UNPRI and ISTP Partner with Silalas Residents: Household Waste Management Innovation in West Medan

A Tangible Form of Community Service in Creating a Clean, Healthy, and Sustainable Urban Environment.

On Wednesday (5/11/2025), the Architecture and Civil Engineering Study Programs of Universitas Prima Indonesia (UNPRI), in collaboration with ISTP, conducted a Community Service (PkM) activity in Kampung Silalas, West Medan. Titled "Innovative Household Waste Management towards Healthy and Sustainable Settlements," the program involved academics, local government, and residents in addressing urban environmental issues.

Expert speakers, including Dr. Ir. Nyimas Yanqoritha, M.Sc. and Meyga Fitri Handayani Nst, S.T., M.T. from UNPRI, alongside Ir. Indra Kesuma Hadi, M.T. from ISTP, provided practical guidance on community-based sanitation and simple architectural design innovations. This initiative reinforces UNPRI's dedication to SDGs 6 and SDGs 11, aiming to empower the community to manage waste independently for a healthier living environment.

"This is a clear manifestation of universities being present beyond the lecture halls. We hope this marks the beginning of a sustainable synergy for healthier and better-organized settlements in West Medan," said the Acting District Head, Maswan Harahap, S.T.
