Abstract

Waste is a crucial issue that must be addressed, especially by the government. Although waste is a particular concern, the reality is that it is not being managed properly. Waste remains an unresolved problem. Almost every day, people produce waste and it is mixed together from various types of waste. The accumulation of waste will cause various problems, such as flooding, ecosystem damage, and poor water sanitation. The purpose of this community service is to provide socialization about an effective waste management system, including the decomposition of organic and inorganic waste and the distribution of trash cans. Because the community service sees that one of the main factors that causes villagers to throw waste in the river is the lack of trash cans in several places frequently visited by the community. The method of implementing this PKM is initial implementation, socialization, distribution of trash cans, monitoring and evaluation with an emphasis on solving the problem, namely the lack of literacy and public awareness about waste. The conclusion of this community service is to create a clean environment free of waste that will have a positive impact on the community and the surrounding environment so that the community can realize the importance of managing waste that can generate economic value. It is hoped that this activity can increase and encourage public thinking about the benefits that can be generated by the presence of trash cans, waste management, and literacy that has been provided to the community.

Abstract

Pertumbuhan populasi lansia di Kabupaten Sukoharjo menunjukkan urgensi akan penguatan kapasitas edukasi yang inklusif dan berkelanjutan. Program Sekolah Lansia Salimah (Salsa) yang diinisiasi oleh PD Salimah Sukoharjo mengalami keterbatasan pelaksanaan akibat minimnya fasilitator yang terlatih. Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk mengoptimalisasi peran fasilitator melalui intervensi terstruktur berupa sosialisasi, edukasi, pelatihan, kunjungan lapangan, pendampingan, monitoring dan evaluasi. Metode partisipatif berbasis komunitas diterapkan, melibatkan 12 Pimpinan Cabang (PC) Salimah sebagai sasaran utama. Hasil evaluasi pre-test dan post-test menunjukkan peningkatan pengetahuan peserta secara signifikan (p < 0.001), disertai pembentukan unit Salsa aktif di wilayah Bendosari. Tim fasilitator terbentuk di seluruh PC, dilengkapi dengan modul pelatihan dan didampingi secara daring pasca kegiatan. Program ini berkontribusi terhadap peningkatan kapasitas komunitas dalam penyelenggaraan pembelajaran lansia yang sehat, mandiri, dan produktif, serta mendukung capaian Indikator Kinerja Utama (IKU) perguruan tinggi.

Abstract

Agriculture, livestock, and fisheries are key sectors that support the economic life of the majority of the Purwosari village community. They face environmental and social vulnerabilities, while also facing economic vulnerability. This is achieved by transforming traditional technologies currently used by the community to increase fisheries yields and downstream marketing through Free Nutritional Meal Kitchens (MBG) in the surrounding Wonogiri area. Strengthening village human resource development through the empowerment of Appropriate Technology (PTTG) in Purwosari Village, Wonogiri, aims to encourage energy independence in the economic activities of community groups. This includes strengthening the human resources of the Purwosari village community health post (Posyantek) for the construction of 200W solar cell TTGs and 2000W converters, solar-powered pond water pumps, and the construction of aquaculture ponds; and for freshwater fisheries. In general, the assembly of solar-powered water pump models can be adapted to field conditions and market availability. The core of this assembly is converting the electricity supply from the state electricity company (PLN) into electricity from natural sources (sunlight). The necessary equipment includes: Solar panels/solar cells (photovoltaic), controller, inverter, battery, cables, and mounting frame. The life cycle cost calculation for a solar-powered fisheries system at the PSDA Community Group (Pokmas PSDA), with solar-powered pumps and lights, shows a cost efficiency of Rp. 61,600,000 – Rp. 19,665,000 = Rp. 41,935,000 (assuming the equipment's life cycle cost is 10 years), resulting in a cost savings of 67%.   Keywords: Fisheries, PSDA Community Group, Solar Energy, TTG

The main problems faced by partners are traditional financial record keeping, limited access to formal financial services, and low understanding of fintech applications. The implementation method is socialization, training, mentoring, and evaluation through pre-test and post-test. The results of the activity show a significant increase in knowledge and skills of partners in managing finances in a structured manner by utilizing the Qasir application as a digital recording medium, namely 60% where initially only 3 people understood financial technology, after the training, the number increased to 28 people. Supporting factors for this community service activity were the active role of all participants during the implementation, the partners' openness to problems faced, and the existence of clear duties and functions for partners, so that it was easy to coordinate the course of the training, as well as the support of the tribal chief regarding security during the activity. However, there were several obstacles during the implementation, including limited access to electricity, unstable internet, and tribal war during the activity, that required rescheduling and adding training time. The hope is that this activity will foster digital financial management literacy among partners, promote economic independence, and serve as a model for sustainable technology-based MSME empowerment in underserved and underserved regions (3T).

Abstract

Waste remains a major issue in various regions, particularly organic waste. Unmanaged organic waste can cause environmental pollution and contribute to increased greenhouse gas emissions. In line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 12 (Sustainable Consumption and Production) and SDG 13 (Action on Climate Change), innovative solutions are needed to manage organic waste more effectively and efficiently. Waste banks, as environmental advocates, are currently focusing more on managing inorganic waste because it is considered to have greater market value than organic waste. Black Soldier Fly is an alternative in processing organic waste that has economic value. Community service activities aim to strengthen the economy of the community in Demakan Village, Mojolaban District, Sukoharjo Regency through black soldier fly training as an environmentally friendly and sustainable method of managing organic waste. This activity includes outreach, training, and mentoring for waste bank members in Demakan Village, Mojolaban District, Sukoharjo Regency. The black soldier flies produced can be used as alternative feed for the fisheries and poultry sectors, thus supporting the circular economy concept. This activity is expected to raise public awareness of more productive organic waste management, reduce the negative impact of waste on the environment, and create business opportunities based on local resources. Thus, this activity not only contributes to improving community welfare but also accelerates the achievement of the SDGs through more inclusive and sustainable economic development.

Abstract

Sanggang Village is one of the areas where dwarf coconuts are widely planted, managed by the Karya Makmur farmer group (gapoktan). The young coconut trees can be tapped for sap, which can then be processed into palm sugar as an alternative to granulated sugar. However, the farmer group in Sanggang Village still does not understand the potential of coconut sap and its processing. Therefore, the purpose of this community service is to provide understanding and competency to the farmer group in Sanggang Village regarding the development of dwarf coconut sap processing. The target group of the team is the Karya Makmur farmer group, which is responsible for the maintenance and processing of dwarf coconuts. The methods used by the team are training (socialization and practice), application of technology on tapping coconut sap and processing it into palm sugar using several evaluation instruments, such as pre-tests and post-tests, visual observations, and community testimonials. The results of the community service activities show an 80% increase in community understanding regarding coconut sap processing and its economic potential. These results are accompanied by enthusiasm and increased community skills in processing palm sugar into derivative products in the form of cakes. This community service initiative has sparked enthusiasm and enthusiasm in processing and downstreaming dwarf coconuts, creating valuable products and, hopefully, providing a new source of income for the Sanggang Village community. This initiative has the potential to be developed and expanded into a palm sugar-based product marketing venture, which could be implemented in collaboration with the Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDES) in Sanggang Village, specifically for the snack business.
