Community Services is an implementation activity of science, technology and cultural arts directly to the community institutionally through scientific methodology as a translation of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education,as well as the responsibility of scientists in efforts to develop community capacity, so as to accelerate the pace of growth in achieving development goals. So that community services can be done affectively and efficiently, it is necessary to conduct research before and after its implementation. The Scope of Community Service includes the following fields of activity: The development of technological science and art into products that can be directly utilized by the community. Training services, economic empowerment of communities to become independent, and the development of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSME) Dissemination of science, technology and cultural arts is a product that needs to be known and utilized by the community. This effort can be done through various ways such as providing counseling, providing pilots, demonstrating, and publishing media publications. Placement of science and technology correctly and appropriately according to the situation of the people and the demands of development. Providing assistance to the community in identifying problems faced and finding alternative solutions by using a scientific approach. Providing professional services to the community in various problem areas that require careful handling by using expertise and skills that are not yet owned by the community concerned.

Abstract

The rapid diffusion of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud-based data tools is reshaping how educators design instruction and how micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) manage their operations, yet communities outside major urban centers continue to face a compounding digital divide that limits their participation in this transformation. This community service program was designed to strengthen AI and data science literacy among non-formal tutors, MSME actors, and cooperative staff in Cipari Subdistrict, Cilacap Regency, Central Java, through a two-day intensive workshop conducted in partnership with Koperasi UMKM “Bina Mandiri” and the tutoring community “Cerdas Bersama.” Forty-five participants completed a three-session curriculum covering generative AI and prompt engineering, cloud-based data management, and interactive data visualization, delivered through hands-on workshops and small-group mentoring grounded in andragogical (adult-learning) principles. Learning gains were measured with a cognitive pre-test/post-test instrument analyzed using the normalized gain (N-Gain) statistic, while participant reactions were captured with a Likert-scale satisfaction questionnaire. The mean score rose from 42.50 on the pre-test to 84.75 on the post-test, yielding an N-Gain of 0.73, classified as a high-category gain; 88% of participants reported being “very satisfied,” and the hands-on prompt-engineering session received the strongest appreciation (92%). Unlike prior community service studies that address either AI literacy for educators or digital literacy for MSMEs in isolation, the novelty of this program lies in its integrated, cross-sectoral curriculum and mixed-method evaluation design that jointly serves formal-adjacent education actors and informal-economy actors within a single sub-district ecosystem. The findings suggest that a short, intensive, andragogically grounded intervention can produce substantial and satisfying literacy gains even where infrastructural constraints persist, and the paper proposes a replicable model together with recommendations for sustaining these gains through longitudinal mentoring.

Abstract

Household organic waste remains the largest single component of Indonesia's national waste stream, yet community service programs that teach composting rarely evaluate anything beyond participant satisfaction or simple pre-post knowledge scores. This article reports a community service program conducted with 30 housewife participants (members of the Family Welfare Movement, PKK) in Sukamaju Village, Ciamis Regency, West Java, that combined hands-on aerobic composting training with a structured evaluation grounded in the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and a simple circular-economy cost estimation. The program was carried out in four stages: a preparatory needs assessment, socialization, hands-on training in EM4-assisted aerobic bin composting, and a four-week mentoring and monitoring period. Knowledge and the four TPB constructs (attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and intention) were measured before and after the program, household organic waste was weighed before and after mentoring, and compost maturity was judged with a simple temperature, color, odor, and estimated carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) checklist suited to a non-laboratory setting.The results, presented here as a reporting template, show a marked increase in composting knowledge and in all four TPB constructs, a reduction in the volume of organic waste delivered to the temporary disposal point, compost that met basic maturity criteria, and an estimated saving on household plant-nutrition expenditure. By jointly tracking behavioral, technical, and economic indicators, the program offers an evaluation design that has not been used together in the composting-focused community service literature reviewed here, and it is offered as a low-cost, replicable template for similar programs elsewhere in Indonesia.

Abstract

Household organic waste is the largest single component of Indonesia's national waste stream, and more than half of all municipal waste originates from households. Community service programs across Indonesia have responded by introducing household-scale composting technologies, particularly the Takakura method, and typically report favorable knowledge gains and short-term adoption rates. However, most of these programs evaluate success only immediately after training or during a brief mentoring period, leaving it unclear whether the newly adopted composting practice is actually sustained once the intervention team withdraws. This community service program was carried out in Cinunuk Village, Cileunyi District, Bandung Regency, West Java, and combined Takakura composting training with a low-cost Household Composting Monitoring Card and three scheduled follow-up visits at week 2, 4, and 8 to track practice sustainability alongside conventional knowledge and attitude indicators. Thirty housewife cadres participated in a program comprising needs assessment, socialization, hands-on training, monitoring, and evaluation. Results showed a substantial increase in composting knowledge, from a pre-test mean of 54.6 to a post-test mean of 86.3, a sustained Practice Sustainability Compliance rate of 76.7 percent by week eight, and a cumulative household organic waste reduction of approximately 47 percent. Compared with prior composting community service reports that do not track practice beyond the training period, this program demonstrates that a simple, paper-based monitoring instrument can meaningfully extend the durability of household composting behavior at negligible additional cost, offering a replicable model for other rural and peri-urban communities in Indonesia.

