Abstract

Bengkala Village in Buleleng Regency, Bali, is an inclusive village inhabited by the Kolok community, a deaf-mute group that has developed a local sign language system. This community faces serious challenges in accessing health information, particularly related to stunting prevention efforts. This article aims to identify inclusive and effective health communication strategies for people with disabilities in the local context. Disabled groups remain vulnerable due to limited communication access. Through an equity-based communication approach and a disability-inclusive development framework, health communication needs to be developed using visual media, local sign language, and community-based participatory strategies. The analysis also shows that legally based interventions, such as Presidential Regulation No. 72 of 2021 and Law No. 8 of 2016, are important stepping stones, although their implementation remains limited. This study emphasizes the importance of transforming health communication, not only to inform but also to transformative efforts in reaching marginalized groups like the Kolok community to reduce stunting rates equitably and inclusively.

Abstract

The massive spread of hoaxes through social media has become a serious challenge in Indonesia, as it not only disrupts individual understanding but also threatens social harmony and legal certainty. This community service program, organized by the Women’s Empowerment Forum (FPPI) Bali Province, aimed to raise public awareness of the dangers of hoaxes while providing legal knowledge regarding the consequences faced by those who disseminate false information. The program was carried out through a combination of legal counselling and participatory communication campaigns with a local cultural approach. The legal counselling materials included the regulatory framework governing hoaxes, their social impacts, and strategies for early detection and prevention. Meanwhile, the communication campaign utilized posters, infographics, digital content, as well as cultural expressions such as traditional poetry (pantun) and Balinese performing arts, making the legal messages easier to understand and more engaging. Participants, consisting of women, youth, students, and community leaders, were actively involved in discussions, simulations, and group campaigns. The results of the program indicated an increased understanding among participants regarding the legal implications of spreading hoaxes and improved ability to identify misleading information in the digital sphere. This program demonstrates that participatory community-based strategies, when combined with legal literacy and cultural communication, can strengthen both digital awareness and social resilience against hoaxes. The initiative also reflects the role of higher education institutions in fulfilling the Tri Dharma of universities through legal education, community empowerment, and the promotion of responsible digital citizenship.

Abstract

Online gambling has become a complex social problem in Sukajaya Village, Sumedang, with negative impacts on the economy, mental health, and social stability of the community. Laws and regulations related to online gambling, such as Law Number 19 of 2016 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions (ITE) and the Criminal Code, regulate the prohibition and sanctions against gambling practices. The percentage between ideal norms in regulations and the implementation of reality is still a challenge in prevention and handling efforts. This study aims to develop a participatory-based intervention program in dealing with online gambling behavior through the involvement of the community, village government, and NGOs. The discussion includes identification of causal factors, evaluation of regulatory effectiveness, and design of community-based prevention strategies. The intervention program to suppress online gambling behavior in Sukajaya Village uses a participatory-based approach in the form of educational workshops, legal counseling, and the formation of support groups for affected individuals. The expected results of this study are increased public awareness of the dangers of online gambling, the formation of social support mechanisms, and policy recommendations that are more adaptive to community needs. This study contributes to building effective intervention strategies to create a healthier social environment free from the influence of online gambling. The methods used include workshops, legal counseling, and the formation of support groups for individuals affected by online gambling. In addition, this study explores existing legal regulations related to online gambling to provide a clear framework for prevention efforts. The results of this program are expected to increase public awareness of the dangers of online gambling, strengthen social solidarity, and provide support for individuals experiencing addiction problems. This study is important as a preventive effort in building a healthier and more productive society.

Abstract

Indonesian Migrant Workers (Pekerja Migran Indonesia-PMI) constitute a vulnerable population that frequently encounters family-law problems, particularly marriages that are religiously valid but not formally registered. From a legal standpoint, marriage registration is mandatory as an instrument to ensure legal certainty and family protection. In practice, however, many PMI marriages abroad remain unregistered due to limited access to legal information, cross-border administrative barriers, institutional fragmentation, and jurisdictional differences. This situation creates legal uncertainty regarding the status of spouses and children, obstructing the fulfillment of civil rights, access to public services, and family-law protections, thus undermining the state’s mandate to protect PMI and their families. This cross-border Community Service Program (Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat-PKM) aims to bridge the gap between legal norms and lived realities through an integrated itsbat nikah (judicial marriage validation) service model implemented in Kuching, Malaysia. The program employs a socio-legal approach using a participatory community-engagement design combined with applied doctrinal legal research. Data were collected through regulatory review, field observation, limited interviews with PMI and stakeholders, and administrative and legal assistance. Qualitative analysis connected the regulatory framework of marriage, civil registration, and migrant-worker protection with legal service delivery and the social impacts experienced by migrant families. The program’s outcomes indicate that an integrated itsbat nikah model enhances legal certainty for PMI families through judicial validation of marriage and the integration of legal documentation into civil registration processes. The program recommends strengthening cross-border integrated legal services and updating technical policies to better address the structural vulnerabilities of PMI as part of broader efforts to expand access to justice.

Abstract

The mepasah burial tradition practiced by the Bali Aga community in Terunyan Village, Bali, represents a distinctive form of local wisdom in treating the deceased through open-air placement without burial or cremation. This tradition is grounded in customary village law (awig-awig) and sustained through transcendental communication that constructs symbolic relationships between humans, ancestors, nature, and the local cosmological order. In contemporary social developments, the continuity of the mepasah tradition faces increasingly complex socio-legal challenges, including the declining internalization of awig-awig values among younger generations, the emergence of social friction due to differing interpretations of customary norms, and unequal relations between indigenous communities and external actors, particularly the tourism sector and state institutions. These challenges are exacerbated by the limited operationalization of formal recognition of customary village law within public policy practices, resulting in the marginalization of customary norms when confronted with positivist-oriented health and environmental regulations. This Community Engagement Program (Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat/PKM) focuses on strengthening the customary law of Terunyan Village by positioning transcendental communication as a source of normative and cultural legitimacy in the implementation of burial traditions. The program employs a participatory socio-legal approach through the review of awig-awig, participant observation, focus group discussions (FGDs), and in-depth interviews with customary leaders and community members, in line with the constitutional recognition of indigenous communities under Article 18B paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and the recognition of customary villages under Law Number 6 of 2014 on Villages. The novelty of this program lies in the design of a customary law strengthening model that integrates transcendental communication as a mediating mechanism between customary norms, the state legal framework, and external tourism pressures. The implementation results demonstrate increased collective legal awareness, strengthened social legitimacy of customary village law, and the formation of transcendental communication patterns that function as mechanisms for social conflict resolution and strategies for customary preservation. These findings affirm that the sustainability of local traditions in Bali requires a harmonious integration of customary law, community social dynamics, and transcendental communication as the foundation of equitable customary village governance.
