Abstract

Strengthening human resources (HR) in the MSME and cooperative sectors is an important aspect of enhancing local economic competitiveness, including in Cianjur Regency. MSMEs and cooperatives as main drivers of the people's economy often face various obstacles such as weak managerial capabilities, limited financial literacy understanding, and restricted use of digital technology in running their businesses. These problems cause productivity and business sustainability to be less than optimal. To address these issues, a Community Service activity titled “Strengthening MSME and Cooperative HR through Counseling and Joint Dialogue in Cianjur Regency” was carried out by lecturers and students from several universities in Indonesia. The activities were conducted through counseling methods, group discussions, and interactive dialogues involving MSME actors, cooperative administrators, regional officials, and relevant stakeholders. The materials delivered included business management, financial literacy, digital marketing strategies, and strengthening partnership networks between business actors and supporting institutions. This Community Service activity was enthusiastically attended by participants who gained new understanding in managing businesses professionally, innovatively, and adaptively to digital development. This program is expected to increase the capacity of MSME and cooperative HR, strengthen collaboration among economic actors, and encourage the creation of economic independence and community welfare in Cianjur Regency sustainably.

Abstract

Sumberkima Village is one of the villages in Buleleng Regency in the north of Bali island. This village has extensive forest land. Despite having huge area of forests, Sumberkima Village still struggles with poverty, unemployment, and a low level of education. Sumberkima Village also has significant disaster potential, particularly droughts during the dry season, and the village has previously experienced fires due to extreme dryness. This disaster occurs in accordance with predictions regarding the impacts of climate change, which indicate that several areas will experience significant adverse effects due to climate change. In addition to climate change, the summer drought that exacerbates the water crisis in Bali is also attributed to water usage by the tourism sector. This Community Service aims to create a mini reservoir to improve the economy and tourism in Sumberkima Village. The implemented community service program involves the application of simple water harvesting technology and empowers village communities through tree planting initiatives.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a strategic role in regional economic growth because they are the largest absorbers of labor and a significant contributor to GDP. However, many MSME actors are still constrained by the lack of knowledge in business planning and management. In Ujung Padang and Bosar Maligas Districts, the potential of MSMEs is quite high in the culinary, trade, and handicraft sectors. The observation results show that most MSMEs are still operating traditionally without a clear business plan, thus hindering business development, access to financing, and competitiveness. To answer these problems, the service team held a "Business Planning Training for MSME Actors" to improve understanding and skills in preparing an applicable business plan. This training is expected to be able to encourage the development of MSME businesses in a more targeted and sustainable manner.

The findings revealed notable improvements in participants’ ability to analyze problems systematically, apply logical reasoning, and generate innovative solutions within educational contexts. Furthermore, the participants expressed positive attitudes toward adopting these skills in their future teaching practice. This initiative demonstrates the potential of structured community service programs to support the development of essential 21st-century competencies among pre-service teachers, contributing to the broader goal of preparing future educators to meet the challenges of contemporary education

Abstract

This community service initiative aims to enhance public service delivery in Weulun Village, a remote border area in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, through the implementation of an e-Government system. Located adjacent to Timor-Leste, Weulun Village faces significant challenges such as limited infrastructure, geographical isolation, and shortages in human resources, which often hinder access to administrative and public services. In response, a participatory and collaborative approach was employed to design and implement a digital public service platform tailored to the village’s specific needs. The process included needs assessment, system planning, capacity building, system testing, and final implementation. The developed web-based system features two user levels: general public and village administrators. It enables digital access to population data, official documents, village profiles, and correspondence services, reducing residents’ dependency on travel to distant government offices. Following system deployment, training and socialization sessions were held to ensure effective use and sustainability. After four months of use, notable improvements were observed in service efficiency, transparency, and community satisfaction. Despite challenges such as limited internet connectivity and hardware constraints, the community’s enthusiasm and adaptability contributed significantly to the program’s success. This project demonstrates the transformative potential of digital technology in improving public service delivery in remote and underserved areas. The successful implementation in Weulun Village offers a model for similar efforts in other Indonesian border villages. Furthermore, this initiative supports the higher education institution’s goals by integrating community engagement with practical learning opportunities for students.

Abstract

Villages in the Indonesia–Timor Leste border area continue to operate their administrative tasks manually, relying on ledger books and Microsoft Word and Excel to manage data. However, with the rapid advancement of technology, these practices have led to less effective public services. To address this issue, a community service initiative was undertaken to implement the Integrated Village Data Management Information System in Weoe Village, aiming to streamline and enhance service delivery to the community. The system is web-based, which improves accessibility for both residents and village officials, allowing them to access data from anywhere with an internet connection. The initiative consisted of three main stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. The implementation of this system was successfully completed. System development and training on the use of the integrated village data management information system significantly improved participants' understanding, as evidenced by the comparison of pre-test and post-test scores. Participants’ average scores increased by 34.5 points, from 49 in the pre-test to 83.5 in the post-test among five participants. This web-based village data management information system has proven to be an effective solution for enhancing public services, making them more efficient and impactful.

Abstract

Hanjeli Tourism Village, located in Sukabumi Regency, West Java, has great potential for developing nature-based tourism and local culture, particularly through its superior commodity, the hanjeli plant. However, the village faces significant challenges in terms of promotion and management of tourism information, which still relies on conventional methods. This community service activity (Abdimas) aims to increase the competitiveness of Hanjeli Tourism Village by developing a website as an integrated digital platform. This website is designed to improve the accessibility of tourism information, simplify the process of booking tour packages, and promote destinations and local products based on hanjeli. The website's main features include information on tourist destinations, homestays, photo galleries, and local products based on hanjeli plants. The website development is also accompanied by training for village managers to improve their digital and managerial skills in managing this platform effectively. The implementation of this website is expected to increase the number of tourist visits, introduce untapped tourism potential to its full potential, and empower the local community in digital management and online marketing. Furthermore, this website also serves as a platform to promote locally made hanjeli-based products, such as snacks, health drinks, and handicrafts, managed by the village's MSME group. Through website development and digital training, it is hoped that the capacity of the Hanjeli Tourism Village community will be increased in managing and promoting local products more professionally and efficiently.

Abstract

Desa Wisata Hanjeli has significant potential in terms of natural resources, cultural heritage, and local agricultural attractions. However, the management of tourism promotion and services has not yet been optimal, resulting in limited reach to a broader market. This community service activity aims to support the development of Desa Wisata Hanjeli through the application of appropriate technology in the form of website-based digitalization of homestay services and tourism packages. The implementation methods include partner needs analysis, web-based information system design, technology usage training for managers, and assistance in managing content and online reservation services. The developed website presents the village profile, homestay information, thematic tourism packages, and an easy-to-access booking facility for tourists. The results indicate that this digitalization improves the visibility of the tourism village, expands promotional reach, and provides convenience for tourists in accessing information and making reservations. In addition, the local community gains increased capacity in managing digital technology, enabling greater independence in marketing tourism products. Through this implementation, Desa Wisata Hanjeli is expected to enhance its competitiveness, strengthen the community-based economy, and promote sustainable tourism village development through the utilization of appropriate website-based technology.
