Abstract
Given resolving the smell of chicken livestock in the middle of residential areas and utilizing a previous chicken
coop building, Taman Omah Aneka Satwa dan Seni (OASSE) Kayuhan was established by residents of
Sidowayah Village. Seizing the availability of wood waste in the Dukuh Kayuhan environment, the activity's
objectives are; 1) the utilization of wood waste to create innovative products; 2) development of educational
game designs using abasia wood waste. This qualitative research employed experimental methods used to
determine the feasibility of wood waste material to become a potential material for educational game design and
structural/construction, finishing, and aesthetic aspects. The response of the Dukuh Kayuhan residents was
excellent, as an effort to increase the quantity and quality of creative economic activities for youth organizations
and homemakers. The utilization of wood waste as an educational game is expected to attract visitors to Oasse
Park, Sidowayah Tourism Village.
Keywords: educational games, Sidowayah, Oase park, wood waste
INTRODUCTION
The residents of Kayuhan Sub-village, Sidowayah Village, Polanharjo Subdistrict are
those residents with an excellent response to the Kotaku concept. As quoted from the
Sidowayah Village Development Proposal, awareness of the importance of living in a
beautiful, clean, organized, and healthy environment could only be achieved after reflecting
on slum cases in Kotaku cycle activity. Pioneered by Wawan Rohmad Widodo UPL from
LKM (Microfinance Institution) AMANAH [and the RPLP/Residential Environment
Planning document drafting team] as well as Sidowayah Village officials as the Head of
Development. Communities started to realize that the environment they lived in an
environment that appears to be a slum. Almost all roads have no drainage. When it rained,
roads changed their function to become water streams. Besides, a chicken coop was in the
middle of the residential area, which released a foul smell and flies and dust flying around,
causing skin irritation. (1)
Given resolving the smell of chicken livestock in the middle of residential areas and
utilizing a previous chicken coop building, each family member paid IDR 500 thousand to
reconstruct the building. As a result, the previously empty building has become a park called
Omah Aneka Satwa dan Seni (OASSE). In managing and developing tourism off the OASSE
[Animals and Arts] Park, residents do not rely on the government's financial assistance. A
total of 45 family heads in Dukuh Kayuhan, with their funds, contribute to developing
educational tourism for children. (1)
'… it began with the community's enthusiasm to participate in developing tourism
in Sidowayah Village. And then we agreed to make a regular contribution from each

