Abstract

The results showed that the environmental hygiene program activities went well, because the dirty environment became clean, healthy and in accordance with the planned schedule and it was hoped that the community could participate more actively in maintaining environmental cleanliness to jointly clean Panglungan Hamlet to make it look cleaner
