Public services are expected to be able to provide optimal, proper, and excellent services to the community in carrying them out.

Abstract

Stone Park is one of the tourist destinations located in Turunan, Girisuko, Panggang, Gunungkidul. The Stone Park tourist destination is currently not widely visited by tourists because it only offers sunrise spot facilities, photo spots, gazebos, and camping areas that have been widely offered by other tourist destinations. To support Sustainable Tourism which can have a long-term impact on the environment, social, culture, and economy, it is necessary to develop attraction spots. The aerosport attraction spot is one of the attraction spots that is quite popular with the public. To provide understanding and skills, training has been held on making and flying the Out Hand Launch Glider (OHLG) Aircraft which was attended by 21 participants consisting of Stone Park tourist destination managers and the surrounding community. The participants were able to understand the need for the development of aerospace attraction spots and succeeded in making and flying the OHLG aircraft.

Abstract

The Merdeka Curriculum has been implemented in most schools in Indonesia, from PAUD to SMA. One form of assessment in this curriculum is the Computer-Based National Assessment (ANBK), which includes various types of assessments, including the Minimum Competency Assessment (AKM), learning environment surveys, and character surveys. In AKM, students are expected to master literacy and numeracy skills through questions with relatively long texts, which often make it difficult for many students to understand and solve the questions satisfactorily. As a solution, it is important for schools to intensively introduce the types of AKM questions to students and get them used to, both independently and in groups, solving numeracy literacy-based questions using interactive e-books. This community service program was carried out for one day at SDN Paninggaran Darma, Kuningan Regency, and focused on introducing AKM questions based on numeracy literacy. During the activity, grade 5 students showed that they were not familiar with the questions, so they still faced difficulties in solving the problems. The evaluation was conducted by asking students to complete 5 AKM questions based on numeracy literacy directly in class. The conclusion is that students already have an understanding of various types of Minimum Competency Assessment questions based on numeracy literacy and show an increase in their ability to solve questions in the moderate category. To improve students' numeracy literacy skills, routine efforts need to be made to introduce these questions during the daily learning process, so that they can better apply these skills in their daily lives. Suggestion: Students already understand various types of Minimum Competency Assessment questions that focus on numeracy literacy and show an increase in their ability to solve questions with a moderate level of difficulty. In order for students' numeracy literacy skills to continue to develop and be applied in their daily lives, it is important to continue

Abstract

Cimara Village, Cibeureum District, Kuningan Regency, faces the problem of critical land which is at risk of environmental degradation due to erosion and reduced natural vegetation. This condition threatens soil fertility and reduces ecosystem function in maintaining environmental balance. One step that can be taken to restore this condition is land rehabilitation using local plants such as kiara karasak (Ficus kurzii King), which has high adaptability to the local environment and plays an important role in preventing soil erosion. The aim of this service is to provide training to the community regarding techniques for making Kiara Karasak stem cuttings, which is expected to support sustainable land rehabilitation programs. Methods for carrying out activities include introducing kiara karasak plants, training in selecting healthy stems suitable for cuttings, correct cutting techniques, use of root-stimulating hormones, as well as sowing and caring for seedlings so that they grow optimally. The approach used is participatory with direct practice in the field, so that participants can apply each stage independently. In this training, participants are also trained in caring for seedlings until they are ready to be moved to rehabilitation land. The results of the service showed that participants experienced a significant increase in their understanding and technical skills in making cuttings. They feel better prepared to produce Kiara Karasak seeds independently and contribute to land rehabilitation in Cimara Village. This activity is expected to have a long-term positive impact on improving environmental quality and increasing public awareness in maintaining the sustainability of the local ecosystem

Abstract

Immunization is crucial for protecting individuals from vaccine-preventable diseases, but pain during and after vaccination can lead to fear and anxiety in children, causing them to refuse subsequent vaccinations. This study aimed to address the lack of knowledge among parents regarding non-pharmacological pain management techniques, specifically healing touch (HT), through a community empowerment partnership (PKM) program. The PKM was conducted as a socialization event for posyandu cadres at the Waihoka Community Health Center on October 30, 2024. Participants completed a pre-test questionnaire, attended a presentation on HT for post-immunization pain management, engaged in a question-and-answer session, and completed a post-test questionnaire. The results showed that before the socialization, most cadres had poor knowledge of non-pharmacological therapies and HT. However, after the event, their knowledge significantly improved, with the majority demonstrating very good understanding. The study concludes that the socialization effectively enhanced the posyandu cadres' knowledge of HT as a non-pharmacological therapy for post-immunization pain management. The authors recommend that the Ambon City Health Office, through the Community Health Center, conduct similar socialization events for parents through posyandu cadres to promote the use of HT in reducing post-immunization pain and anxiety in children.

Abstract

Adolescents are known to be more vulnerable to mental health issues due to the emotional upheaval that characterizes the transition from childhood to adulthood. Globally, 1 in 7 adolescents experiences emotional mental health problems, mainly anxiety and depression. The Indonesia National Adolescence Mental Health Survey (I-NAHMS) reports that one in three Indonesian adolescents faces mental health issues, and one in twenty suffers from mental disorders. Early screening and intervention are crucial due to the high risk and significant impact of these problems. Raising awareness among the community, especially within schools, about adolescent emotional mental health is essential. This activity uses the Health Promotion Model, targeting three guidance counseling teachers and 61 peer counselors from grades X and XI at a public high school in South Jakarta. Training showed improvements in understanding and knowledge of guidance-counceling’ teachers and peer counselors (p=0.00), and in conducting assessments using the e-SDQ instrument for screening and psychological first aid. This enables early intervention for adolescents’ emotional mental issues before referral to the PKPR clinic at the community health center.

Abstract

This community service program is expected to optimize digital marketing for flagship products of women-led MSMEs in Geresik Village, Ciawigebang District, Kuningan Regency. The limited understanding of the participants about digital marketing hinders them from increasing their market share and competitiveness in a wider environment. The approach employed was in the form of hands-on mentorship, gifting participants the knowledge and acumen to wield digital tools like social media, online marketplaces, and content creation techniques. The study shows that respondents’ ability to digitally market their products has increased because of the support provided, where more visibility attracts customers and can lead to sales. Some other outcomes or results of the program were collaboration among the MSME sector and the adoption of sustainability in marketing practice. The recommendations go to the sustainability of the program through: establishing a digital community of MSMEs, continuous training, and solidifying ties with government and private stakeholders. This initiative thus illustrates the potential impact of digital marketing for empowering rural MSMEs in support of economic development at the local level.