To maintain sustainability, extend the lifetime, and preserve the results of infrastructure
development, especially the Oasse Park Kayuhan, the following efforts are arranged:
1. A new neighborhood association is formed to optimize the activities at the
neighborhood level.
2. In collaboration with family welfare in neighborhood association of DK.
Kayuhan to develop green open space in the form of flower/fruit garden or
horticulture in every yard, space, or side of the road.
3. In collaboration with Youth Organization in neighborhood association to
develop a MINI ZOO, Archery, Culinary and Painting Studio at Mbah Amad
Danuri's (deceased) house.
4. Establish cooperation with government agencies [central/provincial government
and universities], the private sector, and state-owned enterprises.
Lack of attractiveness of Oasse Park and the need for innovations to attract visitors,
thus referring to the above problems, the objectives of this research cover; [1] Identification
and classification of wood waste materials in Sidowayah Tourism Village, [2] Finding the
correct method in utilizing wood waste as a material to create innovative products, and [3]
Utilizing wood waste as an educational game to attract visitors to the Oase Park, Sidowayah
Tourism Village.
In this modern era, the development of technology and information is increasing. It also
happens in children's games. In the past, children's games are more challenging to find and
play for children growing up in big cities. Electronic technology dominates through
television, cellphones, and game consoles. The educational element is not necessarily
included in children's games that are currently circulating. It even possesses a negative
potential for child development. However, there are also games with positive brain growth
values, and it is not easy to find educational games for children today. (3)
Educative Game Tools (APE) currently on the market still use many ready-to-use
3
goods or games. On the other hand, the utilization of natural potentials or natural raw
materials has not been much prioritized. (4) In this globalization era, the demand for wood
increases synonymously with the increasing population, technology advancement, industry,
and science. For example, in the construction sector, wood remains essential in its use though
it competes with other materials. In many areas, industries using wood have much developed.
(5)
For children's development, play has a significant role. According to Hetherington and
Parke in Heru Kurniawan et al., there are three main functions of play; [1] Cognitive
Functions, [2] Social Functions, and [3] Emotional Functions. (6)
The utilization of waste wood needs to be improved. In rural communities, waste
wood is used more as firewood for cooking purposes. Waste wood has the opportunity as an
educational game product, with simple and precise technology that can create waste wood to
become an innovative product with more practical and economic value. (7)
Specifically, this research can contribute to Oase Park Management by [1]
Empowering wood waste into innovative products in Sidowayah Village [2] Developing
educational game designs made from waste wood [3] Increasing the quantity and quality of
creative economic activities for the management of Oasse Park.
RESEARCH METHODS
The research method was conducted through:
1. The experimental method used to determine the feasibility of wood waste material
becomes potential material for educational game design. Inventory types and
dimensions of existing wood waste [logs, boards, and wood powder/grajen]
2. In qualitative methods, the findings are not obtained through statistical procedures or
other forms of calculation. (8). In this case, finding the quality of wood waste and
processed products visually
The research site was conducted in Sidowayah Village, in Oasse Park Kayuhan. The
research was done for six months in 2020. Data sources were obtained from; [1] the existing
wood waste; [2] the exploration process to become a wooden material educational game
prototype [3] development of the educational game design for wooden materials at Oase Park
Kayuhan Sidowayah, and [4] informants consisting of product designers, economists, and the
wooden toy industry players.
Data collection techniques were carried out through [1] literature study on articles that
have been published in scientific journals related to Educational Games, Waste Utilization,
Design Development, and Finishing [2] Interviews were carried out separately or individually
or in the panel, which is interviewing several people at the same time. There are two forms of
interviews, which are structured and unstructured interviews called in-depth interviews. (9)
Interviews were conducted with the Management of Oase Educational Park, the processed
wood business owner in Sidowayah Village, the community where the wood is processed,
Sidowayah Village Officials, Product Designers, Educative Game Tool [APE] Craftsmen,
Children from the Oasse Educational Park. [3] Observations were used to extract data from
data sources in the form of existing wood game products [Cil-cil Craf, Tatanen Wood
Working]

Data analysis is to examine the educational game products made of wood, to find out
[1] materials, [2] structure/construction, [3] finishing, [4] aesthetics and to be able to evaluate
the data collected to produce a design or shape of educational games. The design would be
produced into working drawings and visualized in 3 dimensions through engineering
drawings, 3D modeling, and prototyping.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

This study's results begin with an inventory of wood waste, followed by an exploration
of educational game prototypes [including exploration of shapes, structures/construction,
finishing, and aesthetics], and developing educational game designs. The stages, among
others, are;
1. The Characteristics of Albasia Wood

Albasia (silk tree) wood is a typical type of wood from the tropical regions. In
Indonesia, this wood is very familiar and is widely available on Java Island. Albasia wood is
one type of tropical wood that has excellent commercial value in the commodity market.
Albasia has a relatively short growth period compared to other tropical trees. Albasia can be
harvested or cut down when it reaches five years. Nonetheless, at the age of 3 to 4 years,
many people can sell them thinning in gardens. The high demand for albasia trees is because
every wood processing factory that is established needs albasia wood.
In Java, the Albasia tree is known as sengon, while in Sunda, it is known as jeungjing
and séngghung for the name of the Sumba region, while in English, it is known as silk tree.
The characteristics of albasia wood, as quoted from page courtina. the id is: (10)
1. Lightwood
2. Termite resistant
3. High Resistance and Durability
4. Superior Wood Quality
5. Included in multifunctional wood
2. Wood processing factory in Sidowayah

