The Existence of Real UWP Lecturers, Building the Future of Concrete Villages Through Modern Hydroponic Education
Wijaya Putra
University (UWP) Surabaya lecturers are increasingly strengthening their role
in society. Recently, the UWP Lecturer Team carried out a Community Service
Program (PKM) in Beton Village, Menganti District, Gresik Regency, with an
ambitious mission, namely helping the village achieve its maximum potential
through developing educational tourism.
This program
has a real impact on local communities, especially in the management of the
education-based tourism sector. Beton Village has a big vision to become one of
the leading educational tourism destinations in Gresik.
By
collaborating with UWP, they began building an educational fishing pond
combined with a hydroponic garden, creating a unique tourist attraction. This
program not only offers recreation, but also education about modern,
sustainable agriculture to visitors.
To realize
this vision, the UWP PKM Team consisting of Dr. Sri Juni Woro Astuti, M.Com.,
Dr. Heri Susanto, and Dr. Supriyanto, provided basic tourism management
training to members of the Beton Village Tourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis).
This training
includes institutional strengthening, increasing management capabilities, and
preparing business plans.
"We want
to help the Beton Village Pokdarwis to be better prepared and professional in
managing the tourism potential of this village," said Dr. Sri Juni Woro
Astuti, Chair of the UWP Surabaya PKM Team.
