Abstract

Community involvement in environmental protection is one of the implementations of sustainable development. This study describes the effectiveness of training models to increase the knowledge and attitude of participants in controlling riverbank erosion. The study method is an experimental design with a pre-test and post-test evaluation approach that involved 60 subjects. The research subjects are people who have been cultivating on land along the river for more than five years. The results of this study describe the stages and activities of instructors and research subjects in training action. The results also indicated that there was an increasing knowledge, attitudes, and skills in controlling erosion on river banks in the community. Therefore, it can be concluded that the training model effectively involves the community in riverbank protection programs.
