Abstract

Langsa City, a significant palm oil producer in Aceh Province, generates approximately 724,185 tons of waste annually, with empty fruit bunches (EFB) being the primary type of waste. This significant amount of by-side product coexists with a persistent regional poverty rate (10.23%), creating a critical challenge but also a unique opportunity. This article addresses the issue of unexploited economic potential and unemployment by examining the potential of EFB waste as a valuable resource for community empowerment. The initiative applied the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) model through a community service program titled “The Langsa Local Community Mushroom Project.” The method involved three key stages: 1) an initial survey to assess community needs, 2) stakeholder socialization to build commitment, and 3) a comprehensive workshop for 40 participants. The workshop provided theoretical and practical training in cultivating mushrooms using EFB as the primary growth medium, utilizing a local waste asset directly. The program yielded significant outcomes. Pre- and post-test assessments revealed a dramatic 37-point increase in participant knowledge, with average scores rising from 45% to 82%. This research demonstrated a successful transfer of skills. Furthermore, the project yielded tangible results, including a functioning community mushroom cultivation site, and fostered a clear behavioral change. Hence, the initiative confirms that the ABCD model is highly effective in transforming a local waste problem into an economic opportunity.[Kota Langsa, sebagai penghasil kelapa sawit utama di Provinsi Aceh, menghasilkan limbah sekitar 724.185 ton per tahun, dengan Tandan Kosong Kelapa Sawit (TKKS) sebagai limbah utama. Kelimpahan produk sampingan ini beriringan dengan tingginya angka kemiskinan daerah (10,23%), yang menciptakan tantangan kritis sekaligus peluang unik. Artikel ini membahas masalah potensi ekonomi yang belum dimanfaatkan dan pengangguran dengan mengeksplorasi penggunaan alternatif limbah TKKS menjadi sumber daya berharga untuk pemberdayaan masyarakat. Inisiatif ini menerapkan model Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) melalui program pengabdian masyarakat berjudul “Projek Jamur untuk Komunitas Lokal Langsa.” Metode yang dilakukan melibatkan tiga tahap utama: 1) survei awal untuk menilai kebutuhan masyarakat, 2) sosialisasi kepada pemangku kepentingan untuk membangun komitmen, dan 3) workshop komprehensif bagi 40 peserta. Workshop ini memberikan pelatihan teoritis dan praktik mengenai budi daya jamur dengan menggunakan TKKS sebagai media tumbuh utama, yang secara langsung memanfaatkan aset limbah lokal. Program ini menghasilkan luaran yang signifikan. Hasil pre-test dan post-test menunjukkan peningkatan pengetahuan peserta yang signifikan sebesar 37 poin, dengan nilai rata-rata yang naik dari 45% menjadi 82%. Hal ini menunjukkan keberhasilan diadopsinya keterampilan yang baru. Lebih lanjut, proyek ini menghasilkan luaran berupa lokasi budi daya jamur komunitas yang berfungsi dan mendorong perubahan perilaku yang nyata. Dengan demikian, program ini menegaskan bahwa model ABCD sangat efektif dalam mengubah masalah limbah lokal menjadi peluang ekonomi.]

