Abstract

Increasing feed costs for KUB chickens encourage the development of alternative feed sources that are easy to cultivate and sustainable. This study aimed to describe the quality of liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) made from rice-washing wastewater fermented with local microorganisms (MOL) derived from spoiled rice, as well as its effect on the biomass growth of Azolla microphylla as an alternative green feed. The research methods included testing the LOF quality based on pH and nutrient content parameters in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of Agriculture No. 70/2011, as well as conducting an Azolla cultivation experiment with four treatments: P0 (0 mL/10 L), P1 (10 mL/10 L), P2 (25 mL/10 L), and P3 (35 mL/10 L), each with three replications. Environmental parameters measured included pH, temperature, and light intensity, while Azolla biomass was measured weekly. Data were analyzed descriptively and quantitatively using mean values and standard deviation. The results showed that the LOF contained N 0.33%, P₂O₅ 0.229%, K₂O 0.29%, organic C 1.61%, C/N ratio 4.88, with pH 4 and Fe 8.30 mg/kg in comparison with the quality standards. Treatment P1 produced the highest biomass of 83.33 g in the fourth week. This study indicates that rice-washing wastewater-based LOF is able to increase the biomass of Azolla microphylla and support SDGs 12.5.

Abstract

The water quality of wells in Gadingwatu Village has a high calcium content, which has the potential to cause health problems and reduce the efficiency of household water use. Meanwhile, abundant banana peel waste has not been optimally utilized. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of carbonized and activated banana peel as a biofilter to reduce calcium levels and improve water quality. The research was conducted in two stages, namely (1) observation, which included the production of activated carbon and measurement of water quality in accordance with Permenkes No.492/Menkes/Per/IV/2010, and (2) experimentation in the form of biofilter application. The data analysis technique used in this study was descriptive quantitative analysis by comparing the average calcium levels and water quality parameters before and after treatment. The results showed that the banana peel activated carbon biofilter was able to reduce CaCO₃ levels from 337ppm to 310ppm, TDS from 356.3ppm to 312.3ppm, and lead metal from 0.24µg/L to 0.13µg/L. The pH value increased from 7.3 to 7.9, making the water slightly alkaline. Characterization of the activated carbon showed a moisture content of 8.44%, ash content of 2.31%, and surface area of 55.44m²/g, which indicates that the data complies with SNI 06-3730-1995. Overall, the banana peel biofilter is quite effective in improving well water quality and has the potential to become an environmentally friendly filtration medium that supports SDGs 6 and 12.

Abstract

The low productivity of KUB chickens at the farm level encourages the use of local ingredients such as papaya leaves and turmeric as alternative supplements to KUB chickens. This activity aims to describe the quality of phytobiotics in increasing the weight of KUB chickens and supporting the achievement of SDGs 2 indicators. The method goes through 2 stages, namely observation of phytobiotic production and implementation at Ngenteni Farm, Gadingwatu Village, Menganti, Gresik. The application was carried out in three dose variation treatments, namely P0 (control), P1 (20 mL/L), and P2 (25 mL/L), each treatment with three replicates. Data analysis was carried out in a quantitative descriptive manner by calculating the mean and standard deviation (Mean±SD). Parameters were observed in the form of phytobiotic quality, effective dose, and weight of KUB chickens. The results showed the content of Vitamin C (14,26 mg), Zn (0,08 mg/kg), Calcium (<0,0535 mg/kg), and Magnesium (32,1 mg/kg), which will be compared with the quality standards. The results of the implementation of the P1 treatment gave the best results with an increase from 1,46±0,10 in the first week and 1,54±0,09 in the fourth week. Data show that P1 treatment is the most effective treatment with good consistency compared to P0 and P2, and supports efforts to increase productivity in achieving SDGs 2 indicators.

