Abstract

The accumulation of unmanaged household organic waste remains a persistent environmental challenge in rural areas, including Metut Village, Mentarang Hulu District, North Kalimantan, Indonesia, where organic waste is commonly burned or indiscriminately discarded. At the same time, local farmers continue to depend on relatively expensive chemical fertilizers. This community service program aimed to improve residents’ knowledge and practical skills in converting household organic waste into liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) as an affordable and environmentally friendly alternative for sustainable agriculture. The program employed a combination of community education and hands-on training implemented through four stages: socialization and educational counseling, training and demonstration, supervised independent practice, and evaluation using pre-test and post-test assessments. A total of 28 participants, consisting of housewives, farmer group members, and village youth, were involved in the program. The results demonstrated a substantial increase in participants’ knowledge, with average scores improving from 46.4 in the pre-test to 86.1 in the post-test. Participants successfully produced liquid organic fertilizer independently using kitchen waste fermented with a bioactivator for 14–21 days and subsequently applied the product to home garden crops. The program contributed to reducing household organic waste generation, lowering fertilizer expenditures, and promoting environmentally sustainable agricultural practices. These findings indicate that liquid organic fertilizer training is an effective approach for community empowerment and sustainable waste management in rural communities.

Abstract

Financial literacy is essential for strengthening household economic resilience and supporting the sustainability of household-based micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). However, many households continue to face challenges related to limited financial literacy, inadequate financial record-keeping, the mixing of business and household finances, and weak saving habits, all of which hinder effective financial management and long-term welfare. This community service program aimed to enhance financial capability and household welfare through a community-based financial education approach. The program was implemented in one of the banjar in Tonja Village, Denpasar City, Bali, involving 38 participants consisting of Family Welfare Empowerment (PKK) members and household-based MSME entrepreneurs. A participatory approach was employed through preliminary assessment, socialization, interactive training, simulation, practical bookkeeping exercises, mentoring, and evaluation using pre-test and post-test instruments. Five financial literacy indicators were assessed: household budgeting, financial record-keeping, separation of business and household finances, saving behavior, and emergency fund management. The findings revealed significant improvements across all indicators, with the average score increasing from 53.9 in the pre-test to 82.6 in the post-test, representing an overall improvement of 53.3%. The largest improvement was observed in the ability to separate business and household finances (65.8%), while the smallest increase occurred in saving behavior (40.6%). Moreover, 84.2% of participants successfully prepared household budgets, 78.9% consistently maintained financial records, 84.2% correctly calculated simple business profits, and 81.6% improved expenditure management. These findings demonstrate that community-based financial education combined with practical exercises and continuous mentoring effectively enhances financial knowledge, skills, and behavior, thereby contributing to stronger household financial resilience and sustainable economic welfare.

Abstract

Parental involvement is a critical determinant of early childhood education (ECE) outcomes, yet it remains persistently low in underserved urban communities in Indonesia due to socioeconomic pressures, low parental self-efficacy, and fragmented school-community linkages. This study employed a qualitative community-based participatory action research (PAR) design to co-develop, implement, and evaluate a culturally grounded parental involvement program in a densely populated, low-income neighborhood in North Jakarta. Over eight months, 32 parents, 4 ECE teachers, and 2 community facilitators engaged in three iterative cycles of planning, action, observation, and reflection. Data were gathered through participant observation, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and reflective journals, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The PAR process catalyzed four interconnected outcomes: heightened parental self-efficacy, richer home learning environments, improved parent-teacher communication, and the emergence of informal community support networks. A pre-post involvement checklist corroborated qualitative shifts, showing marked increases in all involvement indicators. The findings suggest that a participatory, asset-based approach can transform parental involvement from a prescriptive school demand into a shared community practice, thereby strengthening ECE outcomes in marginalized urban settings. The study offers a replicable model for fostering sustainable family-community-school partnerships in similar resource-constrained contexts.

