Abstract

Generation Z, often referred to as the internet generation (iGen), born between 1997 and 2012, is a generation deeply immersed in technological advancements. The rapid development of technology across various financial sectors has meant that Generation Z is also a generation that is enjoying the shift from traditional financial services to digital financial services, such as online loans and paylater schemes. Online loans are services that make it easy for users to borrow money online, whilst paylater schemes allow users to obtain the products or services they desire first and make payment at a later date. The rising incidence of non-performing loans in online lending and paylater services is driven by materialistic tendencies such as compulsive buying, a propensity for debt, and ‘flexing’, as well as the phenomenon of Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) – the fear of appearing outdated on social media – which often leads Generation Z to view online lending as a quick alternative to sustain their lifestyle. Given this urgency, this Community Service (PkM) activity aims to enhance Generation Z’s understanding of digital credit risks through financial risk management training, an introduction to the mechanisms of online loans and paylater services, and the fostering of wiser financial behaviour. The partners for this activity are students from SMK Budi Perkasa in the Tambun area of Bekasi. The implementation of the PkM comprises three stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. The outcomes of the ‘ ’ PkM activity were evaluated using pre- and post-tests, and the results indicate that interactive and practical training is highly effective in enhancing participants’ knowledge of digital credit risk management. Overall, this PkM activity successfully achieved its set objectives and had a positive impact on changes in students’ financial knowledge and attitudes.

Abstract

This study examined how Village Funds (Dana Desa) were managed in Sambirejo Village, Prambanan, Sleman, to optimize Village Original Income (PADes) and strengthen community empowerment. The study used an exploratory qualitative design conducted from August to October 2025. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis involving seven key informants: the village head, village secretary, planning officer, finance officer, BUMDes manager, community leader, and a beneficiary group representative. The findings show that Sambirejo adopted a productive and participatory management strategy built on four pillars: (1) village-level planning from hamlet deliberation to Musrenbangdes and APBDes formulation; (2) capital strengthening for BUMDes and support for village tourism assets, especially Tebing Breksi; (3) community empowerment through UMKM training, mentoring, and market facilitation; and (4) transparency, monitoring, and evaluation through village information media and direct community oversight. Financial records indicate that BUMDes made a substantial contribution to PADes, while PADes-funded activities supported tourism maintenance, capacity building, community health, local culture, and business capital. The increase in PADes was associated with expanded job opportunities, improved basic services, stronger local entrepreneurship, and wider participation in village development. The main constraints were limited community initiative and regulatory rigidity in the use of village resources. The article contributes an empirically grounded model of village fund management that supports SDG 8 by linking local revenue growth with inclusive rural economic empowerment.

Abstract

Village-owned enterprises have been positioned as strategic instruments for strengthening local economic autonomy, yet many village enterprises in Indonesia still struggle to contribute meaningfully to village original revenue. This study examining how participatory-based management was implemented in BUM Kalurahan Tridadi Makmur, Sleman, and how such management supported the optimization of village original revenue. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation involving the enterprise director, supervisory board, village head, and members of the village consultative body. Data were analyzed using the Miles et al interactive model comprising data collection, condensation, display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that effective management was built through four interrelated functions: participatory planning, adaptive organizing, business-oriented implementation, and continuous supervision. Community participation appeared not only in deliberative forums but also in labor involvement and capital participation. Quantitative institutional records indicate strong business growth from 2023 to 2024, including a 37% increase in total assets, a 30% increase in gross income, and a 541% increase in net income. However, annual transfers from the enterprise to village revenue fluctuated across 2018-2024, indicating that financial contribution depends on wider operational and strategic considerations, not merely business expansion. The major supporting factors were village government support, leadership, community participation, and pentahelix collaboration, whereas human-resource constraints and increasing business competition remained key obstacles. The article contributes an empirically grounded management model for strengthening village enterprises and supports SDG 8 by demonstrating how locally managed enterprises can expand productive employment and inclusive rural economic growth.

Abstract

Small-scale fisheries (SSF) targeting high-value species such as grouper (Epinephelus spp.) in coastal communities like Barru, South Sulawesi, face increasing pressure from overexploitation, threatening local livelihoods. This community engagement program aimed to enhance the capacity of Small-scale Fishery Groups (KUB) Lumba-Lumba by improving knowledge of selective fishing and introducing a simple digital logbook for data-driven management. Using a participatory approach, knowledge gains were assessed through pre- and post-tests, alongside training in catch reporting, including Catch Per Unit Effort (CPUE). Results showed a significant increase in fisher’s knowledge, confirming the effectiveness of the training. However, this did not translate into behavioral change, as a persistent knowledge-practice gap remained. High market demand for spawning fish continued to incentivize non-compliant practices, while data sharing and regulation compliance remained low. These findings indicate that education and technical tools alone are insufficient to drive sustainable practices in SSF, where economic incentives strongly influence decision-making. Strengthening enforcement of minimum catch size regulations and fostering community-based agreements are therefore essential to resolve management conflicts and support long-term sustainability of grouper fisheries.