Abstract

This Community Service Program aims to empower the Deo Gratias Catholic Writers Community (KPKDG) in Malang through assistance in creating Smart Psychospiritual based on Digital Edutainment. This activity is motivated by the increasing mental health problems among teenagers and the community's low ability to integrate spiritual literacy with digital technology. The implementation method includes six stages of assistance, namely training in psychospiritual writing, training in edutainment-based teaching techniques, social media creation and optimization, as well as training in psychospiritual content creation and edutainment-based training content. All activities are carried out collaboratively among lecturers, students, and community members, employing a participatory and reflective approach. The results of the activities showed a significant increase in the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of community members. KPKDG successfully mastered psychospiritual writing techniques, created active social media accounts (Instagram and TikTok), and produced ten digital spiritual content pieces that showcased the values of faith, hope, and inner healing. This program fosters a new awareness that spiritual literacy can be a means of social therapy and a medium for spreading faith in the digital age. The program not only enhances community capacity but also establishes a model of faith- and technology-based empowerment to strengthen the mental health of young people and foster an adaptive spiritual culture amid the challenges of digitalization. [Berdasarkan Kongres Asosiasi Perguruan Tinggi Katolik tahun 2024, kesehatan mental merupakan isu termutakhir yang harus ditanggulangi. Minimnya konten Rohani Katolik yang menunjukkan kepedulian terhadap kesehatan mental, menjadi permasalahan yang harus diselesaikan. Program Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat ini bertujuan memberdayakan Komunitas Penulis Katolik Deo Gratias (KPKDG) Malang melalui pendampingan pembuatan Smart Psychospiritual berbasis Edutainment Digital. Kegiatan ini dilatarbelakangi oleh meningkatnya permasalahan kesehatan mental remaja dan rendahnya kemampuan komunitas dalam mengintegrasikan literasi rohani dengan teknologi digital. Metode pelaksanaan meliputi enam tahap pendampingan, yaitu pelatihan menulis psikospiritualitas, pelatihan teknik mengajar berbasis edutainment, pembuatan dan optimalisasi media sosial, serta pelatihan pembuatan konten psikospiritual dan pelatihan konten pelatihan berbasis edutainment. Seluruh kegiatan dilakukan secara kolaboratif antara dosen, mahasiswa, dan anggota komunitas dengan pendekatan partisipatif dan reflektif. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan pada aspek pengetahuan, keterampilan, dan sikap anggota komunitas. KPKDG berhasil menguasai teknik menulis psikospiritual, memiliki akun media sosial aktif (Instagram dan Tiktok), serta memproduksi sepuluh konten digital rohani yang menampilkan nilai-nilai iman, harapan, dan penyembuhan batin. Program ini menumbuhkan kesadaran baru bahwa literasi rohani dapat menjadi sarana terapi sosial dan media pewartaan iman di era digital. Program ini tidak hanya meningkatkan kapasitas komunitas, tetapi juga melahirkan model pemberdayaan berbasis iman dan teknologi untuk memperkuat kesehatan mental remaja dan membangun budaya spiritual yang adaptif di tengah tantangan digitalisasi.]

