EFFORTS TO IMPROVE COMMUNITY ECONOMY THROUGH UTILIZATION OF YOUNG COCONUT WASTE INTO COCOFIBER AND COCOPEAT ON THE BEACH SUNUR PARIAMAN INDONESIA

This paper aims to describe the utilization of young coconut waste into coco fiber and coco peat on Sunur Beach Pariaman, Indonesia. This training activity is based on the lack of optimal waste management at Sunur Pariaman Beach. Even though it has good enough facilities, the awareness of keeping a clean environment has not been implemented well by the community. This causes visitors to feel uncomfortable with the trash everywhere and smashes the beautiful view of Sunur Beach. Young coconut waste is the most common waste found. The lack of trash cans and information boards that can educate people about clean living is one of the problems that must be resolved. Likewise, there is a lack of awareness of society's charms. The problems experienced by the community will surely hinder the process of developing Sunur Beach as a marine tourism location that is of interest to tourists. Based on this problem, training activities were carried out on the use of young coconut waste to make it economically valuable by turning it into coco fiber and coco peat. This activity seeks to contribute to waste management, especially young coconut waste, and educate the public about clean living by creating information boards and providing rubbish bins by utilizing the potential of local communities by providing training on processing young coconut waste into coco fiber and coco peat, education on clean living, and making information boards on cleaning living education, and throwing rubbish in its place. An active and participatory learning and KAP (Knowledge, Attitude, Practice) model approach is used to implement this program. The impact of this training is increasing public awareness of clean living, being able to utilize young coconut waste into cocopeat and coco fiber, improving families' economy, and supporting the realization of Sapta Pesona.


INTRODUCTION Situation Analysis
West Sumatra has 19 cities/districts spread across coastal and mountainous locations.Pariaman City is a city located on the coast of West Sumatra.The area of Pariaman City is 73.36 square kilometers, consisting of 12 square kilometers of sea and 12 kilometers Efforts to Improve Community Economy through Utilization of Young Coconut Waste into Cocofiber… of coastline.Because the area is close to the sea, the people of Pariaman city depend heavily on marine products.
Pariaman City is known for its unique culture and traditions (Natsir et al., 2021).As one of the tourist destinations located on the west coast of the island of Sumatra, it has potential, especially in the tourism and marine sectors, so it is famous as a marine tourism city.It has a coastline of 12.7 km2.As one of the potential tourist destinations in West Sumatra, the Pariaman City Government has launched the development of the tourism sector and preserving environmental culture as one of the leading sectors of sustainable development.
Several natural tourist attractions have developed in Pariaman City.These include Gandoriah Beach, Angso Duo Wisata Island, Tangah Island, Kasiak Island, Cermin Beach, Kata Beach, Belibis Beach, Muaro Mangguang, Turtle Conservation UPTD.However, of the several natural attractions that have developed, Sunur Beach has not received maximum attention from the public.
Sunur Beach is located in South Pariaman.It is not well known by domestic and foreign people even though this beach is no less beautiful than Gandoriah Beach, Cermin Beach, and Kata Beach.Even Pasir Sunur Village is famous for its martial arts called Silek Sunua.Sunua is also renowned for its culinary curry Kapalo Lauk.Besides, it is also known as a destination for surfing spots because it has big waves.
The location of Pasir Sunur Village is very strategic because it is the road to Minangkabau International Airport and Pariaman City.This condition makes Sunur Beach Village frequently visited, especially with the existence of food stalls with their characteristic fish head curry that is a unique attraction for visitors to enjoy.Based on this, Sunur Beach Village began to develop beach tourism with a pattern that became Pariaman City government policy, namely the development of a tourism sector that optimizes natural, culinary, and cultural potential to support the regional tourism sector (Putra, 2019;Sephia & Jumiati, 2022).
The government's attention to the development of Sunur beach tourism is quite prominent.This is proven by the appointment of Sunur Beach Village as the recipient of assistance for marine tourism facilities/infrastructure in the form of 1 (one) information hut unit, one information board unit, five culinary kiosk units, and one tourist boat unit.This assistance will stimulate the community to develop independent marine tourism to improve welfare (Rahma et al., 2021;Yuliviona et al., 2020).
However, in its development, tourism in Sunur Beach Village is not directly proportional to the ability to manage the comfort of visitors who are coming there.Especially regarding cleanliness, where rubbish is scattered around and makes it uncomfortable for the eyes to see.Apart from plastic waste, young coconut waste is the most dominant waste.This waste cannot be used for something that produces a rupiah and improves the community's welfare.This was also complained by Mr. Andi Firdaus Aziz, the head of Pasir Sunur Village, that there was a lot of young coconut waste and it was not managed well.Moreover, the garbage trucks don't come in every daylight, so the garbage piles up and is scattered around (Interview April 6, 2023).
Besides, the lack of rubbish bins, information boards, and calls for throwing rubbish in the right place has not been managed well.So even though visitors are aware of throwing away trash, there are no rubbish bins.So they will leave rubbish where they sit.Therefore, it is necessary to provide a solution to this case, so that marine tourism becomes even better and the final result can improve the welfare of the community (Yulastra et al., 2021).

Partner Problems
Based on observations and information from various parties, it is known that several problems have arisen in the development of marine tourism in Pasir Sunur Village.First, waste has not been managed well.This causes visitors to feel uncomfortable with the rubbish spread about and ruins the beautiful view of Sunur Beach.Second, there is a lack of rubbish bins and information boards that educate tourists to live cleanly and throw rubbish in the right place.Third, there is still a lack of awareness of Sapta Pesona among the public.Such as clean, beautiful, safe, and friendly living behavior.Building good communication with all tourists both local and foreign (Agustira & Yuliana, 2022;Putri, 2018).
The problems experienced by the people of Pasir Sunur Village will hinder the process of development of Sunur Beach as a marine tourism location that is of interest to tourists.Based on the problems faced, the service team will carry out service activities to contribute to waste management, especially young coconut waste, and educate the community about clean living by making information boards and providing rubbish bins by utilizing the potential of local communities.l(Fitriyah & Ciptandi, 2018;Hermita, 2019;Napitupulu et al., 2023).

Solutions and Outcome Targets
Two solutions will be enforced to solve the problems in the Sunur Pariaman beach.The first is training the community to manage young coconut waste into coco fiber and cocopeat (Saputra, 2017).This training will also teach participants to use appropriate technology.People can use coconut fiber to make various crafts that can be used as souvenirs when visitors come to Sunur Beach.Meanwhile, cocopeat can be used as a planting medium to make beaches more beautiful.The results from processed cocofiber and cocopeat can make money by managing the work of the community (Feriady et al., 2020;Kuntardina et al., 2022).The second is providing clean living education with training that utilizes the potential of local communities.In short, motivate people to live clean.
The expected change target for partners in this service is the emergence of clean, comfortable, and educational beach tourism.So it will bring many tourist visits from both within the country and abroad.Apart from that, it will also create opportunities for local communities to improve their economy (Awaludin, 2011).
