Abstract

Desa Tuapejat adalah sebuah desa yang terletak di kepulauan Mentawai dengan hasil budidaya masyarakat salahsatunya adalah talas. Talas merupakan tanaman lokal yang melimpah di wilayah ini, namun pemanfaatannya masih terbatas pada konsumsi tradisional, dan bahkan talas kadang hanya dijadikan sebagai makanan ternak di wilayah tersebut. Untuk meningkatkan nilai perekonomian masyarakat maka telah dilakukan kegiatan pelatihan pengolahan umbi talas menjadi berbagai macam makanan di desa Tuapejat. Kegiatan diikuti oleh peserta mitra dengan latar belakang ibu rumah tangga dan anggota PKK desa Tuapejat. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan masyarakat dalam pengolahan umbi talas, meningkatkan diversifikasi produk olahan umbi talas untuk menciptakan nilai tambah dan untuk meningkatkan pendapatan masyarakat melalui pemasaran produk olahan talas. Program ini melibatkan sosialisasi dan praktik pembuatan berbagai olahan talas, seperti keripik talas dengan aneka rasa, nugget talas, cake talas, bola-bola talas isi cokelat, dodol talas cokelat, dan keripik talas balado. Peserta mitra diajarkan bagaimana pemilihan talas yang baik, cara mengupas, pengolahan dan pengemasan produk yang sudah jadi. Hasil dari kegiatan ini menunjukkan bahwa para peserta, terutama ibu-ibu, mulai memproduksi dan menjual olahan berbasis talas secara kelompok maupun mandiri. Tim selalu memberikan pendampingan terhadap peserta mitra untuk memantau dan memberikan penyuluhan agar peserta mitra dapat meningkatkan produksi dan penjualannya. Kegiatan ini berkontribusi pada peningkatan keterampilan peserta serta membuka peluang usaha baru yang dapat meningkatkan pendapatan keluarga.

This community service program aimed to establish a consumer cooperative and to strengthen the institutional and managerial capacities of community members. The program applied four stages: preparation, socialization, technical training, and evaluation. The preparation stage was conducted on 9 April 2025 through coordination meetings attended by the President and Secretary of PALIKO and the community service team from Universitas Bung Hatta in Padang. The socialization, technical training, and evaluation activities were carried out on 15 June 2025 in Cheras, Malaysia, involving 52 participants consisting of community members, prospective board members, and community leaders. Evaluation was conducted using pre-test and post-test instruments, participatory observation, and focus group discussions. The results of the activity showed an increase in cooperative knowledge, as seen in the average evaluation score with an increase of 22.8%. This activity also has the potential to increase members' economic value through a collective purchasing mechanism that can reduce procurement costs. This program is effective in strengthening the economic independence of cooperative-based migrant communities.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the impact of economic growth, poverty rate, and unemployment rate on community welfare in Jambi Province from 2015 to 2024, measured by the Human Development Index (HDI). The study aims to provide empirical evidence on how these socioeconomic factors collectively and individually influence regional welfare. Design/Methodology/Approach: A quantitative explanatory research design was employed using annual time-series secondary data. Multiple linear regression analysis with the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method was applied. To ensure robustness, stationarity tests, cointegration tests, and classical assumption tests were conducted to avoid spurious regression and satisfy econometric requirements. Findings: The results demonstrate that economic growth, poverty, and unemployment have a significant simultaneous effect on community welfare. Partially, economic growth positively affects HDI, poverty exerts a negative impact, and unemployment shows a positive association with HDI during the study period. Research Implications: The findings highlight the importance of comprehensive regional development policies that not only promote economic growth but also focus on poverty alleviation and human capital development through sustained investments in education, healthcare, and social protection. The observed relationship between unemployment and welfare underscores the need for integrated employment strategies aligned with broader human development objectives.
