Abstract

Building community economic independence is a strategic priority for achieving inclusive and sustainable development, particularly in developing regions where access to economic resources remains unequal. This study aims to develop a conceptual framework that integrates capacity-building training and micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) development as key drivers of community economic empowerment. The research employs a qualitative approach based on systematic literature review and conceptual synthesis to identify the main variables and relationships influencing economic independence. The findings indicate that capacity-building training plays a fundamental role in enhancing entrepreneurial capacity, including knowledge, skills, attitudes, and self-efficacy. This improvement subsequently contributes to MSME development, reflected in increased productivity, innovation, business growth, and financial performance. Furthermore, the relationship between capacity building and MSME development is strengthened by mediating factors such as social capital, mentoring, and institutional support, which facilitate collaboration and resource accessibility. External factors, including government policies, access to finance, and digitalization, also influence the effectiveness of these relationships. The study concludes that community economic independence is achieved through a comprehensive and integrated process involving internal capacity development and external ecosystem support. The proposed conceptual framework provides both theoretical and practical contributions by offering a systematic approach to designing sustainable community empowerment programs.

Abstract

The role of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in strengthening community economic independence has become increasingly important, particularly in developing countries. However, many MSMEs still face challenges related to limited managerial capacity, low financial literacy, and ineffective business strategies. This study aims to analyze the effect of capacity-building training services on community economic independence, with MSME development strategies acting as a mediating variable. A quantitative approach was employed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) to test the relationships among variables. The results indicate that capacity-building training services have a significant positive effect on MSME development strategies and community economic independence. Furthermore, MSME development strategies significantly influence economic independence, demonstrating their role in improving business performance and sustainability. The mediation analysis reveals that MSME development strategies partially mediate the relationship between training services and economic independence, indicating that training becomes more effective when translated into practical business strategies. This study highlights the importance of integrating training programs with strategic implementation to achieve sustainable economic outcomes. The findings provide both theoretical and practical contributions by emphasizing the role of strategy as a key mechanism in transforming capacity building into economic independence. Therefore, policymakers and practitioners are encouraged to design training programs that focus not only on knowledge transfer but also on the development of actionable business strategies.

Abstract

Appropriate technology has emerged as a strategic approach to address community development challenges, particularly in resource-constrained environments. However, many technology-based initiatives fail due to a mismatch between proposed solutions and actual community needs, as well as limited integration of local potential and participation. This study aims to develop a conceptual framework for appropriate technology that is grounded in community needs, local resources, and participatory principles. The study adopts a qualitative and conceptual approach by synthesizing findings from previous literature related to community-based development and appropriate technology. The framework is structured through three main stages: identifying community needs, analyzing local potential and resources, and designing appropriate technology based on user-centered and context-based principles. In addition, the framework incorporates participatory processes and multi-stakeholder collaboration to enhance implementation effectiveness. The results indicate that appropriate technology designed with simplicity, affordability, and adaptability can improve relevance, usability, and sustainability. The integration of local materials, skills, and cultural values strengthens community self-reliance, while participatory approaches foster ownership and increase adoption. Furthermore, the proposed framework demonstrates potential impacts on both economic and social dimensions, including increased productivity, expanded economic opportunities, improved skills, and stronger community engagement. In conclusion, this study highlights that appropriate technology should be viewed not only as a technical solution but also as a strategic tool for empowering communities and supporting sustainable development. A holistic approach that integrates local context, resources, and participation is essential to ensure long-term success and scalability.

