Implementasi Sustainable Edible Landscaping Untuk Mitigasi Urban Heat Island. Pilot Project: Pemukiman Kebun Bibit, Kelurahan Hajimena, Lampung Selatan

Abstract

Urban Heat Island (UHI) is a phenomenon that causes the surface temperature of a
city to be higher than the surrounding area due to changes in land cover. To overcome the
negative impacts of UHI, especially in the Kebun Bibit Settlement, Hajimena Village, South
Lampung, a Community Service program was implemented with the implementation of
Sustainable Edible Landscape (SEL). This program consists of two main parts: education about
UHI and SEL and implementation of SEL. Education is carried out using interactive media to
increase public understanding of UHI and the benefits of SEL in mitigating it. Furthermore, the
implementation of SEL involves land preparation, preparation of planting media, sowing seeds,
and planting vegetables with the aim of mitigating UHI and increasing food security and the local
economy. Evaluation was carried out with pre-tests and post-tests, showing a significant increase
in public understanding of UHI and SEL. This activity is expected to improve environmental
conditions and improve community welfare.
