Abstract

This community service program aimed to enhance digital marketing skills and business innovation among home-based workers in the PPR Seri Sena Community, Kangar, Perlis, Malaysia. The activity was conducted on 13 April 2026 and involved ten participants from the partner community. The program was implemented through a needs assessment, preliminary observation, interviews and discussions with the community, preparation of training materials, an interactive workshop, practical demonstrations, question-and-answer activities, and program evaluation. The training focused on social media utilization, digital marketing, promotional features, digital branding, product differentiation, and business innovation. The evaluation results showed that participants’ understanding of social media utilization for business purposes increased from 44% before the program to 83% after the activity, representing an improvement of 39 percentage points. Understanding of social media promotional features increased from 20% to 75%, representing an improvement of 55 percentage points. These findings demonstrate that participatory and practice-oriented digital marketing training can effectively strengthen the digital competencies of home-based workers and support their readiness to improve business competitiveness. Nevertheless, the program was limited by the small number of participants and the short-term evaluation period, so further mentoring and longitudinal evaluation are recommended to examine its effects on business performance and household income.

Abstract

Environmental degradation and the declining quality of urban green spaces require collaborative conservation initiatives involving higher education institutions and university students. This community service program aimed to strengthen the role of students in environmental conservation through environmental education and sustainable tree-planting activities conducted at Medan Urban Forest on 22 June 2026 involving fifteen students from the Management Study Program of Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Manajemen Sukma. The program employed an integrated approach consisting of environmental education, participatory discussions, practical planting of mango (Mangifera indica) and mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) trees, and post-activity evaluation. The results demonstrated significant improvements in participants' environmental competence, with ecosystem knowledge increasing from 41% to 85%, environmental awareness from 65% to 98%, environmental responsibility from 35% to 100%, and environmental empathy from 51% to 78%. Participant satisfaction was also highly positive, with 55% reporting being very satisfied, 34% satisfied, and 11% moderately satisfied with the implementation of the program. These findings indicate that integrating environmental education with experiential conservation activities effectively enhances environmental literacy, strengthens pro-environmental attitudes, and encourages active participation in sustainable environmental stewardship. Therefore, this community service program provides a practical and replicable model for universities seeking to integrate environmental education, student empowerment, and community engagement in support of sustainable urban environmental conservation.
