Abstract

Banyuasin Regency, one of the regencies in South Sumatera Province, has abundant natural resources such as coconut plantations that produce wastes. Mostly they are located in Rimau, Muara Telang, Tanjung Lago and Banyuasin II sub-districts. Sri Tiga Village is one of 10 villages in the Sumber Marga Telang which is a division of the Muara Telang sub-district. Currently, the potentially produced wastes are still unmanaged properly. Besides, there are also raising problems in this area, some of the coconut plantations are located in protected forest areas, there are great pressures for occupation from the community around the protected areas for cultivating crops to meet their needs, and this made deforestation and forest degradation unavoidable. One of the solutions can be offered for solving those problems is to increase the income of the forest communities, especially by utilizing the available natural resource in the area such as coconut water waste for producing nata de coco. The abundance of coconut and copra products has not been utilized, with technical assistance in the production of nata de coco, it can increase the income of the people around the forest, and therefore the pressure on the forest occupation can be decreased. Besides the waste, clean water also a problem in this area, in this program the community was also introduced a simple and reliable technology for swamp water filtration.
