Abstract

Limited access to reliable electricity in rural areas continues to pose safety, social, and ergonomic challenges for communities. This study presents a community-based intervention in Labak Suren Village, Bali, focusing on the implementation of solar-powered LED street lighting and its ergonomic impact on night-time mobility and safety. The objectives were to reduce psychological anxiety, improve pedestrian comfort, and enhance social and economic participation after dark. The project installed four solar-powered LED units in key village locations and employed both quantitative and qualitative methods, including pre- and post-intervention surveys, structured interviews, and ergonomic assessments. Key indicators such as perceived anxiety, traffic comfort, and lighting effectiveness were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired t-tests. Results showed a 75% increase in illumination (lux levels), a 59% reduction in anxiety prevalence, and a 114% increase in reported comfort. Additionally, night-time event participation rose by 94%, and evening economic activity increased by 34%. The study demonstrates that integrating ergonomic analysis with renewable energy technology significantly improves rural quality of life, safety, and infrastructure usability. It offers a replicable model for sustainable development in underserved areas. These findings can inform policy-making and support broader strategies for equitable energy access and community resilience.
