Abstract

This research examines the impact of economic activities on water quality pollution of the Deli River in Silalas Village, West Medan Sub-district, Medan City. The Deli River, once the lifeblood of trade and commerce, is now severely degraded due to the discharge of various types of waste, including household garbage, small business waste and cottage industry waste, all of which contribute to the murky, pungent-smelling and waste-filled water condition. The absence of adequate sewage treatment systems makes the river a major dumping ground for economic actors. The impact of this pollution extends to public health, causing illnesses such as itching, skin infections, diarrhea, and fever due to the continued use of polluted river water for daily needs due to economic constraints. In addition, the river ecosystem is also disrupted, affecting fish populations and overall environmental sustainability. Despite efforts from the government and related agencies, uneven monitoring and education as well as the lack of waste management facilities show a lack of effectiveness in addressing this issue. Long-term solutions require synergy between the government, businesses, and citizens, through strict enforcement of regulations, improved waste management facilities, and continuous environmental education to restore the Deli River as a clean and healthy water resource.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) have a strategic role in supporting the village economy through the utilization of local potential. However, MSMEs in Sukatepu Village still face obstacles in product quality and marketing that tend to be conventional. This community service activity aims to improve the quality and marketing of typical products of Sukatepu Village MSMEs through  the Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach. The implementation stages include problem identification, counseling to improve product quality and hygiene, branding and packaging assistance, and social media-based digital marketing training. The results of the activity show that there is an increase in the knowledge and skills of MSME actors in the process of production, packaging, and marketing of products. MSME products have experienced positive changes in terms of quality and packaging appearance, as well as a wider marketing reach through the use of digital technology. These findings confirm that strengthening the capacity of MSMEs through a participatory approach can be an effective strategy in increasing the competitiveness of local products while supporting sustainable village economic development.
