Rumah Sehat Percontohan sebagai Edukasi Kesehatan Lingkungan di Desa Kenteng

Abstract

A healthy house is a dwelling that supports the well-being of its occupants through aspects such as cleanliness, lighting, ventilation, sanitation, and the availability of clean water, as stated in the Decree of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia No.829/Menkes/SK/VII/1999. Field observations conducted by the KKN MIT 20 UIN Walisongo team in Kenteng Village revealed that many houses did not meet the healthy house indicators, including dust accumulation, asbestos roofing, non-waterproof floors, unhygienic food storage, limited natural lighting and ventilation, inadequate sanitation, and limited access to clean water. To address these issues, the team implemented a healthy house pilot program aimed at providing a practical example and raising community awareness. The method used was a participatory approach, involving the selected homeowner (Mr. Muhsinin) and the local community in all stages, from observation, cleaning, and room arrangement to the creation and installation of an educational signboard containing eight simplified healthy house indicators. The results showed improved cleanliness, hygiene, and house organization, along with the presence of an easy-to-understand educational medium for the villagers. In conclusion, the healthy house pilot program successfully served as a practical learning tool, raised awareness of the importance of a healthy environment, and has the potential to be replicated to support public health in Kenteng Village sustainably.
