Abstract

The problem of plastic waste is an increasingly complex environmental issue due to the increasing consumption of single-use plastics and the low level of community-based management. This study aims to analyze the use of plastic waste as a creative economy product through a community-based recycling approach, a sustainable solution that integrates environmental, social, and economic aspects. This approach positions the community as the primary actor in the waste management process, from sorting and processing to the creation of economically valuable products, thereby encouraging active participation and increasing environmental awareness. The research method used was a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving field observations, in-depth interviews with community actors, and analysis of documentation related to community-based recycling activities. The results show that utilizing plastic waste through the creative economy not only reduces the volume of plastic waste but also has a positive impact on increasing community income, strengthening social capacity, and fostering local economic independence. The resulting products possess aesthetic and functional value that is competitive in the local market. The study's conclusions confirm that the community-based recycling approach is an effective and sustainable strategy for managing plastic waste while simultaneously encouraging the development of the community's creative economy. Therefore, policy support, ongoing mentoring, and collaboration between the government, academia, and the private sector are needed to expand the implementation of this model as part of environmentally conscious development and community empowerment.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a strategic role in boosting economic growth, but they still face various challenges in financial management, particularly related to transaction recording, financial planning, and the use of digital technology. This community service program aims to improve the digital-based financial management capacity of MSMEs to strengthen their economic competitiveness. The program implementation method includes identifying partner needs, simple financial management training, mentoring in the use of digital financial recording applications, and evaluating the implementation of business financial management systems. Participants were MSMEs in the target area who have limitations in implementing technology-based financial management. The results of the program showed an increase in participants' understanding and skills in systematic financial recording, separating business and personal finances, and preparing simple financial reports using digital applications. In addition, business owners began to be able to utilize financial data for business planning and economic decision-making. This program also resulted in increased business management efficiency and opened up market expansion opportunities through integration with digital platforms. Therefore, strengthening digital-based financial management capacity is a crucial strategy in supporting business sustainability and increasing community economic competitiveness. This program is recommended to be continued through ongoing mentoring to ensure the consistent implementation of digital financial management in MSMEs

Abstract

Abstract The low level of legal literacy in rural communities often leads to various social problems, such as inter-resident conflicts, rights violations, and low community participation in the village development process. This community service program aims to improve community understanding of the rights and obligations of citizens through participatory and applicable legal outreach activities. The implementation method includes identifying community needs, developing outreach materials, and implementing legal education through interactive lectures, group discussions, and simple case simulations relevant to village life. The activities also include the distribution of educational modules as a medium for continuous learning. Evaluation of the activities was carried out through pre- and post-tests to measure improvements in participant understanding, as well as participatory observation during the activities. The results of the activities showed an increase in community understanding of the rights and obligations of citizens, particularly regarding compliance with the law, conflict resolution through deliberation, and awareness of the importance of participation in village development. In addition, the community demonstrated increased awareness in accessing legal services and government administration correctly. This program has had a positive impact on increasing legal awareness and strengthening the relationship between the community and village officials in creating an orderly and harmonious social order. Thus, a village-based legal counseling program can be an effective legal empowerment model to improve the quality of social life in a sustainable manner.

Abstract

Micro-enterprises in rural areas play a vital role in supporting the local economy, yet they still face various challenges in production and financial management, resulting in low productivity. This community service program aims to enhance the capacity of micro-enterprises through production and financial management training to encourage increased productivity and business sustainability in rural areas. The program implemented a participatory approach, encompassing partner needs identification, production management training, financial record keeping, and direct mentoring for implementing business management within participating businesses. The training materials covered production planning, product quality control, raw material efficiency, production cost recording, and the preparation of simple financial reports. The results demonstrated an increase in participants' understanding of how to plan production processes more efficiently and their ability to systematically record their business finances. Furthermore, entrepreneurs began to be able to control production costs and improve product quality, resulting in increased production volume and revenue. This program also fostered awareness among entrepreneurs about the importance of professional business management to maintain business sustainability amidst increasingly competitive markets. Thus, production and financial management training is an effective strategy for increasing the productivity of rural micro-enterprises while strengthening the local economy. It is recommended that this program be continued through ongoing mentoring to ensure consistent implementation of business management practices.

