Abstract

This research explores the impact of community-driven financial initiatives on the development of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) by employing a qualitative research methodology based on a comprehensive literature review. The study aims to assess the efficacy of community-driven financial initiatives in fostering sustainable SME growth, identifying key success factors, challenges, and socio-economic impacts. The literature selection process involved thorough searches of academic databases and repositories, followed by data extraction and analysis using qualitative techniques such as thematic analysis. The findings reveal that community-driven financial initiatives significantly contribute to SME development by providing access to finance, mentorship, and networking opportunities. However, the impact varies depending on institutional design, regulatory environment, and socio-economic context. Challenges including scalability, sustainability, risk management, and governance issues hinder the maximization of their impact. Regulatory frameworks must evolve to accommodate technological innovations while ensuring consumer protection and financial stability. Stakeholder collaboration and innovative solutions are imperative to address these challenges effectively. Overall, community-driven financial initiatives hold immense promise for catalyzing positive change and fostering inclusive economic growth, but addressing challenges is essential to realizing their full potential.

Abstract

In an increasingly digital and experience-driven marketplace, the shift from product-centric to experience-centric marketing has become a strategic necessity for firms seeking sustainable competitive differentiation. This study aims to explore how customer-centric innovation drives the transformation of traditional marketing strategies into immersive, value-rich experiences that meet evolving consumer expectations. Using a qualitative research design grounded in an interpretivist perspective, the study employed a multiple-case study approach across diverse industries. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with marketing and innovation professionals, supplemented by company documents and secondary sources. Thematic analysis identified four key findings. First, customer-centric innovation reshapes value creation by shifting the focus from tangible products to emotional and symbolic experiences. Second, technological integration, including artificial intelligence (AI) and real-time analytics, facilitates hyper-personalization and adaptive customer engagement. Third, emotional branding and storytelling play strategic roles in strengthening customer loyalty and fostering brand resonance. Fourth, sustainable experience strategies are co-created through continuous feedback mechanisms and stakeholder engagement. These findings contribute to the theoretical development of experiential marketing and value co-creation while providing practical insights for firms seeking to align their brand strategies with customer values in dynamic market environments. Overall, the study highlights that competitive advantage in the modern marketplace depends not merely on selling products but also on creating meaningful, adaptive, and emotionally engaging experiences that encourage customers to return and share their experiences with others.

Abstract

Social commerce has grown rapidly and become a major platform for public transactions, including in rural areas. However, limited digital legal literacy exposes rural communities to risks such as fraud, product discrepancies, and misuse of personal data. This community service program aimed to strengthen the legal awareness of micro-business owners and consumers in Gunung Silanu Village, Jeneponto Regency, particularly regarding their rights, obligations, and potential legal risks associated with digital transactions. The program employed interactive legal education, simulations of safe online transaction practices, the distribution of digital legal literacy modules, and the establishment of a village-based digital legal communication forum. The results indicated an improvement in participants’ legal understanding, as reflected in higher post-test scores than pre-test scores. Participants also demonstrated increased awareness and a greater commitment to conducting safer online transactions in compliance with applicable laws. Overall, the program generated educational and preventive benefits and provides a replicable model for digital legal literacy initiatives in other rural communities.

Abstract

Sustainable furniture design requires the integration of aesthetic, functional, ergonomic, and environmental considerations. This study aimed to develop and evaluate super teak wood furniture designs using an integrated biophilic and ergonomic approach at PT Bima Moriesya Anugerah, Indonesia. A sequential mixed-methods design was employed, involving structured interviews with 30 premium furniture consumers and consultations with five industry experts. Three design configurations were evaluated using computer-aided design and manufacturing simulations, digital human modeling, and life cycle assessment. The evaluation considered user preferences, ergonomic performance, and environmental impact. Configuration B was identified as the preferred alternative, achieving a reported Biophilic-Ergonomic Index (BEI) score of 8.7. Additional results included a Biophilic Design Index score of 8.9 out of 10, a seat pressure distribution value of 12.5 kPa, a Rapid Upper Limb Assessment score of 2, and a carbon footprint of 52.1 kg CO₂ equivalent. The findings indicate that integrating biophilic principles with ergonomic and environmental criteria can support the evaluation and selection of furniture design alternatives. However, the interpretation of these results depends on the transparent definition of the assessment indicators and the validation of the proposed index. The study provides a design evaluation framework that may inform further research and practical development in the Indonesian furniture industry.

