Abstract

Keberadaan limbah rumah tangga yang dihasilkan dari berbagai aktivitas manusia memberikan dampak yang cukup besar terhadap Kesehatan Masyarakat maupun kualitas lingkungan. Di Desa Sidorejo, masih ditemukan banyak sampah organik dan anorganik yang bersumber dari kegiatan sehari-hari warga, khususnya dari rumah tangga. Untuk mengatasi hal tersebut, salah satu langkah yang efektif adalah dengan melaksanakan penyuluhan serta pelatihan mengenai pengelolaan sampah berbasis konsep 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). Konsep ini menekankan pada upaya mengurangi, menggunakan kembali, dan mendaur ulang sampah, sehingga diharapkan mampu menciptakan lingkungan yang bersih, nyaman, dan sehat serta mendukung terwujudnya kawasan dengan system pengelolaan sampah mandiri. Tujuan utama dari kegiatan ini adalah untuk: (1) memberikan edukasi kepada masyarakat tentang pentingnya memilah sampah organic dan anorganik sebagai langkah awal penerapan 3R dan (2) memberikan pengetahuan praktis mengenai pemanfaatan sampah organik menjadi pupuk kompos serta mengolah sampah anorganik menjadi produk kerajinan yang bernilai guna. Kegiatan penyuluhan dilaksanakan di aula Balai Desa Sidorejo pada hari Sabtu, 9 Agustus 2025 pukul 09.00 WIB dengan metode pemberian materi, demonstrasi, serta diskusi yang interaktif. Pelaksanaan kegiatan dilakukan melalui tiga tahap, yaitu tahap persiapan, pelaksanaan, dan evaluasi. Hasil yang dicapai menunjukkan adanya peningkatan kesadaran masyarakat mengenai pentingnya pengelolaan sampah. Warga mulai terbiasa memilah sampah organik dan anorganik, serta terinspirasi untuk menerapkan konsep 3R dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Pengetahuan masyarakat mengenai pemanfaatan sampah juga meningkat, sehingga mendukung terciptanya lingkungan yang bersih, sehat, dan lestari. The presence of household waste generated from various human activities has a considerable impact on public health and environmental quality. In Sidorejo Village, there are still many organic and inorganic waste sources from residents' daily activities, especially from households. To overcome this, one effective step is to provide counseling and training on the 3R concept of waste management (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). This concept emphasizes efforts to reduce, reuse, and recycle waste, with the aim of creating a clean, comfortable, and healthy environment and supporting the development of areas with independent waste management systems. The main purpose of this activity is to: (1) provide education to the public about the importance of sorting organic and inorganic waste as a first step in implementing 3R, and (2) provide practical knowledge about the use of organic waste in compost fertilizers and processing inorganic waste into useful craft products. The counseling activity was held at the Sidorejo Village Hall on Saturday, August 9, 2025, at 09.00 WIB, using methods including the provision of materials, demonstrations, and interactive discussions. The activity is implemented in three stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. The results showed an increase in public awareness of the importance of waste management. Residents began to get used to sorting out organic and inorganic waste, and were inspired to implement the 3R concept in everyday life. Public awareness of the use of garbage also increases, thereby supporting the creation of a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment.

Abstract

Rendahnya kesadaran masyarakat dalam menjaga kelestarian lingkungan mengakibatkan berkurangnya ruang hijau akibat alih fungsi lahan dan sedikit peduli terhadap penghijauan. Kondisi tersebut berdampak pada menurunnya kualitas udara, meningkatnya suhu lingkungan, kekeringan, serta berkurangnya potensi ekonomi desa dari sektor pertanian buah-buahan. Melalui program pengabdian masyarakat ini, dosen dan mahasiswa Universitas Islam Sultan Agung berinisiatif melakukan penghijauan di Desa Pilangsari, Kecamatan Sayung, Kabupaten Demak tepatnya di RW. 04 dan RW. 05 dengan diversifikasi tanaman buah sebagai solusi inovatif. Sehingga, program ini menekankan penanaman berbagai varian tanaman buah yang tidak hanya mendukung konservasi alam, tetapi juga berkontribusi pada pemberdayaan masyarakat melalui pemanfaatan hasil panen. Hasil dan pembahasan terhadap pelaksanaan program tersebut dilakukan dengan survei dan sowan RW setempat terkait pelaksanaan program penghijauan; pemilihan bibit tanaman buah yang sesuai dengan kondisi lingkungan; persiapan lahan dan media tanam; pelaksanaan penanaman dan pendistribusian bibit kepada masyarakat di setiap RW agar tercipta keterlibatan aktif warga di Desa Pilangsari. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan meningkatnya partisipasi masyarakat, tumbuhnya kesadaran akan konservasi, serta terbukanya peluang ekonomi jangka panjang melalui hasil panen buah. Dengan pendekatan ini, Desa Pilangsari tidak hanya menjadi lebih hijau dan asri, tetapi juga lebih produktif dan berdaya. Ini menegaskan bahwa diversifikasi tanaman buah adalah strategi nyata yang mampu menghubungkan kepentingan ekologi dan kesejahteraan sosial secara berkelanjutan. Low public awareness of environmental sustainability has resulted in a reduction in green space due to land conversion and little concern for reforestation. This condition has an impact on declining air quality, increasing environmental temperatures, drought, and reducing the village's economic potential from the fruit farming sector. Through this community service program, lecturers and students of Sultan Agung Islamic University took the initiative to reforest Pilangsari Village, Sayung District, Demak Regency, specifically in RW. 04 and RW. 05 with fruit crop diversification as an innovative solution. Thus, this program emphasizes the planting of various fruit crop variants that not only support nature conservation, but also contribute to community empowerment through the utilization of harvested crops. The results and discussions on the implementation of the program were carried out through surveys and visits to local RWs regarding the implementation of the reforestation program; selection of fruit plant seeds that are suitable for environmental conditions; preparation of land and planting media; implementation of planting and distribution of seeds to the community in each RW to create active involvement of residents in Pilangsari Village. The results of the activity show increased community participation, growing awareness of conservation, and the opening of long-term economic opportunities through fruit harvests. With this approach, Pilangsari Village has not only become greener and more beautiful, but also more productive and empowered. This confirms that fruit crop diversification is a real strategy capable of sustainably linking ecological interests and social well-being.