Abstract

Community-based literacy programs have emerged as an important strategy to improve educational outcomes by engaging communities in supporting learners’ literacy development beyond formal schooling. This study aims to analyze the effect of community-based literacy programs on students’ learning motivation and academic performance. The research employs a quantitative approach using survey and academic performance data collected from participants involved in community literacy initiatives. The programs typically include reading clubs, community tutoring sessions, mobile libraries, and collaborative learning spaces designed to strengthen reading habits and provide academic assistance. The findings indicate that participation in community-based literacy programs significantly contributes to increased learning motivation among students. Learners involved in such programs demonstrate greater enthusiasm for reading, improved learning discipline, and stronger engagement in classroom activities. Furthermore, improved literacy skills positively influence academic achievement, particularly in language-related subjects and overall academic performance. The study also reveals that community participation, availability of learning resources, and supportive learning environments are crucial factors determining program success. However, challenges such as limited funding, inconsistent program management, and unequal access to literacy facilities remain obstacles in maximizing program outcomes. Strengthening partnerships between schools, communities, and local governments is essential to ensure program sustainability and broader impact. The study concludes that community-based literacy programs play a vital role in enhancing students’ motivation and academic achievement by creating supportive learning ecosystems beyond school settings. Therefore, integrating community literacy initiatives into broader educational development policies is recommended to improve long-term learning outcomes and educational equity.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze and formulate a model for strengthening village governance based on public accountability in realizing good governance. The main issues raised are the still low transparency, community participation, and accountability in financial management and public services at the village level, which has implications for low public trust in the village government. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design in several villages that serve as the research locus. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and analysis of village financial planning and reporting documents. Data analysis was conducted interactively through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results show that strengthening village governance requires an integration between budget transparency, community participation in development planning, strengthening internal control systems, and optimizing the use of information technology in village public administration. In addition, the capacity of village officials in financial management and public services is a key factor in creating sustainable accountability. The resulting model emphasizes a collaborative approach between the village government, the Village Consultative Body, and the community through inclusive deliberation mechanisms and transparent financial reporting. The implications of this research provide conceptual contributions to the development of a public accountability-based village governance model as well as practical recommendations for local governments in strengthening village monitoring and development systems. Thus, strengthening public accountability-based governance becomes a strategic strategy in realizing the principles of good governance at the village government level.

Abstract

This study examines the role of legal awareness and community empowerment in enhancing access to justice within marginalized communities. Grounded in the perspectives of Legal Studies and Sociolegal Studies, the research explores how individuals’ understanding of legal rights and their capacity for collective action influence their ability to seek and obtain justice. The study aims to analyze the extent to which legal awareness contributes to empowerment processes and to identify structural and cultural barriers that hinder equitable access to justice. This research employs a qualitative approach using in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis to capture the lived experiences of community members, legal aid providers, and local stakeholders. Data were analyzed through thematic analysis to identify recurring patterns related to legal knowledge, empowerment strategies, and institutional responsiveness. The findings reveal that increased legal awareness significantly enhances individuals’ confidence and willingness to engage with formal legal mechanisms. Moreover, community empowerment initiatives, such as legal education programs and grassroots advocacy, play a crucial role in bridging the gap between formal legal systems and vulnerable populations. However, the study also identifies persistent challenges, including limited institutional capacity, socio-economic inequalities, and cultural perceptions that discourage legal engagement. The research concludes that strengthening access to justice requires an integrated approach that combines legal literacy, participatory empowerment, and institutional reform. This study contributes to the development of more inclusive legal frameworks by emphasizing the importance of community-based strategies in achieving substantive justice.