One of the potentials found in Sidowayah Village is the Plywood Factory located in
Kayuhan Sub-village, Sidowayah Village, Polanharjo Subdistrict, Klaten Regency. The owner
is Mr. Taufik, who has started this factory in 2009, which in the last five months, has opened
a new factory located next to the old factory. There are approximately 25 employees, and
most of them are residents. One supervisor is responsible for personnel affairs.
This factory can produce more than 100 pieces of plywood daily, which are usually
marketed to Solo, Boyolali, Klaten, Sragen, and Semarang. Deliveries are made based on the
schedule, which is three times a week where each shop requires 70 pieces of plywood.
The raw material for processed [Albasia] wood comes from logs and wood residues
from wood processing factory in the Karangpandan area, Karanganyar. The wood material is
logged with a length of approximately 2 meters, with a diameter of 7-8 cm.

The log material was cut to obtain logs with a thickness of 2cm and a length of 50cm. The
pieces of wood used by the wood processing factory in Sidowayah become plywood.

3. Wood Waste Processing for Educational Games

3.1. Material exploration
Exploration carried out starts from the dimensions of waste wood, wooden planks with
a width of 5cm, thick of 1.5cm, and a length of 40cm. Dimensional limitation remains a
challenge in processing waste wood. One of the efforts that can be done is by assembling the
wood to obtain a larger size. This game is usually called puzzles. Developing children's
motor, visual, and spatial intelligence, and so on can be facilitated by puzzle games. (11)

Figure 9. A simple pattern of puzzle
The primary material used in this educational game is Albasia wood waste, which is
often found around Oasse Park. For construction purposes, a combination of other wood
materials is needed to obtain a more functional educational game design. Plywood and Dutch
teak wood, as well as Mahogany wood, are alternatives in material combinations.

2020)
3.2. Construction Exploration

The dimensions of the available Albasia wood waste are minimal, so there are not
many types of wood profiles applied to educational games' design/manufacture. On the other
hand, the very soft character of Albasia wood also gives its difficulties in exploring the types
of wood profiles.
The Modular system was chosen in the manufacture of this educational game product.
Efficient (easy to assemble and transport) and sustainable (can be used repeatedly) are the
main reasons for applying this system and its independent nature and can be built separately.
(12)
From the various experiments carried out, there are two types of wood
connections/profiles that can be applied to Albasia wood waste, namely;
1. Tongue and groove joints/profiles correspond to the character of Albasia wood and
its dimensions. The standard type of tongue and groove can be used on wood with
longitudinal directions, such as the abundant Albasia wood waste.

(Photo. Team, 2020)
2. Rabbet joints/profiles are a type of connection that is very simple, weak joint
strength because each is notched in half, so it is used for stems whose all surfaces
are blocked (e.g., wall beam/murplate).

3.3. Finishing Exploration

Referring to what was expressed by Jesica Sutanto et al., the children's creativity can
be explored through color characters. These colors include: (12)
- Primary colors (red, yellow, blue) express activity, dynamic, stimulate creativity,
increase curiosity, and being comfortable in the same room.
- Pastel colors (salmon, pink, pastel green) give a clean, light, soft, comfortable, and
soothing impression.
- Light colors (sun yellow, grass green, cloud blue, etc.) create a fresh and
comfortable atmosphere.
- Natural colors (terracotta, wood brown) give a warm impression, close to nature.
Finishing for interior design/product design purposes is a coating that protects and
beautifies the product. There are many finishing materials from NC, melamine, French polish,
wax, paint, and laminates in the market. (13)
The primary material for the educational game structure is made of Albasia wood
waste; the outer surface requires finishing. It looks beautiful and durable and covers some of
the wood's weaknesses in color, texture, and resistance to impact and weather. Transparent
and non-transparent finishing options were tried out in an educational game made from
Albasia wood waste.
3.3.1. Transparan

