Abstract

Digital transformation has become an essential requirement for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to enhance their competitiveness and business sustainability. However, most MSMEs in Tanggilingo Village, Bone Bolango Regency, continue to face several challenges, including limited adoption of digital technologies, inadequate product visual identity, and reliance on manual administrative management. This community service program aimed to strengthen Tanggilingo Village’s identity as a creative village through the digitalization of promotion and management practices among home-based MSMEs. The program employed a participatory approach consisting of MSME needs assessment, AI-based product rebranding training, content curation and digitalization, development of a Point of Sales (POS)-based platform, and user acceptance evaluation of the developed system. The results showed that 30 MSMEs were engaged in the program. The rebranding training resulted in the creation of 26 new logo designs and four alternative packaging designs, while the content curation process successfully documented all participating products and business profiles. Furthermore, the developed digital platform effectively accommodated the partners’ needs related to transaction recording, product management, inventory control, business reporting, and digital promotion. User evaluation demonstrated a high level of acceptance, with average scores of 90% for ease of use, 92% for perceived usefulness, and 95% for user satisfaction. The program contributed positively to improving digital capacity, strengthening product identity, and promoting more structured business management practices. Moreover, the integrated digital platform has the potential to support the development of a local MSME ecosystem and reinforce Tanggilingo Village’s identity as a creative village driven by local economic potential.

Abstract

Conventional and paper-based data management in rural areas often leads to suboptimal public transparency and slow dissemination of regional potential. This Impact KKN program aims to empower village officials in transforming data governance through the self-managed Village Digital Profile (PRODIGDES) website in Botutonuo Village, Bone Bolango Regency. The implementation employs a participatory empowerment approach, including village consultations, collaborative data collection, intensive one-on-one mentoring, and partner independence evaluation. This program successfully converted analog monograph data into a centralized digital portal featuring demographic infographics, APBDes budget transparency, social assistance distribution, and visualization of marine tourism and local MSMEs. Evaluation results show a notable improvement in digital literacy capacity, as village officials are now able to independently update and manage content without student supervision. This platform effectively stimulates public trust while mitigating the risk of a "zombie website." In conclusion, PRODIGDES has successfully achieved the target of sustainable village data management modernization.

Abstract

Fishery product processing is one of the strategic approaches to increasing the added value of fishery commodities while strengthening the economic resilience of coastal communities. As one of the main fishery commodities, mackerel tuna (Euthynnus affinis) has considerable potential to be processed into value-added food products, including fish crackers. This study aimed to produce high-quality mackerel tuna crackers and to analyze the production process and production costs as an alternative for developing fishery-based small-scale enterprises. The methods employed included the preparation of tools and materials, cleaning and grinding the fish meat, mixing the ingredients, shaping the dough, frying, packaging, direct observation of the production process, and production cost analysis. The results showed that the mackerel tuna crackers had a uniform stick shape, an attractive golden-brown color, a savory taste, a distinctive fish aroma, and a crispy texture, indicating that the product is suitable for consumption and has promising market potential. The total production cost for one production cycle was IDR 116,000, suggesting that the business can be established with relatively affordable capital. In addition to increasing the added value of fishery products, processing mackerel tuna into crackers can extend product shelf life, create new business opportunities, and improve the income of coastal communities. Therefore, the development of mackerel tuna cracker enterprises should be supported through capacity building, the adoption of improved processing technologies, innovative packaging, and strengthened business management to enhance product competitiveness and promote sustainable community economic empowerment.

