Abstract: This Community Service Program aims to broaden the knowledge and awareness of women from PKK groups and the local community of Pematang Johar Village regarding ecoprint as an environmentally friendly creative product based on local resources with economic potential. Pematang Johar Village is an agrarian area with 18 existing flagship products from various hamlets, yet ecoprint has never been introduced or developed.

Abstract

The International Community Service program was implemented in Pematang Johar Village, Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra—an emerging semi-periurban area characterized by socioeconomic vulnerabilities that heighten residents’ exposure to illegal online lending and fraudulent investment schemes. Utilizing the Participatory Action Learning and Action Research (PALAR) approach, the program integrated experiential learning, critical reflection, group discussions, and locally relevant case studies to strengthen financial literacy. Evaluation results indicate substantial improvements across key indicators, including knowledge of licensed financial institutions, the ability to identify illegal financial practices, and overall financial prudence. These findings demonstrate that contextualized, community-based financial education effectively enhances risk awareness and encourages safer financial behaviour. The program further provides practical insights for designing scalable and replicable community financial literacy models applicable to similar semi-periurban contexts.

Abstract

Rural areas with natural potential and agrarian atmosphere such as Pematang Johar Village present opportunities to be developed into sustainable tourism destinations. However, limitations in lodging facilities and lack of environmentally friendly practices become obstacles in optimizing that potential. Therefore, this community-service activity aims to design and assist the implementation of eco-friendly homestays and lodgings as a new tourist attraction in the village. The implementation methods consist of initial observation and problem identification, training and assistance for lodging managers/owners and community members, and post-implementation evaluation. The results show increased environmental awareness among homestay managers and the community, evidenced by improved building design using local/natural materials, implementation of waste management systems and greening the environment, and establishment of environmentally friendly homestay service standards. These findings indicate that eco-friendly homestay development can serve as an alternative lodging option that strengthens the village’s tourism appeal while supporting environmental preservation and community empowerment. Thus, environmentally conscious lodging innovation is worthy to be adopted as a sustainable tourism model in Pematang Johar Village, with a recommendation that management continues participatively and receives support from the village authority for sustainability.

Abstract

Pematang Johar Village is one of the agricultural villages with abundant rice production. However, a portion of the harvest results in low-quality rice such as broken grains, dull color, and leftover rice from daily consumption. This problem leads to economic inefficiency and increased food waste. Through this community service program, a new value chain innovation was introduced by processing rice waste into rice crackers. This innovation was chosen because of easily available raw materials, cultural consumption habits, and its potential to reduce food waste while creating local culinary identity. The production process is simple, low-cost, and offers wide marketing opportunities both online and offline. The program results show an increase in community knowledge and skills, establishment of a small business group, and the birth of a new culinary identity for Pematang Johar Village.

Abstract

Digital transformation is increasingly crucial for tourism villages in Indonesia as tourist behavior shifts toward digital technology for travel decisions. However, many villages remain behind in digital literacy and online marketing skills. Pematang Johar Tourism Village in Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra, exemplifies this challenge. Despite its strong agricultural and cultural potential, it struggles to promote itself effectively due to limited human resources, inadequate infrastructure, and minimal understanding of digital marketing strategies. To address these gaps, a community service program emphasizing digitalization training and mentoring was implemented. The program focused on improving digital literacy, developing creative promotional content, and utilizing social media as a marketing tool. Through participatory and hands-on learning, participants enhanced their ability to create engaging digital content, manage social media platforms, and highlight local cultural values in promotions. The #ExplorePematangJohar campaign further boosted the village’s online visibility and digital identity.