Abstract

Low levels of legal literacy and limited access to legal consultation services remain challenges in Kampung Beru Village, Galesong District, Takalar Regency. The Student Organization Capacity Building Program (PPK Ormawa), through the Law Consult innovation, was implemented from July to August 2026 by integrating legal education, paralegal training, the establishment of a Literacy Corner and a Legal Aid Post (Posbankum), and digital legal consultation services. Implementation data were obtained from activity logbooks, observations, documentation, focus group discussions, and monitoring and evaluation records. In July 2026, the activities included the program inauguration, legal education on rights and obligations, educational sessions for adolescents and pregnant women, domestic violence prevention counseling, paralegal training, coordination with the Regional Office of the Ministry of Law of South Sulawesi, and the establishment of the Literacy Corner. In August 2026, the activities continued with the completion of the Posbankum, testing and training on the use of the application, pre-launching and launching events, and the handover of Law Consult to the village government. The program resulted in the establishment of village-based legal service facilities, trained paralegal cadres, a Literacy Corner, and the Law Consult application, which was tested and formally handed over to the village government. However, the activity logbooks did not include quantitative pre-test and post-test results; therefore, changes in legal literacy could not be quantitatively measured or conclusively determined.

Abstract

Health literacy is essential for rural communities to make informed, safe, and effective health decisions. However, the widespread use of digital media and social media has exposed rural populations to unverified health claims and medical misinformation. This community service program aimed to improve health literacy among residents of Wollangi Village through structured education on health information management. The program employed a four-stage intervention framework comprising identification, planning, implementation, and evaluation. The educational materials addressed four core dimensions of health literacy: accessing, understanding, appraising, and applying health information. Participants were also introduced to practical information verification guidelines based on the “5T” principles (Telusuri, Tinjau, Tanggal, Temukan, and Tanyakan). The interventions included interactive community workshops, digital health education, the distribution of educational materials, and capacity-building activities for local health cadres. Pre-test and post-test evaluations indicated improvements in participants’ health knowledge, critical appraisal of online health information, and use of accredited health sources. These findings highlight the role of health administration in fostering collaboration among stakeholders to promote sustainable health literacy in rural communities.

Abstract

Mental health is essential to university students’ psychological well-being and academic functioning. Academic, social, financial, and personal pressures can affect students’ emotional states, often described in Indonesian as “galau,” which refers to feelings of emotional distress, confusion, or uncertainty. Limited mental health literacy may hinder students’ ability to recognize their emotions, manage psychological stress, and identify appropriate sources of support. This community service activity aimed to enhance students’ mental health literacy and awareness through a seminar entitled “Mental Health Awareness: Why Am I Feeling Galau?” The seminar was held on October 10, 2026, at Grand Hotel Metro Permai in Tana Toraja Regency, South Sulawesi, and was attended by 160 university students. A psychoeducational approach was implemented through presentations, interactive discussions, question-and-answer sessions, and reinforcement of key mental health messages. The topics covered included emotional awareness, psychological stressors, adaptive coping strategies, the risks of self-diagnosis, mental health stigma, social support, and professional help-seeking. The seminar provided an educational platform for connecting mental health concepts with students’ everyday experiences. Participants’ engagement in discussions and question-and-answer sessions demonstrated their involvement in the learning process. However, because no pre-intervention or post-intervention assessments were conducted, improvements in mental health literacy or changes in participants’ behavior could not be empirically established. This activity provides a foundation for developing more sustainable mental health literacy programs through collaboration among universities, communities, and mental health professionals.
