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.

Abstract

Bullying remains a serious problem in many schools in Indonesia. In general, data from the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF), released in 2021, indicates that approximately 30% of students have experienced bullying at school. The prevalence of bullying tends to make children who are victims feel afraid, isolated, and stressed, which negatively impacts their mental health and academic performance. Bullying cases in schools in Indonesia are quite concerning. The Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI) recorded 17 cases of physical violence in 2021, resulting in six student deaths and one paralysis. This Community Service (PkM) activity aims to educate the academic community of Muhammadiyah 55 Kandangan Private Middle School so they understand the dangers of bullying and understand character education from an early age as a way to prevent bullying in and outside of school. The results obtained through the implementation of the PkM activity are that the students of Muhammadiyah 55 Kandangan Private Middle School have a better understanding of the meaning, types, and dangers of Bullying, as well as character education efforts as the best way to reduce and prevent Bullying at school and outside of school. The school and the PkM Team have almost the same views and suggestions, namely that there is a need for further activities in other forms, for example a Workshop within the framework of the Anti -Bullying School strengthening project

Abstract

The digital transformation of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs/UMKM) has become increasingly critical in Indonesia's post-pandemic economic recovery. This qualitative study examines the effectiveness of mentoring programs focused on Business Model Canvas (BMC) development and online marketing strategies using local platforms for UMKM acceleration. Through in-depth interviews with 15 UMKM owners, 5 mentors, and 3 platform representatives across various Indonesian cities, this research employs thematic content analysis to understand the impact of structured mentoring on digital transformation outcomes. The findings reveal that comprehensive BMC mentoring significantly enhances UMKM owners' understanding of business model components, with participants demonstrating improved capability in customer segmentation, value proposition development, and revenue stream diversification. Local platform adoption showed superior outcomes compared to international alternatives, with 35% average sales increases and enhanced operational efficiency. The study identifies key success factors including local language support, lower commission fees, and community-based learning approaches. These findings contribute to the understanding of effective community service methodologies for UMKM digital transformation and provide practical frameworks for scaling mentoring programs across Indonesia's diverse economic landscape.