Abstract

Urban unemployment remains a persistent challenge in Yogyakarta, particularly for people of productive age who have limited access to formal employment and market-relevant skills. This study transformed a master’s thesis into a journal-style article by examining how the Independent Workforce Training (Tenaga Kerja Mandiri/TKM) program was implemented as a community empowerment strategy at PKBM Wijaya Kusuma. Using a descriptive qualitative design, the study drew on interviews, observation, and document analysis involving PKBM managers, local government representatives, instructors, and training participants. Data were analyzed through the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The findings show that the program was implemented through three connected stages: participatory planning based on community demand, practice-oriented training delivery, and reflective evaluation. The training combined hard skills in culinary production, food processing, batik, and ecoprint with soft skills in motivation, entrepreneurship, bookkeeping, marketing, and quality control. Implementation was strengthened by institutional collaboration, competent instructors, and high participant motivation, while limited facilities, weak post-training mentoring, and restricted business partnerships remained important constraints. Overall, the TKM program improved participants’ work skills, confidence, and readiness for self-employment, indicating its value as a nonformal education model that contributes to SDG 8 through employability enhancement and local economic empowerment.

Abstract

This community service (PkM) activity aims to enhance the capacity of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) through community-based mentoring in the areas of business legality, product standardization, and digital marketing. The activity was held on July 14, 2025, in RPTRA Payung Tunas Teratai, Cipayung, East Jakarta, involving 25 MSME operators. The method used was a participatory approach through outreach, training, and interactive discussions. The material covered business legalization (Business Identification Number and Micro and Small Business Licenses), packaging and labeling standards, as well as social media-based marketing strategies and marketing mix. The results of the activity showed an increase in participants’ understanding of the importance of business legality, product packaging quality, and the use of digital media in marketing. Additionally, this activity also encouraged the formation of networks among SME operators as a foundation for community-based innovation development. From a public financial accounting perspective, this activity contributes to strengthening awareness of accountability and transparency in business management, although the achievements are still at the output level and have not yet fully reached measurable outcomes. Therefore, continuous mentoring and the strengthening of a performance-based evaluation system are needed to improve the program’s effectiveness and sustainability.

Abstract

Community reading parks (Taman Bacaan Masyarakat, TBM) can function as community learning spaces when they are managed beyond book-lending services and connected to local needs. This article transforms a qualitative thesis on TBM Gubug Pintar in Semanu, Gunungkidul, into a journal-style manuscript. The study aimed to analyze the activity-based management strategy of TBM Gubug Pintar, describe its empowerment outcomes, and identify supporting and inhibiting factors. A descriptive qualitative approach was used with TBM managers, volunteers, activity participants, community leaders, and local government representatives as information sources. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation, and were validated using source and method triangulation. The findings show that TBM Gubug Pintar applies a participatory management cycle consisting of planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling. These functions are operationalized through basic literacy classes, Sinau Bareng, religious and character education, entrepreneurship training, digital literacy activities, local product development, environmental literacy, and arts and cultural preservation. The strategy contributes to improved literacy practices, stronger family economic creativity, cultural continuity, and social solidarity. The main supporting factors are volunteer commitment, community participation, government support, and multisector partnerships, whereas the main constraints are limited facilities, operational funding, digital infrastructure, and volunteer regeneration. The article argues that activity-based TBM management is a promising model for integrating literacy, skills development, and rural community empowerment.

Abstract

Rapid and accurate triage is essential in disaster response because victim classification determines the priority of evacuation and life-saving treatment. However, community disaster volunteers often have limited opportunities to practice triage under realistic conditions. This study examined the effect of simulation-based START (Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment) triage training on the speed and accuracy of disaster victim classification among Tagana personnel in Sukabumi City, Indonesia. A pre-experimental one-group pretest-post-test design was used. Thirty-one Tagana personnel participated in a three-day START triage simulation program. Data were collected through participatory observation using five disaster-victim case scenarios. The observation checklist assessed whether each participant classified victims within the START time standard of less than 60 seconds and whether the color-coded triage decision was accurate. Descriptive statistics, Shapiro-Wilk normality tests, and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were used to analyze the data. The mean speed score increased from 58.71 before training to 98.06 after training, while the mean accuracy score increased from 40.00 to 84.52. Before training, only 29.0% of participants reached the good category for speed and 25.8% reached the good category for accuracy. After the simulation, all participants reached the good category for both outcomes. Wilcoxon testing showed significant improvements in speed (Z = -4.849, p < .001, r = .871) and accuracy (Z = -4.842, p < .001, r = .870). These findings indicate that simulation-based START training can substantially strengthen the practical triage competence of community disaster volunteers. The program is recommended as a recurring capacity-building strategy for Tagana and other non-medical disaster-response volunteers.
