Abstract

There are various kinds of culture in Indonesia, especially the local culture. It's not surprising that many young and old people take part in maintaining local culture, one of which is Bantengan art. Bantengan art is widely known by people who love traditional culture. The traditional art of Bantengan comes from East Java, combining elements of ballet, kanuragan, music, and thick poetry or mantras with a magical feel. The game will be interesting if it enters the trance stage, namely the stage where the player holding the Bull's head becomes possessed by the spirit of the Bull's ancestors. The Kebo Putro Joyo Anom Bantengan Art Group is one of the many Bantengan art groups in Malang Regency. The preservation of traditional arts, such as Bantengan, is crucial for cultural heritage and community identity. However, the challenges of modern times, including rapid urbanization and globalization, threaten the continuity of these art forms. To address this issue, this research explores the potential of digital tools to promote and preserve Bantengan art within the Kebo Putro Joyo Anom art group in Malang District, East Java. By leveraging digital platforms and technologies, the study aims to create a more accessible and engaging experience for both artists and audiences, fostering a deeper appreciation for Bantengan art and ensuring its legacy for future generations.

Abstract

This study examines the organization of Dharma Wanita Persatuan (DWP) into a strategic platform for advancing gender equality and community empowerment in Indonesia. DWP, comprised of wives of civil servants and female professionals, plays a unique role in promoting women’s participation in the public sphere and leadership. The study focuses on DWP’s periodic development targets and assesses its progress in fostering gender-inclusive and responsive practices. A mixed methods approach is used, combining trend analysis, policy evaluation, and sentiment mapping to assess participation levels, leadership dynamics, and program effectiveness. The findings showed while DWP has initiated some progressive programmes, its hierarchical structure and mandatory membership continue to limit broader engagement. Leadership influence, communication gaps and traditional gender norms are identified as key barriers to transformation. However, there is growing potential to reposition DWP as an inclusive and forward-looking organisation by strengthening digital engagement, leadership training and feedback mechanisms. The study concludes that removing structural barriers and embracing innovation are essential for sustainable change. It offers practical recommendations for policymakers and academics seeking to reform similar gender-based institutions. Ultimately, this research contributes to the discourse on organizational development and gender equality.

Abstract

The aim of conducting this research was to determine the effect of strategy formulation, implementation and evaluation on the performance of small and medium enterprises. To carry out this study, the researcher have used a descriptive and explanatory research design to determine the relationship and effect of strategic management (strategy formulation, implementation, and evaluation) on performance. The study targeted 152 small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and from these 50 small and medium enterprises (SMEs) were determined as a sample but out of which 4 respondents did not return the questionnaire. Stratified probability sampling method was applied and data were collected from 46 SME managers through structured questionnaire using 5-point Likert scale.

Abstract

Tourism is an important aspect as part of the government's main focus. Based on the situation analysis, Malang Regency has the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park Area (TNBTS) which is the top seven national tourist destinations. Wringinanom Tourism Village (DEWI ANOM) is in Malang Regency, East Java, and is the entrance to the Bromo Tengger Semeru tourist route via Malang which has several tourism potentials including education, culture and adventure. Apart from offering natural beauty and economic potential in the form of agricultural horticultural products, Wringinanom Village offers educational, cultural and adventure tourism for tourists. However, this tourist village area still needs to be developed optimally by the Village Government, including strengthening the potential and promoting tourist villages. In this case, Human Resource awareness plays a very important role in tourism promotion activities. So, the main problem raised in this community service activity is related to the marketing aspect. Community service with the Binus Bangun Desa scheme aims to increase HR capacity in Destination Management and Optimizing Digital-based Tourism Product Marketing in the tourism awareness group, Wringinanom Village. The activities that will be carried out in this community service program will implement digital branding including visual indentity as an effort to digitize and optimize the Wringinanom

Abstract

Plastic waste has become one of the most urgent environmental challenges, particularly at the household level where waste management practices remain limited and underutilized. This community service project was carried out to empower PKK as Family Welfare Empowerment community groups from Kelurahan Gumuruh, Bandung, Indonesia, by integrating eco-branding strategies into sustainable plastic waste management. The main objective was to transform household plastic waste into value-added products that could strengthen community-based economic independence. The method applied was participatory action through design workshops in which 40 PKK participants were actively involved. They were guided by design lecturers and supported by students in generating ideas, developing concepts, and producing product prototypes. A total of 30 prototypes were successfully produced and curated, reflecting both functional and aesthetic qualities, as well as the principles of eco-branding. These products are planned to be exhibited and marketed through local bazaars, providing visibility and potential economic opportunities for the community. The results demonstrated that collaboration between PKK communities and academic facilitators significantly improved participants’ knowledge, creativity, and confidence in plastic waste management. In conclusion, this program highlighted the importance of community and academic partnerships in addressing environmental issues while simultaneously fostering local economic development.

The training involved 10 SME participants and covered fundamental digital marketing concepts, basic photography, and product photo-taking techniques. The evaluation results showed a significant improvement in participants’ understanding of the importance of product photography and their ability to produce professional-looking product photos. This initiative is expected to help SMEs enhance their competitiveness and sales effectively through digital marketing.

Abstract

Plastic waste has been and still is a pressing environmental concern in Indonesia, especially with single-use plastic bags that continue to cause river and ocean pollution. The city of Banjarmasin in Indonesia was the first to enact a policy banning single-use plastic bags in contemporary retail outlets. The purpose of this research was to understand how marketing on the Internet could further aid this environmental community project and promote positive changes in behavior. The research used qualitative methods and the case study and netnography approaches. Data were gathered from the local social media campaigns which included in-depth interviews with 40 respondents from different categories namely consumers, minimarket managers, influencers and policymakers, 4 focus group discussions, and interactions. Thematic analysis showed that while digital campaigns raised public awareness and knowledge of the problem, the absence of strong, habitual behavioral change was a huge challenge. The use of religious and cultural framing was effective in strengthening the message, especially when constricted by local micro-influencers with relatable community ties. People were able to use digital nudges installed in e-commerce checkout systems and point of sale systems in minimarkets to engage in easy behaviors like buying reusable bags. However, cost perceptions, habitual reliance on single-use plastics, and the digital divide among older generations were still major barriers. All things considered, the results underscored the need for integration of digital marketing with enforcement of policy as well as public outreach for effective impact. This study found that the policy framework for the environment can be supplemented with digital marketing focused at awareness raising, intention mobilization, and actual behavior change, and its use in community service projects is crucial for enduring sustainability.