Abstract

Pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan promosi digital bagi pelaku Usaha Kecil Menengah (UKM) Annisa 36 Semarang melalui sosialisasi pemanfaatan media sosial. UKM makanan olahan di Semarang sering mengalami kendala dalam memasarkan produk secara luas akibat minimnya literasi digital, sehingga penjualan bergantung pada pemasaran konvensional yang terbatas jangkauannya. Kegiatan dilaksanakan pada bulan Oktober 2024 dengan metode sosialisasi interaktif melibatkan 13 pelaku UKM Annisa 36. Materi mencakup pembuatan konten menarik di Instagram dan TikTok, strategi hashtag, analisis keterlibatan, serta optimalisasi iklan berbayar dengan biaya rendah. Peserta dibagi dalam workshop praktik dan pendampingan langsung. Hasil sosialisasi menunjukkan peningkatan 40% dalam jumlah pengikut/ followers Instagram UKM Annisa 36 dalam satu bulan pasca-kegiatan, serta lonjakan interaksi konten hingga 60%. Peserta mampu memproduksi konten mandiri dan memahami analitik metrik dasar. Kesimpulan, sosialisasi ini efektif memperkuat daya saing UKM di era digital, dengan rekomendasi follow-up berupa komunitas online berkelanjutan. Kegiatan ini berkontribusi pada pemberdayaan ekonomi lokal di Semarang. This community service aims to improve digital promotion capabilities for Annisa 36 Semarang Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) through socialization of the use of social media. Processed food SMEs in Semarang often experience obstacles in marketing products widely due to the lack of digital literacy, so sales depend on conventional marketing which has a limited reach. The activity was carried out in October 2024 with an interactive socialization method involving 13 SMEs from Annisa 36. Materials include creating engaging content on Instagram and TikTok, hashtag strategy, engagement analysis, and low-cost paid ad optimization. Participants were divided into hands-on practice and mentoring workshops. The results of the socialization showed a 40% increase in the number of Instagram followers of SME Annisa 36 in one month post-activity, as well as a surge in content interaction of up to 60%. Participants are able to produce self-contained content and understand basic analytics metrics. In conclusion, this socialization is effective in strengthening the competitiveness of SMEs in the digital era, with follow-up recommendations in the form of sustainable online communities. This activity contributes to the empowerment of the local economy in Semarang.

Abstract

As Indonesia becomes increasingly integrated into the global economy, English proficiency is essential for both educational and professional opportunities. However, traditional classroom instruction often prioritizes grammar and writing, resulting in limited development of students' speaking and listening skills. This study investigates students’ perceptions of informal English learning through their participation in the English Club at SMPN 14 Malang. Informal learning environments offer a dynamic setting for practicing English through discussions, storytelling, and interactive activities, thereby fostering both confidence and fluency. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the study gathered data from 20 students using open-ended questionnaires to explore their experiences. The findings reveal that students value the club’s relaxed atmosphere, interactive learning methods, and social elements, all of which contribute to increased motivation and language acquisition. Nevertheless, some students report difficulties with public speaking, group dynamics, and the pacing of activities. Recommendations for improvement include incorporating more film-based sessions and maintaining a fun, low-pressure learning environment. This study underscores the role of informal learning in complementing formal instruction and provides insights for educators seeking to design more engaging English language experiences.
