Abstract

This research aims to examine the responsibility of business actors in providing correct, complete, and non-misleading information through electronic media and its implications for consumer protection. The research method used is a normative juridical approach that examines various legal regulations related to the responsibility of business actors and their legal impact. Data collection is carried out through literature studies by reviewing legal documents, journals, reference books, and field research that includes observations and interviews with related parties in the Lower Medan City Government. Research results show that business actors have legal and ethical obligations to provide transparent information to consumers, while failure to fulfill these obligations can result in serious legal consequences, both civil, administrative, and criminal. Therefore, efforts are needed to increase information verification, public education, and strict regulatory enforcement to create a fair and trusted digital business environment

Abstract

Aedes Aegypti is the cause of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF), which is transmitted by its bite. Schools are one of the locations that cause the transmission and spread of dengue fever due to the cleanliness of the school environment and school sanitation, which is still classified as not yet clean. This community service aims to educate students on preventing the spread of dengue hemorrhagic fever by implementing clean and healthy living behavior in the school environment. Community service methods include socialization, pre-test, and post-test, student education using lecture methods, and discussions with students. The community service results stated that there was an increase in the knowledge of students at SMPN 191 West Jakarta in understanding the implementation of PHBS in the school environment as an initial effort to prevent the spread of dengue fever in the school environment. In this activity, information was obtained that 79.95% of students' knowledge had increased regarding the application of PHBS, especially in washing hands using soap.

Abstract

This community service activity was designed to strengthen the institutional structure of the Anjasmoro Village Cooperative (KUD) located in Wonosalam District, through the optimization of business legality and increasing the capacity of members in the field of digital marketing. The main problems faced are the low ownership of Business Identification Numbers (NIB) and limitations in the use of e-commerce and social media for digital marketing. The methods used were Focus Group Discussions (FGD), education, mentoring, and periodic evaluations. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in the understanding and skills of MSME actors regarding NIB management and the use of digital platforms such as Shopee, WhatsApp Business, and Instagram for online product marketing. In addition, of the 20 participants who took part in training on NIB creation and digital marketing, 80 percent, or 16 people, already had an NIB and understood digital marketing. This activity proves that educational and participatory interventions can drive digital transformation and local economic empowerment. In addition to supporting the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this program also strengthens the competitiveness of MSMEs in the digital era. This activity serves as a model for institutional-based empowerment that can be replicated in other regions.

Abstract

The Edu-Eco-School Program was implemented as a community service activity at SMPS Khazanah Boarding School, Pujud District, with the aim of optimizing school land through the cultivation of food crops and vegetables supported by a water-efficient irrigation system. This program is significant as it aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Zero Hunger and Climate Action, which emphasize food security and water resource conservation in education. The implementation stages included land condition surveys, the design and construction of a bore well and PVC pipe network as an irrigation system for plant watering, agricultural training, and mentoring up to the harvesting stage. The program successfully transformed underutilized land into a productive garden with various commodities, such as chili, tomato, corn, and vegetables. The harvest not only met the school’s basic needs but also served as a contextual learning medium for students to practice sustainable agriculture. Overall, this program enhanced school community engagement, improved water-use efficiency, and created a productive green area that supports local food security while strengthening environmental education.
