Abstract

Traditional fishermen are micro-scale enterprises with the potential to absorb labor and reduce poverty in coastal areas. However, they often face several challenges, such as low sales turnover that is not proportional to operational costs, limited innovation in marketing strategies, and the long distance to traditional markets. These conditions are also experienced by fishermen in Kilang Village, Leitimur Selatan District, Ambon City. Therefore, this community service activity aims to improve fishermen’s digital literacy in order to expand market reach through the use of digital technology. The implementation method includes an initial survey and problem mapping, administration of a pre-test, socialization and discussions on the digitalization of fish markets, and a post-test to evaluate participants’ improved understanding. The activity was conducted from March 23 to 25, 2025, at the Kilang Village Office and involved 27 local fishermen. A descriptive quantitative method was used to analyze pre-test and post-test data to assess changes in participants’ level of understanding. The results indicate an increase in participants’ understanding of the use of digital platforms for marketing fishery products, as shown by the increase in the average score from 40 in the pre-test to 80 in the post-test. These findings suggest that digital literacy can serve as an initial step in encouraging fishermen to adopt digital markets, thereby improving marketing efficiency, expanding market access, and supporting the sustainability of fishing businesses in coastal areas.

Abstract

Renewable energy sources are a solution to fossil energy sources, which are increasingly depleting every day. Renewable energy has various types; however, the most widely used at present is solar energy, commonly referred to as solar power generation (photovoltaic systems). The development of solar power in Indonesia has begun to be implemented in several sectors to support government programs, particularly national energy security. Considering the importance of renewable energy, early socialization and education are needed, especially for junior high school students. Early education is expected to raise students’ awareness of the importance of environmental preservation in maintaining renewable energy resources provided by nature. To make the educational process more engaging, a hands-on practice method was applied. In this community service activity, students assembled solar-powered toy cars so that the cars could operate. This activity aimed to directly involve students in the use of renewable energy and to help them understand how renewable energy can be applied in simple applications. The results show that students were able to complete the assembly of solar-powered toy cars; 48.28% of students rated the activity as very beneficial, 48.28% as beneficial, and 3.45% as moderately beneficial. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the community service activity was successfully implemented.

Abstract

Mine decarbonisation studies still tend to evaluate electrification, energy efficiency, and renewable energy as separate interventions; therefore, evidence on integrated operational deployment remains limited, particularly for medium-scale open-pit mines in developing countries. This study evaluates whether an integrated green mining package can reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions without undermining day-to-day operational reliability. Using a Design Science Research approach, the study developed and piloted a package consisting of trolley-assist haulage, battery-electric support vehicles, variable speed drives for dewatering pumps, an energy management system, and a solar PV–battery microgrid. Baseline and pilot performance were compared over two three-month periods using fuel logs, electricity meters, telematics, and PV/battery logger data. Emissions were calculated from activity data and IPCC-based emission factors, while renewable integration was assessed using HOMER Pro simulation. Diesel consumption declined from 4,000,000 L to 3,256,000 L (−18.6%), and purchased electricity decreased from 10,000 MWh to 9,060 MWh (−9.4%). The PV system generated 4,050 MWh, supplying about 30.9% of pilot-period electricity demand. Total Scope 1 and 2 emissions fell from 18,920 tCO₂e to 16,155 tCO₂e (−14.6%). The pilot also showed that electrification increased on-site electricity demand, making EMS coordination and renewable supply critical enabling conditions rather than optional add-ons. The novelty of this study lies in field-validating an integrated decarbonisation package instead of a single technology. The findings provide operational-scale evidence for medium-scale mines and support policies on electrification-ready microgrids, performance-based incentives, and standardised Scope 1 and 2 reporting.

Abstract

This study develops and pilot-tests an integrated package of environmentally friendly operational interventions and a sensor-based environmental monitoring system at two mining locations in Indonesia. The research used a pilot multiple-site case study over three months, combining field observation, document review, and repeated measurement of water, air, and soil quality indicators. The analytical focus was on descriptive before–after comparison and compliance-gap assessment, because the pilot dataset was limited to two sites and did not justify inferential statistics. The results show that PM2.5 declined from 58 to 41 µg/m³ at Mine Location A (29.3%) and from 65 to 55 µg/m³ at Mine Location B (15.4%) after intervention. However, several parameters remained above or below the required benchmarks, including turbidity (15–25 NTU versus ≤5 NTU), dissolved oxygen (3.8–4.5 mg/L versus ≥5 mg/L), arsenic (10–12 ppb versus ≤5 ppb), and soil organic matter (2.0–2.5% versus ≥3%). These findings indicate that the monitoring system is effective for early detection and operational feedback, whereas the green technology interventions produced only partial environmental improvement. The study contributes a practical framework for integrating site-level monitoring, threshold-based evaluation, and adaptive environmental management in Indonesia's mining sector. The main implication is that sensor deployment should be scaled together with stronger mine-water treatment, dust suppression, calibration routines, and compliance reporting requirements.

Abstract

Post-mining reclamation often underperforms when land is considered ready for revegetation without prior engineering geological screening. This study develops and demonstrates a weighted engineering geological framework for evaluating reclamation suitability based on slope condition, material properties, and drainage performance. A descriptive-evaluative design was used by combining land-unit delineation, field observation parameters, basic geotechnical indicators, drainage appraisal, and weighted scoring. To transparently demonstrate the analytical model, simulated but technically plausible data were assigned to four engineering geological zones. The model weights slope at 40%, material properties at 35%, and drainage at 25%. The resulting suitability scores classify Zone A as very suitable (87.2), Zone B as moderately suitable (72.6), Zone C as conditionally suitable (56.9), and Zone D as unsuitable (41.6). The novelty of the study lies in operationalizing slope, material, and drainage variables into a transparent zone-based suitability score, and in positioning engineering geology as the first diagnostic layer of reclamation planning rather than a post-planting correction. The framework helps identify dominant limiting factors and supports staged interventions such as regrading, drainage rehabilitation, material improvement, and phased revegetation. The model is suitable as a pre-screening tool and should be calibrated with site-specific field data in future applications.

