The methods employed include lectures, discussions, and demonstrations by the facilitator, followed by re-demonstrations by the participants for evaluation. Knowledge was assessed using a questionnaire administered before and after the training. The evaluation results indicate a t-test significance value of 0.000 with p ≤ 0.05, suggesting an improvement in the understanding and knowledge of elementary school UKGS teachers after attending the training.

Abstract

Climate change, which causes increased temperatures, prolonged droughts, and dry conditions, heightens the risk of land fires. A similar scenario unfolded in Aunupe Village, where several fires occurred on agricultural land over the past three years, resulting in crop failure and degraded soil quality, leading to financial losses for land-owning farmers. To mitigate the risk of land fire disasters, an agricultural land fire disaster risk management information system is necessary in Aunupe Village, South Konawe Regency. The objective of this community-based empowerment program is to mitigate the risk of land fire disasters. To achieve the desired outcomes, initial coordination with farmer group partners is conducted, followed by the design and installation of fire sensor equipment sets in collaboration with farmer groups. Furthermore, focus group discussions (FGD) are conducted with farmer group partners to ensure their understanding and cooperation. The activities result in the development of an agricultural land fire risk management information system, facilitating the prompt detection, monitoring, and response to fire incidents in the agricultural land of the Lembah Harapan Farmers Group. Additionally, farmer group partners acquire knowledge regarding the utilization of fire mitigation systems.

Abstract

In the strategic plan of the DIY Environmental Service (DLH), it is emphasized that to reduce waste accumulation in TPSTs, waste sorting at the upstream level, such as households, is crucial. However, the issue persists at this level, as observed in boarding school-based institutions like the SahabatQu Islamic Boarding School in Sleman Regency, DIY. The negative repercussions of this problem include a decline in the quality of life and health among students. This service initiative aims to enhance the skills of students by cultivating maggots using organic waste sorted from the school's waste. The approach involves socialization, practical training, and mentoring. The outcome of this activity is an improvement in the knowledge and skills of SahabatQu Islamic Boarding School students in raising maggots to the pre-pupae stage, with some successfully reaching the phase of becoming BSF flies and entering the mating process.

Abstract

Among the various potential gardens in Pekon Bumiratu, Pagelaran District, Pringsewu Regency, coconut plants stand out. However, the processing of coconut produce by farmers is suboptimal, as the coconut yield is typically consumed or sold without undergoing processing. This is primarily due to the limited knowledge and skills of local farmers regarding coconut processing and its derivatives. This activity aims to enhance the knowledge and skills of coconut farmers in processing coconuts into Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) using a non-heating method. The activities involved a combination of lecture methods and practical demonstrations. The VCO produced during the activities underwent laboratory analysis to assess its quality. The results of the activity indicate a significant increase in understanding by 61.6%. This suggests a substantial improvement in public knowledge regarding the processing of coconuts into VCO. Laboratory analysis of the VCO produced by the participants revealed a water content of 0.18%, an iodine value of 8,150 g iod/100g, a free fatty acid content of 0.17%, and a peroxide value of 1.32 mg/Kg Ek. These results align with the quality standards outlined in SNI 7381-2008 for VCO.

Abstract

The RW. 02 in Duri Kepa Village, Kebon Jeruk District, West Jakarta, is a densely populated region situated close to the market, where frequent floods occur. The market area is marred by indiscriminate rubbish disposal, and it has been used as a temporary landfill, leading to a buildup of waste, unpleasant odors, and triggering floods. Community service activities aim to enhance residents' awareness and knowledge of waste management. These activities involve outreach and education conducted for RW residents in Duri Kepa Village. Posters and brochures are distributed from house to house, complemented by lectures and discussions. Analysis of pre-test and post-test results on 70 participants reveals that the socialization and education efforts successfully increased knowledge about waste management by 24.99 points.

Abstract

Smartphones are devices equipped with numerous fascinating features, leading people to become increasingly attached to and dependent on this technology. However, in Gunung Village, there are still relatively few individuals who can utilize this medium for profitable production.
