Abstract

Background: MSMEs in Gresik Regency, particularly members of the Gresik Business Pioneer Community (KPUG), face challenges due to the continued use of manual financial records and non-environmentally friendly packaging, which limit access to financing and contribute to increased plastic waste. Objective: This community service initiative aimed to enhance the managerial capacity of MSMEs through financial digitalization and to promote the use of eco-friendly packaging as part of a green marketing strategy toward a smart and sustainable city. Method: The program was implemented in five stages: (1) socialization to raise awareness, (2) technical training based on partner needs, (3) application of technology through the use of automatic cash registers and biodegradable packaging, (4) continuous mentoring, and (5) evaluation using pre-tests, post-tests, and satisfaction surveys. Results: The program significantly improved participants’ competencies in digital financial management and the adoption of eco-friendly packaging. The average post-test score was 94, with all participants scoring above 80. Participant satisfaction averaged 4 out of 5. Conclusion: The activity effectively strengthened MSMEs’ managerial and marketing capacities, enhanced their access to financing opportunities, and supported circular economy practices aligned with environmental sustainability.

Abstract

Background: Used cooking oil (UCO) is a domestic waste that increases in volume along with high consumption of cooking oil in Indonesia and has the potential to harm human health and the environment if not managed properly. Objective: Management of cooking oil waste into aromatherapy candles as an environmental education and a community economic empowerment was designed based on the circular economy. Method: An approach with participatory action research (PAR) paradigm, which used stages of preparation, outreach, training, product processing, then evaluation and mentoring to reach active community participation in the form of creative economic development. Results: The technical knowledge of the participants increased by 26 percentage points, and their confidence increased by 34 percentage points. Activated charcoal was effective for the reduction of rancid odors, and the essential oils improved the functional and economic value of the product. The candles produced showed steady burning behaviours and an acceptable quality of the end product for home production. Conclusion: The processing of WCO into aromatherapy candles would be an effective way to reduce environmental pollution in tandem with enhancing community empowerment and bolstering the emergence of micro-scale enterprises around waste utilizations.

Abstract

Background: People living in wetland areas often face many diseases caused by poor sanitation, unhealthy diets, and low physical activity. These problems are connected to low health literacy, which makes it harder for people to find, understand, and implement Clean and Healthy Living Behaviour (CHLB) in their daily routines. Improving health literacy is important for helping people make better choices and support behavior change. Objective: This study aims to improve health literacy related to CHLB as an environmentally based disease prevention strategy in wetland communities. Method: A pre-experimental one-group pretest–post-test design was used to assess 32 participants, including participatory health education through presentations, videos, posters, and leaflets, as well as health check-ups. Knowledge was measured using structured questionnaires, and data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: The average knowledge score rose from 79.37 to 91.87 (p < 0.001). Most participants had normal blood glucose levels, but hypertension remained common at 65.523%. Conclusion: The intervention improved health literacy about CHLB and supports its use as a primary strategy to prevent environmentally related diseases in wetland communities.
