AbstractOne cause for the decreased environmental quality is household consumption behavior. Some contaminants contributing to a highest pollution level are domestic waste, solid waste, and industrial waste. Solid waste pollution causes the death of fishes, a decrease in water quality, and disease transmission. Community approach could be used to solve the waste problem, especially at the household level. This was a quantitative method to analyze the effect of intervention and waste management training on changes in knowledge and practice of household waste management. This type of this study was a quasi-experimental study using one group of pre- and post-test design. The study was conducted in 2018 in Banyumas District, with a sample of 33 respondents. The results showed that there was a significant increase in scores of knowledge and practice of the household waste management after the intervention provided (p-value = 0.001; p-value <= 0.05). To sum up, providing the intervention is effective to improve knowledge and practice in the household waste management.
