Abstract

Stunting remains a significant nutritional challenge in many coastal areas of Indonesia, including Kuala Tanjung Village, Batu Bara Regency. This study aims to analyse PKK-based family empowerment strategies for stunting prevention within a coastal community context. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), participatory observations, and documentary analysis. The findings indicate that PKK plays an important role in strengthening cadre capacity, providing family nutrition education, encouraging mothers’ participation in health activities, and facilitating collaboration among community stakeholders. Activities such as counselling on the first 1,000 days of life, demonstrations of nutritious local food preparation, child growth monitoring, and family nutrition initiatives were associated with increased community participation and observed changes in household dietary practices. Collaboration among PKK cadres, health workers, posyandu, and village authorities further supported programme implementation. However, challenges remained, particularly variations in cadres’ technical capacity and socio-cultural perceptions of stunting. The findings suggest that participatory empowerment, the use of locally available food resources, and cross-sectoral collaboration may contribute to creating a supportive family and community environment for stunting prevention. The proposed empowerment model should therefore be understood as a context-specific conceptual synthesis, with potential transferability to coastal or rural communities with comparable socio-economic, cultural, and institutional conditions.

Abstract

Blue swimming crab shell waste is a by-product of fisheries processing that remains underutilized and has potential for further development through waste valorization. This community service activity aimed to facilitate members of the SIPARESO Creative Economy Group in practicing the utilization of blue swimming crab shell flour as an additional ingredient in the production of feed pellet prototypes and to describe the implementation of the practical process, participants’ responses, and the outputs produced. The activity was conducted on August 9, 2026, in Kuri Caddi Hamlet, Nisombalia Village, Marusu District, Maros Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia, involving 15 group members. A participatory hands-on approach was employed, comprising education, demonstration, guided group practice, mentoring, and evaluation. Data were collected through observations of group practice implementation, participant interviews, and documentation of the process and outputs. The nominal formulation used approximately 5 kg of ingredients, including 0.5 kg of blue swimming crab shell flour, representing approximately 10% of the total formulation. The results showed that the group was able to carry out the basic stages of ingredient preparation, mixing, steaming, and other processing procedures, with varying levels of assistance required across stages. Participants viewed the utilization of blue swimming crab shells as an alternative approach to utilizing fisheries by-products; however, its sustainability remains dependent on the availability of equipment and materials, process standardization, and continued technical assistance. Overall, the activity demonstrated the feasibility of transferring simple processing technology for the utilization of blue swimming crab by-products at the coastal community group level.