Abstract

This study examines the historical, socio-economic, and psychological impacts of the violent conflicts that affected the Wukari communities within Taraba State. It explores the socio-economic effects of prolonged instability, social dislocation, and impoverishment, as well as the psychosocial trauma inflicted on communities. Additionally, it examines the strategies employed by socio-economically traumatized persons and communities to recover, rebuild, and transform their conflicts, thereby reclaiming their agency. The study aimed to investigate the socio-economic effects of crises, the media's influence on the recuperation phenomenon, remedial community engagement, and the contribution of community empowerment approaches to poverty alleviation and the intertwined processes of sustainable peace and social development. The researcher employed a qualitative method, utilizing in-depth interviews with forty respondents, comprising teachers, farmers, displaced persons, women, and youth who have all survived socio-occupational crises. The poverty, devastation of agricultural land, and destruction of social capital that resulted from the crises fostered social disintegration, mistrust, and resource-embedded displacement. While the national media provided only occasional coverage, local digital media played a crucial role in advancing self-help initiatives during the socio-occupational crises, as well as facilitating local social cooperation. Community resilience was demonstrated through grassroots women's cooperatives, faith-based relief efforts, and small-scale empowerment initiatives; however, the lack of state support remained a significant obstacle. This study, informed by the Social Capital Theory, posits that the restoration of the trust, networks, and cooperation dimensions of social capital is essential for sustainable recovery and must accompany the restoration of livelihoods in the Wukari Local Government Area (LGA), Taraba State. Wukari recovery, as a key conclusion of this study, should be less focused on physical reconstruction and more on bridging the recovery of empowerment and social cohesion. Therefore, this study argues that Wukari (LGA) post-conflict, the strategic recovery empowerment and resilience mechanisms, should be centered on the recovery consolidation of trust-building, empowerment, active media and social media advocacy, the implementation of the peace committee reports, operationalised with strategic public-private partnerships for the reconstruction of sustainable infrastructure, and inform the post-conflict reconstruction.[Studi ini meneliti dampak historis, sosial ekonomi, dan psikologis dari konflik kekerasan yang melanda komunitas Wukari di Negara Bagian Taraba. Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi dampak sosial ekonomi dari ketidakstabilan yang berkepanjangan, ketercerabutan sosial, dan kemiskinan; trauma psikososial yang diderita masyarakat; serta strategi yang digunakan individu dan komunitas yang mengalami trauma sosial ekonomi untuk pulih, membangun kembali, dan mentransformasikan konflik mereka guna merebut kembali kendali atas kehidupan mereka. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menyelidiki dampak sosial ekonomi dari krisis, pengaruh media terhadap proses pemulihan, bentuk keterlibatan komunitas yang bersifat pemulihan, serta kontribusi pendekatan pemberdayaan masyarakat terhadap pengentasan kemiskinan dan keterkaitan antara perdamaian berkelanjutan serta pembangunan sosial. Peneliti menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan wawancara mendalam terhadap empat puluh responden, yang terdiri atas guru, petani, pengungsi, perempuan, dan pemuda yang semuanya merupakan penyintas krisis sosial-occupational. Kemiskinan, kerusakan lahan pertanian, dan hancurnya modal sosial akibat krisis tersebut menimbulkan disintegrasi sosial, ketidakpercayaan, dan perpindahan penduduk yang berakar pada sumber daya. Sementara media nasional hanya memberikan liputan sesekali, media digital lokal memainkan peran penting dalam mendorong inisiatif swadaya selama krisis sosial-ekonomi serta memfasilitasi kerja sama sosial di tingkat lokal. Ketahanan masyarakat ditunjukkan melalui koperasi perempuan akar rumput, upaya bantuan berbasis keagamaan, dan inisiatif pemberdayaan berskala kecil; namun, kurangnya dukungan pemerintah tetap menjadi hambatan besar. Studi ini, yang berlandaskan pada Teori Modal Sosial, berpendapat bahwa pemulihan dimensi kepercayaan, jaringan, dan kerja sama dalam modal sosial merupakan hal yang penting bagi pemulihan berkelanjutan dan harus berjalan seiring dengan pemulihan mata pencaharian di Wilayah Pemerintahan Lokal (LGA) Wukari, Negara Bagian Taraba. Kesimpulan utama dari penelitian ini adalah bahwa pemulihan Wukari seharusnya tidak semata-mata berfokus pada rekonstruksi fisik, melainkan lebih diarahkan pada pemulihan pemberdayaan dan kohesi sosial. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa pasca-konflik di Wukari (LGA), mekanisme pemberdayaan dan ketahanan strategis untuk pemulihan harus berpusat pada konsolidasi kepercayaan, pemberdayaan, advokasi melalui media dan media sosial, pelaksanaan laporan komite perdamaian, serta dioperasionalkan melalui kemitraan strategis antara sektor publik dan swasta untuk rekonstruksi infrastruktur berkelanjutan dan perencanaan pembangunan pascakonflik].

