Optimizing the Culture of Mutual Cooperation in Solving Environmental Problems in Muara Betung Village, Ulu Musi District, Empat Lawang Regency
Abstract
The spirit of mutual cooperation once the lifeblood of neighborly relationsis fading and often dismissed as a mere formality. A mindset focused on individual interests leads residents to prioritize only the cleanliness of their own yards. Consequently, accumulated waste and clogged drains have become commonplace sights, triggering floods and the spread of diseases. In Muara Betung Village, Ulu Musi Sub-district, Empat Lawang Regency, efforts to revitalize this culture of mutual cooperation employ a structured, adaptive community management approach that engages both village officials and local residents. By uniting social capital specifically resident concern with modern management systems to address environmental issues, reliance on the government's limited capacity can be reduced while ensuring a clean and healthy living environment.
