Abstract

The natural resource processing industry in Bonggo District, Sarmi Regency, has begun to show results, particularly in the form of food products. A locally sourced industrial product that has not yet been tapped by industry players in Bonggo is the aromatherapy candles, made from essential oil extracts from Bonggo plants. Aromatherapy candles are generally used for aromatherapy, with their refreshing scent, and some even repel mosquitoes, depending on the essential oils mixed into the candles. Making an aromatherapy candle is simple, time-consuming, and requires inexpensive raw materials, with a high selling value compared to the raw materials. The training was conducted in collaboration with SMA Negeri 2 Sarmi, located in Tamar Sari Village, East Bonggo District, Sarmi Regency, Papua Province. The training aimed to train students, particularly 12th-grade students who were about to complete their high school studies. The knowledge gained from the training is expected to be developed into a business opportunity for those unable to pursue higher education. The training was conducted by providing material, and then continued with a trial of making aromatherapy candles carried out by the training participants. Evaluation was carried out by organoleptic testing of the level of preference for the resulting product in terms of aroma, smell, texture, and color, appearance using a Likert scale with a scale of 5, namely (1) Dislike, (2) Less like (3), Somewhat like, (4) Like, and Very like (5). The aromatherapy used was eucalyptus, citronella oil, tyme oil, coffee, and mosquito repellent aroma (soffel). The results achieved, most students were able to mix ingredients and make aromatherapy candles well and correctly. The organoleptic results stated that, in general, respondents showed their preference for the five aromatherapies in terms of aroma, texture, color, and smell.

Abstract

This community service programme employed a participatory, experiential learning approach to equip secondary school students at Sangkhom Islam Wittaya School, Hat Yai, Thailand, with basic digital marketing skills through the creation of digital portfolios. Thirty students, supported by three teachers, took part in interactive lectures, demonstrations, guided practice, project-based learning, and feedback sessions. Quantitative results from paired sample t-tests showed a significant improvement in knowledge and skills, with mean scores increasing from 55.40 (SD = 8.25) in the pre-test to 78.30 (SD = 7.10) in the post-test (t(29) = 11.25, p < 0.05). Qualitative findings reinforced these outcomes: students demonstrated active participation and creativity, reported greater confidence in applying digital concepts, and produced coherent portfolios; teachers also confirmed improvements in digital competencies aligned with the school’s literacy objectives. Overall, the programme proved effective in delivering practical and relevant learning experiences that significantly enhanced students’ digital literacy and entrepreneurial potential in line with the demands of the digital era.

Furthermore, the impact of the activity did not stop at the cognitive aspect, but also touched on the character dimension, namely shaping a creative, innovative entrepreneurial spirit based on Islamic ethics. Thus, Smartpreneur 5.0 succeeded in achieving its planned objectives while making a real contribution to producing a highly competitive young generation with a strong spiritual foundation

Abstract

Legal awareness among rural communities remains relatively low due to limited access to legal information and minimal outreach from authorities. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the implementation of an integrated legal outreach program in increasing legal awareness among the people of Pasir Angin Village. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study design and participatory action research involving 87 participants from various community groups over a six-month period. Data collection was conducted through participant observation, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis, then analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. The outreach program integrated five main topics: land and electronic certificates, narcotics prevention, personal data protection in fintech, family and inheritance law, and notary aspects. The results showed a significant increase in the level of community legal understanding from an average of 34% to 78%, with a program satisfaction level reaching 4.3 on a scale of 5. This program successfully shifted the community's paradigm from a traditional approach to a more structured formal legal settlement. Key success factors included the competence of the resource persons, interactive-participatory delivery methods, village government support, and the relevance of the material to the real needs of the community. This research provides an important contribution to the development of a community service model in the legal field and can be replicated in other villages with adjustments to the local context to create a more legally aware community and able to access justice optimally.

Abstract

This study addresses the limited fiscal awareness among high school students and explores how a participatory approach can foster a better understanding of public budgeting concepts. A one-day community service program was conducted on May 17, 2025, at Sangkhom Islam Wittaya School, Hatyai, Thailand, involving 27 students and several teachers. The program was facilitated by four lecturers and four students from three universities in South Sulawesi, Indonesia: Hasanuddin University, West Sulawesi University, and Muhammadiyah University of Makassar. Using a modified Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach as the educational method, the activity was structured into planning, action, and reflection stages, incorporating interactive workshops, group discussions, and simulated budget allocation exercises. Data were collected through facilitator observations, student responses, and feedback. Findings indicate that students demonstrated an increased understanding of how public resources are managed and the importance of fiscal transparency. This article concludes that experiential and collaborative methods such as PAR are effective in fostering fiscal awareness among youth.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of community legal assistance, focusing on free legal clinics and legal socialization initiatives, in supporting the recovery and restoration of rights for women victims of violence in Indonesia’s coastal regions. Employing a qualitative research methodology, the research analyzes field data, organizational reports, statutory frameworks, and direct interviews with stakeholders involved in legal advocacy. Results reveal that socio-legal interventions—especially targeted legal empowerment actions integrating psychosocial support with accessible legal services—have significantly improved women’s legal knowledge and helped many to secure protection orders, initiate police reports, and access community-based support networks. Nonetheless, cultural barriers, limited funding, and geographical constraints remain major challenges. The findings support policy recommendations for sustainable legal outreach in marginalized communities and underscore the importance of multi-sectoral partnerships to ensure effective rights restoration in coastal zones of Indonesia.

Abstract

Banana trees are known as highly beneficial plants because almost all of their parts can be used for various purposes, including processed foods. However, many people are still unaware that besides the fruit, heart, and leaves, other parts such as the stem, stump, and even the banana peel can also be utilized. Most people only use the commonly used parts of the banana. However, banana peels have great potential, such as being used as dish soap. Banana peels contain compounds like saponins (foaming agents), tannins, and flavonoids, which have antibacterial properties, making them suitable as a soap base.This community service activity was conducted in Harjosari 1, Medan, using outreach methods and hands-on practice in making dish soap from banana peels with local residents. The success of this activity was measured by increased community understanding and successful home-made soap production, which was monitored regularly through a WhatsApp group

Abstract

This study explores the role of mentoring and the utilization of MSMEs machinery as strategic factors in preparing effective business plans for young start-ups, with a focus on Thai snack micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). Mentoring is examined as a source of guidance, knowledge transfer, and confidence building, while UMKM machinery is considered as a technological variable that enhances production efficiency and product quality. Using a case study approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis from selected Thai snack MSMEs. The findings indicate that mentoring significantly improves entrepreneurs’ ability to structure comprehensive business plans, identify market opportunities, and manage risks. Simultaneously, the adoption of UMKM machinery contributes to operational scalability and competitiveness, enabling young start-ups to meet market demand more effectively. The integration of mentoring and machinery adoption provides a synergistic effect, resulting in stronger strategic planning and sustainable business growth. This study highlights the importance of combining human capital development with technological adoption to support the success of young entrepreneurs in the MSME sector.
