Abstract

The availability of clean water needs to be a special concern in the community, because there are several cases in various regions in Indonesia where the availability of clean water sources becomes difficult to obtain during the long dry season, one of which is in the West Nusa Tenggara region, specifically in Sasake Village, Praya Tengah District, Central Lombok Regency. The main water source used in Sasake Village is PDAM water. However, in recent years, several villages in Central Lombok Regency have experienced drought, making it difficult to obtain clean water. The BPBD of Central Lombok Regency must prepare clean water at the peak of the dry season for several villages, including Sasake Village. Alternative water sources in Sasake Village are wells and the Batujai Reservoir. However, at the peak of the dry season, the water in several wells becomes cloudy and smelly, so residents cannot use it as clean water. This community service initiative seeks to implement a user-friendly downflow water filtration system designed for community-level ownership, operation, and maintenance. The design of this filter uses a 4" PVC pipe containing filter media, including sand, palm fiber, charcoal (activated carbon), and cotton. This physical water purification process excludes chemical and biological reactions, relying instead on gravity-driven separation of suspended solids from the fluid phase. Based on the filtering results, it is known that this tool can reduce turbidity concentration by 69.3% and eliminate odors. According to the evaluation results of the counseling participants, there has been a significant increase in understanding of simple water filtration methods. Counseling regarding this water filtration tool is crucial so that the community can overcome clean water problems independently.

Abstract

The purpose of this community service is to strengthening teachers’ competence about diagnostics test for deep learning approach. The community service is conducted to address the challenges of Indonesia’s new curriculum policy about deep learning based on meaningful learning. The implementation methods include opening, materials explanation, discussion, assessment, and closing. Assessment was conducted by questionnaire and test. The result of the assessment from the questionnaire shows positive responses from teachers.  The average scores each statement ranges from 82% to 97%. It indicates a high level of participant satisfaction with the community service. The teachers gained strengthened knowledge about deep learning and the development of diagnostic instruments. The results indicate that the teachers found this community service beneficial, relevant to classroom needs, and applicable in teaching. In addition, most teachers were aware of diagnostic instruments (61,1%), but only a few teachers had ever developed them (5.6%) or conducted them in their classroom (11.1%). It shows that the implementation of the diagnostics test is still limited before conducting the training.  The result of the assessment from the test shows the mean score obtained by the teachers was 86,67. A total of 16 out of 18 teachers (88,9%) scored  80, which is categorized as good, while 2 teachers scored below 80. Thus, the percentage of teachers exceeded the predetermined achievement indicator of 70%. It is hope that this activity can help teachers in supporting deep learning approach at classroom.

Abstract

Margawindu Village in Sumedang Regency possesses considerable geotourism potential along with a locally cultivated honeybee product known as Teuweul honey. However, this potential has not yet been optimally integrated into the development of sustainable educational tourism. This community service program aims to implement sustainable geotourism by empowering local MSMEs engaged in Teuweul honey beekeeping through a participatory and community-based tourism approach. The method involved field observations, focus group discussions, thematic training, mentoring, and participatory evaluation followed by strategic recommendations. The results indicated a significant increase in community capacity in terms of environmental conservation and tourism interpretation, the rebranding of Teuweul honey with strong local identity, and the development of an educational tour package titled “From Hive to Nature” that combines ecological, economic, and educational values. Despite existing challenges such as infrastructure limitations and the need for digital marketing skills, the program successfully laid the foundation for an inclusive and locally driven sustainable geotourism model. Continued cross-sector collaboration and stakeholder engagement are essential to ensure the program’s long-term sustainability.

Abstract

This activity was carried out as part of the Community Empowerment Field Study Program (KKN-PPM). The purpose of this activity was to optimize the use of rice straw by processing it into bokashi fertilizer. This community service activity was carried out in Nagari Koto Hilalang, Kubung District, Solok Regency. The implementation method included the preparation stage (local materials: rice straw, manure, bran, rice husks, charcoal husks, sugar, and EM4; equipment: hoes, measuring cups, thermometers, and buckets), the fermentation implementation stage (training, monitoring fermentation), practical demonstrations, group discussions, the field application stage (the bokashi produced was applied to farmers' fields to test its effectiveness in improving soil fertility, and evaluation of harvest results). The result of this activity is bokashi fertilizer made from a mixture of straw, husks, bran, manure, sugar, and EM4. With this training, rice straw can be utilized optimally and sustainably. Bokashi fertilizer not only provides economic added value for farmers and local businesses, but also serves as an effective solution for maintaining soil fertility and reducing the environmental impact of straw burning. The production of bokashi fertilizer also encourages the development of micro and creative businesses, thereby improving community welfare and reducing dependence on chemical fertilizers.

