Abstract

This community service activity facilitated public consultation for the environmental impact assessment of the planned development and operation of Datu Sanggul Regional General Hospital in Tapin Regency, Indonesia. It aimed to identify environmental and social issues expressed through written and oral public input and to examine their relevance to environmental impact assessment scoping. A descriptive qualitative case study was applied to nine written public-input forms, documented oral input, meeting records, consultation materials, and the draft scoping form. The data were coded and thematically compared without treating written and oral records as unique respondents. Written input documented individual concerns and expectations concerning wastewater, runoff, hazardous waste, construction disturbance, local employment, and health services. Oral dialogue added location-specific and technical details concerning downstream settlements, the Batung River, nighttime noise, the retention pond, technical planning documents, and grievance channels. The complementary channels improved the traceability of community concerns into potential-impact evaluation. Combining accessible written forms, facilitated dialogue, and transparent follow-up was therefore important for community service based on environmental expertise and for more substantive public involvement.

Abstract

Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) in Merasa Village, Kelay District, Berau Regency, holds a critical position within East Kalimantan's plantation sector, backed by a total regional cocoa land area of 1,061.10 Ha producing 514,488.00 kg of dry beans annually. However, local farmers face extreme economic vulnerability due to a drastic 45% price collapse in non-fermented beans between January and April 2026 (falling from Rp 55,000/kg to Rp 25,000/kg), while fermented cocoa maintains a substantial price premium reaching Rp 100,000/kg. This Community Service program aims to empower cocoa farmers in Merasa Village through intensive training on Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), standardized wooden box fermentation, moisture content control (7–7.5%), and artisan chocolate processing. Using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, the program successfully increased farmers' knowledge by 85%, standardized physical bean quality for export markets, and established value-added local craft chocolate products. This initiative mitigates market price volatility, captures a 185%–300% price margin, and fortifies Kampung Merasa’s position as a sustainable premium cocoa producer.
