Abstract

Community empowerment management through the Bank Ramli Sidodadi Program in
Sidodadi Village, Samarinda City, is a strategic effort that integrates economic and
environmental conservation aspects. This program encourages active community involvement
in waste management through the provision of facilities, education, and skills training. This
study shows that the empowerment process is carried out systematically and participatively,
and is influenced by several supporting and hindering factors that affect the sustainability of
the program. The qualitative descriptive method used in this study reveals that the success of
the program depends on collaboration between managers, the community, and strong
institutional support. The results of the research on the community empowerment process in
the Bank Ramli Sidodadi Program are as follows: (1) Problem Identification, by identifying
the needs of the community in Sidodadi Village through observation and discussion. (2)
