    Bandung City Government and LLDIKTI Region IV Launch a Waste Handling Program Involving 99 Universities: Unikom is One of the Driving Parents

    BANDUNG, UNIKOM – The issue of waste has become a major problem that continues to threaten environmental sustainability in Bandung. In response, the Bandung City Government, in collaboration with Region IV of the Higher Education Service Institution (LLDIKTI), launched the Waste Management Program as a concrete effort to address this issue. The program, involving 99 private universities in Bandung, aims to make a significant contribution to waste management by prioritizing collaboration between academics, government, and the community.

    As part of this initiative, the Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM) Bandung participated in this major mission. This program is a form of UNIKOM’s dedication to the community, in accordance with the Tri Dharma of Higher Education, which includes teaching, research, and community service. The program ran for a full month, starting in late 2024. 

    UNIKOM Bandung was given the responsibility to handle waste in an area located on Jalan Ir. H. Djuanda, specifically in RT 05 RW 09, Dago Village, Coblong District, Bandung City. This village has a fairly dense population, divided into 13 neighborhood groups, making it an area that presents significant challenges in waste management.

    Field Supervisor Lecturer, Assoc Prof. Dr. Hidayat S.Kom., M.T when interviewed said “I feel proud to be able to accompany UNIKOM students in the waste sorting socialization activity in Dago Village, Bandung City. This activity held by the Region IV of Higher Education Service Institution is a real proof of the students’ contribution in educating the community to support better and more sustainable waste management.” He said

    Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hidayat further stated, “The residents’ active participation in this activity demonstrates their concern for environmental cleanliness. I hope this program can continue and inspire students and the community to work together to create Bandung as a clean and environmentally friendly city.” He concluded. 

    UNIKOM Student Affairs Director Andreas Darmayadi, S.IP., M.Sc., Ph.D. when asked for information said “Alhamdulillah, the Bandung City Waste Management Group from UNIKOM was able to complete all the tasks and mandates from LLDIKTI Region IV. I really appreciate the performance of all Team Members and PIC Lecturers who consistently and enthusiastically help with waste management in neighborhood groups (RT/RW) around the Unikom Campus. We know that Bandung City is currently experiencing a waste emergency situation, hopefully with the contribution of the UNIKOM Waste Management Team, it can help raise public awareness to sort and manage waste properly and wisely.” he said

    The solutions and assistance provided by Unikom include: 1. Community training and education, ensuring all activities run according to plan and acting as a communicator between students and the Environmental Management Team (DPL). 2. Improved sorting facilities, divided into two categories: organic waste processed into compost, inorganic waste sorted and sold to recycling collectors, and residual waste made into crafts. 3. Awareness Campaign, with 80% of the public’s awareness of the importance of waste sorting significantly increasing. 4. Collaboration with Related Parties.

    This program is expected to encourage all elements of society to work together to create a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable environment. Through this collaboration, UNIKOM and other universities in Bandung are committed to providing real solutions to the increasingly pressing waste problem. (Directorate of Hms & Pro)