Abstract

Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (Perilaku Hidup Bersih dan Sehat/PHBS) remains a persistent public health challenge in Indonesian rural communities, where preventable infections such as diarrhea and acute respiratory infection continue to affect school-age children due to low hygiene knowledge and inconsistent practice. Conventional PHBS training relying solely on lectures or a single physical medium tends to produce only short-term knowledge gains without sustained behavioral change. This community service activity introduces a novel “phygital” (physical-digital) health education model that integrates a traditional snake-and-ladder board game with QR-code-linked micro-videos, a peer-led “Little PHBS Ambassador” program, and a two-week WhatsApp-based parental reinforcement scheme. The program targeted fourth- and fifth-grade students at an elementary school in Ciamis Regency, West Java Province. A one-group pretest-posttest design was employed, measuring knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) before the intervention, immediately after, and at a two-week follow-up. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test at a 0.05 significance level. The results indicated a statistically significant improvement in students’ knowledge, attitude, and hygiene-related practice scores from pretest to posttest, and the gains were largely retained at the two-week follow-up, suggesting that the combination of game-based learning, peer reinforcement, and digital follow-up supports longer-term behavior maintenance compared with single-modality approaches reported in prior studies. This model offers a low-cost, scalable, and culturally familiar strategy that schools, Community Health Centers (Puskesmas), and local governments can adopt to strengthen school-based health promotion and contribute to national efforts in reducing childhood morbidity linked to poor hygiene.

Abstract

Traditional games, locally known in the Sundanese context as kaulinan barudak, are a vital repository of local wisdom, embedding values such as cooperation, honesty, and communal resilience, yet their practice among children and adolescents has declined steadily amid the spread of digital entertainment. Existing digitalization initiatives have largely reproduced single traditional games as stand-alone educational or entertainment applications developed by outside teams, while community-based tourism (CBT) studies have treated local wisdom as a valuable tourism asset without offering a concrete mechanism for embedding it into the visitor experience. This community service program addresses that gap by developing an integrated Digital Kaulinan Trail in Selasari Tourism Village, Pangandaran Regency, West Java, a nationally recognized community-based tourism destination. Using a five-stage participatory action approach, the program trained twenty-four local youths as Digital Culture Ambassadors who, together with eight elder game masters, co-produced a bilingual web-based application documenting ten Sundanese traditional games with instructional videos and augmented-reality markers, and installed eight QR-linked interpretive stations along the village's existing tourism route, tied to a village-enterprise voucher incentive. Evaluation combining a paired pretest-posttest knowledge assessment (n = 130 students) and a Technology Acceptance Model survey (n = 24 ambassadors; n = 45 tourists) indicated significant gains in cultural knowledge and preservation attitudes, together with favorable perceived usefulness and ease of use of the digital trail. The program demonstrates a replicable model that couples youth-led, elder-validated digital heritage documentation with an operating tourism economy, contributing both conceptually and practically to research on local wisdom preservation.

Abstract

Financial reporting is an essential component of organizational accountability, particularly for nonprofit organizations that depend on stakeholder trust and transparent resource management. However, the quality of financial reporting is influenced not only by technical accounting competence but also by behavioral factors such as ethics, integrity, responsibility, accountability, and transparency. This community service program aimed to enhance participants’ awareness and understanding of behavioral accounting and its application in improving financial reporting practices at Bening Saguling Foundation, a nonprofit organization engaged in environmental conservation, social development, and community empowerment in West Bandung Regency, Indonesia. The program adopted a participatory approach consisting of five stages: needs assessment, program preparation, training and socialization, group discussion through case-study analysis, and evaluation. Data were collected through observations, interviews, questionnaires, and pre-test and post-test assessments involving 30 participants, including foundation managers, administrative staff, and volunteers. Program effectiveness was evaluated using descriptive quantitative and qualitative analysis. The results demonstrated a substantial improvement in participants’ understanding of behavioral accounting concepts and their relationship with financial reporting quality. The average pre-test score increased from 54 to 80 in the post-test, representing a learning improvement of 48.15%. Participants also demonstrated greater awareness of ethical decision-making, accountability, transparency, and the importance of behavioral factors in producing reliable financial information. Furthermore, the program strengthened participants’ understanding of good governance principles and encouraged more accountable financial reporting practices within the organization. These findings indicate that integrating behavioral accounting into community-based capacity-building programs can effectively improve financial reporting awareness, support organizational governance, and strengthen stakeholder confidence in nonprofit organizations.

Abstract

This community-service study examines how circular-economy-based business management operates in practice at the Bening Saguling Foundation (BSF), a community-empowerment and Citarum-River conservation organisation in Cihampelas, West Bandung Regency, West Java, Indonesia, and proposes a Digital Waste Bank model to strengthen it. Rather than reporting a controlled intervention, the study synthesises documented evidence from public reporting, the foundation’s own publications, and an academic case study, and maps that evidence onto circular-economy principles. The documented record shows an established community enterprise: founded in 2014 (from an earlier collectors’ cooperative), BSF employs roughly seventy workers, including former scavengers on stable wages, and collects an estimated 900 kg to 1.2 tonnes of waste per day. Recovered plastic is sorted and shredded into feedstock for new products through a monthly “plastic-credit” scheme; household organic waste is converted via black-soldier-fly larvae into poultry feed, supporting egg production sold affordably to residents; and water hyacinth from the reservoir is turned into crafts and furniture. Revenue is reinvested into community services, including a “waste-payment” school and a health clinic, while a corporate partner has provided roughly IDR 500 million in processing infrastructure. Against this backdrop, the study identifies manual recording and limited transaction transparency as constraints and outlines a digital waste-bank design, real-time recording, performance reporting, and incentive tracking to improve efficiency, accountability, and participation. The study contributes a grounded case description and an actionable digitalisation roadmap for community circular-economy enterprises.
