Abstract

The quality of coffee, including taste and aroma, is determined mainly by the timeliness of harvesting and post-harvest processes. The quality of Robusta coffee produced in Tenggorong Hamlet, Gumantar Village, North Lombok Regency is still relatively low because the harvesting of coffee beans is carried out using the strip picking method and not the selective picking method. The post-harvest method is still inappropriate, especially in the section for producing green beans. This extension aimed to improve the quality of Gumantar Village coffee through activities to increase farmers' knowledge and capacity in conducting harvest and post-harvest processes. Marketing facilitation activities were also carried out using various applicable process standards. The results and evaluation of the activities showed an increase in coffee farmers' knowledge and capacity in selective picking and post-harvest coffee processing. Coffee processing methods that determine the taste, such as green bean preparation and roasting, have also been well understood. The facilitation has resulted in a business identification number (NIB), label and packaging logo with 'Sangakopi' product brand rights, halal certificate, and distribution permit. It is expected that 'Sangakopi' products will enter the NTB Mall shortly.

Abstract

Mangrove Ecotourism in Tanjung Batu is one of the unique tourist attractions on Lombok Island, featuring a scenic 11-hectare mangrove area with dense vegetation coverage. The site is equipped with several facilities, including a 417-meter wooden bridge, several gazebos, selfie spots, a homestay, and a café. The ecotourism management is handled by the Tourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis) of Sekotong Tengah Village. This destination is quite popular, with no fewer than 300 tourists visiting each month. However, this area is prone to climate-related disaster risks such as tidal floods, strong winds, high waves, floods, and droughts. Additionally, the ecotourism management has mainly focused on physical aspects and lacks sufficient managerial skills for implementing a sustainable governance system. The proposed solution is to strengthen the Pokdarwis management to improve ecotourism governance, optimizing its potential to deliver greater social, economic, and environmental value while contributing to climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts. The conclusion from the community service activity is that to address these challenges, the community is committed to preserving the mangrove ecosystem, preventing disturbances from both internal and external factors, and managing ecotourism in a way that benefits the surrounding community by reducing climate-related disaster risks. Priority activities include mangrove rehabilitation and enrichment, beach cleanup, monthly management meetings, semi-annual evaluations, and promptly developing plans to strengthen the fishermen's economy through involvement in marine tourism packages

Abstract

This Community Service (PKM) activity aims to introduce interactive video-based e-learning to improve critical thinking skills in Vocational High School (SMK) students. Critical thinking skills are essential in facing the challenges of the world of work, especially for vocational school graduates. This activity was conducted online through the Zoom application, involving vocational school teachers as the main participants. The training focuses on using interactive videos as a learning medium that integrates interactive elements such as reflective questions, simulations, and problem-solving tasks to stimulate active student engagement. The evaluation was carried out through pre-test and post-test tests that showed a significant improvement in students' critical thinking skills, with an average post-test score of 80, an increase from 65 in the pre-test. In addition, a survey of teachers showed that 85% of participants benefited from using interactive videos to make learning more engaging and effective. However, some challenges related to internet infrastructure and students' technical ability to access video were identified. As a solution, materials are also provided offline. The results of this activity show that interactive video-based e-learning effectively improves the critical thinking skills of vocational school students. Hopefully, this method can be adapted more widely in the context of vocational education and contribute to developing the quality of education in Indonesia.

Abstract

Batik is a cultural heritage of the Indonesian nation that has been recognized by the world through recognition by UNESCO. The development of Bungo Batik began during the national event, Indonesia Fashion Craft in Makassar in 2002. The demand for Bungo Batik increases every year because it is supported by the policies of the Bungo Regency Regional Government. But on the one hand, the obstacle is precisely the craftsmen themselves who are not able to produce on a large scale. The partner in this activity is Batik Mulia which was established in 2021. The limited production capacity of Bungo batik is because the equipment used is still very simple, such as the use of waterglass in the manual batik dyeing process so that it is wasteful and immeasurable. In addition, partners also need training in management, entrepreneurship, branding strategies and the use of digital marketing. The method of implementing the activity begins with an agreement between the service team and partners to solve problems. The solution offered by the team to partners is the procurement of appropriate technological tools in the form of Roll Saving Water Glass machines and several trainings needed by partners. The success of this activity can be seen by several positive impacts from the savings or efficiency of the use of water glass in batik dyeing, increasing batik production, and improving partner skills in online promotion, creating marketing content and using digital marketing.

