Abstract

Pekanbaru has experienced frequent flooding due to high rainfall intensity, exacerbated by the reduction of water infiltration areas, which have been converted into residential and commercial zones. Additionally, poor environmental awareness is evident from waste accumulation along roadsides, obstructing drainage systems and contributing to surface runoff. With limited available land and reduced natural infiltration capacity, biopore infiltration holes offer a viable solution for mitigating waterlogging. Biopores facilitate rainwater absorption through artificial infiltration, effectively reducing surface runoff during heavy rains. This study focuses on the socialization and implementation of biopore infiltration holes at SMK Bina Profesi Pekanbaru. The process involved awareness programs for students, emphasizing the environmental benefits and construction techniques of biopores. Observations of the surrounding environment were conducted to assess water infiltration conditions, followed by the preparation and installation of biopores. The initiative not only aimed to reduce flood risks and runoff but also addressed waste management by utilizing organic waste in the biopore holes. Decomposed organic matter is converted into compost, promoting sustainable waste recycling. The biopore program at SMK Bina Profesi successfully educated students on both environmental stewardship and practical techniques for managing water infiltration, contributing to improved local sustainability efforts

Abstract

In Buru Regency, Waimiting Village is one of the eucalyptus oil processing centers. Processed eucalyptus oil products still have obstacles in marketing management in the community. The lack of optimization of farmers' marketing management institutions has had an economic impact on farmers' welfare. Therefore, training on the use of social media for marketing eucalyptus oil products is important to be carried out to increase the empowerment of farmers in fulfilling income which then leads to the welfare of farmers. The objective of this program is to support the growth of small businesses owned by a group of social entrepreneurship-based entrepreneurs and eucalyptus oil distillation centers. The research was conducted using participatory surveys, observations, lectures, discussions, and silent practice, involving about 12 people who are members of the "Kayu Putih Lestari" farmer group. The results of the program implementation showed the seriousness and enthusiasm of the participants in each training session. Program partners were able to understand a number of technical issues, such as social media-based marketing management, utilization of social media marketing, and brand creation agreements for eucalyptus oil distillation-based business ventures from farmer groups in Waimiting Village. They also showed an increase in understanding by 14 points (80%) during the training. Participants were also able to put the training into practice during the learning sessions.

Abstract

In the current era of globalization, prioritizing four basic skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity, is needed to prepare students to live in the future. This community service activity aims to optimize these skills through the application of ocean-island-based physics multirepresentation learning, which is relevant to the living environment of students in Central Maluku. The multirepresentation approach helps students understand abstract physics concepts through various forms of representation, such as visual, mathematical, and verbal, which encourages deeper understanding. The context of the sea-island environment, such as currents, waves, and hydrostatic pressure, is used as physics teaching material to increase the relevance and motivation of student learning, as students can see how physics concepts are integrated in their daily lives. The service method used includes observation, teacher training, and implementation of contextual learning based on sea-islands. The results showed that teachers who participated in the training were able to design and implement contextualized multirepresentation physics learning, which is relevant to the local sea-island environment. Students also responded positively and showed improvement in 4C skills through the island sea-based learning process and this learning is expected to continue to evolve and be applied in various learning contexts to advance 21st century skills among students