Abstract

Acid mine drainage from former coal mining areas is characterized by low pH and elevated concentrations of dissolved metals and sulfate, which may degrade receiving-water quality and create long-term environmental risk. This study evaluated the effectiveness and applied relevance of a pilot-scale subsurface-flow constructed wetland in improving acid mine drainage quality by increasing pH and reducing iron, manganese, and sulfate. The novelty of the study lies in the integrated use of gravel, sand, limestone, organic support media, and wetland vegetation within a pilot unit designed for post-mining rehabilitation conditions, while assessing pH, Fe, Mn, and sulfate simultaneously as key indicators of treatment performance. A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest approach was used by comparing influent and effluent quality after treatment through the wetland media. The influent had a pH of 3.2, Fe of 12.50 mg/L, Mn of 8.20 mg/L, and sulfate of 420.00 mg/L. After treatment, the effluent pH increased to 6.1, while Fe decreased to 3.40 mg/L, Mn to 2.70 mg/L, and sulfate to 180.00 mg/L. The corresponding removal efficiencies were 72.80% for Fe, 67.07% for Mn, and 57.14% for sulfate. These findings indicate that pilot-scale subsurface-flow constructed wetlands can provide a simple, low-energy, and environmentally compatible option for post-mining water management and may support practical rehabilitation strategies where long-term chemical dosing is difficult to sustain.

Abstract

The gap in digital literacy capacity, entrepreneurship, and local economic governance remains a structural challenge faced by most Indonesian communities, particularly micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) actors, Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes) managers, and communities with limited access to quality education. This article aims to describe, analyze, and document the effectiveness of four University-Based Community Service (PBMU) programs implemented by Universitas Muhammadiyah Siber (SiberMU) during the November–December 2025 period. The four programs encompass plant-based entrepreneurship training, BUMDes governance training, digital literacy education on the brain rot phenomenon, and the development of an online Learning Management System (LMS) platform at 4u.mooc.or.id. A descriptive qualitative case study approach was employed, with data collected through pre-tests, post-tests, participatory observation, and participant satisfaction surveys. The results indicate that participants' technical competence in entrepreneurship improved by over 80%, understanding of BUMDes governance was significantly strengthened, digital literacy awareness increased among more than 100 webinar participants, and the LMS platform was successfully launched with eleven free e-courses accessible to the wider public. The study concludes that a multidisciplinary, online, and outcome-oriented community service approach can produce measurable transformative impacts on target groups, and recommends strengthening post-program mentoring mechanisms and multi-stakeholder collaboration to sustain long-term program outcomes.

Abstract

This community service program was implemented in Ngadiharjo Village, Borobudur, in collaboration with Kraosan, a social enterprise specializing in bamboo handicrafts. The enterprise faces several challenges, including inconsistent product quality, unstructured workflows, and limited production technology, which have hindered its capacity to meet increasing market demand. The program was carried out through five systematic stages: (1) socialization, (2) technical training, (3) management assistance, (4) implementation of appropriate technology, and (5) impact evaluation. The evaluation results indicate a 77.8% increase in partners’ understanding, with the average score rising from 41.54 (pre-test) to 73.84 (post-test). The implementation of bamboo splitting and shaving machines demonstrated a substantial improvement in production efficiency by significantly reducing processing time while ensuring more precise and consistent product dimensions compared to manual methods. Furthermore, management assistance and brand identity development enhanced Kraosan’s readiness to enter the premium market segment. Overall, this program contributes to improving production capacity, increasing household income potential, and strengthening the social enterprise model in supporting poverty alleviation efforts in Ngadiharjo Village.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of the Government and External Relations Department of PT Indonesia Asahan Aluminium (PT INALUM) in shaping public perception of the company’s environmental programs in Batu Bara Regency. The presence of large-scale industrial companies often raises concerns regarding environmental impacts, making corporate communication an important factor in building public understanding and trust. This study employs a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, and analyzed qualitatively through data organization, categorization, and theme identification. The findings show that the Government and External Relations Department acts as a communication bridge between the company and the community by delivering environmental programs through socialization activities, dialogue forums, and digital media. The department also facilitates two-way communication by accommodating community feedback and conveying it to management. These communication practices contribute to building public understanding and fostering positive perceptions toward environmental programs such as mangrove planting and environmental conservation. However, several challenges were identified, including unequal participation in communication activities, differences in stakeholder interests, and varying levels of public understanding, which may lead to information gaps within the community. Despite these challenges, the communication efforts carried out by the department are generally effective in enhancing public trust and minimizing potential conflict.

Abstract

This study examines the practice of flexing among public university students in Medan on Instagram as part of self-presentation in digital spaces. The study uses a dramaturgical perspective to understand how flexing is displayed as a form of sharing activities, experiences, and moments that reflect lifestyle and digital identity. This research adopts a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method to explore the subjective experiences of informants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, digital observation, and content documentation from students selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using a qualitative analysis model through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that flexing practices are not solely interpreted as showing off wealth or luxury, but are more commonly expressed through sharing daily activities, experiences, and selected moments on Instagram. These practices are closely related to efforts to build self-image and gain social recognition through audience responses such as likes and comments. Flexing thus becomes part of students’ self-presentation in constructing identity and negotiating social position in digital spaces.
