Abstract

The role of vocational high schools in producing reliable workforce is highly expected. Gadgets are one of the tools used by vocational high school students in their daily lives. Gadgets can help in the learning process. However, there are indications that students tend to overuse gadgets. This overuse has caused problems, for example, in their social relationship. Efforts to reduce the use of gadgets are therefore needed so that the students are able to improve their skills in building a social relationship. This community service activity was intended to reduce the urge to use gadgets by students in their daily lives. The activity was divided into two parts. The first part included discussion with the principal and a teacher and the second part discussion with students. The participants of the activity were the school principal, a teacher, and 36 students of the vocational high school in Belitung. Interactive group discussions were used as the method in this program. In addition, a questionnaire was used to obtain a description of students’ experiences and their opinions about the time of using gadgets. The activity resulted in the decision made by the principal and the teacher to implement a plan to reduce the urge of using gadgets by students while at school. Students also tended to agree on reducing the urge to use gadgets. However, the maximum duration of time per day for students to be able to use gadgets still needed further discussion, because students inclined to disagree with the limit of three hours per day. From this activity it was concluded that the interactive discussions among researcher, principal, teacher, and students could reduce the urge to use gadgets by students while at school.

Abstract

Decent Work and Economic Growth represent one of the goals of Sustainable Development Goals. The Government of Indonesia through the National Secretariat for Sustainable Development Goals has continued to launch national actions by building multi-stakeholder partnerships to encourage the achievement of these goals. Citi Indonesia, together with Indonesia Business Links, initiated a youth development and empowerment program in the area of Bekasi City, Bekasi Regency, Karawang Regency, Purwakarta Regency, and Bandung Regency. The collaboration was a Citi Indonesia Corporate Social Responsibility activity focusing on capacity building, opening job opportunities, encouraging entrepreneurship, and creating a conducive environment. Increased competence in human resources is needed especially in the current 4.0 industrial revolution era. The shift of human labour into machines with automation and the digital economy requires workers who have the intermediate ability. This happens because much low-skilled human labour has been replaced by machines. The program aimed to prepare young people to be ready to work and ready for entrepreneurship. This program was designed as a series of activities with implementation methods in the form of focus group discussions, outreach, in-class training, seminars, counselling, and field practice. The results showed an increase in the knowledge and skills of the training participants so that it is hoped they will have a greater opportunity to be employed or to become entrepreneurs.

Abstract

The Palakahembi Village is one of the villages whose main commodity is rice plants. The present community-service activities were implemented in Palakahembi Village, East Sumba Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province. This activity targeted the farmer groups of Ndula Kita and Marangga Panamung. It aimed to provide the farmers with knowledge about pest control and how to control the rice bugs with biopesticide and fitfall trap. The activities we carried out included workshops and mentoring practices for making fitfall trap, making biopesticide, and application of biopesticide on rice in the field. The farmers were provided with knowledge about pest control by making them conduct a direct survey of rice plants that were attacked in the field, followed by the practice of making fitfall trap and making biopesticide and their application to rice plants. The results showed that the farmers were able to understand the morphology and the symptoms of the rice bug attack, as well as the techniques of making the biopesticide along with the application of the biopesticide in the rice plant. Besides, the application of biopesticide at a concentration of 1/5 L (1 litre of biopesticide/5 litres of water) in rice plants also resulted in lower attack rates as much as 80% and higher productivity (6,2 tons/ha) compared to the control group.

Abstract

This community-empowerment activity was conducted in Blender Village, a cattle rancher village. The community makes a living from raising cattle and selling cow milk. The cow milk is only sold in the surrounding area, and therefore is insufficient to sustain the livelihood of the villagers who are low in economic status. The aim of this community-empowerment activity in the production process of Kefir Milk Soap in the Blender Women's Livestock Group (WLG) was to help the Blender village community able to produce kefir soap, which can later give them additional income. Kefir soap is a kind of soap made from high-quality pure cow milk that is fermented beforehand in its process. Fermentation is done by mixing the milk with kefir seeds and leave it alone for 2-4 days until two parts of viscosity separation of fermented milk are formed. The thick part is selected and mixed with other ingredients (using the hot heating/cooking) method or cold method). Next, it is put into soap moulds and is left for 1-2 weeks before being used. The community-empowerment activity helped the WLG in producing kefir soap and it is hoped that they can train other residents. By being able to make kefir soap, it is hoped that the residents of Blender Village can have additional income and improve their livelihood.

Abstract

Everyone should have the same opportunity to access law and justice. Legal aid is a kind of legal service provided by legal aid providers free of charge to legal aid recipients. This free legal aid is very helpful for those who are affected by legal problems, especially for the poor. This is because many poor people are confronted with legal problems, including the Tanjungsari people who are not aware of the availability of free legal aid. To help underprivileged members of society aware of this free legal aid, it is necessary to have community service aimed at making people understand the benefits of free legal assistance provided by the Government. The method used was an interactive group discussion. As supporting data, the questionnaire was also administered to obtain an overview of the experiences and opinions of citizens related to citizens' understanding of the material and training. The results of the activities in this legal aid assistance showed that the residents felt the benefits of helping them resolve their cases and knowing how to protect their legal rights. It was concluded that such counselling was needed by the residents of Tanjungsari since it received a positive response from the residents who attended the session.

Abstract

Generation Y or millennial generation was born in the 1980s to 2000s and therefore students of Pembangunan Jaya 2 Sidoarjo Senior High School belong to this millennial generation. At school, these millennial students only practice making finished goods without any training on entrepreneurship, which includes managerial skills, entrepreneurial management, and technopreneurship. The skills they have been learning so far have only been production-oriented, rather than entrepreneurial management-oriented. Therefore, the aim of this activity was to provide sustainable entrepreneurial skills (managerial and technopreneurship) to students of Pembangunan Jaya 2 Sidoarjo Senior High School. The method of activity included both theory and practice regarding managerial skills in entrepreneurial management, which covers (1) planning, (2) organizing, (3) implementing, (4) controlling, (5) evaluating, (6) motivating and technopreneurship skills as a synergy process from a strong ability in the mastery of technology as well as a comprehensive understanding of the concept of entrepreneurship. The results of the activity show that managerial skills and understanding of technopreneurship in the process and formation of new businesses that involve technology as a basis can create appropriate strategies and innovations in pursuing entrepreneurship. In the long term, it is expected that managerial skills and understanding of technopreneurship will become one of the factors for national economic development.

Abstract

Waste disposal and clean water management are some of the common social issues arising in densely populated settlements, including Muara Baru flats, Jakarta. Some programs have been carried out to overcome these two issues in Muara Baru, such as the construction of a Rain Water Harvesting (RWH) facility and the provision of Trash Banks. Nevertheless, adequate support for the residents is still needed to boost their awareness of proper clean water management and waste disposal and to encourage the formation of urban agriculture, which is expected to elevate their living standards. Therefore, a community empowerment program in Muara Baru was developed, consisting of three sections: education on clean water management, compost making training, and urban farming. The success of this program was then measured using questionnaires and focus group discussions. A majority of residents responded positively to the program and were willing to actively participate by preparing the land, making compost, planting seeds, or caring for the harvest. There were indeed some obstacles hampering the program's success, such as lack of commitment from the local community, climate change, water availability, and arable land availability. To overcome these barriers and to promote the program’s sustainability, some suggestions are to be proposed, including proper selections of plant types and provision of support and motivation for the local community.