Abstract

Lake Limboto is a strategic freshwater ecosystem in Gorontalo Province whose declining water quality, driven by sedimentation, water hyacinth proliferation, and domestic waste, threatens fisheries productivity and the welfare of surrounding communities, particularly in Bulota Village, Telaga Jaya District. Coastal residents in this area have limited knowledge and technical capacity to monitor water quality independently. This community engagement program therefore aimed to build local capacity for participatory water quality monitoring and to strengthen blue economy literacy. Activities included a preliminary field survey, coordination with the village government, technical training and field practice in measuring pH, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), and Dissolved Oxygen (DO), formation of a village monitoring group, and development of manual and digital logbooks. Measurements at three observation stations around Lake Limboto showed pH, TDS, and DO values within the Class III water quality standard for fisheries. Participants gained the ability to operate simple monitoring instruments and record data systematically, and a village-based monitoring group was established as an institutional foundation for continued, community-driven monitoring. Community empowerment through participatory water quality monitoring and blue economy literacy is therefore an effective strategy for supporting the long-term sustainability of Lake Limboto and the welfare of its coastal communities.

Abstract

The development of information and communication technology has opened opportunities for using digital devices as flexible and engaging learning resources for school-age children. However, Android-based smartphone ownership among children in Poowo Barat Village, Kabila Subdistrict, remains oriented more towards entertainment than learning activities due to limited knowledge of suitable educational applications. This community service program aims to improve the knowledge, skills, and motivation of school-age children in utilizing Android-based multimedia learning as an effective learning resource. The program was implemented through a participatory training and mentoring approach across three stages: preparation, implementation (socialization, demonstration, and hands-on practice), and evaluation using observation sheets and questionnaire. The results showed an improvement in participants' knowledge and skills in accessing, selecting, and operating Android-based learning applications. The program contributed to strengthening digital literacy and fostering independent learning habits among school-age children. It is concluded that training in the use of Android-based multimedia learning is an effective strategy for strengthening technology-based learning resources at the community level.

Abstract

This community service aims to identify the characteristics of various types of waste based on the physical properties of livestock and slaughterhouse activities in Suka Damai Village, North Bulango District, Bone Bolango Regency, Gorontalo Province. The observational descriptive method was used to analyze the characteristics of waste including shape, color, odor, origin, and nature of waste. The identification results showed that livestock solid waste consists of livestock manure with different characteristics between types: cow manure with a water content of 75-85%, goat manure with a water content of 60-70%, and chicken manure mixed with urine with a high ammonia content. Liquid waste includes urine with a BOD of 2000-5000 mg/L and cage washing water, while slaughterhouse waste shows the most complex characteristics with blood (BOD up to 150,000-200,000 mg/L), rumen contents, and washing water with a COD of 4000-15000 mg/L. Identification of appropriate waste characteristics is crucial for determining appropriate waste management strategies to minimize environmental impacts and maximize the potential for resource utilization with sustainable principles. Integrated waste management based on its characteristics can minimize negative impacts, improve occupational health and safety, and provide added economic value for business actors.

Abstract

Luwoo Village, Telaga Jaya Subdistrict, Gorontalo Regency is a major tomato-producing area, with approximately 35 hectares under cultivation and an average yield of 10-12 tons per hectare per harvest season. Because tomatoes are highly perishable due to their high moisture content, market oversupply during peak harvest frequently drives prices below IDR 20,000 per 7-kg sack, leaving a considerable share of the harvest to rot. This condition is compounded by farmers' limited knowledge of and access to postharvest processing technology, so that tomatoes are sold almost exclusively as fresh produce without any derivative diversification. This community service program aimed to strengthen the knowledge and skills of the Luwoo Village community in converting surplus tomatoes into “tomato dates” (kurma tomat), a shelf-stable candied product with higher economic value, through hands-on training in sorting, blanching, sugar-syrup cooking, and drying, complemented by micro-enterprise management and marketing mentoring. The activity was conducted in August 2025 in Luwoo Village and involved 24 participants drawn from the Farmer Women's Group (KWT) and village youth. The implementation method comprised community socialization, technical production training, provision of simple processing equipment, business management and branding training, digital and conventional marketing training, and an evaluation based on pre-tests and post-tests measured against predetermined success criteria. The results show a marked improvement in participants' understanding of tomato postharvest processing techniques, with average knowledge scores rising from the “poor” to the “good” category, and the successful production of a branded product, “Kurmato Luwoo,” packaged under hygienic conditions. Most participants were able to produce tomato dates that met the targeted quality standard. The program is expected to reduce the economic losses caused by tomato spoilage, strengthen the institutional capacity of the farmer and youth groups, and support the national food-security agenda through the development of local potential.

