<![CDATA[Bogor Village, located in Cawas District, Klaten Regency, is deeply connected to an agrarian way of life. Many residents work as farmers, with rice serving as the primary crop. Before the advent of modern rice-milling technology, the community relied on traditional tools specifically the lumpang (mortar) and alu (pestle) to process harvested rice into edible rice grains. However, with technological advancements, the use of these traditional tools has declined and largely fallen out of practice. To honor this agrarian heritage, the Lumpang-Alu Monument was established in Bogor Village. Observations revealed, however, that the monument was poorly maintained and its surroundings were untidy. Consequently, students participating in the Student Community Service (KKN) program undertook a revitalization project to preserve this element of local culture. The initiative aimed to improve the monument's physical condition while raising community awareness regarding the village's identity and history. The project employed methods including observation, interviews, documentation, and a participatory revitalization process. The results demonstrated an improvement in the monument's physical condition and aesthetics, as well as a cleaner, more organized surrounding environment.]]>
