The increasing frequency of floods in urban and coastal areas, such as Semarang, is not only caused by natural factors but also by weak environmental management, particularly in the aspect of household waste management. This study aims to measure the effectiveness of legal and environmental health education in enhancing public awareness of waste management as part of preventive efforts against flood risks. It employs a descriptive approach using qualitative-quantitative methods through community service activities in Ngaliyan Village, Semarang City. The instruments used include observation, interviews, and pretest–posttest questionnaires administered to 50 respondents. The results of the study show an increase in the level of public knowledge from 70% to 80% after receiving education on the 3R principles (reduce, reuse, recycle), legal norms in Law No. 18 of 2008 concerning Waste Management, and legal consequences as stipulated in Articles 98 and 99 of Law No. 32 of 2009 on Environmental Protection and Management (UUPPLH). Legal education has proven effective in promoting awareness that waste management is a collective legal obligation, not merely a household habit. However, behavioral change still faces structural obstacles such as limited facilities and weak administrative law enforcement. This study recommends the integration of education, strengthening of local institutions, provision of infrastructure, and spatial planning policies as part of flood risk mitigation and climate change adaptation.
