P2MD is a community empowerment activity carried out by students through student organizations, for example, the Student Activity Unit (UKM), the Study Program Student Association (HIMAPRODI), the Student Executive Board, or other forms of intra-campus student organizations. P2MD has goals to foster concern and invite student contributions in community development and empowerment to the community in the village (help people to help themselves) as well as learn things from the community with the community. Through P2MD, rural communities to be able to find and develop their potential to be more developed and useful so that they can realize a just and prosperous Indonesia evenly on the archipelago.
The P2MD 2022 activity are organized by the Directorate General of Vocational Education of the Ministry of Education and Culture and held by hundreds of ORMAWA Vocational Schools throughout Indonesia with the number of proposals entering more than 400 proposals. UKM Research and Business submitted the title “Integrated Waste Management and Economic Development di Kelurahan Jabungan Dalam Rangka Peningkatan Taraf Ekonomi Warga”.The problem of waste management in Indonesia, in general, is not proper as the facility. Based on data from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), Indonesia produced 67.8 tons of waste in 2020 and continues to grow 37.3% per year of waste comes from household activities. this problem is also confirmed to occur specifically in several villages in major cities, one of which is Jabungan Village. In terms of landscape, Jabungan Village RW 6 is separate from other RWs in the village, thus, access from this RW is quite difficult to be accessed by medium-sized garbage transport trucks. In the previous year, a community empowerment program based on maggot cultivation and the establishment of a Griya Sampah Jabungan to manage organic waste in Jabungan Village had not involved technology in it. In addition, the waste collection system in the village is said to be not optimal because there is no good organic waste collection system and household waste, resulting in organic waste still being mixed with inorganic waste. Thus, seeing the existing problems and opportunities, the P2MD UKM Rn’B team of Diponegoro University initiated waste management and economic integrated system-based waste empowerment and management program to provide integrated solutions to maggot cultivation management with the application of control system-based monitoring technology, digital-based waste collection system, and drop shipper marketing system to empower and improve the economic level of the people of Jabungan Village and provide education as well as organic waste management solutions.
So far, the P2MD Program of the SME Research and Business team, which has been running from July to October, has been running by 70% on socialization, regeneration, revitalization, implementation, and planning programs for the use of technology. Socialization, regeneration, and revitalization activities begin with socialization regarding the proposed program. Socialization, regeneration, and revitalization aim to provide knowledge and information regarding organic waste management programs using maggots and to obtain cadres from the program. Furthermore, revitalization is the internal and infrastructure improvement program of the waste bank that has been established in the previous program.
Implementation and planning activities using technology are carried out by students to improve the quality and quantity of maggot cultivation so that it can improve the economic level of residents. The maggot cultivation program based on the E-Magrocery System uses a monitoring system that is integrated with a system that can be connected to the internet of things system. This maggot cultivation will later use an IoT system using an actuator system in the form of pneumatic hydraulic, sensors using temperature and humidity sensors, using a barcode system to check the age of the maggot and store data in the database, and finally using the MCU in the form of an Arduino Uno R3 as a microcontroller of the tool. Later this system will be integrated with the mosbile web interface system so that it can be monitored and interpreted on the actuator system. Thus some things need to be considered, namely How residents can maintenance the tool, how the tool can be operated easily, and can be repaired by themselves. Therefore, the output at the end of this program is a module and a product manual.The activities carried out so far directly involve the community in it, and this is a humanities activity that is rarely obtained in lecture life by applying hard skills in community life. This activity is expected to provide life learning and socialization to students and provide benefits for the community so that later they can be more independent and have programs that can be sustainable in the future.
