Abstract

Urban waste management in Indonesia faces challenges from rapid population growth, increased waste generation, limited landfill capacity, and low public awareness of waste segregation. Although regulations promote the 3R principles (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle), their implementation is hampered by inadequate infrastructure and community participation. Bank Sampah IKHLAS exemplifies community-based waste management by empowering residents, especially women, to transform waste into valuable products while fostering environmental awareness. To enhance its effectiveness, the community service programs focused on education and motivation through socialization and personalized approaches to raise awareness of reducing waste volume at landfills. Creativity training based on the 3R principle was conducted, resulting in products like wallets, bags, laptop cases, and tumbler covers. The program increased awareness and participation, reflected in a rise in customers from 24 percent to 37 percent of total households. Although the increase is modest, the program successfully encouraged broader community involvement. Waste management has expanded from basic sorting to producing reusable items through recycling, showcasing the potential of integrated community-based approaches. This initiative highlights the role of education and creativity in building sustainable waste management systems.

Abstract

Family is the main pillar of mental health’. It is undeniable that various mental health problems originate from family factors, such as depression, suicidal ideation, and personality disorders. We found that there was a poor quality of relationships between parents and children that triggered prolonged psychological conflict. So, the need for psychoeducation on the role of parents in child development among marginalised communities emerged. The purpose of this service is to increase awareness of the importance of the quality of parenting psychologically in marginalized families in Semarang City. The method of service carried out is psychoeducation and support groups. The participants of this service were 34 people. The implementation of the service was divided into two. First, parenting psychoeducation. The second activity was a support group on the role and importance of the quality of the relationship between parents and children. Case cards were used during the discussion in the group, this instrument helped the discussion without removing the opportunity to convey their experiences in the family authentically. The evaluation was done qualitatively. From this activity, it was found that there was a transfer of learning in simple knowledge and skills, while beliefs were difficult to change, such as that children should be physically punished when parents are angry. This is a finding that can be explored further in research or work with families.

Abstract

The transition to renewable energy is a strategic response to the global energy crisis and climate change. A community service project was conducted to promote energy independence for the Red Tilapia Intensive System (REDTIS) community by installing solar panels. Utilizing the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) method, the initiative involved installing two solar panels with a total capacity of 200 WP, a 100 AH battery, a 30 A solar charge controller, and a 500 Watt inverter to power a 100-Watt aerator. The project began with community asset identification, renewable energy analysis, system design, installation, and performance monitoring. The solar panel system generated an average of 1 kWh daily, covering approximately 41.3 percent of the aerator's 2.4 kWh daily energy requirement. This reduced reliance on conventional energy, lowering electricity costs and carbon emissions. While the solar panels did not fully meet the aerator's energy needs, the initiative demonstrated significant potential for scalability. Enhancing energy production, storage, and management is expected to achieve complete energy independence. This project serves as a replicable model for other communities seeking sustainable energy solutions.

Abstract

The traditional lecture-based learning followed by questions or assignments from the teacher, as observed in partner schools, often fails to fully empower students' abilities. Research conducted by the PKM team has shown that practicum-based and project-based learning can effectively enhance various student skills, including cognitive abilities, critical thinking, creativity, process skills, and attitudes. The Community Empowerment Program (PMP) aims to empower and enhance the knowledge and skills of teachers in developing project-based learning tools and assessments, creating learning products, as well as writing and publishing scientific papers. This activity involves socialization, training, mentoring, and review of project-based learning and assessments, as well as article writing and publication using PTK methodology for science teachers. Participants in the program are science teachers from schools in the Sepauk sub-district, Sintang, West Kalimantan. The program was implemented from June to September 2024. The results of the activities indicate that teachers actively and enthusiastically participated in the socialization, training, mentoring, and guidance sessions. The products generated from the PKM activities were 90 percent successful, and there was an 80 percent increase in teacher empowerment through these activities.

Abstract

The BUMDes fish processing business unit group experienced obstacles regarding the function of packaging and how to market digitally in the sale of Dempo fish products.  The purpose of this PKM is to create the right packaging to maintain product quality; and expand product marketing areas to increase sales productivity through digital marketing. The method is carried out through training and mentoring in the form of packaging practices with the use of vacuum sealers, the creation of e-commerce sales accounts integrated into social media, and the evaluation stage of activities. The results of this community service activity show an increase in the skills of the partner group in utilizing packaging tools for Dempo fish produced (78%) so that product packaging is more attractive and supports shelf life to maintain product quality. With the packaging technology used, the knowledge of partner group members in understanding the function of packaging that affects marketing has also increased (80%). This has an impact on the increase in sales turnover received through social media owned by members of the partner group. If previously it was known that the sales turnover of this product was IDR 16 million per year or equivalent to IDR 1.3 million per month, then after the PKM activity there was an increase in sales turnover of IDR 2.1 million at the same price within 3 weeks.

Abstract

Many teachers struggle to utilize technology to create interactive, creative, and innovative learning media. They often face challenges in selecting and using the wide variety of available learning tools, which leads them to rely on traditional methods such as textbooks. Additionally, the lack of skills in using technology-based media, such as infographics, hinders their ability to enhance the quality of teaching in line with the demands of the digital era. This study aims to describe the implementation of infographic training as an alternative learning media at SMPN Satap 2 Palangka Raya. The training was designed to enhance teachers' competencies in utilizing information technology, especially within the limitations of available resources. Using the Assets-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach, the training leveraged existing facilities such as school laptops, smartphones, and premium Canva accounts. The training activities included an introduction to infographic design, hands-on practice with Canva, intensive mentoring, and an exhibition of participants' works. The results indicate that the training was conducted as planned with active teacher participation, despite technical challenges such as limited internet connectivity. This training also highlighted the importance of sustained support, such as providing adequate technological infrastructure by schools and local governments, to improve the effectiveness of similar programs in the future.

Abstract

Urban agriculture challenges, such as limited land and time constraints, make hydroponic technology ideal to support the development of sustainable agricultural systems. Water pumps are essential for distributing nutrient water to plants in a hydroponic system. Using solar panels as an alternative energy source for hydroponic water pumps reduces operational costs and supports energy conservation efforts. This project aims to implement solar panels on hydroponic water pump machines to create energy independence for farmer groups. The activities cooperated with a farmer group called Hidroponik Generik (HG) in Pesanggrahan from April to October 2024. The implementation method includes training and assistance in applying vertical hydroponic technology and training and assistance in solar power generation for hydroponic systems. Results from community service show that solar-powered pumps reduce electricity costs, enhance income potential, and support sustainable farming. An 800 WP solar panel provides 1600 WH daily, powering pumps for 12-13 hours, cutting electricity usage by 66 percent and reducing monthly expenses by 10 percent. Along with vertical hydroponic installation, this program increases farm income by 15 percent, with a 45 percent improvement in participants' understanding of solar technology. The results of the activities were deemed successful after the partners expressed satisfaction with the conducted activities.
