Abstract

Community empowerment is an important effort to improve the welfare and economic independence of the community. This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of material socialization in empowering the people of Pasar Baru Village, Tanjung Balai City, through cultivating freshwater lobsters. The method used is the distribution of printed and digital materials which include technical guidance on cultivating freshwater lobsters, as well as direct outreach to the public. The research results showed that the socialization of the material was successful in increasing basic knowledge and public interest in cultivating freshwater lobsters. As many as 80% of participants reported increased understanding and interest in being involved in this cultivation business. Apart from that, outreach materials also increase public awareness of the importance of environmentally friendly cultivation practices. Although material dissemination is effective in disseminating information, limitations in the form of information delivery (without practical training) pose a challenge in implementing the knowledge gained. To achieve more optimal results, a more comprehensive approach is needed that includes practical training, technical guidance and market access support. This research concludes that material dissemination is an important first step in empowering the community through cultivating freshwater lobsters. However, to achieve sustainable success, more holistic and integrated follow-up efforts are needed.

Abstract

The cultivation of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is a strategic initiative to promote aquaculture development in Indonesia and to enhance economic welfare by providing sustainable income opportunities. This community empowerment program was implemented with the Sudo Mina Jaya Fish Farmers Group in Tanjung Alam Village, Asahan Regency, aiming to strengthen farmers’ capacity and technical skills through a participatory approach. Key challenges identified included inadequate water quality management, limited knowledge of breeding techniques, and issues affecting fish health and productivity. The program employed the Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) method, comprising an initial survey, training on sustainable tilapia breeding, pond management, and probiotic production, as well as technical assistance and interactive guidance sessions. Program effectiveness was evaluated using pre-test and post-test assessments. Results showed a significant increase in participants’ knowledge scores from a mean pre-test score of 54 to a post-test mean of 92 (n = 13), confirmed by a Wilcoxon signed-rank test (Z = 3.209, p = 0.001). Continued technical assistance and regular monitoring further supported the practical application of the knowledge gained. This program successfully provided practical solutions to local challenges, enhanced participants’ aquaculture skills, and opened opportunities for sustainable fish farming businesses
