Abstract

This community service program aims to enhance the capacity of the Sampora Village community, Tangerang, in developing sustainable urban farming through the implementation of hydroponic systems. The program addresses the need for alternative agricultural practices in urban areas to support food security and environmental sustainability. The methods employed included educational counseling on sustainable agriculture, hands-on training in basic hydroponic techniques, technical guidance on advanced hydroponic piping systems, and interactive discussions and question-and-answer sessions to strengthen participants’ understanding. Community members were actively involved as participants, while practical learning tools such as hydroponic installation equipment and nutrient management systems were utilized throughout the program. Data were analyzed using a descriptive approach, combining quantitative analysis of pre-test and post-test results. The findings indicate significant improvements in participants’ competencies, including increased understanding of hydroponic systems from 20% to 85%, installation skills from 15% to 80%, nutrient management knowledge from 10% to 78%, and maintenance skills from 12% to 82%. In addition, participants developed awareness of potential business opportunities, such as selling fresh produce to local markets. In conclusion, the implementation of hydroponic-based urban farming had a positive impact on community empowerment, environmental awareness, and local economic development, thereby contributing to the creation of sustainable and resilient urban communities.

Abstract

This community service program aims to enhance participants' knowledge and promote more energy-efficient electricity consumption practices among members of the Family Welfare Empowerment (PKK) group through training on the use of a web-based electricity consumption simulation application. The program was implemented through educational sessions, hands-on training, simulation exercises, and mentoring involving 35 PKK members in Sampora Village, Tangerang Regency. Program effectiveness was evaluated using pre-test and post-test assessments, direct observations, and participant satisfaction questionnaires. The data were analyzed descriptively. The results showed a significant improvement in participants' knowledge, with the mean score increasing from 56.8 before the training to 85.2 after the training, representing an increase of 28.4%. In addition, 91% of participants reported that the application was easy to use, 94% considered the training materials clear and easy to understand, and 89% expressed their willingness to adopt energy-saving practices in their daily household activities. Overall, the program successfully improved participants' energy literacy and basic digital competencies while equipping them with practical skills to estimate household electricity consumption, enabling them to make more informed decisions to reduce energy use and lower monthly electricity costs.
