Abstract

This service activity aims to improve food sustainability in Merdeka Village through the integration of scientific and cultural approaches. The program identifies and leverages local resources, such as cassava, corn, and coconut, to develop innovative products that address societal challenges, including the lack of utilization of organic waste, limited access to simple technology, and a lack of product diversification. Four prototypes were successfully developed, namely shredded coconut pulp, cookies made from cassava flour and titi corn, caramelized cassava cakes, and organic fertilizer from livestock waste. The demonstration and training involved active community participation with significant results: 100% of participants succeeded in producing shredded coconut pulp independently, 90% of participants succeeded in making ready-to-sell cookies, and 80% of farmers showed understanding and skills in making organic fertilizer. This program has succeeded in optimizing local resources, reducing waste, and empowering communities to produce products that are sustainable, nutritious, and have high economic value. This activity shows the importance of integrating local cultural knowledge with technological innovation to achieve food sovereignty. This initiative not only answers the needs of the community directly but also provides a replicable model to promote sustainable agricultural practices and improve local economies in similar regions.

Abstract

The MSME mentoring program in the Sapuran area, Wonosobo, aims to empower underprivileged communities with a focus on micro businesses. This assistance uses an Assets-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach which maps and develops existing assets in the community, supporting business sustainability. Mentoring involves student facilitators who work with 30 customers from grocery, agricultural, goods production and reseller businesses. The methodology applied consists of four stages: SWOT analysis, providing material on business management, marketing and brand development, material review, and direct practice. The ABCD approach encourages customers to utilize internal resources, such as existing skills, products and networks, to design innovative solutions for their businesses. The results of the assistance show that customers better understand how to manage their business in a structured and efficient manner, as well as increasing product competitiveness through the use of simple technology, such as marketing via social media and developing a business identity. This program also strengthens community economic resilience through strengthening micro businesses and becomes a model that can be applied in other regions to support the sustainability of MSMEs

Abstract

The relatively high price of inorganic fertilizers means that members of the Harapan Jaya Farmer Group are unable to optimally meet their fertilizer needs. On the other hand, farmers have not been able to process their agricultural waste properly which is generally only by burning. This method is not environmentally friendly because it can pollute the air, lose its nitrogen content and kill soil organisms that are useful for plants. In fact, there is no return of crop residues to the land. This condition can cause soil fertility to decrease and requiring more fertilizer inputs. This additional input has an impact on increasing the cost of farming. To solve above problems, this community service program had been undertaken in April to November 2024 through counseling, training and mentoring to farmers who are members of the farmer group as the partner in this program. The focus of this program was mainly on the management of gramine crop waste such as rice and corn which absorb very high silicon element. The results of this service showed that the training participants were very enthusiastic in attending the counselling and could absorb the presented materials. Almost all participants were able to overcome the techniques or methods in the process of making silicon fertilizer during the training. In addition, they were also very interested in trying the fermented and well-designed fertilizer based on the respondent’s assessment. However, applying fertilizer in the form of demo plots requires separate planning in the future because the process of making silicon fertilizer takes very long time.

Abstract

This research deeply explores the relationship between public awareness in paying taxes and its impact on increasing local revenue realization, a crucial aspect in the sustainability of regional development. In this context, the research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, which allows for an in-depth understanding of the dynamics at play, with a focus on secondary data analysis of local revenue realization. The main findings of this study underline the existence of a significant positive correlation between the level of public awareness in paying taxes and the increase in local revenue realization. More specifically, this study highlights the effectiveness of the *door-to-door* strategy as a highly influential method in raising public awareness of their tax obligations. This approach allows direct interaction between tax officers and taxpayers, which has proven to be effective in increasing public understanding, compliance, and ultimately, contribution to local revenue. In addition, this study also identified other factors that influence people's awareness in paying taxes, such as level of education, understanding of the benefits of taxes, and trust in local government. The implications of this study suggest that a more personalized and educative approach, such as the door-to-door method, is crucial in raising tax awareness. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into the importance of public awareness in paying taxes for increasing local revenue realization. The findings of this study can be the basis for local governments in formulating more effective policies and strategies to increase public awareness and compliance in paying taxes, so that in the end it can support sustainable regional development.

Abstract

Improving people's financial literacy using m-banking is crucial in today's digital era, where around 70% of Indonesians still have a low level of financial literacy. This research focuses on Bank Mandiri Surabaya Branch, where more than 60% of customers do not fully understand the use of digital banking services, especially m-banking. This community service activity aims to improve customers' understanding of m-banking and its benefits in financial management. Using training modules and hands-on demonstrations, participants were taught how to download applications, conduct transactions, and understand important features in m-banking. Results showed that the education significantly improved customers' understanding and confidence in using the m-banking application. Participants reported an increased interest in applying the new knowledge in their daily financial management. This program not only contributes to the improvement of individual financial literacy but also promotes broader financial inclusion in the community. Thus, this activity confirms the importance of structured and practical education to improve financial literacy and utilize digital banking technology effectively.

Abstract

Land and Building Tax has become one of the potential sources of state revenue in local tax income. However, despite its great potential, the realization of its collection still faces several obstacles, one of which is the low level of taxpayer compliance. Compliance will increase along with taxpayer satisfaction if tax services are made easier, more effective, and provided with greater service facilities by tax officers. The method used in this community service is an educational and hands-on approach, focused on socializing the use of the Surabaya Online Land and Building Tax service to the residents of Rungkut. This activity involves the delivery of theoretical material, followed by a direct demonstration of website usage. With the provision of this socialization, it can be seen that there has been a significant increase in the public's knowledge regarding the features and usage of the Surabaya online PBB service. The community also provided positive feedback and considered that the online Land and Building Tax service service is a very helpful advancement. with the presence of this online Land and Building Tax service, it can reach the entire community.

Therefore, this socialization successfully opened their understanding of how to use it and what benefits they can gain from using it. With this, it is hoped that the community will become more aware of information regarding the Land and Building Tax
