Enhancing Environmental Management Through Improved Community Participation in Solok Regency

Abstract

 This study aimed to assess the level of community participation in environmental management in Solok Regency, Arosuka. Using a quantitative, descriptive approach with a survey research type, the study found that community participation has a significant impact on the development of green cities. The results also showed that during implementation and evaluation stages, citizen participation is high, but the government provides little assistance, such as financial support for purchasing seeds and tools. This suggests that the success of environmental management in the area is largely due to the willingness and enthusiasm of the residents. The study concluded that improving community participation in environmental management could be an effective way to address the problem of limited green open space in the region, which has been caused by land conversion and poor environmental management.
