Abstract

This study aims to explore the empowerment of pandan craftsmen as a means of improving the economic welfare of women in Kecupak II Village, PGGS District, Pakpak Bharat Regency. The pandan handicrafts in this village have significant potential for development, but limited access to markets and skill training has resulted in suboptimal income for artisans, especially women. Through a community empowerment approach, this research focuses on skill development, product quality enhancement, and broader market access. The research method used is a qualitative approach with data collection techniques including interviews, observations, and focus group discussions (FGD) with artisans, community leaders, and other relevant stakeholders. The findings indicate that training in skills, strengthening business management, and improved market access can increase product quality and competitiveness of pandan handicrafts in local and regional markets. Furthermore, this empowerment initiative has opened up economic opportunities for women, increased household incomes, and strengthened the role of women in the village economy. As a recommendation, further support from the government and related institutions is needed to provide advanced training, broader marketing access, and business capital assistance to sustain and advance the pandan handicraft industry. In this way, the empowerment of pandan craftsmen in Kecupak II Village is expected to become a model for community-based economic empowerment that empowers women and enhances the overall well-being of the village community.

Abstract

Environmental management and village cleanliness through social movements in community empowerment efforts in Sei Nagalawan Village, Perbaungan District, Serdang Bedagai Regency, are still constrained by various factors. These include: the limited capacity of the village community to reduce the rapidly increasing volume of waste, the low level of community knowledge regarding waste management and household yard cleanliness, and weak partnerships in community-based waste management initiatives. This situation needs to be addressed through community service programs. The activities are designed to empower the PKK (Family Welfare Movement) Women’s Group, village Posyandu (Integrated Health Post) cadres, and the broader community by providing outreach and awareness-raising on the importance of maintaining a clean, waste-free environment through social movements. The objectives of this independent community service program are to: (1) contribute to reducing the alarming rate of waste generation, (2) increase the knowledge of PKK members and Posyandu cadres on waste management, and (3) strengthen local institutions as a means of fostering community-based social movements for waste management. The methods used in this program include: socialization and training on environmental management with a focus on preventing yard waste, and a participatory approach to social movements that integrates the role of local institutions. The results of this community service initiative demonstrate increased community motivation to manage waste and maintain clean household yards through social movement-based approaches.
