YOUTH EMPOWERMENT ON SUSTAINABLE CITY DEVELOPMENT IN CREATING SDG'S 11TH GOAL THROUGH ALLEVIATING SLUM AREAS

Pemberdayaan Pemuda dalam Pembangunan Kota Berkelanjutan dalam Penciptaan SDG’s Poin Ke 11 melalui Pengentasan Kawasan Kumuh

Abstract

The target audience is directed towards the youths of East Prabumulih, located in East Prabumulih, sub-district Gunung Ibul Village, South Sumatra. These youths were chosen because of the drastic changes to their area that was previously known as the rubber plantation area, but now stands as the largest hospital in South Sumatra. The drastic change to become a hospital can give an impact in expanding the residential area. Therefore, it is necessary to provide understanding and knowledge related to slum alleviation to the society so that SDG's 11 goals can be achieved. The service method uses socialization, Pre-Test, FGD and Post-Test. The results show that 70% of Post-Test from East Prabumulih Youths understands the importance of slum alleviation and 30% of youths still do not understand the importance of slum alleviation, thus the Service Team will take a more effective approach, namely by going directly to the field together and mapping which areas are categorized as slums and providing input on what can be done by East Prabumulih Youths to alleviate slums in the surrounding environment.