Abstract

Based on field observation data, 62.96% of the coastal community of Tendas tend to engage in nikah siri (unregistered marriage) due to low awareness of administrative legal requirements. This community service program aims to carry out legal restoration to reduce the negative impacts of nikah siri, while ensuring legal protection and administrative rights for 17 women involved in unregistered marriages and their children. Using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, this program emphasizes the active participation of the Tendas coastal community in addressing issues related to nikah siri. The program's results reveal three main findings. First, the Tendas coastal community is a relatively isolated community that tends to practice nikah siri due to limited understanding of the risks of unregistered marriage, low educational attainment, weak economic conditions, early marriage practices, and conservative and stubborn attitudes. Second, the community service actions were implemented through focus group discussions (FGDs), training on low-cost marriage registration procedures, the establishment of the Sakinah Mawaddah wa Rahmah (SAMAWA) Family Post, and assistance with the isbat nikah (marriage legalization) process. Third, the legal restoration outcomes in the Tendas community encouraged the legalization of unregistered marriages through isbat nikah, enhanced community legal education, and strengthened the roles of traditional and religious leaders in promoting official marriage registration. Overall, this community service program successfully increased legal awareness among the Tendas coastal community and expanded access to administrative protection through legally registered marriages.[Berdasarkan data observasi lapangan, 62,96% masyarakat pesisir Tendas cenderung melakukan pernikahan siri karena rendahnya kesadaran terhadap hukum administrasi. Pengabdian ini bertujuan melakukan restorasi hukum untuk mengurangi dampak negatif pernikahan siri, sekaligus menjamin perlindungan hukum dan hak administratif bagi 17 perempuan pelaku nikah siri serta anak-anak mereka. Dengan pendekatan Participatory Action Research (PAR), pengabdian ini menekankan partisipasi aktif masyarakat pesisir Tendas dalam menyelesaikan permasalahan nikah siri. Hasil pengabdian menunjukkan tiga temuan utama. Pertama, masyarakat pesisir Tendas merupakan komunitas yang relatif terisolasi dan cenderung melakukan nikah siri akibat kurangnya pemahaman terhadap risiko perkawinan siri, rendahnya tingkat pendidikan, lemahnya kondisi ekonomi, praktik pernikahan dini, serta sikap kolot dan keras kepala. Kedua, aksi pengabdian dilakukan melalui kegiatan focus group discussion (FGD), pelatihan prosedur pencatatan pernikahan berbiaya minimal, pembentukan Posko Keluarga Sakinah Mawaddah wa Rahmah (SAMAWA), serta pendampingan proses isbat nikah. Ketiga, hasil restorasi hukum pernikahan siri di masyarakat Tendas mendorong legalisasi pernikahan melalui isbat nikah, meningkatkan edukasi hukum masyarakat, serta memperkuat peran tokoh adat dan tokoh agama dalam mendorong pencatatan pernikahan secara resmi. Secara keseluruhan, pengabdian ini berhasil meningkatkan kesadaran hukum masyarakat pesisir Tendas serta membuka akses yang lebih luas terhadap perlindungan administratif melalui pencatatan pernikahan yang sah.]

