PENGUATAN KESADARAN POLITIK LINGKUNGAN MASYARAKAT MELALUI PENDEKATAN PARTICIPATORY ACTION RESEARCH DI DESA MANDALAWANGI KABUPATEN PANDEGLANG
Sari
Environmental problems are not only related to the limitations of infrastructure and facilities but also to the low level of public awareness concerning their rights, obligations, and political roles in environmental management. Communities are frequently positioned as policy objects, while their participation in planning, implementation, and supervision remains limited. This community service program aimed to strengthen environmental political awareness among the people of Mandalawangi Village, Pandeglang Regency, through an educational, participatory, and collaborative approach. The program employed Participatory Action Research (PAR), positioning the community as the main subject in problem identification, planning, action implementation, evaluation, and reflection. Activities included initial observation, coordination with village authorities, environmental political education, Focus Group Discussion (FGD), distribution of educational materials, and community-based environmental actions. The results indicated increased public understanding of rights and responsibilities in environmental management, stronger community participation in environmental activities, and improved communication between academics, village government, and local residents. The program also encouraged a paradigm shift from viewing the community as policy recipients toward recognizing them as active actors in sustainable environmental governance. Therefore, strengthening environmental political awareness through PAR can serve as an effective strategy to develop participatory, inclusive, and locally grounded environmental governance.
Keywords: environmental political awareness, community participation, Participatory Action Research, collaborative governance, environmental management.
