Abstract: Community service initiatives grounded in coastal ecosystems represent a tangible manifestation of the non-military defense paradigm, which is increasingly relevant in addressing multidimensional threats. The activity, conducted… onducted by the Faculty of Defense Strategy at the Republic of Indonesia Defense University (Unhan RI) in Kampung Bahari Nusantara, Sidodadi Village, Teluk Pandan Subdistrict, Pesawaran Regency, South Lampung, on May 22, 2026, involved the planting of 5,000 mangrove seedlings, environmental education, and the distribution of basic food aid to 300 fishers. This article analyzes these activities within the conceptual frameworks of coastal area resilience, sustainable ecosystem management, and the synergy between defense institutions, academia, and local communities. Employing a descriptive-qualitative approach through participatory observation and literature review, the findings indicate that mangrove rehabilitation not only contributes to mitigating coastal abrasion and climate change impacts but also strengthens the socio-economic resilience of coastal communities and serves as a vehicle for instilling the values of national defense among students. This activity recommends the reinforcement of the Kampung Bahari Nusantara program as a model for inclusive and sustainable coastal empowerment and proposes the integration of the silvofishery concept to enhance the economic value of mangrove conservation.

Abstract: Green culture, an organizational approach centered on environmental consciousness and practices, plays an increasingly significant role in promoting Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study investigates the influence… ence of green culture on the progress of SDGs, focusing on the integration of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) as a moderating variable. Through this exploration, we aim to understand how GCG can either enhance or hinder the effectiveness of green culture initiatives toward achieving specific SDG targets. This research uses a quantitative approach, analyzing data from organizations implementing green culture practices alongside structured GCG frameworks. Results indicate that companies that prioritize green culture see measurable improvements in meeting SDG objectives, especially in areas like resource management, waste reduction, and energy efficiency. The moderation effect of GCG shows that governance policies significantly influence the success of green initiatives, either amplifying their benefits or presenting challenges in aligning with sustainability goals. Key findings highlight that effective GCG not only supports environmental practices but also enhances organizational transparency and stakeholder trust. This study underscores the need for organizations to adopt integrated approaches where green culture and GCG work in synergy to maximize the positive impacts on SDG achievements. Such a framework can serve as a model for sustainable development, providing a pathway for businesses to balance profitability with global environmental and social responsibilities.

Optimization of Household Waste Management in Manado City

Christianson Kapojos, Chandra, H. E. Sendouw, Recky, Rahman Dilapanga, Abdul
Abstract: Garbage in Indonesia is a serious problem that has social, economic and cultural impacts. Waste management in almost all cities in Indonesia is experiencing problems, mainly due to the lack of Final Processing Sites (TPA).… ). As a result, people often throw garbage in rivers, ditches, rivers and the sea. With a population that is in the top 10 in the world, Indonesia's waste production reached 65 million tons in 2016. Garbage causes various problems in society, including natural disasters such as floods. The lack of public awareness in disposing of waste in the appropriate place, as well as the lack of selection and recycling of waste, has an impact on natural disasters and damaged environment. The government needs to learn from the experience of the disaster and take preventive steps. The responsibility for waste management lies not only with the community, but also with the local government. The government needs to regulate and inform the public about proper waste management, as well as provide facilities that assist in waste management. The scale of waste management is carried out through the collection, transfer, processing and transportation of waste to the TPA. With population growth and regional development, the amount of waste generated is increasing. To maintain environmental sustainability, it is necessary to limit and reduce waste generation. Waste can also be turned into a resource through recycling and reuse. Therefore, the government makes national policies and strategies as well as guidelines for local governments in managing household waste and the like. Manado City refers to Regional Regulation Number 1 of 2021 in waste management. However, the volume of waste in Manado City continues to increase along with the rapid population growth. Limited garbage collection vehicles have caused some waste to go unmanaged and accumulate in rivers, drainages and other places. Lack of trash bins, delays in transporting waste from TPS to TPA, and poor TPA management are also problems. Research shows that there are several violations in waste management in Manado, such as a lack of public awareness in disposing of waste, the minimum number of garbage collection fleets, and delays in waste transportation. Garbage is still scattered in various corners of the city, including the coast and rivers. TPA management is also not optimal, causing public health and hygiene to be disrupted. Public awareness to dispose of garbage at the specified time is still lacking. In order to overcome this problem, it is necessary to increase public awareness, improve waste collection facilities and fleets, and improve the effective management of landfills. With these steps, it is hoped that waste management in Indonesia, especially in Manado City, can reduce its negative impact and become more sustainable.