Abstract

Academic readiness, mental resilience, digital literacy, and multilingual competence are essential skills for students transitioning to higher education. Previous studies indicate that these students often experience academic adjustment challenges, psychological pressure, and limited exposure to foreign languages beyond Arabic and English. Although several programs have addressed academic guidance and mental health awareness, the integration of experiential learning within a comprehensive empowerment model for students remains limited. This program was developed based on the hypothesis that experiential, participatory engagement can significantly enhance students’ adaptive capacities. This community engagement initiative employed a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, involving 200 students from Madrasah Aliyah Dayah Terpadu Al-Muslimun in Aceh Utara. The program was implemented through four stages: preparation, socialization, implementation, and evaluation, using observation, interviews, structured tasks, and reflective discussions as data collection methods. Key outcome indicators included improved academic learning strategies, enhanced mental health awareness, increased digital literacy through the use of online journals, and basic competencies in Mandarin, Japanese, and French. The results demonstrated notable improvements in academic readiness, understanding of mental well-being, and learning motivation among third-year students. Second-year students demonstrated an increased ability to recognize basic vocabulary and showed a greater interest in foreign language learning. Overall, students' active participation and teachers' positive responses indicated the effectiveness of experiential learning in strengthening their adaptability. These findings align with empowerment theory, which posits that learners are active agents in their own personal development. No adverse effects were identified during program implementation. In conclusion, this empowerment program successfully enhanced students’ academic preparedness, mental resilience, and multilingual competence. Recommendations include establishing language interest classes, digital journal reading groups, and integrating mental health education into the curriculum.[Kesiapan akademik, ketahanan mental, literasi digital, dan kompetensi multibahasa merupakan kemampuan kunci bagi santri yang akan memasuki jenjang pendidikan tinggi. Berbagai studi menunjukkan bahwa remaja pesantren menghadapi tantangan adaptasi akademik, tingginya stres belajar, serta terbatasnya paparan bahasa asing selain Arab dan Inggris. Program-program terdahulu telah menyoroti pentingnya pembinaan akademik dan kesehatan mental, namun integrasi pendekatan experiential learning dalam penguatan multiaspek siswa pesantren masih terbatas. Kegiatan ini berangkat dari hipotesis bahwa model pemberdayaan berbasis pengalaman langsung dapat meningkatkan kemampuan adaptif siswa secara signifikan. Metode kegiatan menggunakan pendekatan Participatory Action Research (PAR) dengan melibatkan 200 siswa Madrasah Aliyah Dayah Terpadu Al-Muslimun Aceh Utara. Program dirancang melalui empat tahap persiapan, sosialisasi, pelaksanaan, dan evaluasi dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui observasi, wawancara, tugas terstruktur, dan refleksi partisipatif. Indikator utama yang diukur meliputi peningkatan pemahaman strategi belajar, kesadaran kesehatan mental, kemampuan literasi digital melalui jurnal daring, serta kompetensi dasar bahasa Mandarin, Jepang, dan Perancis. Hasil menunjukkan adanya peningkatan kemampuan akademik, pemahaman konsep mental well-being, serta motivasi belajar pada kelompok siswa tingkat tiga. Pada kelompok tingkat dua, terjadi peningkatan kemampuan identifikasi kosakata dasar dan minat terhadap pembelajaran bahasa asing. Secara keseluruhan, partisipasi aktif siswa dan respons positif guru memperlihatkan efektivitas pendekatan experiential learning dalam memperkuat kapasitas adaptif santri. Hasil ini konsisten dengan teori pemberdayaan berbasis partisipasi yang menempatkan siswa sebagai aktor utama dalam proses pengembangan diri. Tidak ditemukan dampak negatif selama pelaksanaan program. Kesimpulannya, program pemberdayaan ini berhasil meningkatkan kesiapan akademik, ketahanan mental, serta kompetensi multibahasa siswa pesantren. Rekomendasi meliputi penguatan keberlanjutan melalui pembentukan kelas minat bahasa, kelompok baca jurnal digital, dan integrasi pelatihan kesehatan mental dalam kurikulum dayah.]

Abstract

The level of financial literacy among rural communities, particularly women working in the informal sector, remains relatively low, affecting household economic resilience. This condition is also observed in Blumbungan Village, Larangan District, Pamekasan Regency, where most women work in tobacco warehouses and play dual roles as additional breadwinners and household financial managers. This community service program aims to improve financial literacy and household financial management skills through participatory-based training. The activity employed the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method over one month, involving 23 female tobacco warehouse workers. The stages included a needs assessment, delivery of financial literacy materials, budgeting simulations, and practice in expense evaluation using the 50–30–20 allocation concept. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed descriptively. The results revealed that before the training, most participants lacked a financial recording system and tended to spend their income spontaneously on daily needs. After the training, participants showed significant improvement in understanding proportional income allocation, recording expenditures, and saving regularly. They also became aware of the importance of budgeting evaluation and the need for financial independence in old age without relying on their children. This program not only enhanced participants' technical and financial management skills but also strengthened women's economic empowerment and household financial resilience in rural areas. The program recommends follow-up activities such as periodic mentoring and the establishment of village-based financial literacy learning groups to ensure the sustainability of proper financial management practices.

