Abstract

Empowering Household Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) is a primary focus in local economic development and community economics. One crucial aspect in enhancing the competitiveness and capabilities of Household MSMEs is effective packaging design. Packaging design is not merely about visual aesthetics but also about functionality and interaction with consumers. The Participatory Learning and Action (PLA) method is utilized to develop effective packaging designs, involving MSME actors, consumers, and other relevant parties. This PLA approach is expected to assist Household MSMEs in facing tight market competition. This research proposes community empowerment activities through the production of Rempeyek products in one of the MSMEs in Majalengka, using the PLA method. The success evaluation of the activities is conducted through the four-level evaluation model (Kirkpatrick), covering reaction, learning, behavior, and results. The evaluation results show an improvement in participants' knowledge, understanding, and skills in packaging design. The overall scores indicate that these activities successfully achieve the Kirkpatrick evaluation goals. Recommendations to enhance the implementation of this service development include increasing the capacity of project participants, addressing deeper issues, local government support, and support for domestic industries. This research demonstrates that training and mentoring in packaging design can provide significant benefits to Household MSMEs, enhancing product quality, market value, and competitiveness in a competitive market.

Abstract

Sembalun Bumbung Agro-Tourism, a renowned destination on Lombok Island, is celebrated for its stunning natural beauty and its agricultural tourism, attracting local, national, and international visitors. Demographically, the population of Sembalun Bumbung, especially among the younger generation (millennials), is increasing. This demographic shift brings various impacts, including changes in dietary habits and agricultural activities, particularly in relation to food diversification. Therefore, it is crucial to educate the millennial community in the Sembalun Bumbung Agro-Tourism area about healthy eating patterns based on food diversification. The objectives of this initiative are: 1) To implement a balanced nutrition plan through a safe and healthy diet, and 2) To promote the daily consumption of foods rich in carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals in appropriate portions and schedules. Through these educational activities, it is anticipated that the knowledge of the community, especially among millennials, regarding healthy eating patterns will improve. Consequently, they will become agents of change in their village, fostering a habit of consuming a diverse range of local foods to enhance the overall health of the local community

Abstract

The aim of this community service activity is to train and mentor farmers to produce organic fertilizer from cattle pen waste to create a village community that is self-sufficient in meeting the fertilizer needs for its pineapple farming business. The activity used a participatory action method, which was carried out for 19 months. The results of the activities show that the implementation of the activities ran smoothly and successfully. Farmers' participation and enthusiasm, which was previously moderate, turned out to be increased to high after implementing direct assistance in the field. Farmers' knowledge and skills are increasing as evidenced by the fertilizer produced based on SNI standards which is classified as good quality. Organic fertilizer produced by farmers can be used as a substitute for Urea, ZK and TSP fertilizer because application of a dose of 25 tons ha-1 plus NPK Ponska dose of 100 kg ha-1 can balance the growth and yield of pineapple in plots fertilized with NPK dose of 500 kg ha-1 . So the recommended application dose for organic fertilizer produced by this program is 25 tons ha-1 plus NPK Ponska 100 kg ha-1 with the application time after soil processing.

Abstract

This article explores the relationship between gratitude and self-healing. Self-healing is a psychological healing process that occurs in people suffering from depression, stress, anxiety, and fear in life. This research aims to understand the practice of gratitude in self-healing in the Quran from the perspective of M. Quraish Shihab. The results of this research regarding the interpretation of M. Quraish Shihab include verses of gratitude, namely Surah al-Baqarah verse 152, Surah 'Ali Imran verse 145, Surah Luqman verse 12, and Surah az-Zumar verse 7. Tafsir al-Misbah explains the words of gratitude as follows: This includes obedience and praise that deeply acknowledges the greatness of God's blessings and mercy and evokes feelings of love for God. Gratitude is closely related to maintaining mental health and peace of mind. Practicing self-healing with gratitude degrades negative thoughts, reduces feelings of dissatisfaction, fosters positive traits within oneself, and encourages a spirit of worship that provides psychological benefits. This occurs due to the increased awareness of Allah SWT's blessings in what is given in the lives of those who are grateful.

Abstract

The method of implementing this community service is systematically designed to overcome the problems faced by the target partner, Ma Utik, in developing the Cilembu yam industry and its processed products. The preparation and planning stages as well as socialization and initial training are the main focuses in this program. The preparation stage begins with an initial survey to identify partner needs related to marketing, business management, distribution network development, and product innovation. A service team consisting of experts in economics, management, agribusiness, and informatics was formed with a division of tasks according to competence. A structured work plan includes a schedule of activities, implementation methods, and indicators of success, as well as careful management of budgets and resources. Socialization and training materials were developed based on partner needs to ensure in-depth understanding and mastery of relevant skills. The socialization phase begins with an initial meeting to introduce the program's objectives, benefits and solutions to partners, while accommodating their inputs. Initial training was conducted to provide partners with a foundation of knowledge and skills. Marketing strategy training covers the use of social media, digital marketing, branding, and promotion. Business management training covers business planning, financial management, and strategic decision-making using business management software. Distribution network development training includes negotiating and building relationships with distributors, as well as utilizing communication technology. Product innovation training includes identification of market trends and development of new products using market research technology. Through this approach, it is expected that partners can understand the program objectives and acquire the necessary skills to improve their competitiveness. With effective coordination between the service team, community partners, and supporting institutions, this program can run smoothly and have a significant impact. The implementation of a digital marketing application specifically for Cilembu yam products is one of the main results that is expected to increase product visibility, facilitate customer access, strengthen branding, and increase interaction with customers and business partners

Abstract

Desa Lenek Ramban Biak has transformed into an ecotourism village due to its various tourism potentials, including natural, cultural, and religious attractions. However, both the government and local communities lack awareness of the importance of managing village tourism. Through the Community Service Program (Kuliah Kerja Nyata) conducted by PMD UNRAM, efforts have been made to enhance cleanliness and attract more visitors. Activities include creating photo spots, producing promotional videos, and establishing waste disposal facilities through collective clean-up efforts. The implementation methods involve crafting waste bins from recycled bamboo, conducting clean-up drives at tourist spots, producing promotional videos, and creating photo spots using wood and bamboo. The addition of photo spots aims to make the tourist destination more appealing. The use of bamboo waste bins is intended to raise awareness among the community about waste management and promote a cleaner and healthier environment. Additionally, leveraging technological advancements for promotional video production facilitates wider outreach through social media platforms, thereby increasing awareness among the public. Social media serves as a convenient channel for disseminating information about the tourist destination.
