Abstract

The rapid growth of financial technology has reshaped students’ financial behavior through the widespread use of digital payment systems. This study examines the effects of financial literacy and fintech usage on students’ consumptive behavior, with financial self‑efficacy as a mediating variable. Using a quantitative explanatory approach, data were collected from 259 vocational high school students and analyzed with PLS‑SEM. The results show that financial literacy significantly reduces consumptive behavior, while fintech usage significantly increases it. Although financial literacy enhances financial self‑efficacy, self‑efficacy does not significantly influence consumptive behavior nor mediate the tested relationships. These findings indicate that technological convenience outweighs psychological control, highlighting the importance of integrating financial literacy education with behavioral regulation in the digital finance environment.

Abstract

Kiara Village, located in Walantaka Sub-district, Serang City, is an agrarian area where most residents work as rice farmers. Rice milling in this area generates a substantial amount of husk waste, approximately 25% of grain weight, which has largely accumulated and disrupted the environment due to its slow natural decomposition. This article documents and analyzes the transformation of husk waste into a branded rice-husk charcoal product, RASEKAR (Arang Sekam Kiara), as an effort to increase economic value for the local community. The activity was conducted in Kampung Prisein, Kiara Village, on 13 and 26 July 2026, using a qualitative descriptive case-study approach, with data gathered through participatory observation, hands-on practice, and field documentation. Results show that rice husk, containing up to 16.98% silica along with carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, was successfully processed into husk charcoal that functions as a planting medium, loosens soil, regulates soil pH within the 6.5 to 7 range, and retains moisture. Further analysis indicates that packaging and branding strategy under the RASEKAR label was a determining factor in increasing the market appeal of a product that previously had no economic value. The main constraint identified was the limited combustion technology, which produced excessive smoke. This study recommends upgrading combustion equipment and expanding education to other hamlets in Kiara Village so that the program's benefits are more evenly distributed.