Abstract

The transformation of scientific innovation into real technological solutions remains a critical challenge in bridging the gap between research and societal impact. This study aims to analyze how innovation evolves from laboratory-based knowledge creation to widespread societal adoption through a systematic literature review. The research identifies key stages in the innovation transformation process, including knowledge creation, technology transfer, research commercialization, and innovation diffusion, and examines how these stages interact within a broader innovation ecosystem. The findings reveal that innovation transformation is a non-linear and dynamic process influenced by multiple factors, including institutional support, policy frameworks, and digital transformation. Technology transfer and knowledge exchange serve as essential mechanisms that connect scientific research with industrial application, while commercialization enables the translation of innovations into market-ready solutions. Furthermore, innovation diffusion determines the extent to which these solutions are adopted and generate economic and social value. The study also highlights the growing role of digital technologies, particularly artificial intelligence, in accelerating innovation processes and enhancing collaboration across sectors. However, the effectiveness of these technologies depends on organizational readiness and ecosystem alignment. Overall, the research proposes a holistic perspective on innovation transformation, emphasizing the importance of integrating technological, institutional, and societal dimensions to achieve sustainable and impactful outcomes.

Abstract

Innovation plays a crucial role in improving community welfare by enhancing economic productivity, expanding access to essential services, and fostering social development. However, despite the growing body of research on innovation, a significant gap remains between research outcomes and their practical implementation. This study aims to evaluate the research–implementation gap and analyze how innovation impacts community welfare through a systematic literature review approach. The study synthesizes findings from various academic sources to identify key themes, including the impact of technological and social innovation, barriers to implementation, and strategies to bridge the gap between research and practice. The results indicate that while innovation has strong potential to improve welfare, its effectiveness is often limited by factors such as inadequate infrastructure, low technological literacy, lack of institutional support, and misalignment between research outputs and real-world needs. Additionally, implementation challenges arise from organizational resistance, policy constraints, and insufficient collaboration among stakeholders. The findings also highlight that successful innovation implementation requires an integrated approach involving multiple actors, including governments, academia, industry, and communities. Strategies such as strengthening collaboration, promoting evidence-based policymaking, enhancing community capacity, and developing adaptive evaluation frameworks are essential to ensure that innovation can be effectively translated into practice. In conclusion, bridging the research–implementation gap is critical to maximizing the benefits of innovation for community welfare. Future research should focus on developing practical frameworks and context-specific strategies to support sustainable innovation adoption and implementation.

Abstract

Household waste remains one of the most persistent environmental problems in Indonesia, with domestic waste contributing more than half of the nation's total waste generation. Waste banks (bank sampah) have been widely promoted as a community-based solution that combines waste separation with economic incentives, yet many existing programs struggle with low and inconsistent community participation, largely due to manual, non-transparent recording systems and limited financial management skills among members. This community service program was implemented in Sukamanah Village, Cianjur Regency, West Java, with the objective of establishing a community-based waste bank integrated with a low-cost, WhatsApp-and-Google-Sheets-based digital recording system, combined with structured financial literacy training for housewives (ibu rumah tangga) as the primary participants. Unlike previous digital waste bank initiatives that rely on dedicated mobile applications requiring stable internet infrastructure and intensive technical training, this program offers a low-technology, replicable model suited to villages with limited digital literacy. The program was implemented through a participatory action research approach across four stages: preparation, socialization, training and implementation, and monitoring-evaluation, involving 42 housewives as active participants over an eight-week operational period. Results indicated a significant increase in participants' knowledge of waste segregation, the 3R concept, and basic financial management (pre-test mean 54.3; post-test mean 84.6), an active participation rate of 83%, a cumulative diverted waste volume of 612.4 kilograms, and total member savings of IDR 3,845,000. The integration of digital recording and financial literacy training strengthened transparency, trust, and continuity of member participation compared with conventional manually managed waste banks. This study contributes a practical, low-cost, and replicable model for sustainable community-based waste management that can be adapted by other rural and peri-urban villages in Indonesia facing similar infrastructural and financial-literacy constraints.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), locally known as UMKM, contribute more than 61% of Indonesia's Gross Domestic Product and absorb approximately 97% of the national workforce (Kementerian Koperasi dan Usaha Kecil dan Menengah Republik Indonesia, 2024; Kementerian UMKM Republik Indonesia, 2025), yet a large proportion of business owners still struggle to produce professional promotional content because of limited digital design skills, time, and budget. This community service program addressed that gap by delivering a structured Canva-based digital content design training to 30 MSME actors in Kelurahan Hegarsari, Kecamatan Pataruman, Kota Banjar, West Java. Unlike most previous Canva-training community service reports, which generally evaluate outcomes through a single pretest-posttest knowledge score, this program introduced two additional evaluation instruments: a five-indicator Visual Branding Consistency (VBC) rubric to assess the strategic quality of participants' design outputs, and a four-week post-training monitoring phase tracking participants' actual social media posting frequency and engagement performance. The training was designed using the ADDIE instructional model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) and interpreted through Diffusion of Innovation theory (Rogers, 2003) and the Technology Acceptance Model (Davis, 1989). Results showed a statistically significant increase in mean knowledge score from pretest (52.4) to posttest (81.7), t(29) = 14.62, p < .001; an average Visual Branding Consistency score of 78.3 out of 100; and, during the four-week follow-up, a 143% increase in weekly content-posting frequency together with a rise in the average engagement rate from 1.6% to 4.9%. These findings indicate that combining hands-on Canva training with a structured branding-consistency assessment and short-term post-training assistance produces more durable digital-marketing capacity among MSME actors than a single training session evaluated only through immediate knowledge gain. The program offers a replicable, low-cost model that other community service teams and local governments can adapt to accelerate MSME digitalization in similar semi-urban districts of Indonesia.

