REVITALIZATION OF PUBLIC FACILITIES AS AN EFFORT TO IMPROVE ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY AND COMMUNITY COMFORT

Abstract

Community service program through Kuliah Kerja Nyata (KKN) plays a vital role in implementing students’ knowledge for society. One of the implementations is the revitalization of public facilities (fasum) that have been damaged and degraded. The 2025 KKN Team 10 of Universitas Riau Kepulauan conducted a program in Tanjung Buntung Village, Bengkong District, Batam City, focusing on drainage repair, public facility doors improvement, and repainting. The method was carried out through community service, coordination with local leaders, and community involvement. The results showed that drainage was functional again, doors could be used, and facilities appeared cleaner and more comfortable. This activity not only improved environmental quality but also increased public awareness to maintain sustainability of public facilities.