Abstract

Extreme poverty remains a critical and systemic issue in regional development paradigms, prominently within Bone Bolango Regency. Although the aggregate number of poor residents has shown a marginally declining trend, the poverty depth and severity indexes have paradoxically increased over the past two years, indicating growing inequality. Bubeya Village, situated in Suwawa District, epitomizes this socioeconomic challenge with major hurdles encompassing the low level of family economic empowerment, sub-optimal utilization of natural resources, and the fragile capacity of local institutions. The Community Service Program (Kuliah Kerja Nyata / KKN) Thematic Phase II of Universitas Negeri Gorontalo was strategically implemented utilizing the Community Based Development (CBD) approach, a methodology that strictly emphasizes active community participation as the central actor of sustainable development. The interventions were methodically executed through four primary stages, preparation, implementation, evaluation, and follow-up, actively engaging residents, village officials, and marginalized community groups. The program was deliberately focused on two interrelated pillars: bolstering the local economic resilience through the innovative utilization of natural resources and proactively preventing social impediments, particularly the prevalent issue of early marriage. A cornerstone of the economic innovation introduced was the extraction and utilization of lemongrass and lemon leaves to manufacture high-quality aromatherapy candles. This specific product was positioned as a tangible model illustrating how raw agricultural outputs can be effectively processed into value-added commodities with broader, lucrative market opportunities. Concurrently, the prevention of early marriage was comprehensively addressed through interactive socio-educational discussions in collaboration with BKKBN, highlighting the absolute necessity of higher education, economic independence, and youth preparedness for future challenges. Through these multifaceted activities, the Bubeya Village community acquired a renewed perspective that effective poverty alleviation strategies must inherently amalgamate economic growth initiatives with the fundamental improvement of human capital quality. Ultimately, this program has generated a dual-impact framework: stimulating local MSME growth through novel business opportunities while simultaneously cultivating profound social awareness regarding the detrimental impacts of early marriage. These comprehensive outcomes are projected to serve as a foundational catalyst towards an inclusive and sustainable community independence.

Abstract

This community service project is titled “Improving the Quality of School Services Through the Digitization of Graduation Announcements for Fast and Accurate Access to Information at SMP Negeri 1 Kabila Gorontalo.” This program was implemented in response to the challenges faced by our partner in managing graduation announcement services. Prior to the implementation of this community service activity, the existing system had limitations in providing fast, stable, and integrated information services, which potentially hindered the delivery of information to students. Additionally, the administrative management of graduation announcements was not supported by a centralized system, and the competencies of teachers and administrative staff in operating web-based information systems still needed to be improved. To address these issues, the community service team developed and implemented the SMP Negeri 1 Kabila Graduation Status Check Website, built on the Laravel framework. The website features graduation status checks using the National Student Identification Number (NISN), student data management, bulk data import, scheduling of announcement publication, and an administrator dashboard. The implementation of this technology was supported by outreach activities, training, and mentoring for teachers and administrative staff to enable them to operate and manage the system independently. In addition, the community service team also compiled a user guide for the website as a medium to support the transfer of science and technology (IPTEK). The results of the activities showed that the “Cek Kelulusan” website was successfully implemented as the official medium for announcing graduation results at SMP Negeri 1 Kabila. The developed system has improved the efficiency of administrative management for graduation announcements, facilitated students’ access to information, and enhanced the digital competencies of teachers and administrative staff in operating web-based information systems. The outcomes of the project include the “Cek Kelulusan” website, a user guide for the system, capacity building for partner human resources, and the establishment of partnerships that support the sustainability of the school’s digital transformation. Thus, this community service project has made a tangible contribution to improving the quality of educational services through the effective, efficient, and sustainable use of information technology at SMP Negeri 1 Kabila.