9
Alternatives for transparent finishes include France polish, Melamic, Nitro Cellulose
(NC), Polyurethane (PU), and Water-based water-based lacquer. Water-based lacquer was
selected from those transparent finishes, considering it is environmentally friendly and more
comfortable for children. Water-based lacquer uses pure water and resin, which is left on the
surface of the wood. The coating is waterproof and scratch-resistant. It uses pure water
liquefaction and resin left on the surface of the wood. The coating is waterproof and scratch-
resistant.
3.3.2.
Figure 20, 21, and 22. Application of water-based water-based lacquer finish in making
educational games made of Albasia wood waste (Photo. Team, 2020)
Non-Transparan
Transparent finishes widely circulating in the market include Duco Paint, Laminate,
Veneer, HPL (High-Pressure Laminate), PVC (Polyvinyl Carbonate), Decosheet, and
Tacon/Tacosheet. Duco paint is a method of spraying Duco paint on the surface of
educational games as an option in the exploration of non-transparent finishes. The colors are
varied, such as regular and striking colors suitable for educational games with modern,
minimalist nuances. The price is relatively high, and when it is painted, the original fiber
cannot be restored. The application uses a spray or brush. With the advancement of the
current technology and design, it now has long color shades, and various motifs can be
created from this paint, such as the motif of stone, marble, crackle, silver, copper, and gold.

3.3.3. Combination of Transparent and Non-Transparent

The finishing process carried out in making the Albasia wood waste educational game
also uses a combination of Transparent and Non-Transparent finishes. Finishing using acrylic
paint is used to create motifs on the surface of Albasia wood waste and water-based lacquer
finish on the other parts.
Figure 24 and 25. The application of combination finish, acrylic paint, and water-based lacquer in making
educational games made of Albasia wood waste (Photo. Team, 2020)
This study's results indicate a correlation between the initial assumptions and the final
results of the study, in which the presence of wood waste in Oase Educational Park,
Sidowayah Village, can be processed into educational game products. The character
limitations of Albasia wood can be backed up by various alternatives of finishing and
construction systems. The tiny dimensions of Albasia wood waste can be managed with a
sound design processing, without leaving aesthetics value behind. On the other hand, this
educational game prototype made from albasia wood waste can be actively produced by
Sidowayah Village residents without requiring special equipment and skills. It is essential to
resolve Albasia wood waste's availability and the empowerment of Sidowayah Village
residents around the Oasse Educational Park.
In line with previous studies probing wood waste as a product of educational games,
there is a common problem: the need for exploration of forms, construction, and finishing. On
the other hand, aesthetics also need to be resolved. In this case, the role of design is vital.
However, there is something different from some of the results of previous research, such as
the processing of Albasia wood waste for educational game purposes.
With all the shortcomings in the characteristics of Albasia wood, those become
particular challenges in its design. Commonly, Albasia wood is widely used for building
materials, and its waste is mostly used for cooking purposes. This study's results are expected
to become a model in wood waste processing in general and Albasia wood in particular.

11
The utilization of Albasia wood waste, which is expected to reduce waste, makes the
living environment healthier and cleaner. Furthermore, Albasia wood waste can be formed
into innovative products that positively impact the surrounding environment, whether from an
educational or economic perspective.
CONCLUSION
This article departs from the research 'Utilization of Wood Waste for Educational
Games at Oasse Park in Sidowayah Educational Tourism Village, Klaten' as an effort to
realize the concept of Integrated Tourism Planning of Sidowayah, as a Government and
Education Center, Tourism Area, Agro Complex, Trade and Services Area, Creative
Industries, Conservation Buffer Zones, and Commercial Areas.'
The enthusiasm of the management of Oasse Park was very high in this research
product, so they wish assistance in the design development and production of educational
games made from wood waste in the next follow-up activity.
Using wood waste in Sidowayah Village as material to make educational games per
writing this article had not yet reached the post-production evaluation stage. It is necessary to
conduct trial testing on children in the Oasse Park Dk. Kayuhan, Sidowayah Village, and
more in-depth observations to obtain useful evaluation results for the development of
educational game designs in the future stage.
