Abstract

Management of household organic waste is very important, especially in urban areas, because improper disposal causes the environment to become unhealthy. This research aims to determine the adoption and application of bio pore technology for sustainable organic waste management in Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta. The method used is descriptive quantitative using survey techniques, participatory action research (PAR), and focus group discussions (FGD) to determine public perceptions and the effectiveness of technology. The analysis was carried out descriptively using indicators of relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability, and observability of biopori technology. The research results using the Wilcoxon-Rank test analysis showed a significant difference in Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) scores before and after training. The public assesses waste processing using bio-Pori technology based on relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability, and observability very good. Biopori technology is compatible with previous technologies, easy to learn, accepted, applied, and successfully tested. The application of Biopori technology improves soil quality , reduces organic waste, and provides benefits to society both from an economic and technical perspective. The research results have implications for the acceptance and feasibility of bio-Pori technology as a sustainable solution for managing household organic waste of household
