Abstract

The use of social media in the Keciput tourist village to promote the tourist village has been carried out with an Instagram account. However, social media contents are less exciting and informative, so it is necessary to develop the content. Implementing community service in the Keciput tourist village focuses on training activities for making Instagram social media by filling in exciting and informative content. On the other hand, this service activity also holds training related to tourism digitization. The outcome of this community service is the existence of a unique Instagram for tourism content with interesting, informative content in the Keciput tourist village. The conclusion obtained from this community service is that there is community enthusiasm from the Keciput tourism village to carry out innovative promotions. It is hoped that digital media and promotional strategies prepared by the village can bring in tourists visiting the Keciput tourist village

This study analyzes the dynamics of marriage dispensation in Pangkalan Bun and its implications for children’s rights and protection. The research method used a qualitative approach with primary data obtained through in-depth interviews with religious courts, child protection organizations, community leaders, and families who applied for marriage dispensation. The results showed that marriage dispensation is often used due to economic factors, pregnancy outside marriage, and social pressure.

Abstract

Polyandry, although rare, is a complex and controversial phenomenon in Indonesia, including in West Kotawaringin District. These cases often involve conflicts of law, religious norms and customs that require specialized resolution approaches. This article aims to explore the effectiveness of mediation as a dispute resolution method in polyandry cases in the region. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the research relies on in-depth interviews with perpetrators, mediators, religious leaders, customary leaders, as well as analysis of relevant legal documents. The results show that mediation has significant potential in resolving polyandry cases, especially as this approach prioritizes dialogue, mutual understanding and adjustment to local norms. However, the success of mediation is often constrained by differences in legal interpretation between adat and religion, lack of mediator capacity, and resistance from the parties involved. Nonetheless, some cases were successfully resolved through adaptive mediation, resulting in solutions that were more acceptable to all parties. The research concludes that mediation can be an effective alternative in resolving polyandry disputes if supported by trained mediators, collaboration between stakeholders, and a culture-based approach. Strategic recommendations include improving the training of local mediators and strengthening the integration between customary, religious and state laws to create sustainable solutions.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of mosque congregant assistance in optimizing the understanding of fiqh muamalah in the Gresik Regency. The researcher employs a social action research design through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation of counseling activities. The findings indicate that continuous guidance through counseling significantly enhances congregants’ understanding of fundamental fiqh muamalah concepts, such as sales transactions, debt obligations, and zakat practices. Participants demonstrate increased comprehension and application of these principles daily, reflecting a deeper understanding of Islamic economic ethics. Although the results are positive, several challenges arise, including time constraints, limited access to easily comprehensible literature, and varying levels of participant motivation. This article recommends developing a more structured and inclusive counseling program using digital technology to support independent learning and expand accessibility. Therefore, collaboration between religious leaders, local governments, and Islamic educational institutions is essential to ensure the program’s sustainability and long-term impact. By integrating these strategies, fiqh muamalah can be a solid foundation for building a just and prosperous society in line with Islamic principles. This study provides valuable insights into community-based religious education and its role in promoting ethical economic practices

Abstract

Banana is a climacteric fruit that continues to ripen after harvesting, and the ripening process plays a crucial role in determining its market value, taste, and consumer safety. In Tawangmangu, a highland region of Central Java, many banana fruit sellers still employ traditional and unsafe methods for ripening, including the use of non-food-grade chemicals. This community service program aimed to enhance the knowledge and practices of 10 local banana sellers by providing participatory training on natural and safe ripening techniques, with a focus on Ambon bananas (Musa paradisiaca var. sapientum). The training combined theoretical education with hands-on practice in using ethylene-based and hygienic ripening methods. Pre- and post-test evaluations revealed a significant increase in participants’ understanding of postharvest physiology and food safety. Furthermore, 80% of the sellers demonstrated the ability to construct and apply low-cost ripening chambers using local materials, and reported reduced fruit spoilage, improved customer satisfaction, and increased marketability. The program successfully bridged the knowledge gap and introduced a practical, low-resource solution aligned with sustainable development goals. This model has the potential to be replicated in other rural agricultural markets to improve food safety and support local economic empowerment.

Abstract

Bungah District is known as the center of the Songkok industry in Gresik Regency and has significant economic potential. However, the sustainability of this business faces serious challenges, including market stagnation due to low digital literacy and the absence of halal product assurance, which is now an absolute requirement for the global market. The inability to adapt to technology makes it difficult for local products to penetrate modern marketplaces. This community service program aims to enhance the global competitiveness of Songkok MSMEs by adopting Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology in marketing strategies and accelerating business legitimacy. The approach used is Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) integrated with the Participatory Learning and Action (PLA) method. This activity actively involved 30 Songkok artisans through stages of socialization, technical training in creating visual content with Canva AI, and assistance with registering SiHalal accounts. Program effectiveness was measured using comparative pre-test and post-test analysis. The results showed a significant increase in partners’ average understanding, rising from an initial score of 10% to 82.5% post-intervention. In addition to improving cognitive competence, this activity successfully produced tangible outputs, including 28 AI-based professional digital catalog designs, 30 active social media business accounts, and 30 draft documents for halal certification submissions under the self-declare scheme. The program concludes that integrating efficient AI technology with compliance with Sharia regulations effectively increases partners' self-efficacy to transform from traditional markets into a competitive, sustainable export ecosystem.
