Abstract

Aursati Village has considerable potential for the development of Danau Bokuok tourism, yet faces limitations in providing creative local products that reinforce the destination’s identity. The absence of facilities that showcase local characteristics has reduced the area’s attractiveness. This community service program aimed to strengthen tourism through the diversification of local furniture products utilizing wood waste and the natural forms of unproductive durian and rubber tree stumps. The program consisted of four stages: preparation through coordination and scheduling; program socialization and product education; technical training in crafting decorative furniture using local materials combined with resin; and the handover of products to the village for use as tourism support facilities. The results demonstrated improved knowledge, skills, and active participation of the community, particularly village youth, in creative production. The products developed not only offered aesthetic value but also reflected a strong local identity. This program is expected to stimulate sustainable village-based creative enterprises and foster a tourism-driven local economy. Moreover, the activity strengthened community awareness and a sense of ownership in tourism development, ensuring continued contributions and long-term impact.

Abstract

This Community Service Program (PKM) aims to empower coffee farmers in Kutambaru Village, Munte District, Karo Regency, by valorizing coffee husk waste into economically valuable cascara products. The problems faced by the partners include the underutilization of coffee waste, limited knowledge of product diversification, and inadequate managerial and marketing capacities. The program was implemented using a participatory approach through socialization, cascara production training, basic business management training, and digital marketing assistance. The evaluation results indicate an improvement in participants’ capacity. At the initial stage, 60% of participants had no prior knowledge of coffee husk valorization and cascara products. After the program, 100% understood the processing stages, and 70% were able to independently practice production. In addition, around 60% of participants demonstrated initial understanding of agroindustry management and digital marketing. The program produced pure and spiced cascara products, along with outputs including a simple business plan, product branding, and digital marketing accounts to support the development of a sustainable community-based agroindustry.

Waste management is a critical issue in urban areas, including in Pulo Kerto Village, Gandus District, Palembang City.

The method used was Participatory Learning and Action (PLA), comprising three stages: observation, core implementation (socialization, education, and waste-sorting practice), and evaluation. The activity was attended by 30 participants, consisting of housewives and environmental cadres. Evaluation results showed a significant increase in community knowledge: understanding of the waste bank concept increased from 16% to 100%, waste sorting ability increased from 27% to 80%, and willingness to participate in waste banks increased from 40% to 90%. This activity had a positive impact on changing community attitudes in managing household waste more responsibly.