Abstract

Anemia remains a significant public health problem, particularly among adolescent girls and women of reproductive age, due to its adverse effects on health, productivity, and quality of life. One potential strategy for anemia prevention is the utilization of functional local foods that are rich in iron and other nutrients essential for hemoglobin formation. This community service program, entitled “Empowerment of Midwifery Students through the Utilization of Functional Local Foods in Anemia Prevention: Collaboration with MAHSA University,” aimed to enhance the knowledge and capacity of midwifery students regarding the use of functional local foods as a sustainable approach to anemia prevention. The program was implemented through a collaborative partnership between Universitas Galuh, Indonesia, and MAHSA University, Malaysia. The activities were conducted through three main stages: program socialization, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation. The socialization stage focused on introducing the program objectives, benefits, and implementation strategies to participants and stakeholders. . A total of 40 participants were involved in the program, consisting of 36 midwifery students from Indonesia and 4 students from Malaysia. Educational materials focused on anemia prevention, the nutritional benefits of local food resources, and the utilization of functional local foods such as moringa leaves, spinach, legumes, and other locally available food sources. The results demonstrated an improvement in participants’ knowledge, understanding, and awareness regarding anemia prevention through the utilization of functional local foods. Participants also showed enhanced abilities in identifying nutritious local food resources and delivering health promotion messages to the community.In conclusion, the program successfully enhanced students’ capacity as future healthcare professionals and health promotion agents while promoting the sustainable utilization of local food resources for anemia prevention. This program may serve as a model for community empowerment initiatives that integrate health education, local resource utilization, and international collaboration to improve public health outcomes.

Abstract

Legal uncertainty surrounding hotel company acquisitions by foreign investors persists because corporate, investment, tourism, environmental, and land regulations remain fragmented and insufficiently coordinated. This study investigates the causes of regulatory inconsistency and proposes a harmonized legal framework capable of strengthening legal certainty while promoting sustainable tourism investment. A normative legal research design was employed using statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches, supported by qualitative analysis of primary and secondary legal materials. The findings demonstrate that existing regulations primarily emphasize transactional legality and investment facilitation without adequately integrating sustainability principles into acquisition governance. As a result, overlapping authorities and disconnected legal provisions continue to weaken regulatory coherence and investor confidence. The principal novelty of this research lies in developing a harmonized regulatory model that integrates legal substance, institutional coordination, and legal culture throughout the pre-acquisition, approval, post-acquisition, and monitoring stages. This model offers a comprehensive governance framework that balances investment certainty with environmental protection, socio-cultural preservation, and sustainable tourism development. Future studies should empirically evaluate the implementation of this model across different jurisdictions and tourism destinations to assess its practical effectiveness. Overall, regulatory harmonization provides a strategic legal foundation for achieving coherent investment governance and sustainable tourism development.

Abstract

This community service program aimed to conduct health screenings and provide educational interventions for non-communicable disease (NCD) prevention and early detection of cognitive impairment among elderly populations in Tapanuli Selatan Regency. The program involved 60 elderly participants (mean age 68.4 ± 6.2 years) from several villages within the working area of Puskesmas Pintu Padang. Screening methods included physical and biochemical examinations (blood pressure, random blood glucose, total cholesterol, and uric acid levels) as well as cognitive function assessments using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Clock Drawing Test (CDT). Results revealed that hypertension (65.0%), hyperglycemia (43.3%), and hypercholesterolemia (35.0%) were the most prevalent NCD risk factors, with 73.3% of participants having at least two risk factors. Cognitive impairment was identified in 25.0% of participants (16.7% mild, 8.3% moderate). Educational sessions successfully improved participants' knowledge regarding NCD prevention and cognitive health maintenance. The integrated screening and educational approach proved effective for early detection and health promotion in rural communities. Regular implementation of such programs, strengthened referral pathways to primary health centers, and continuous health education are essential strategies for improving elderly health outcomes in Tapanuli Selatan.

