Abstract

The practice of online gambling in Indonesia is increasingly alarming due to its ease of access and massive dissemination through various digital platforms. This practice poses detrimental social and economic impacts, such as financial problems, family breakdown, and psychological disorders, and presents regulatory challenges in its eradication. This community service activity employed socialization and interactive discussion methods involving the community and legislators, aiming to raise awareness about the risks of online gambling and provide information on how to address potential dependence or addiction. Furthermore, this activity presented current data regarding the efforts of the Ministry of Communication and Informatics in cutting off access to online gambling sites. The results of the activity indicated that participants gained a better understanding of the types and risks of online gambling and the necessary steps to take if trapped, as measured by a 70% increase in post-test scores. In conclusion, close collaboration between the community and the government plays a crucial role in combating the growing prevalence of online gambling in Indonesia.

Abstract

Rapid population growth in DKI Jakarta has led to increased territorial density, resulting in a growing number of slums and a housing gap in the availability of decent housing. One of the main challenges in urban planning is the unavailability of accurate and up-to-date data on Unfit-for-Habitation Houses (RTLH), which is still based on sampling methods. Therefore, the primary objective of this community service activity is to develop an efficient data update framework, enabling the Department of Public Housing and Settlement Areas (DPRKP) to update data in real-time without the need for extensive re-surveys. The implementation method involved outreach to the Sub-Department of Public Housing and Settlement Areas (PRKP) across various administrative regions of Jakarta, followed by question-and-answer sessions and discussions. The results indicate that the developed data update framework can enhance the accuracy and efficiency of RTLH information management, thereby supporting more effective data-driven decision-making for the local government.
