The COIL Project focuses on the theme “Explore Applicable Solutions for Waste Management Systems in Specific Areas in Indonesia and The Netherlands.”
In this project, students from the Environmental Engineering program at UNAIR used RW 3 Jambangan Surabaya as a study area to survey the level of community participation in household solid waste management. The activity involved 15 students from the Environmental Engineering Program, FST UNAIR, and 8 students from THUAS, Netherlands. The supervising lecturers for this project were Dr. Maikel Maloncy and Dr. Cindy Mielatz from THUAS, Netherlands, and Dr. Rizkiy Amaliyah Barakwan and Dr. Nurina Fitriani from Universitas Airlangga. Activities and tasks during the COIL Project were carried out individually and in groups.
