Abstract

Women's empowerment and environmental management are two important issues in sustainable development. Dharma Wanita Association (DWA) Probolinggo City responded to these two issues through creative training in making decorative flowers from used spunbond bags. This training aims to teach DWA members how to utilize spunbond bags, which often accumulate in households due to the policy to reduce the use of plastic bags, into economically valuable craft products. Apart from supporting policies to reduce plastic waste, this training also functions as a means of empowering women by increasing their skills and creativity in the field of handicrafts. The results of this activity are not only environmentally friendly decorative flower products, but also the potential for further development in the field of recycling-based crafts. This training opens up opportunities for participants to develop small businesses based on recycled products, as well as expand networks with other communities that support the waste management movement. In addition, the potential for this activity can be integrated with environmental education and adopted as a sustainable program to increase environmental awareness in society. With increasing awareness of the importance of protecting the environment, recycling-based training like this has bright prospects and can become a model for similar activities in the future. This activity not only provides economic and social benefits for DWA members, but also contributes to global efforts to reduce the negative impact of plastic waste on the environment.

Abstract

The proposal seminar is a key academic milestone, yet many institutions still manage it manually, leading to delays, repeated revisions, fragmented documentation, and high administrative workload. Few studies, however, examine lightweight, low-cost approaches for improving such academic workflows without relying on full automation. This study analyses the proposal-seminar process by translating the existing SOP and administrative guidelines into a BPMN model and evaluating its performance using the Devil’s Quadrangle framework. The as-is model reveals issues across all four dimensions, i.e. long cycle times, high process effort, inconsistent documentation, and limited flexibility. A lightweight to-be process is proposed, emphasizing simplification, standardization, and the use of existing digital tools such as Google Forms, shared folders, and templates. Evaluation results show positive improvements across time, cost, and quality, demonstrating that modest interventions can enhance academic administrative processes. The study also offers practical implications, showing that faculties can implement these enhancements immediately using existing resources without additional budget or IT infrastructure. Future work may include quantitative performance measurement and gradual integration of automation to further strengthen process efficiency.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Laweyan Village, Probolinggo City, encounter intertwined challenges in business legality and digital readiness that hinder their competitiveness and access to formal markets. This community engagement program aimed to enhance MSME competitiveness through integrated mentoring on business legality covering Business Identification Number (NIB), and Home Industry Food Permit (PIRT), and digital transformation training. Using a participatory approach, the program involved 20 MSME participants from the food, crafts, and trade sectors in structured workshops, administrative facilitation, and digital mentoring. Results showed that 80% of participants successfully registered for NIB, and 50% initiated PIRT applications. Most participants also adopted QRIS-based digital payment systems, improved product branding, and created active social media profiles for online promotion. Evaluation through pre and post-tests revealed substantial increases in legal and digital literacy, along with improved transaction efficiency and customer engagement. These outcomes demonstrate that combining legality formalization with digital empowerment effectively enhances MSME competitiveness and resilience. Sustained collaboration among academic institutions, local government, and MSME actors is recommended to ensure long-term impact and scalability.
