (O), in comparison with no training or other education(C)? We searched 12 electronic databases and grey literature for quantitative studies. We conducted duplicate and independent title and abstract screening, methodological and outcomes extraction, and study quality assessment using the Effective Public Health Practice Tool. We developed a narrative summary of findings. (PROSPERO: CRD42014009685) Results: We reviewed 16,017 abstracts and 372 full-text papers. 38 met inclusion criteria. Most topically relevant papers were excluded because they assessed educational outcomes. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation training (6 papers) improved cardiac arrest survival and enhanced capacity to respond to cardiac arrest in rural Norway, Denmark and commercial aircraft operations. A public education campaign in remote Denmark improved absolute cardiac arrest survival by 5.4% (95%CI 2-12). Lay trauma training (12 papers) reduced absolute injury mortality and improved community capacity in Iraq, Cambodia, Iran and Indigenous New Zealand communities. A trauma care program in Iraq and Cambodia reduced absolute mortality by 25% (95%CI 17.2-33). Education for mothers on paediatric fevers in Ethiopia was associated with 40% relative reductions in under-5 mortality (95%CI 29.2-50.6). Similar training improved access to care for paediatric malnutrition, malaria, pneumonia, and gastrointestinal disease in Nigeria, Kenya, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Mali, and India (13 papers). Overdose education and naloxone distribution was associated with reductions in opioid overdose deaths (3 papers), including in Massachusetts where high-uptake communities for overdose education had significantly lower overdose fatality rates than no-uptake communities (rate ratio 0.54, 95%CI 0.39-0.76). Community education improved measures of access to emergency care for remote Indigenous populations in Canada, Alaska and Nepal (3 papers) and adolescent mental health capacity in Australia (1 paper). Studies were of low or medium quality. Conclusion: In addition to established interventions for injury and cardiac arrest, emergency care training can improve community capacity in underserviced populations, and save lives in opioid overdose, paediatric infectious disease and malnutrition.

Lingga Isaq Hunting Park as A Basis for Sustainable Management: A Socio-Economic Study

The management of conservation and socio economic condition of surrounding communities are always connected each other. The similar case can be found in Lingga Isaq Hunting Park (LIHP), one of the conservation areas located in Aceh Province. This study is aimed to examine socio-economic conditions of the community around LIHP as the basic data to improve the effectiveness of area management. Data were collected through a technical survey by interviewing 120 respondents who were randomly selected from two sub districts namely; Bintang and Linge where each sub district consists of three villages. The results showed that 52.57% of total community income is obtained from coffee plantation which planted within the LIHP area. The level of hunting park contribution to community income, indicates that the communities are highly relies on LIHP area. However, the level of community participation is very low either individually or as a group. The participation is limited to securing and maintaining the area from the forest fires. Local community wisdom is still applied in land clearing and hunting method within the area. Supervision, fostering partnership, relationships between communities and LIHP managers are required to improve community capacity and conservation awareness. As in return, it will reduce community dependence and utilization of LIHP’s land. This study also recommends the need to actively engage with non-governmental organisation or civil society as part of LIHP’s sustainable management. It is intended to improve community welfare and provide opportunities for local wisdom development in the management of LIHP.

Evaluation of the Healthy Lifestyles Initiative for Improving Community Capacity for Childhood Obesity Prevention.

Purpose and ObjectivesPolicy, systems, and environmental approaches are recommended for preventing childhood obesity. The objective of our study was to evaluate the Healthy Lifestyles Initiative, which aimed to strengthen community capacity for policy, systems, and environmental approaches to healthy eating and active living among children and families.Intervention ApproachThe Healthy Lifestyles Initiative was developed through a collaborative process and facilitated by community organizers at a local children’s hospital. The initiative supported 218 partners from 170 community organizations through training, action planning, coalition support, one-on-one support, and the dissemination of materials and sharing of resources.Evaluation MethodsEighty initiative partners completed a brief online survey on implementation strategies engaged in, materials used, and policy, systems, and environmental activities implemented. In accordance with frameworks for implementation science, we assessed associations among the constructs by using linear regression to identify whether and which of the implementation strategies were associated with materials used and implementation of policy, systems, and environmental activities targeted by the initiative.ResultsEach implementation strategy was engaged in by 30% to 35% of the 80 survey respondents. The most frequently used materials were educational handouts (76.3%) and posters (66.3%). The most frequently implemented activities were developing or continuing partnerships (57.5%) and reviewing organizational wellness policies (46.3%). Completing an action plan and the number of implementation strategies engaged in were positively associated with implementation of targeted activities (action plan, effect size = 0.82; number of strategies, effect size = 0.51) and materials use (action plan, effect size = 0.59; number of strategies, effect size = 0.52). Materials use was positively associated with implementation of targeted activities (effect size = 0.35).Implications for Public HealthCommunity-capacity–building efforts can be effective in supporting community organizations to engage in policy, systems, and environmental activities for healthy eating and active living. Multiple implementation strategies are likely needed, particularly strategies that involve a high level of engagement, such as training community organizations and working with them on structured action plans.

Pemilahan Sampah: Satu Tahap Menuju Masyarakat Mandiri Dalam Pengelolaan Sampah

Addressing the problem of waste management using the principle of Collect-Transport-Dump ( Kumpul-Angkut-Buang ) is no longer relevant since it does not solve the source of the problem that is the generated waste from household. As the highest waste generator, household waste management is crucial to reduce the waste volume dumped in the landfill. This means that active participation from the community is a must in waste management and for the community to know how to sort the waste and be able to do it is a necessity. The community service discussed in this article is one of the efforts to improve community capacity in Dusun Sruni , Cangkringan Sub-district, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta in managing the waste generated from their household by adapting the self-managed waste management well implemented in other cities in Indonesia. The steps implemented in the com-munity service as well as the expected results are described in this article. The findings on the potential problems in educating the community-based waste management as well as futher plans activities to the sustainability of the waste management are also discussed in this article.
