The village is the smallest unit of civilization that we often call our hometown. The village is the place we know best. Indonesian village communities have traditional paternalistic figures as role models. These community figures lead the movement towards village life, even though only in routine and traditional matters. In the case of the Urban and Regional Planning Study Program Student Association (HM PWK), Sebelas Maret University (UNS) has initiatives a community service program by involving kampung communities to build a green village program in 2021 in Rukun Tetangga (RT) 03 and Rukun Warga (RW) 29 Kelurahan Mojosongo. It has been successfully changing people's awareness of their living environment. By involving people in a Focus Group Discussion (FGD), the association successfully builds people's awareness that they have assets and potential energy that can be developed. An agreement and commitment has been reached among the communities and the association after the Department of Agriculture, Food Security and Fisheries of the City of Surakarta and the Department of the Environment (DLH) of the City of Surakarta gave support. This commitment happened after a community member voluntarily lent his neglected land for five years. It could be happened because of the power of a strong figure. This student effort is relevant to today's global conditions, namely climate change. This study aims to identify and understand the process of public awareness that can foster a determination to work together to improve the quality and productivity of the environment. The community development approach is carried out to provide knowledge and skills for implementing the Green Village program. This process took about four months until a formal institution was formed into the issuance of the Guyub Makmur Women's Farmer Group (KWT). Data compilation was collected with the active involvement of researchers and students. Data analysis was carried out using the theory of community development. This bottom-up program can be a cell of a community movement that could be replicated to other kampungs that to be coordinated by the agencies into short and medium-term programs through the municipal agencies program at municipal jurisdiction.
