This journal publishes articles on community service and empowerment results that are problem-solving, comprehensive, meaningful, and sustainable, with clear goals. Various community service and empowerment activities must have novelty (have innovation and creativity), so that they do not just replicate the same activities in different places, have measurable results and impacts on society, and support the achievement of the goals set forth in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SDGs are a global action plan agreed by world leaders, to end poverty, reduce inequality and protect the environment. The SDGs contain 17 Goals and 169 Targets, so that each article must be linked to these goals and targets (as stated in the contribution statement).

Abstract

Empowerment, from a social science perspective, is defined as an effort to meet the needs required by an individual or community group. Community participation plays a crucial role in making empowerment a process that creates a conducive environment for developing the potential of the people. For the empowerment process to run effectively, there must be efforts to raise community awareness about the conditions they face through communication strategies. Pringsewu Regency possesses local potential, resources, and natural beauty that have been utilized by the Nggruput Pringsewu Community, the initiators of the Sunday Morning Market tourism program, known as Nggruput Pringsewu. This traditional market significantly supports the economic growth of the Pringsewu area. This research aims to analyze the communication strategies employed by the Nggruput Pringsewu Community and the outcomes of community empowerment through the Nggruput tourism initiative in Pringsewu Regency. The research uses a qualitative field study approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis was conducted through three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing or verification. The findings indicate that: 1) The communication strategy applied by the Nggruput Pringsewu Community in empowering the community is based on participatory principles. The strategy is implemented through three main approaches: community participation, the use of digital technology, and collaboration with various stakeholders including the government, social communities, and youth organizations (Karang Taruna). 2) The results of community empowerment through Nggruput tourism are evident in two main aspects: social and economic. In the social aspect, there is an improvement in community well-being through active involvement in tourism management, the development of public facilities, and social and educational activities conducted by the community. In the economic aspect, the Nggruput tourism initiative creates business opportunities for the community, thus increasing local incomes.

Abstract

This community service activity aimed to deploy, and commission decentralized drinking-water service points for a river-dependent community on Kemarau Island, Palembang, supporting Sustainable Development Goal 6 by expanding access to treated water at low operating cost. A needs-based field procedure included a site survey, raw-water intake assessment, demand and electrical-load estimation, UF–solar pumping system design, component selection, and installation of a 300 Wp photovoltaic array (3×100 Wp), a 100 Ah battery, a controller/inverter unit, a 450 W pump, an ultrafiltration (UF) unit, and 250 L/600 L storage tanks. The system then underwent commissioning tests (leak checks, pump start–stop tests, and continuous-run trials), operator training, and formal handover to the neighbourhood association. Results showed stable operation of the intake pump–UF pump–storage tank series. The 250 L treated-water tank filled within 20–30 minutes, indicating an effective flow rate of 8.3–12.5 L/min (≈500–750 L/h). Water appeared clearer and odourless, and pH increased from 5.5 (raw water) to 6.9 (treated water). The system demonstrated service readiness and initial treatment performance and may reduce reliance on grid/diesel pumping; however, routine logs and scheduled laboratory testing for turbidity and microbiological indicators are required to verify long-term water safety.

Abstract

Practical science learning requires adequate microscope slides to support students’ science process skills. Yet many schools have limited slide collections because commercial preparations are expensive and hard to access. This community service program aimed to (1) improve junior high school science teachers’ knowledge, attitudes, and skills in producing temporary and permanent microscopic slides, (2) promote the use of safe and readily available local materials, and (3) integrate the resulting slides into lesson plans and student worksheets. The program consisted of socialization, hands-on training, workshops, one-month mentoring, and monitoring–evaluation. Participants were four science teachers from SMP Muhammadiyah 2 Batu and SMP Muhammadiyah 8 Batu (Kota Wisata Batu, East Java, Indonesia). Using a 1–4 rubric, pre- and post-tests showed marked improvements in knowledge (mean 1.9 to 3.4), attitudes (mean 1.5 to 3.5), and skills (mean 1.5 to 3.3). Overall, structured practice supported by mentoring strengthened teachers’ independence in producing affordable laboratory media and improved the feasibility of practical-based biology learning.

