The Environmental Science Study Program, Graduate School, conducted a Field Study (Kuliah Kerja Lapangan/KKL) in Jatikontal Village and Gedangan Village, Purwodadi Sub-district, Purworejo Regency, from 15–19 July 2024. Purworejo Regency has significant potential for coastal area development, with a coastline stretching 21 kilometers. However, one of the most pressing environmental issues along the coastal area is waste pollution originating from multiple sources. Therefore, the Environmental Science Program engages students through this Field Study to contribute to addressing these challenges. The activity was supervised by Dr. Bachtiar Wahyu Mutaqin, S.Kel., M.Sc., Prof. Dr. Ig. L. Setyawan Purnama, M.Si., and Dr. Rika Harini, S.Si., MP. read more
