Abstract

Financial literacy is a crucial foundation for improving financial well-being and achieving financial freedom. One aspect of financial literacy that has not yet been well-educated by the public is capital market literacy, which can be utilized as an investment alternative. Village officials are public servant, not all of whom have civil service status, and often face many difficulties in managing their finances. Therefore, knowledge and skills are needed to allocate their income more productively. This research is based on community service activities aimed at improving the financial literacy of village officials through an introduction to the capital market. The implementation method was carried out through socialization, training, and interactive discussions on understanding capital market mechanisms, recognizing types of investment instruments, understanding the benefits and risks of investment, and simple strategies for investing safely and sustainably. The results of the activity showed an increase in participants' knowledge and interest in utilizing capital market instruments as a means of long-term financial planning. This activity confirms that capital market literacy not only has the potential to help village officials achieve financial freedom but also encourages villagers to have a good understanding of investment and be competitive in today's modern era.

Abstract

Sendang Panguripan in Singosari Village holds significant historical, cultural, and ecological value for Sendang Panguripan in Singosari Village is a natural resource that has strategic historical, cultural, and ecological value for the local community, but its utilisation has not been optimal due to limited supporting facilities, poor sanitation, and a lack of collective awareness of environmental conservation. These conditions have resulted in a decline in the quality of the area and a low level of attraction of the spring as a tourist destination. This activity aims to optimise the arrangement of Sendang Panguripan facilities to improve its ecological, social, and economic functions in a sustainable manner. The methods used include field observations and documentation to identify the potential of the area, the existing conditions of the facilities, and the needs for tourism support development. The results of the activity show that the arrangement of basic infrastructure and supporting facilities, such as the provision of parking facilities, directional signs, sanitation facilities, as well as educational and safety elements, contribute positively to increasing visitor comfort and the image of the area. Through planned arrangement and supported by active community participation, Sendang Panguripan has the potential to be developed as a sustainable tourist destination that can strengthen the local economy while preserving the environment.

Abstract

The illegal distribution of narcotics has spread to rural areas. This poses a serious threat not only to the development of the younger generation in villages, but also to the conduciveness and homeostasis of values upheld by rural communities. Responding to growing concerns about this issue, academic intervention in the form of socialization and legal counseling related to the circulation and dangers of narcotics has become an urgent need. This became the basis for the implementation of community service activities with the topic "Strengthening Community Legal Resilience through Socialization of Narcotics Circulation Prevention". This activity took place in Penujak Village, Central Lombok Regency. In line with the topic, this activity aimed to construct community legal resilience as an intervention compatible with the character of the village community. The activity began with an initial mapping of the village community's understanding through Focus Group Discussions (FGD) and interviews. The results of this mapping were then used as material for the preparation of the socialization material. The activity was very well received by the Penujak Village community, most importantly because it provided the community with additional understanding regarding the illegal distribution of narcotics. The results of the mapping were then used as material for the preparation of outreach materials. This activity was very well received by the community of Penujak Village, most importantly because it increased the community's understanding of the illegal distribution of narcotics. The final evaluation results showed that the community finally understood various things, such as the reporting mechanism and important substances covered by various regulations related to narcotics in Indonesia.

Abstract

This community service activity was motivated by the potential of the PKK MSMEs of Tawangsari Village, Tembarak, with local products Wedhang Jahe, which faced obstacles in business legality, product innovation, digital marketing, and non-cash payments. The main objective is to increase the competitiveness of MSMEs through digitalization and strengthening business legality, with a focus on training on NIB (Business Identification Number), QRIS, packaging innovation, and digital marketing strategies. Although the socialization and training were successful in increasing partners' understanding of digitalization and legality, the full implementation of the main agenda (NIB, QRIS, e-commerce) has not been realized due to the limited authority of the production division that is the partner. However, the high enthusiasm of partners shows positive prospects, concluding that strengthening MSMEs through product innovation and digital adaptation is a strategic step for village economic independence.

Abstract

This Community Service Activity aims to increase participants' understanding of the positive impact of organic matter on ecological balance and its application in sustainable agriculture. The workshop was carried out with a participatory education method involving 36 participants from six districts in West Java, through material presentations, interactive discussions, and simple demonstrations. Evaluation is carried out without a pretest and posttest, but through observation, interaction, and evaluation sheets with the categories of understanding level "very understanding", "understanding", and "not understanding". The results of the activity showed that 80% of the participants were in the category of very understanding, 15% in the category of understanding, and 5% in the category of not understanding. These findings indicate that the participatory workshop approach is effective in improving ecological literacy and participants' conceptual understanding of the importance of organic matter in maintaining soil and ecosystem health. This PKM has a positive impact in supporting the implementation of sustainable agricultural practices, as well as becoming an educational model that can be replicated in other regions with similar ecological problems.
