Strengthening Source-Based Organic Waste Management Through Teba Modern in Serangan Village, Bali: Community Empowerment for Sustainable Consumption and Production

Abstract

Organic waste management remains a strategic issue for tourism-based communities because household activities, traditional markets, ceremonial practices, and visitor mobility continuously generate biodegradable residues. When organic waste is mixed with inorganic waste and transported directly to final disposal sites, the community loses an opportunity to recover nutrients, reduce transportation burdens, and strengthen environmental awareness. This article discusses the role of Teba Modern as a source-based organic waste management practice in Serangan Village, Bali, within the Sustainable International Community Service (SICS) 2 Bali 2026 program. The activity used a descriptive and participatory community service approach through program orientation, field observation, visual documentation, informal discussion, and qualitative reflection. The findings show that Teba Modern can function as a local ecological infrastructure that processes organic waste closer to its source, supports composting, and provides an educational medium for community members and university participants. The field observation also indicates that the effectiveness of Teba Modern depends on consistent waste separation, community participation, operational discipline, and simple monitoring of organic waste volume and compost output. The program contributes to Sustainable Development Goal 12 by promoting responsible consumption and production, while also supporting sustainable tourism, community empowerment, and academic-community collaboration. This article recommends strengthening source-separation education, preparing operational guidelines, developing simple waste data recording, and expanding partnerships among village institutions, universities, local government, and tourism actors.
