Abstract

The Community Service Program (Kuliah Kerja Nyata/KKN) serves as a means for university students to apply the knowledge acquired during their studies to community life. The main program carried out by the students was the revitalization of public spaces through the provision of benches and waste bins in the Danau Buatan area. This program was initiated in response to the limited availability of seating facilities facing Danau Buatan that could be accessed and utilized by the community free of charge. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach using observation, interviews, and documentation techniques. The students coordinated with local residents, RT/RW representatives, and the local village head throughout the planning, procurement, and installation stages, resulting in the installation of ten benches and several waste bins along the roadside access to the Danau Buatan area. The results of the program indicated an increase in the number of visitors to Danau Buatan, which also contributed to supporting local MSMEs. This program highlights the important role of university students in making tangible contributions to improving the quality of public spaces and community comfort. The revitalization activity also serves as a form of student community service that provides benefits to the community while supporting economic activities among MSMEs surrounding the Danau Buatan area.
