Abstract

Brubuh Hamlet in Kalipang Village, Sutojayan District, Blitar Regency holds strong potential to become a child-friendly area, particularly in supporting children’s growth and development without reliance on digital devices. In response to this, a community service program on Child-Friendly Village Development was carried out with two main objectives: (a) to identify and explore the assets and potentials of the community to create a supportive, child-friendly environment; and (b) to encourage community members to take action toward realizing this vision. Using the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach, various local assets were mapped—including individual skills, physical infrastructure, social capital, natural resources, cultural values, and religious traditions. Building on this foundation, actions were implemented through educational workshops on the importance of a gadget-free developmental environment for children, as well as the construction of a play area equipped with facilities designed to stimulate children’s physical, cognitive, and emotional development. As a result of this initiative, residents became inspired to propose and initiate further community-driven activities, demonstrating increased ownership and engagement in building a child-friendly environment.

Abstract

One of the villages that already has a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) as a fostered village of Jember University is Sidomekar Village located in Semboro District, Jember Regency, East Java. The problem of Sidomekar Village that is highlighted is the low selling price of Semboro oranges during the harvest season, sometimes only Rp2000 per kg, thus negatively impacting farmers' income. The solution to this problem is to utilize orange peel waste as an active ingredient in body scrub preparations so that it can be used as one of the village's superior products. This community service program aims to provide solutions to the problems faced by partners while increasing the Village Development Index, especially in terms of the Economic Resilience Index through the development of superior village products based on orange peel waste. This service program was carried out by providing socialization attended by 35 participants regarding the process of making and using tools to produce body scrubs from orange peels. The increase in knowledge and skills of participants increased by 90% based on the active participation in the socialization event during the question and answer session and practice of making body scrubs from orange peels.

Abstract

Poultry and egg farming SMEs must be empowered to enhance egg and chicken production through the development of egg-sorting equipment and tools aimed at reducing egg defects. This initiative seeks to improve the performance of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the poultry sector. The implementation of sorting tools significantly alleviates the operational burden on livestock in MSMEs by accelerating the sorting process, which in turn facilitates faster product shipments. Over the long term, this can lead to a decrease in the number of sorting employees required and helps minimize egg breakage during harvesting. Moreover, the introduction of curved stainless steel cage bottoms significantly enhances egg production capacity. This innovation leads to an average reduction of 54 percent in the number of defective eggs during harvesting. Furthermore, sorting time sees an impressive average decrease of 28 percent. Currently, the average sorting time for an egg is 31.42 seconds, but with the implementation of the Automatic Egg Sorter Tool, this time is reduced to 22.6 seconds per egg, reflecting a marked improvement in efficiency.

Abstract

Jenggawah Village, Jember Regency is a lowland area with great potential as an agricultural barn. However, the abundance of agricultural commodities has not been balanced with the application of modern technology, so that productivity is disrupted by conventional methods and unpredictable climate change. To overcome this, an integrated agricultural system based on the Internet of Things (IoT) was implemented through a real-time analysis method to predict climate and monitor land conditions. This program includes surveys, system design, installation of monitoring tools, and socialization of precision agricultural technology. This system uses five main sensors (soil moisture, light intensity, rainfall, wind speed, and air quality) connected to a mobile website, allowing farmers to monitor their land in real time. In testing, the monitoring tool recorded daily energy consumption of 136.32 Wh, supported by a 100 Wp solar panel and a 56.8 Ah battery. This program is accompanied by training and technology transfer to farmers to increase productivity, soft skills, and welfare. As a result, the community accepted the technology well, accelerated the digitalization of agriculture, and made Jenggawah Village a pilot model for the application of precision agricultural technology in other areas.

Abstract

Sumberkerang Village and Karang Pranti Village have tourist attractions that are then managed as joint tourist attraction business units. The results of field observations indicate that there is a lack of transparency in the management of BUMDes finances, as the BUMDes financial report is only accessible to the BUMDes chairman and treasurer. There is a lack of clarity in the description of duties between the BUMDes chairman and the Village Government. There is manipulative data on Village Original Income, especially income through BUMDes where income does not match reality. The method used is qualitative descriptive with data collection through interviews with several informants and discussion forums involved in BUMDes management, and providing training in BUMDes management that is more transparent and accountable. Efforts were made by providing training and mechanisms for BUMDes financial fraud prevention models by managing finances according to the regulations set, where each income must be recorded according to reality, and a Standard Operating Procedure for reporting BUMDes management is prepared. Further fraud prevention is carried out through weekly supervision by the BPD to ensure that BUMDes management is conducted according to existing systems and regulations. This service, through socialization and training for partners, can provide benefits so that they can carry out financial activities according to established regulations, and village communities can also participate in supervising BUMDes financial management.