Abstract

Hypertension in pregnancy remains a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality, particularly in rural areas with limited healthcare access. This community service program aimed to improve knowledge and reduce blood pressure among hypertensive pregnant women through counseling and watermelon juice intervention in Aek Haruaya Village, North Padang Lawas. Thirty pregnant women with gestational hypertension, chronic hypertension, or mild preeclampsia (20–34 weeks gestation) participated in a 14-day program consisting of interactive health education sessions and consumption of 300 ml fresh watermelon juice twice daily. Knowledge was measured using a 20-item questionnaire pre- and post-counseling, while blood pressure was monitored at baseline and day 14. Results showed a significant increase in knowledge scores from 52.3 ± 8.7 to 84.6 ± 6.2 (p < 0.001). Systolic blood pressure decreased from 148.7 ± 10.2 mmHg to 132.4 ± 8.9 mmHg (mean reduction 16.3 mmHg, p < 0.001), and diastolic blood pressure decreased from 95.3 ± 7.1 mmHg to 84.6 ± 6.4 mmHg (mean reduction 10.7 mmHg, p < 0.001). No serious adverse effects were reported, and adherence reached 93.3%. The combination of culturally tailored counseling and locally available watermelon juice effectively improved knowledge and significantly reduced blood pressure in hypertensive pregnant women. This community-based intervention offers a low-cost, safe, and sustainable complementary strategy for managing pregnancy hypertension in underserved rural settings.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of Indonesia’s digital economy has compelled micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to enter digital contracts—often standardized agreements imposed by platforms or larger counterparties. These contracts frequently contain unfair terms that disadvantage MSMEs due to their limited legal literacy and bargaining power. This study examines a legal assistance program that aimed to empower MSMEs in Yogyakarta to draft and negotiate fairer digital contracts. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were gathered through in‑depth interviews with 30 MSME owners and five legal assistants, focus group discussions, and comparative document analysis of 60 digital contracts (pre‑ and post‑assistance). Thematic analysis revealed that before assistance, contracts were dominated by clauses unilaterally limiting liability, granting vendors unfettered amendment rights, and imposing burdensome dispute resolution mechanisms. Through a structured mentoring process—comprising legal literacy workshops, clause‑by‑clause review, collaborative redrafting, and negotiation simulations—MSMEs shifted from passive acceptance to active negotiation. Post‑assistance contracts demonstrated significant improvements in fairness indicators such as clarity, balance of obligations, and accessibility of remedies. The study also identified persistent challenges, including the reluctance of dominant platforms to alter standard terms and the need for sustained legal support. The findings underscore the transformative potential of community‑based legal assistance in fostering contractual justice within the digital economy. Policy recommendations include the development of government‑endorsed fair‑contract templates, integration of legal design principles into e‑commerce platforms, and institutionalization of accessible legal aid for MSMEs.

Abstract

This study analyzes the implementation of the Integrity Zone (ZI) towards a Corruption-Free Area (WBK) and a Clean and Serving Bureaucratic Area (WBBM) through a comparative study on BBPMP Central Java Province (Site 1) and BBPPMPV BOE Malang (Site 2). This bureaucratic reform aims to create a clean, accountable, and serving government. This qualitative research with a multicase case study design uses in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies as data sources, which are then analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana models. The findings of this research can be summarized in the acronym PRIMA, which includes: Committed Leadership, Cultural and Human Resources (HR) Reform, Digital Innovation and Service Systematization, Integrated Supervision Management, and Service Accountability and Satisfaction. Strong leadership commitment is a vital foundation at both sites, but the implementation strategies and key challenges are different. BBPMP Central Java faces a dominant challenge on the aspect of human factors (changes in employee mindsets) and therefore focuses on human resource development. On the other hand, BBPPMPV BOE Malang, which already has the foundation of ISO 9001 quality management version 2000, tends to focus more on digitalization-based service innovation. The conclusion of this study confirms that there is no single formula for the success of ZI; Adaptive strategies rely heavily on the initial diagnosis of constraints and capabilities of the organization. Experience with external quality standards such as ISO can serve as a prerequisite that accelerates the adoption of ZI and shifts the focus of constraints from human factors to system optimization through technology. This research contributes to enriching the literature on bureaucratic reform by highlighting the dynamics of change, the role of initial capabilities, and the importance of contextual analysis in the formulation of effective ZI strategies

Abstract

Stroke outcomes are strongly influenced by how quickly people recognize warning signs and activate emergency care, yet school communities are rarely prepared to respond to a suspected stroke occurring among teachers, staff, families, or visitors. This community-service program strengthened school preparedness through an integrated package of FAST education, stroke-related health literacy, guided emergency simulation, and development of a School Emergency Response System. The program was implemented at SMA Negeri 1 Ciamis, West Java, Indonesia, with teachers, student members of the School Health Unit, supervising teachers, and UKS personnel. Evaluation used an unmatched pre-post design because anonymous respondent codes were not available. The evaluation included 68 pre-activity and 14 post-activity responses, which were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U tests, Holm correction, and rank-biserial effect sizes. Post-activity scores were higher for stroke knowledge and case recognition (79.0±13.3 vs. 92.3±11.1; adjusted p=.002), health literacy (58.8±19.7 vs. 73.1±13.0; adjusted p=.012), and emergency response readiness (61.5±15.6 vs. 67.9±9.7; adjusted p=.036). The largest practical gain concerned avoiding oral food, fluids, or medication for a person with suspected stroke, while uncertainty remained about whether symptoms could be observed for 30-60 minutes. The program suggests that schools can become meaningful community nodes for stroke recognition when concise messages, reflective discussion, simulation, and institutional response procedures are combined. Continued reinforcement, paired follow-up evaluation, and routine UKS simulation are recommended.