Abstract

Women in tourism villages often have limited access to creative-economy skills and market channels. This community service program aimed to strengthen women’s capacity in Tulungrejo Village (Bumiaji, Batu City) through mentoring on Shibori batik making and introductory entrepreneurship. The program used participatory training and mentoring stages: (1) socialization with the Village Head and community; (2) hands-on workshop on Shibori batik processes (folding, tying, dye mixing, waterglass fixation, drying and washing); and (3) follow-up mentoring through field visits and online consultation. Baseline information from village profiling indicates that about 30% of residents are not employed, including 1,574 people managing household work and 1,228 not working from a population of 9,251. During the first training session (27 January 2026), participation exceeded the target (18 invited; 23 attended). Participants produced Shibori fabrics with several motifs and initiated a WhatsApp group for continued practice and coordination. Qualitative feedback from interviews and reflective discussions emphasized the relevance of low-cost materials and the feasibility of home-based production. Overall, the program demonstrates early progress toward establishing a community-based Shibori batik activity that supports women empowerment and entrepreneurial interest.

Abstract

This research aims to (1) describe of forest farmers empowerment, (2) analyze changes in forest farmers behavior in management and preserving forest ecosystems as a result of empowerment activities, and (3) analyze the contribution of local resource-based empowerment to increasing the income and economic independence of forest farmers. This research used a qualitative method with a case study approach involving forest farmers on the slopes of Mount Arjuno in Dayurejo Village, Prigen District, Pasuruan Regency, East Java, specifically the Forest Farmer Group (KTH) under the auspices of the Loka Jaya Binangun Village Forest Management Institution (LPHD). Primary data were obtained through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and participant observation, while secondary data were collected through document analysis. Data validity was ensured through triangulation. Data validity was ensured through triangulation by collecting data from different sources and at different times. The data were processed and analyzed by grouping and integrating predetermined categories, which were then described and interpreted to draw conclusions. The results indicate that first, forest farmer empowerment in forest management emphasizes informal and participatory approaches, such as direct field practice, group discussions, community service activities, and experiential learning, rather than instructive and formalistic methods. Second, Behavioral change occurs effectively through a gradual process involving direct experience, collective practice, and learning based on real-life needs, transforming forest farmers’ perspectives and behaviors from passive and short-term forest management toward active, planned, and sustainability-oriented forest management. Third, environmental awareness is developed through lived experiences rather than coercive regulations. This contextual empowerment approach grows organically through shared practice and field-based learning, making the model adaptive to the local social-ecological context and the dynamics of cooperation among stakeholders, while maintaining the forest farmer group as the central actor in forest management.

Abstract

The low level of financial literacy and understanding of long-term investment among Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) in Malaysia is a serious problem that impacts consumptive income management and minimal post-migration financial planning. This condition has the potential to hinder the sustainability of PMI's welfare after returning home. This activity aims to improve the capacity of financial literacy and understanding of long-term investment for PMI in Malaysia through an educational and participatory approach. The activity was implemented through a collaboration between the Faculty of Administrative Sciences, Brawijaya University and the Indonesian Embassy (KBRI) in Kuala Lumpur. The methods used included Focus Group Discussions with the Indonesian Embassy's Labor Attaché, material delivery through lectures, interactive discussions, and direct mentoring related to financial management and investment. The activity evaluation used a one-group pretest and posttest design to measure changes in participants' level of understanding. The evaluation results showed a significant increase in knowledge, with an average N-Gain Score of 0.75, which is considered high, and an activity effectiveness level of 75 percent, which is considered quite effective. Overall, this activity had a positive impact in increasing PMI's awareness and understanding of the importance of long-term financial management and investment as a foundation for sustainable prosperity in the future