Abstract

Feed is one of the things that really determines the success of a livestock business. In the rainy season, quality feed ingredients are difficult to obtain. This has the effect that farmers have a look alternative feed so that livestock feed needs can be met properly. One method that can be used to maintain the nutritional content of alternative feed is the fermentation process. This community service activity is part of the collaboration between the Pekalongan Regency Government and Diponegoro University. This activity will be carried out from June to December 2023 with service partners from the Tanjungkulon Village Livestock Group Kajen District consisting of 15 - 20 participants. Implementation of activities is carried out using counseling, practice and mentoring methods for livestock groups. This activity is considered very useful for improving the skills of farmer groups. Because livestock groups can use ingredients that are sold generally to make higher quality animal feed. This was reinforced during the monitoring process with the success rate indicator for making animal feed reaching 75 – 80%. It is hoped in the future this activity can continue, and quality animal feed products can be used as additional income for Livestock Group Kajen District, Pekalongan Regency.

Abstract

Mushalla Longga Congkeh in Guguak District, Lima Puluh Kota Regency frequently experiences electricity shortages that disrupt worship and daily community activities. This community service program aims to address the limited electricity supply through the implementation of Appropriate Technology (TTG) in the form of a Solar Power Generation System (PLTS). The implementation methods include socialization, technical training, and mentoring of the local community during the installation and maintenance of the PLTS system. The main objective is to improve access to renewable, environmentally friendly, and sustainable energy sources. The program successfully installed a 100 Wp PLTS system capable of producing approximately 400 WH of electricity per day, sufficient to meet the lighting and sound system needs of the mushalla. The impact of this activity is measured quantitatively through increased electricity availability, reduced operational costs, and improved community energy independence. This program demonstrates that solar energy utilization offers a concrete solution to electricity shortages, and its implementation model has the potential to be replicated in other regions facing similar energy access challenges.

Abstract

A 2024 national survey by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) revealed that 43% of Gen Z still lack an understanding of banking institutions. One high school facing similar challenges in banking education is SMA 17 Agustus 1945 (SMATAG) Surabaya. Student performance in the banking section of economics remains suboptimal, with average scores among 11th-grade social science students ranging from 6.0 to 6.2.  Teachers currently lack interactive learning media to help students effectively grasp the material. To address this issue, the community service team from Hayam Wuruk Perbanas University implemented an interactive educational approach using a QR Code-based Snakes and Ladders game. The program employed a Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) method involving three economics teachers and 86 students. The stages included coordination, game board design and development, trials, further refinement, lectures and gameplay, and evaluation. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ banking knowledge, with average scores increasing from 42.70 (pre-test) to 86.14 (post-test). The overall program was well received, earning an average score of 4.07. These findings indicate that interactive, technology-based games can serve as effective educational tools and enhance students’ motivation to learn.

Abstract

Grief affects many elements of life, including psychological, spiritual, social, and economic ones. It can affect anyone, especially if the deceased was the main provider for a family that was not as rich. The art entrepreneurship intervention at GKJ Kartasura aims to give those who have been left behind by their family's primary provider a financial and psychological cure. Data was gathered using the Adult Attitude to Grief scale. Feelings of empowerment, resilience, and loss of control are the three domains that are measured. Individual measurements were taken both before and after the workout. To supplement the information gathered from the training participants, participant observations and in-depth interviews were also employed. The training was customized for each individual based on their skills and interests. 14 people showed up for the program, depending on how committed they were. The results indicate a reduction in grief and an improvement in participants' well-being following involvement in art entrepreneurship activities. Beyond economic benefits, the program fostered enthusiasm, hope, mental resilience, and self-confidence. Furthermore, it created new employment opportunities through the production and promotion of artistic works.

Abstract

The Taruna Tani Abinaya Milenial Group in Sumber Brantas Village faces serious challenges in potato cultivation due to pest and disease attacks. Endemic diseases such as late blight (Phytophthora infestans) and potato cyst nematodes (Globodera sp.), along with infestations of leaf miner (Lyriomyza sp.), have reduced yields by up to 80–100 percent. This condition is further exacerbated by heavy reliance on synthetic pesticides, leading to high production costs, pest resistance, and soil quality degradation. To address these problems, an Ecological Integrated Pest Management Farmer Field School (IPM-FS) was implemented with the aim of improving agroecosystem health while reducing chemical pesticide use. The IPM-FS was carried out through a participatory extension approach using andragogy and discovery learning methods. Activities included the development of site-specific potato cultivation SOPs, the establishment of study plots, and training on the production of organic fertilizers, botanical pesticides, and local microorganisms. Evaluation results showed that 50 percent of participants were very satisfied with the learning materials, 44 percent were satisfied with the methods, and 94 percent supported the program’s continuation. This program proved effective in enhancing farmers’ knowledge and skills in environmentally friendly farming practices. The preparation of ecological IPM-based SOPs serves as a guideline for implementing Good Agricultural Practices (GAP).