Abstract

Shoreline position responds to waves, currents, tides, and sediment transport, and increasingly to human activity along the coast. Pramuka Island, the administrative centre of the Seribu Islands Regency, is often assumed to be losing land to erosion. We tested that assumption by analysing shoreline change from 2016 to 2026 along the island's four principal sides (north, east, south, and west), locating the most dynamic sector, and asking whether the observed change is natural or human-induced. Shorelines were extracted from 89 Landsat 8 OLI, Landsat 9 OLI-2, and Sentinel-2 Level-2A scenes obtained through Google Earth Engine (cloud cover below 40%) with the Modified Normalized Difference Water Index (MNDWI) and the CoastSat toolkit for multitemporal sub-pixel detection. We quantified change with the Net Shoreline Movement (NSM) and the linear regression rate (LRR), and judged significance against a detection accuracy of about 10 m. The natural coast proved to be largely stable. The north (NSM −3.3 m) and south (NSM +2.7 m) changed within measurement uncertainty, and the west accreted only slightly (NSM +16.0 m, about +1.2 m yr⁻¹). Substantial change occurred on the east side alone (NSM +106 m, about +10 m yr⁻¹), where a step-like jump in 2018–2019 coincides with the construction of coastal structures (a jetty and breakwater) and is partly an artefact of unstable detection over the reef flat rather than natural accretion. Shoreline behaviour on Pramuka Island is therefore governed by localised human intervention, not by widespread erosion. The MNDWI–CoastSat workflow is well suited to shoreline monitoring when its uncertainty is reported honestly.

Abstract

Waste management remains a persistent environmental challenge in rural areas of Indonesia, particularly in Sukaresik Village, Sukaresik District, Tasikmalaya Regency, West Java. This community service study documents and analyzes an integrated waste management intervention implemented by Student’s Community Service Program or also known as KKN (Kuliah Kerja Nyata) of Universitas Padjadjaran in July–August 2026. The program encompassed two complementary initiatives: (1) ecobrick creation workshops targeting Class X students at SMKN Sukaresik, and (2) installation of communal waste receptacles (hong/buis beton) in the hamlets of Sindangharja and Sukamanah. A participatory action approach was employed, combining educational sessions with direct community involvement. Results indicate that the ecobrick program successfully transformed plastic waste into functional school furniture including desks, chairs, waste bins, plant pots, and decorative items, while simultaneously imparting knowledge of the 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) principles to 25 students. The hong installation program equipped two critical waste-prone locations with concrete waste receptacles accompanied by informational signage and community clean-up activities. The program demonstrated that integrated, dual-track interventions combining educational outreach with tangible infrastructure provision are effective in addressing localized waste management challenges in rural settings. Sustainability of outcomes hinges on continued stakeholder participation, school follow-through, and local government monitoring.
