Abstract

Bira Beach in South Sulawesi is a leading coastal tourism destination with strong potential for local economic growth through micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). However, many MSMEs still face challenges related to limited digital literacy, product innovation, and understanding of sustainable business management. This community service program was designed to enhance MSME competitiveness, promote sustainable business practices aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), improve digital literacy, and foster collaboration among entrepreneurs, academics, and local government. Using participatory collaborative and descriptive methods, the program implemented a series of workshops, mentoring sessions, and field visits focusing on financial technology adoption, creative product innovation, and sustainable creative economy training. The results show an increased understanding of sustainable business concepts, greater readiness to adopt financial technology such as QRIS and e-wallets, and enhanced digital marketing capabilities among MSME participants. The program also encouraged stronger cooperation between MSMEs and local stakeholders to support long-term independence and sustainable community-based economic development in the Bira Beach area.

Abstract

This community engagement project aimed to address operational challenges faced by Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) through an integrated Point of Sales (POS) system. A case study at Akane Beauty Studio and Salon used a User-Centered Design (UCD) and Rapid Application Development (RAD) approach, managed under the PMBOK framework. The implementation yielded a significant impact on operational efficiency, notably reducing transaction time from over one minute to under one minute. A comparison of the workflow also showed improvement, with a manual process that previously took four minutes now being completed in two minutes. User Acceptance Testing (UAT) confirmed the system was fully functional and easy to use. This project demonstrates that a user-centric digital solution can tangibly improve the efficiency, data accuracy, and business sustainability of MSMEs.

Abstract

HIV-related stigma remains a major barrier to effective homecare for people living with HIV (PLHIV). This community service program focused on empowering AIDS Care Volunteers in Bandung, Indonesia. The program aimed to enhance knowledge, caregiving skills, and social acceptance toward PLHIV. Thirty AIDS care volunteers participated in a capacity strengthening workshop co-designed and implemented using a Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) approach. Activities included participatory learning sessions, role-play simulations, group reflections, and collective action planning. Evaluation combined pre–post testing and qualitative reflections. Results showed significant improvements in HIV knowledge (t = –7.60, p<0.001) and social acceptance (Z = –4.026, p<0.001). Participants also demonstrated increased critical awareness, emergence of local leadership, and stronger collaboration with the Bandung City AIDS Commission. These outcomes highlight the potential of community-based empowerment programs to reduce stigma and strengthen sustainable HIV care.

This community service program addressed the challenges of weak financial management and lack of technological innovation in the development of Petengoran mangrove ecotourism in Gebang Village, Lampung. The subject of this program is the Petengoran Mangrove Conservation Group and 35 village residents, including women, youth, and local leaders. The purpose was to strengthen community capacity in managing ecotourism through IoT-based monitoring and digital promotion. The method employed includes training sessions, IoT device installation, digital campaign assistance, pre-test and post-test evaluations, and collaborative mentoring between academia and the community. Results show significant improvements in participants’ knowledge scores, increased engagement of women and youth in conservation activities, adoption of digital-based promotion strategies, enhanced organizational capacity, and stronger local leadership involvement. These outcomes highlight the contribution of integrated technological and social empowerment approaches in supporting sustainable mangrove-based ecotourism.