Abstract

Vocational education is essential for developing competent and entrepreneurial graduates. However, many schools face challenges in production standardization, legal compliance, and product marketability. This community service program aimed to strengthen the entrepreneurial capacity of vocational students at SMK Islam Anharul Ulum Blitar through food product standardization. The program involved 51 Agribusiness of Agricultural Product Processing students through participatory and hands-on activities. Activities included Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) training, Pangan Industri Rumah Tangga (PIRT) licensing assistance, and vacuum packaging implementation. A quasi-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire measured on a Likert scale and analyzed using paired sample t-test. The results showed a statistically significant improvement across all indicators. The highest gains were observed in GMP understanding (2.63 ± 1.37 to 5.16 ± 0.86) and differentiation between PIRT and BPOM (2.94 ± 1.58 to 5.29 ± 0.78). As a tangible outcome, the school successfully obtained a PIRT certificate for its “Harum” onion stick product, while students demonstrated improved competence in vacuum packaging applications. The findings demonstrate that integrated technical, regulatory, and technological training can strengthen market-oriented entrepreneurship in vocational education.

Abstract

The utilization of household organic waste as liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) represents an effort to support urban food security and environmental management. This study aims to minimize waste and enhance the knowledge and skills of the Kampoeng Pintar community in processing catfish wastewater and onion peels into LOF, as well as applying it to mustard cultivation to support SDGs 2 and 12. The methods included mentoring and LOF production with pH and nutrient content analysis, followed by demonstration of LOF application on mustard plants using three concentrations: P0 (AB Mix), P1 (LOF 20 mL/L), and P2 (LOF 30 mL/L), each with three repetitions. Plant growth parameters included height, leaf number, and fresh weight. Data were analyzed descriptively using mean and standard deviation. The results showed improved community knowledge and skills in waste processing. The LOF had a pH of 3.8, and the nutrient contents of N, P, K, Fe, and organic C did not meet the minimum standard of the Ministry of Agriculture Decree No. 261/KPTS/SR.310/M/4/2019, while K content and C/N ratio met the standard. The P2 treatment produced the best plant growth. This approach supports SDGs 2 and 12 by increasing mustard productivity and utilizing organic waste.

Abstract

The high volume of organic waste generated in urban areas calls for effective and sustainable management solutions. Kampoeng Pintar Oase Surabaya still relies on the commercial bioactivator EM4, which is relatively unaffordable; therefore, an environmentally friendly local bioactivator alternative is required. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of local microorganisms (MOL) derived from rotten tempeh and stale rice on composting duration and compost quality. MOL was produced by fermenting rotten tempeh, stale rice, and sugarcane molasses for 14 days. Composting was then conducted using EM4 and MOL treatments, each with three replicates. Composting duration and physicochemical characteristics were analysed descriptively based on laboratory results from BSPJI Surabaya. The results of the study showed that rotten tempeh and stale rice MOL accelerated the composting process to an average of 23 days, compared to 27 days for EM4. The compost produced was dark brown in colour, had an earthy aroma, and contained 1.13% N, 0.48% P, and 6.95% K. The total N+P+K content of 8.56% indicates that the compost meets the minimum requirements for solid organic fertiliser as stipulated in Ministry of Agriculture Regulation No. 01 of 2019.

Abstract

Suboptimal management of household kitchen waste remains an environmental issue in urban communities, including in Kampoeng Pintar Oase Tembokgede, Surabaya. This situation underscores the need for simple and sustainable methods of utilizing organic waste that align with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12 on responsible consumption and production. This community service activity was carried out in collaboration with the Kampoeng Pintar Oase Tembokgede Surabaya community through education and practical training on the production of liquid organic fertilizer (POC) made from kitchen waste and rotten tempeh. The activity methods included outreach on household organic waste management, training on POC production, and a demonstration of POC application on Brazilian spinach (Alternanthera sissoo) as part of urban farming activities within the community. The activity was evaluated through observations of plant growth as well as community response and participation in utilizing organic waste. The results of the activity showed that the POC produced contained the nutrients N, P, K, and organic C with a C/N ratio of 10.7, which is suitable for use as a simple organic fertilizer. POC application improved Brazilian spinach growth and enhanced the community’s skills in converting kitchen waste into useful products.

Abstract

The growth of water spinach at Kampoeng Pintar Oase, Tembok Gede, Surabaya indicates nutrient limitations in the growing medium that hinder urban agricultural productivity. Coffee grounds have the potential to be utilized as raw material for liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) through fermentation using fermented stale rice. This study aims to assess the quality of LOF made from fermented coffee grounds, analyze the effect of its application on water spinach growth, and determine the most effective concentration for supporting vegetative growth. The study was conducted using a quantitative descriptive design with four POC concentration treatments: P0 (control consisting of distilled water without added nutrients), P1 (25 mL), P2 (50 mL), and P3 (75 mL), each with three replicates. POC was anaerobically fermented using coffee grounds, fermented rice water, and molasses. The results showed that increasing the concentration of coffee-ground POC enhanced water spinach growth, particularly in terms of plant height, number of leaves, and fresh weight. The 75 mL concentration yielded the highest results. Although the organic carbon content of the POC did not fully meet optimal standards, the POC was still able to support plant growth because it contained macro- and micronutrients as well as organic compounds resulting from fermentation.
