Abstract

The problem of waste, especially plastic, has become an urgent environmental issue due to its difficulty in decomposing and its negative impact on the ecosystem. The activity “Empowering the Banjar Indra Giri Community through the Use of Used Bottles as a Medium for Creative Economic Education in Sangiang Hamlet” was carried out to provide a solution to this problem while also improving the community's financial literacy. The main objectives of this activity were to foster awareness and skills in managing plastic waste into products of economic value and to instill the habit of saving from an early age through a creative approach. The methods used included participatory observation, direct demonstrations, and evaluation with pre-test and post-test instruments to measure changes in participants' knowledge, attitudes, and skills. The quantitative results show a significant increase in all aspects assessed. The average pre-test score of 59 indicates a relatively low level of initial understanding, while the average post-test score increased to 91, indicating an increase of 54%. In detail, the aspect of understanding the importance of saving increased from 56 to 88, knowledge of plastic waste management from 60 to 90, creativity in making recycled products from 58 to 92, and environmental awareness from 62 to 94. These results show that the training program not only improved participants' cognitive abilities, but also encouraged positive behavioral changes in environmental management and financial habits. Qualitatively, the activity of making piggy banks from used bottles became a fun and meaningful educational tool for children. They learned to save money, hone their creativity, and understand the economic and ecological value of recycling. This program has succeeded in fostering a younger generation that is more independent, thrifty, and environmentally conscious. Thus, this empowerment activity has proven to be an effective model for creative economy-based community development that integrates environmental education and financial literacy to support sustainable development.

Abstract

One of the impacts of population growth in a residential area is the problem of waste. If this problem is not immediately addressed, it will have a negative impact on residents around the settlement and the environment. This encourages collaboration from various parties, including universities and business actors of the Muara Abu Waste Bank to address this waste problem. This community service can be implemented by a team of lecturers from Nusa Cendana University with funding from the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology through BIMA. The objectives of this activity are first to provide education to residents of Oesapa Barat Village, especially around the Muara Abu coast, through waste bank management. The number of participants who attended this training was 50 residents, including waste bank customers. The second objective is to provide management training for the administrators of the Muara Abu Waste Bank (BSMA). The implementation of the activity consists of three stages: the preparation stage, the implementation stage, and the evaluation stage. The training material is the basics of waste bank management, including selection, sorting, packaging, and shipping. The following material introduces the management activities carried out during work, starting with customer deposits, sorting, weighing, storage, and bookkeeping of the waste bank account. For the waste bank administrators, the training focused on administrative systems and operational procedures. Educational activities also introduced creativity in recycled plastic waste products. The training, particularly for participants, resulted in increased knowledge of waste bank management. Before the training, only 38% of participants understood the material, whereas after the training this figure increased to 92%. Another impact was the rise in the number of BSMA customers, which grew from 39 to 68 by September 2025. This demonstrates the significant impact of this activity in raising public awareness of the benefits of waste banks.

Abstract

An understanding of mineral and rock science is a fundamental competency that is critically important for prospective workers in the mining sector, particularly in geology and exploration. However, the main challenge faced by vocational schools is the limited availability of laboratory facilities and learning methods that are still predominantly theory-oriented, resulting in very limited opportunities for students to conduct practical hands-on activities. This condition has the potential to hinder students’ mastery of practical skills in the long term. In response to this issue, lecturers and students from the Department of Mining Engineering at Hasanuddin University carried out a training program that included the delivery of basic material, tutorials on rock description, and mineral identification using 18 rock samples consisting of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. This community service activity was designed to enhance the conceptual understanding and practical skills of 25 students from the Mining Geology Department at SMK Negeri 5 Barru. The effectiveness of the training was evaluated through pre- and post-tests, which indicated an increase in the average score from 52 to 72 on a 100-point scale. As a follow-up, rock samples were handed over to the school to support sustainable learning. This training was proven to improve students’ readiness and practical competence as an important preparation for entering the workforce in the field of mining geology.

Abstract

This community service initiative was carried out to provide a practical solution to the problem of charging electric sprayers, a common challenge faced by farmers in Bone Regency. This region has abundant solar energy potential, yet it has not been optimally utilized to support agricultural activities. The program implements Solar Charge Stations (SCS) as an alternative source of clean energy that farmers can use independently without relying on the national power grid. Activities included education, training on SCS installation and assembly, and SCS maintenance. Pre-test results showed that the majority of participants did not understand the material related to solar charge stations (SCS), with the “do not understand” category reaching 80–92% across all indicators. Only 8–12% of participants fell into the “understand” category. After the training was conducted, post-test results showed a significant improvement, with all participants moving to the “understand” and “fully understand” categories. For the renewable energy utilization indicator, 68% of participants were in the “very well understand” category, while for the SCS assembly and operation indicators, 88% and 80% respectively were in the “understand” category. This indicates that the training was effective in improving participants’ knowledge and skills.
