Abstract

This scientific article addresses the pressing issue of environmental pollution arising from construction waste, particularly its adverse effects on water quality due to rapid urban development with insufficient environmental considerations. Employing a multidisciplinary approach encompassing literature review and legal analysis, this study investigates the detrimental impacts of construction waste pollution on human health, economic losses, and disruptions to natural ecosystems. The research underscores the critical need for enhanced awareness and action among government entities, contractors, and the public to safeguard the environment from the deleterious effects of construction waste pollution, thereby preserving natural ecosystems and upholding environmental standards. The study's findings emphasize the imperative role of governments in promoting environmental management and regulation, emphasizing the urgency of concerted efforts to address this global environmental challenge. Highlights: Construction waste pollution poses a significant threat to water quality and the environment, especially in rapidly urbanizing areas with inadequate environmental planning. This study employs a multidisciplinary approach, including literature review and legal analysis, to assess the adverse impacts of construction waste on human health, economics, and natural ecosystems. The research underscores the urgency of raising awareness and taking action, involving government bodies, contractors, and the public, to protect the environment, preserve natural ecosystems, and uphold environmental standards. Keywords: Construction Waste Pollution, Water Quality, Environmental Considerations, Multidisciplinary Approach, Environmental Management

Abstract

General Background: Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are vital to economic development, yet many face challenges in expanding their market reach. Specific Background: The Puli Cracker MSME, owned by Mrs. Makilah, exemplifies this challenge, as it primarily relies on local orders without strategies for broader market expansion. Knowledge Gap: A lack of business development skills, particularly in product packaging, branding, and certification, hinders the potential growth of many small businesses like Mrs. Makilah's. Aims: This community service project aims to assist the Puli Cracker MSME in creating packaging stickers, improving product packaging, and obtaining halal certification to enable market expansion beyond the local community. Results: Through interviews and observations, the project identified key areas for improvement, including product labeling, packaging redesign, and halal certification registration. The implementation stages included creating packaging stickers, repackaging the crackers, and fulfilling halal certification requirements, all of which positively impacted the business. Novelty: The project introduced a structured, step-by-step approach to MSME development, combining product enhancement with halal certification, which is often overlooked in small-scale enterprises. Implications: The improvements in packaging and branding, along with the halal certification, are expected to significantly enhance the marketability and credibility of Mrs. Makilah’s Puli Cracker, allowing it to reach a wider market. These interventions provide a replicable model for other MSMEs aiming to grow sustainably and expand their market share.

Abstract

General Background: Public health awareness, particularly in rural areas, is often limited, with people neglecting basic health monitoring. Specific Background: In Pangkemiri Village, health checks are rare, leading to undetected conditions related to blood pressure, blood sugar, and uric acid. Knowledge Gap: There is insufficient knowledge among the public regarding regular health checks and preventative care. Aims: This study aims to increase community awareness of health through free health checks and education organized by Real Work Lecture (KKN) students. Results: The activity involved blood pressure, blood sugar, and uric acid checks, as well as health education on maintaining normal levels. The high community participation demonstrated an increased understanding of health monitoring. Novelty: This initiative provided direct health services and consultations, empowering rural residents with critical information about their health status and prevention measures. Implications: The results indicate that continued health education and regular check-ups can lead to early detection of health conditions, fostering healthier lifestyles in the community. This program can serve as a model for future health-focused community service activities.
