Abstract
This study explores the revitalization of the Kebun Botol Community Reading Park (TBM) in Tlogomas, Malang, aiming to enhance community participation, literacy, foreign language proficiency, and environmental awareness. The objective was to transform TBM into a multifunctional space integrating literacy programs, foreign language education, and environmental conservation. The research applied a Community-Based Participatory Research approach, involving active community engagement throughout the revitalization process. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, surveys, and observational field notes. Results showed a significant increase in community participation, particularly in foreign language classes and environmental workshops. Participants reported improved literacy, with 90% indicating enhanced proficiency in English and Arabic. The integration of environmental conservation activities, such as sustainable farming and recycling workshops, fostered greater ecological awareness. The revitalization process also led to increased satisfaction, with 90% of participants expressing high satisfaction with the new programs and facilities. This study demonstrates the success of integrating foreign language development and environmental education in community spaces. It highlights the importance of participatory approaches in ensuring the sustainability of such initiatives. The findings suggest that TBM Kebun Botol serves as a model for community-driven educational projects, offering valuable lessons for other similar initiatives. Further research should examine the long-term impact and scalability of these revitalization efforts in different contexts.
