Kendari Learns about Mobile Composting and Food Security of North Gandaria Residents

"We are trying to solve environmental problems by involving residents. After security has been strengthened, we are developing waste management, food security and increasing residents' abilities. In principle, RT must be a space for community collaboration," explained Imam.

Citizen Collaboration is the Basis for RT Management

Apart from waste management and food security, the RT 11 Smart concept includes smart gates, CCTV surveillance cameras, and emergency buttons or panic buttons to support environmental security.

Increasing community capacity is carried out through the RT English program. The Kendari City Government delegation also saw the implementation of the program during a series of visits.

Siska assesses that the integrated approach provides lessons for Kendari in dealing with problems at the environmental level. The practices learned will become a reference to be adapted to regional needs and characteristics.

Through this mock study, the Kendari City Government hopes that RT management can develop as a forum for citizen cooperation to create a safe, clean, productive and independent environment, while simultaneously carrying out government administrative functions.
