Abstract

This community service activity aims to address the critical challenges of clean water availability and food security faced by communities in the karst area of Biraeng Village, Pangkep Regency, which is characterized by fragile geological conditions and rapid drainage. These conditions result in limited surface water availability and have a negative impact on agricultural productivity. Data was collected through field observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the social and environmental conditions. The results show that the community relies on dug wells, seasonal springs, rainwater harvesting, and bore wells, whose discharge decreases during the dry season, thereby requiring a collective water distribution management system. Community empowerment through the establishment of water management groups has proven effective in improving more equitable and organized access to water. In addition, food diversification programs, such as cultivating corn, cassava, and utilizing home gardens, have been effective in maintaining local food availability despite environmental limitations. However, challenges such as limited technical knowledge and underdeveloped local institutions remain significant constraints. Therefore, this study recommends strengthening local institutions in a sustainable manner, integrating appropriate technology, and developing food diversification strategies based on local potential to achieve food security and sustainable water resource management in karst areas.

Abstract

Mappalili Ceremony is a sacred tradition of the Bugis-Makassar community that embodies profound ecological, social, and spiritual values in agricultural management. The preservation of this cultural heritage was carried out through the Tudang Sipulung activity as a form of community engagement to support the development of the Maros-Pangkep Geopark. The activity took place at the Balla Kalompoang Traditional House, Labakkang District, Pangkep Regency, involving 35 participants consisting of traditional leaders, local government officials, geopark managers, and community members. The method employed a participatory approach through discussions, the distribution of monograph books, cultural preservation models, and pre-test and post-test evaluations to measure the participants’ understanding of Mappalili’s cultural values. The results indicated a significant improvement in participants’ comprehension, with the high category increasing from 0% to 71.43% after mentoring activities. Tudang Sipulung proved to be an effective medium for cultural communication and education, strengthening collective awareness in preserving local traditions and supporting the geopark as an integrated space between natural conservation and cultural heritage. This study recommends the involvement of younger generations and local government support to ensure the sustainability of the Mappalili Ceremony as a cultural legacy that contributes to the development of tourism based on local wisdom.
