Perumahan Tamarunang dalam memelihara drainase lingkungan

Abstract

Tamarunang is located approximately 10 km from
Makassar, and about 4 km from the border of Makassar City
and Gowa Regency. As a developing area, Tamarunang
Village is a reference for developers to build urban
communities houses. The urbanization makes the growth of
housing development more rapid. This has an impact on
rainwater catchment areas turned into residential housing areas.
The problems faced in this community partnership programs
are: 1) the living area of partner 1 and 2 have poor drainage
and reduced rain water catchment areas, 2) the impact of poor
drainage causes water to overflow and pool on the public roads
and yard, 3) the garbage and sedimentation that accumulates in
the drainage causes clogged water flow, 4) due to the
development of housing construction, causing the flow
direction and pattern of environmental drainage flow in the
partner area to be unclear. The method used in this community
partnership program is mentoring method and participatory
rural approach (PRA) method. The mentoring method was
carried out to change the community's paradigm of thinking in
handling environmental drainage, increasing the community's
understanding of environmental cleanliness and structuring,
and facilitating partners in making infiltration drainage, flow
direction maps, and environmental arrangement. The PRA
method is carried out to arouse the partner's sense of belonging
to the product to be developed, and the partner's sense of
responsibility towards the products and environment that
surrounds them. The main method adopted in this Community
Partnership Program (PKM) activity is the time of presentation
of counseling material, the method used is lecture, discussion,
question and answer, and simulation, while during the practice
of making infiltration drainage, the method used is
demonstration. The results are the installation of biopori pipes,
overflowing water and pooling on the road and the people's
home page has been reduced, and rainwater does not cause
standing water on the road and downstream of the housing
area. And the construction of the drainage channel is intended
so that the drainage channel is not blocked again which can
cause water to overflow into the highway.
