Abstract

This community service activity focuses on the planning and design of the renovation of the Sabilul Muttaqin Mosque in Perum Gemilang, Samarinda City. The main objective is to enhance the capacity and aesthetics of the mosque through the expansion of interior spaces, the renewal of a more modern exterior facade, and the replacement of the dome. The method used is a participatory approach, involving the Mosque Committee (DKM) in every stage of planning. The results of field observations and in-depth interviews indicate the need for a flexible multi-functional space and a facade design that combines traditional and contemporary values. The technical drawing documents produced are expected to serve as a reference for the realization of the mosque renovation. The contribution of this activity is expected to provide direct benefits to the congregation and the surrounding community and to serve as a model for mosque renovation planning involving the community.

Abstract

Wori Village, located in the buffer zone of the Likupang Tourism Special Economic Zone (KEK), requires development of both its natural and human resources. Natural resource optimization can be achieved through diversification, specifically by producing liquid soap from the nipah plant. Human resource development necessitates increased public awareness of skin health and personal hygiene. This Community Service aimed to educate the Wori Village community on personal hygiene and provide a practical solution for reducing skin diseases through the use of antibacterial liquid soap. The methodology comprised socialization, training, technology application, mentoring, evaluation, and plans for program sustainability. The resulting NIPALS soap met quality standards, exhibiting a pH of 7. Evaluation demonstrated a 96.7% increase in participants' knowledge of personal hygiene and soap-making (pre-test vs. post-test). Furthermore, 95.5% of participants expressed satisfaction with the soap (4.5% considered it average). Positive user experiences included a 97% absence of itching, 76.7% reporting a tightening effect, and 70% noting moisturization. These results, supported by positive hedonic test results, confirm the successful production of liquid soap by the participants.

Abstract

The community of Keude Birem Village lacked sufficient skills and knowledge in ecoprinting, a natural dyeing method using leaves and flowers. This limited economic opportunities and awareness of environmental conservation through the utilization of local resources. Therefore, this community service program aimed to enhance the skills and knowledge of Keude Birem villagers in ecoprinting techniques and introduce appropriate technology to improve efficiency and productivity. The training involved two main techniques: ecoprint pounding and steaming, along with the introduction of a simple steaming device. Participants were trained to create various ecoprinted products on fabric and bags, utilizing local resources such as mangrove, mango, and teak leaves. The program resulted in improved technical skills among participants, leading to higher-quality ecoprinted products with increased market value, enhanced production efficiency, and heightened awareness of environmental conservation through the sustainable use of natural dyes and local resources.

Abstract

Culinary MSMEs (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises) in Legok Village face challenges in managing energy consumption efficiently, resulting in higher operational costs. These challenges are due to a lack of tools to monitor energy use and limited knowledge of advanced energy management practices. To address this, this program aims to enhance the understanding of culinary MSME managers in Legok Village about energy efficiency and its practical application by introducing commercially available IoT-based monitoring devices. These devices allow them to track and manage electricity consumption in their culinary businesses effectively. The methods used include theoretical presentations, tool demonstrations, practical exercises, and technology transfer. Evaluation results show that this training is highly effective and increases partner knowledge. Feedback from participants emphasizes the need for improved security, better practicality, and the addition of features such as peak watt monitoring.

Abstract

The increasing number of motorized vehicles in Indonesia has resulted in the accumulation of used tire waste, which is difficult to recycle or decompose. Crumb rubber, as a recycled product made from used tire waste, has great potential for use in various innovative applications. This activity program is partnered with the Repro UMKM group located in Nongko Lanang Hamlet, Wonolopo, Mijen District, Semarang City. The purpose of this community service is to implement innovative technology for processing used tire waste into crumb rubber as an industrial raw material for making high-quality products. The implementation of this program includes the fabrication of machines for crumb rubber production and providing technological education about the operation of the machines to the partners. Through this activity, partners are given the knowledge and skills needed to run the production process. The results of implementing crumb rubber technology provide significant benefits in terms of the economy, environment, and society. Economically, recycling used tire waste produces crumb rubber, which can increase partner income, with a market price of around IDR 65,000/kg. From an environmental perspective, crumb rubber offers a solution to the problem of used tire waste, reducing long-term negative impacts. On the social aspect, crumb rubber production activities create new jobs for business actors and communities that contribute to the provision of used tire waste.