Abstract

Rice farming remains a vital sector for rural communities in Indonesia, but dependence on conventional systems has resulted in low productivity and economic instability for farmers. This activity aims to introduce the Rice-Duck-Turi (RDT) system as a sustainable Integrated Farming System (IFS) model applied to the Karya Makmur Farmer Group in Air Satan Village, Musi Rawas Regency. This approach integrates rice cultivation with duck farming in the fields and the planting of turi (Sesbania spp) on the embankments. The research method used a participatory approach through socialization, training, mentoring, and field evaluation activities. The results of this activity show that the Paitri system can reduce the use of chemical fertilizers by up to 25% and provide additional income through duck egg and meat production. The integration of turi plays a role in providing natural organic fertilizer and forage, while also improving soil fertility. This system also strengthens social solidarity and economic independence among farmers through mutual assistance and collective learning. The implementation of the Paitri system has proven to be an efficient, environmentally friendly, and economically valuable sustainable agricultural innovation that can be replicated in other rural areas to strengthen local food security.

Abstract

This Community Service Program aimed to introduce the concept of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), particularly arbitration, as a preventive approach in managing business dispute risks within micro, small, and medium-scale culinary enterprises. Culinary-based MSMEs generally rely on trust and informal communication in their commercial transactions, making them vulnerable to conflicts arising from differences in interpretation, delayed payments, price changes, or contract breaches. Through this program, participants were provided with knowledge of the legal position of arbitration as a dispute-resolution forum outside the state court system, the final and binding nature of arbitral awards, and the importance of incorporating simple arbitration clauses into business agreements as a tool for dispute prevention. The activity was implemented using a combination of lecture, discussion, and question-and-answer methods. The results show that participants demonstrated a high level of interest due to limited access to information related to non-litigation dispute resolution mechanisms. Participants also acknowledged that inserting simple arbitration clauses—even in order forms commonly used in day-to-day operations—constitutes a realistic approach. This program has encouraged an increased awareness of the need for more structured contractual practices as part of improving business governance among MSMEs. It is expected that this knowledge could stimulate MSMEs to develop transactional systems that not only rely on trust but are also equipped with adequate preventive instruments, thereby strengthening the stability, security, and competitiveness of their business practices.

This community service activity aimed to improve teacher competence through mentoring in the creation of AR-based interactive e-modules as a 21st-century learning innovation. The implementation methods included socialization, technical training, a coaching clinic, and an evaluation of outcomes using a pre-test, post-test, and a participant satisfaction survey. Fifteen teachers actively participated in this activity. The paired sample t-test analysis revealed a significant increase between the pre-test (M = 47.00; SD = 7.75) and post-test scores (M = 91.67; SD = 4,87), with t = –18.506, p = 0.000 (p < 0.05). And the Cohen’s d = 9.35, categorized as a very large effect. This finding demonstrates that the mentoring program was effective in enhancing teacher competence in developing AR-based interactive e-modules. Furthermore, the results of the participant satisfaction survey reinforced the program's effectiveness. A total of 73.3% of participants stated they were "very satisfied" with the quality of the mentoring and facilitators, while 80% felt their e-module creation skills had significantly increased. Regarding the AR integration aspect, 87% of participants expressed high satisfaction with the clarity of the training and the implementation results. Meanwhile, 67% rated the activity as having a direct impact on enhancing their instructional technology integration skills. All participants demonstrated a high commitment to sustainably implementing the training outcomes in their respective schools. Consequently, this program is proven to have a positive impact on enhancing digital literacy, pedagogical competence, and teacher readiness to face the challenges of 21st-century, technology-based learning.
