Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of health-oriented technology education socialization programs on the higher education choices of SMA/SMK/SLB students under the Regional Branch Office 2 of the North Sumatra Provincial Education Office. A mixed-methods design was employed, integrating quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews. The research sample consisted of 342 Grade XI and XII students from 18 schools (10 SMA, 6 SMK, and 2 SLB) across Deli Serdang Regency, Serdang Bedagai Regency, and Tebing Tinggi City. Data were gathered through structured questionnaires, Focus Group Discussions (FGD), and direct observation during socialization events. Quantitative analysis used logistic regression and chi-square tests, while qualitative data were analyzed thematically. Findings reveal that 67.8% of students experienced a significant shift in interest toward health technology study programs following socialization. The intensity of socialization exposure was statistically associated with students' decisions to pursue health technology-related degrees (OR = 3.47; 95% CI: 2.18–5.52; p < 0.001). Given the absence of a control group, this finding indicates an association rather than definitive causal evidence. Key contributing factors included the quality of socialization materials, relevance to local healthcare industry needs, and scholarship information availability. This study recommends strengthening technology-based socialization programs across all secondary education units to support the supply of technology-competent health workers in North Sumatra.

Abstract

The Belawan mangrove area in Medan City, Indonesia, possesses significant ecotourism potential yet remains underdeveloped due to inadequate physical infrastructure misaligned with green architecture principles and the minimal utilization of information technology for promotion and visitor management. This community service project aimed to revitalize the area through an integrated "smart eco-tourism" strategy combining sustainable facility design with digital marketing and technology-based visitor interpretation. Using a participatory action research approach involving 30 local management group members, the project implemented three main interventions: (1) collaborative green facility planning (elevated boardwalks, natural ventilation, and local eco-friendly materials), (2) digital promotion training (social media management, photography, and QR-code-based interpretive signage), and (3) institutional strengthening. Results showed significant improvements: participants' technical knowledge increased from a mean pre-test score of 54.2 to 81.6 (a 50.6% increase), social media engagement rose by 65%, and visitor numbers grew by 41.8% within three months post-intervention. The successful integration of green architecture and digital tools created a replicable, community-owned model that enhances ecological sustainability while providing tangible economic benefits. This smart eco-tourism framework offers practical guidance for revitalizing similar coastal mangrove destinations across North Sumatra and other developing coastal regions.

Abstract

The phenomenon of tidal flooding has become a recurring threat to coastal communities in Belawan Sub-district, Medan City, which forms part of the East Coast of North Sumatra—an area experiencing land subsidence and rising sea levels due to climate change. These conditions have led to damage to settlements, disruption to fishermen’s economic activities, and a decline in the environmental health of coastal communities. This community service initiative aims to empower the Belawan community through the implementation of two main approaches: amphibious construction as an adaptive architectural solution enabling floating dwellings to adjust to water level fluctuations; and an Internet of Things (IoT)-based mitigation system comprising water level monitoring sensors and an early warning system linked to a smartphone application. The implementation methods included a socialisation and vulnerability assessment phase, technical training on prototype-scale amphibious construction, installation of IoT devices, community mentoring, and an evaluation of the programme’s sustainability. The results of the activities demonstrate an increased understanding amongst the community of adaptive technologies based on local wisdom and appropriate technology, the construction of one prototype amphibious foundation unit at the home of an affected resident, and the functioning of a real-time tidal flood early warning system. It is hoped that this initiative will serve as a replicable model for the empowerment of coastal communities facing the threat of tidal flooding in other coastal areas of North Sumatra.