Abstract

Vannamei shrimp farming is an important source of livelihood and local food production for coastal communities, yet its productivity is highly sensitive to rapid fluctuations in pond water quality. In many small-scale and group-based ponds, monitoring is still conducted manually and intermittently, leading to delayed corrective actions and avoidable production losses. This community engagement program aimed to strengthen local aquaculture management in the Jaring Emas Vannamei shrimp farmer group in Sumenep Regency, Indonesia, through the implementation of an Internet of Things (IoT)-based Early Warning System (EWS) for real-time water quality monitoring. The program was carried out using a participatory and practice-based approach that actively involved the partner group throughout the process, from problem identification and solution design to system installation, practical training, and ongoing assistance. The intervention introduced three ESP32-based IoT nodes equipped with pH, temperature, and dissolved oxygen (DO) sensors, supported by an MQTT communication server and integrated web and mobile applications that provided real-time dashboards, early warning alerts, and more systematic records for feeding and harvesting activities. The evaluation examined system operability, continuity of monitoring, and changes in partners’ operational practices. The findings showed that the system operated continuously and enabled real-time monitoring through both web and mobile access. The partners were increasingly able to interpret data trends, understand alerts, and use this information to take corrective actions, such as adjusting aeration when DO levels declined. Operational record-keeping also became more systematic, while harvest data indicated improved outcomes after system adoption: yields increased from approximately 830–880 kg per pond with grade B quality to approximately 1,190–1,220 kg per pond with grade A quality. Overall, the program strengthened not only technical monitoring capacity but also more preventive, responsive, and data-informed pond management practices at the community level. Future programs should strengthen post-deployment mentoring and develop simple recommendations based on historical data to support sustained adoption and broader impact.

Abstract

Early detection and disease prevention are part of the health activities conducted at Sekolah Lansia Purbaya in Salatiga City, Central Java. A health survey on May 20, 2025, revealed that of 29 older women, most participants had hypertension (89.66%). In addition, 65.52% had a body mass index outside the normal range, and 58.62% had abdominal obesity. These conditions show the need for a community service program focusing on blood pressure management. This activity aimed to improve older adults’ understanding of hypertension through audiovisual education and exercise. A service-learning approach was used for 33 participants from Purbaya Senior Citizens’ School in Karangalit, Salatiga City. The activity included health needs assessment, program preparation, implementation, reflection, and evaluation. Participants received health examinations, took part in the Ngadi Salira hypertension exercise, watched the Healthy Heart and Controlled Blood Pressure (SEHATI) educational video, and had a group discussion. Health examinations in July 2025 showed that 60.61% of participants had stage 1 hypertension and 60.61% had abdominal obesity, while most had normal blood glucose, uric acid, and cholesterol levels. After the service-learning, all the participants reported enjoying the exercise session. During the discussion, many expressed interest in continuing the exercise at home and in applying the information from the educational video. The Ngadi Salira exercise and SEHATI audiovisual serve as educational tools for managing high blood pressure at the Sekolah Lansia Purbaya.

Abstract

Madurese language education faces two major challenges: declining intergenerational language transmission and limited integration of literacy and numeracy into classroom practice. A preliminary needs assessment in three partner schools in Pamekasan Regency identified low teacher competency, limited contextual teaching resources, weak student engagement, and minimal utilization of local cultural assets in learning. To address these challenges, this community engagement program adopted a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach involving 20 Madurese language teachers, school leaders, researchers, and the Pakem Maddhu community. The program was conducted through four interactive cycles: (1) participatory problem identification and asset mapping; (2) collaborative planning and capacity building; (3) classroom implementation with mentoring and observation; and (4) reflective evaluation to improve teaching practices and learning resources. Local cultural assets, including paribasan, pantun, tembang macapat, and Madurese batik motifs, were integrated into literacy- and numeracy-based learning activities. Program evaluation, using competency tests, questionnaires, classroom observations, and reflective discussions, demonstrated substantial improvements in teacher competency (52.0 to 78.3; p < .001), increased teacher confidence in using digital learning media (85%), and higher student interest in Madurese language learning (38.6% to 72.4%; p = .004). Beyond improving instructional competence, the program strengthened collaboration among teachers, schools, and the local community, resulting in contextual teaching modules, lesson plans, digital learning resources, and a sustainable professional learning network. The program contributes a replicable, community-based empowerment model that integrates Participatory Action Research, local cultural assets, literacy and numeracy integration, and teacher professional development for regional language education.
