Abstract

The implementation of outreach activities to the community is motivated by low public awareness of environmental cleanliness. Awareness in waste management, especially household waste, still needs to be increased. Lopang urban village, especially Taman Lopang Indah neighbourhood 11, is an area that faces problems in managing household waste. The lack of concern among residents in managing waste and the absence of final disposal sites have resulted in waste not being properly organized and often scattered around. This outreach activity aims to increase public awareness in neighbourhood 11 Lopang urban village regarding the importance of managing household waste by applying the 3R principle (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). The lack of public understanding of the 3R concept is caused by a lack of support and involvement from both the community and government in facilitating waste management. This problem is the main focus that needs to be resolved through outreach activities aimed at providing an understanding of the 3R concept and its implementation in everyday life. In this way, it is hoped that waste management habits will be formed which can contribute to improving the culture of waste management in the community. This activity was carried out at the Al-Fath Mosque, neighbourhood 11, Lopang urban village. After attending education regarding waste management, the public understands better the importance of waste management and sorting. In fact, the community is starting to plan to establish a waste bank as a concrete step in improving waste management in the area.

Abstract

User interface (UI) and user experience (UX) design play an important role in digital application development. However, Vocational High School (SMK) students often experience limitations in learning these skills due to minimal access to relevant training. This study aims to explore the use of the Figma application in improving the creativity of SMK Engineering students, especially in making presentations and UI/UX design. The implementation method of the activity includes an introduction to the basic concepts of UI/UX, training in the use of Figma features, and the application of the Design Thinking approach in the learning process. The results of the training showed a significant increase in the understanding of UI/UX concepts by 75%, the ability to use basic Figma features by 80%, and an increase in student creativity by 70%. In addition, Figma's real-time collaboration feature has been shown to support more dynamic interactions and accelerate the design process. Based on these findings, it is concluded that the integration of Figma in learning can effectively improve students' digital skills and creativity. It is recommended that Figma be included in the SMK curriculum to support students' readiness to face the needs of the digital creative industry.

Abstract

Skabies merupakan salah satu penyakit tropis terabaikan atau Neglected Tropical Disease (NTD) yang disebabkan oleh infeksi Sarcoptes scabiei. Scabies biasanya ditularkan dari orang ke orang melalui kontak kulit yang dekat (misalnya tinggal di tempat tinggal yang sama) dengan individu yang terinfeksi. Penularan juga dapat terjadi karena berkontak dengan barang-barang pribadi (misalnya pakaian dan seprai) sehingga kebersihan pribadi atau personal hygiene yang buruk menjadi pemicu penularan skabies. Frekuensi penyakit kulit lebih besar pada masyarakat dengan tingkat ekonomi yang cenderung rendah dan bertempat tinggal ditempat yang padat penduduk yang berpeluang untuk kontak kulit ke kulit lebih mudah dan sering. Kegiatan ini menjadi bentuk pengabdian teradap masyarakat yang memiliki tujuan untuk memberikan pengetahuan kepada masyarakat sekitar mengenai skabies. Upaya edukatif dilakukan di Puskesmas Rumah Tiga dengan terget peserta semua pengunjung yang hadir. Antusiasme dari partisipan menunjukkan rasa ingin tahu yang besar terhadap skabies. Kegiatan promotif melalui sosialisasi dibutuhkan secara kontinu dan meluas dibutuhkan untuk membuka wawasan masyarakat mengenai skabies sehingga dapat membantu meningkatkan kualitas hidup penderita.

Abstract

This community service initiative was driven by the need to strengthen the capacity of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in three villages in Kuningan Regency—Cipasung, Cageur, and Sukarasa—which produce local goods such as rengginang, saroja, and Lirabika coffee, but face significant limitations in production, marketing, and business legality. The objective of this program is to enhance the competitiveness of rural MSMEs through digital transformation and formal business registration. The implementation method involved field observations, in-depth interviews, and hands-on training with a participatory and community-based approach. Findings revealed that traditional production methods, word-of-mouth marketing, and lack of access to formal legality and digital tools were key barriers. In response, an integrated training model was developed covering digital marketing, business legalization facilitation, improved packaging design, and the provision of internet infrastructure and digital tools. The results showed an increase in participants’ knowledge and skills in utilizing digital platforms and completing legal registration processes. The implication of this activity suggests a strategic direction for developing rural economies through MSME empowerment aligned with digital trends, and it is recommended that this model be replicated in other rural areas with local adaptation.

Abstract

Students' understanding of three-dimensional geometric concepts at SD Ta’allumul Huda Bumiayu remains relatively low, primarily due to the limited availability of visual learning media. The purpose of this training activity is to introduce the use of Augmented Reality (AR) applications as an interactive learning tool. The program was implemented in three stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. In the preparation stage, a site survey and development of learning materials were conducted. During the implementation stage, the team presented geometry lessons using AR media to fifth-grade students. The evaluation stage involved data collection and analysis, conducted through observation, semi-structured interviews, and student perception questionnaires. The results indicated an increase in student engagement and understanding of spatial concepts. A total of 93% of students stated that the material was more engaging, while 87% reported improved comprehension of the elements and properties of geometric shapes. Teachers also found the AR media to be practical and aligned with learning objectives. These findings suggest that the use of AR technology serves as an innovative solution to enhance contextual learning quality in primary school mathematics education.

Abstract

One of the rice seed producers in Lebak Regency, Banten Province, is Poktan Motekar, which carries the mission of “Improving the quality and availability of rice seeds through independent and sustainable seed cultivation.” Poktan Motekar produces an average of 140 tons of unhusked rice (paddy)/ha/season. Approximately 134 tons are sold as milled rice at a price of IDR 7,000–8,000/kg. Meanwhile, around 5 tons are allocated for seed production and marketed through local and inter-community networks of Poktan at a price of IDR 12,000/kg, despite the fact that both demand and selling price for rice seeds are generally higher. This condition is mainly due to intense competition with seed producers from other regions. Therefore, efforts to empower farmers in Lebak Regency can be undertaken by enhancing the capacity and quality of rice seed production among members of Poktan Motekar through improved knowledge and skills in cultivating newly released superior rice varieties (Varietas Unggul Baru/ VUB). Community empowerment was carried out using the innovation diffusion method, namely through the delivery of materials and interactive discussions regarding the VUB Mantap variety as an innovation to strengthen the capacity and quality of rice production. Pre-tests and post-tests were employed to measure changes in farmers’ knowledge levels about the VUB Mantap variety. The results of data analysis indicated a significant improvement in farmers’s knowledge regarding the VUB Mantap variety after participating in the innovation diffusion activity. This enhanced knowledge was expected to foster farmers’s interest in adopting the VUB Mantap variety to improve both the capacity and quality of their rice production.