Abstract

Technological developments have brought us to an era where digital financial literacy has become very important, especially for people accustomed to the digital world. In today's digital era, skills in managing finances are no longer enough just to count money conventionally. The micro, small, and medium enterprises sector plays a vital role in the national economy, especially in creating jobs and increasing people's income. Based on this, the Community Service implementation team held training and outreach activities with the theme Empowering Financial Literacy in the Era of Digitalization 5.0 Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise Trade at the Bandung City Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Community Service Activities in the form of presenting material regarding Financial Literacy Empowerment in the Digitalization Era 5.0 will be held on July 31 2024. 15 Bandung City KADIN Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise partners who attended this activity have businesses in the culinary, fashion, service and trade sectors. The activities went well based on the evaluation results, and the training materials were based on work needs. A follow-up to this activity is the need for a sustainability program with the help of lecturers from the Faculty of Economics and Business, Widyatama University and KADIN Bandung City to help partners in the field of Financial Technology so that partners and the community can maximize training and development of financial literacy, especially for MSMEs in the Era-based trade sector. Digital 5.0 is vital because the micro, small, and medium enterprises sector is essential in advancing the country's economy.

Abstract

The Financial Literacy Program for Housewives in Rubber Plantation Village aims to improve understanding and skills in family financial management, especially among housewives vulnerable to income fluctuations. This activity was conducted online through the Zoom application and attended by 50 housewives. The methods include three-month interactive training, group discussions, and post-training mentoring. The results of the initial Survey showed that most participants did not have a monthly budget plan (80%), did not save regularly (70%), and did not understand the importance of debt management and insurance (85%). After the training, there was a significant increase in understanding and practice of financial management. As many as 65% of participants started preparing a monthly budget, 55% saved regularly, and 45% understood how to manage debt wisely. Although there are challenges in implementing financial literacy, especially related to income instability, this program has proven effective in increasing awareness and financial management skills. The final Survey also showed increased awareness of the importance of emergency funds and long-term financial plans, although the percentage is still relatively low. With this program, it is hoped that housewives in rubber plantation villages can be more independent and resilient and manage family finances better amid economic uncertainty

Abstract

The development and progress of the world towards the end of the 21st century has raised the issue of gender. This issue of gender has become a debate among many circles. Gender is a term used to describe the distinction between men and women. In a society that adheres to a patriarchal system, the economic function of the family is played by the husband as the head of the household, while the existence of a woman is identical to domestic work in the household. The pressure of economic needs is a real challenge that must be addressed by the family, including encouraging the role of women to help with the economic function of the household. When women work outside the home, especially as stone breakers, there is a shift in roles and functions that are certainly inherent in the understanding of women as part of their self-existence. Women stone breakers who work around the Balibe rock mountain are a group of women housewives who are poorly educated and have no skills. Economic pressure is the main reason they become stone breakers. This community service activity aims to provide innovation and education to groups of women farm workers in improving soft skills to improve quality, through counseling and training. The location of the community service activity is in Bonder Village, Praya Barat District, Central Lombok Regency-NTB. With partners of the Balibe stone labor group totaling 15 people. This activity is strongly supported by partners and all communities at the research location. The involvement of partners in this activity is in the training activities for making handicrafts from mining waste, partners collect stones that are unique in shape and can be formed as basic materials for making crafts. There are several crafts made, namely frames, flower vases, bamboo gazebos. In this activity, the equipment provided is in the form of stone-breaking business equipment including hammers, protective glasses, gloves, hammers and Japanese hats

Abstract

This community service aims to improve the understanding of students at RA Pondok Sholawat, Caruban, Madiun, East Java, about the Solar System through interactive learning media. Based on the initial observations, it was found that traditional learning methods cannot attract interest and improve students' understanding optimally. To overcome this problem, an intervention was carried out in the form of a grant for a set of touchscreen laptops and training teachers on using interactive learning media. The results showed an increase in the enthusiasm and involvement of students in the learning process and an increase in teacher competence in utilizing technology as a learning tool. This program created a more pleasant and effective learning atmosphere and positively impacted the quality of learning at RA Pondok Sholawat. Interactive learning media is expected to be an innovative model that can be applied in other educational institutions to improve students' understanding of scientific concepts from an early age.

Abstract

Educational planning is an integrated process, which will be achieved if all parties related to the field, both government and society, have the same understanding in preparing integrated planning. This condition requires each planning unit to have human resources for planning who understand the substance of educational development and have the ability to prepare educational planning based on the conditions of each region and in accordance with structured, systematic development planning, and refer to the planning system in accordance with central government policies. The main objective of this training is to improve the technical competence of educational planning managers so that they are able to understand policies related to the basics of educational planning, statistics in educational planning, education sector diagnosis and projection techniques and simulation models in educational planning and make follow-up plans as a reference in carrying out their duties and functions as educational planners in their work units. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the competence of human resources for educational planners at the regional level. One strategy is to carry out Educational Planning Training in collaboration between local governments and local universities
