Abstract

Background: This study addresses the critical social issue of violence and bullying within Islamic educational institutions. It focuses on the role and potential of senior santri (students) as peer mentors in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) in Kediri, Indonesia, to act as agents of peace and change. Purpose of the Study: The purpose is to examine how values grounded in education and empathy can mitigate violence, specifically through the peer mentoring practices of senior santri. The objective is to understand the nature of this mentorship to inform the development of a community-based violence prevention model. Methods: This community service program (Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat - PkM) employs a participatory action research (PAR) approach and a qualitative phenomenological design. The method involved collaborative engagement with ten senior santri through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data were analyzed using the Moustakas phenomenological method. Results: The analysis identified seven core themes defining the mentorship, including its role as moral leadership, a shift from authority to empathy, and its function as a reflective, spiritual practice for violence prevention. The findings position peer mentorship as a foundational element for humanistic education (tarbiyah Islamiyah) and provide a basis for developing ethical training models to foster safe, non-violent educational environments.

Abstract

Background: The increasing elderly population presents a challenge in meeting their psychosocial and spiritual needs. Learning the Quran in later life is often hindered by methods that are not age-friendly, leading to social isolation and reduced spiritual well-being. Purpose of the Study: This program was designed to implement a Religious Experience Learning (REL) approach to address three core issues: developing a suitable pedagogical method, enhancing access and participation through effective mentoring, and ultimately strengthening the spiritual wellness of elderly participants. Methods: The program employed a Service Learning methodology, structured in three stages: preparation, implementation (participatory REL-based learning, and reflection. The REL framework integrated technical (Bagdadi method), reflective (contextual hermeneutics), and spiritual (contemplative practice) dimensions. Results: The program achieved holistic transformation. Methodologically, a shift to humanistic approaches created a psychological safety and increased intrinsic motivation. Socially, a multi-generational community and empathetic mentoring reduced isolation. The primary outcome was enhanced spiritual wellness, evidenced by the personalization of worship, internalization of Quranic values as a life framework, and the achievement of eudaimonic well-being marked by inner peace (sakinah), self-acceptance, and a profound sense of meaning in life.

Abstract

Background: Female heads of households in rural areas face economic vulnerability due to limited access to productive resources and high dependence on household food expenditures. In rural households, the potential of kitchen waste and yard land has not been managed in an integrated manner. Purpose of the Study: This article aims to analyze the implementation of a community service program based on a circular economy through the integration of native chicken (layer) farming, kitchen waste management, and micro-vegetable gardens for female heads of households. Methods: The community service program used a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, involving participants as active subjects in problem identification, action planning, implementation, and reflection. Data was collected through participatory observation, FGDs, interviews, questionnaires, and production records. Results: The results showed a Hen Day Production rate of 70–80%, additional income of Rp 180,000–Rp 390,000 per month, and savings on vegetable purchases of Rp 40,000–Rp 60,000 per month. The integration of activities formed a circular economy flow that strengthened household economic and food resilience.

Abstract

Background: Plastic waste mismanagement in rural communities poses serious environmental and health threats, particularly when residents resort to open burning that releases toxic smoke. In Manikrejo Village, all household plastic waste—except bottles sold to scavengers—was either burned or discarded into the environment, with no prior community knowledge of plastic-to-fuel conversion technology. This community service program aimed to address this problem by introducing simple pyrolysis technology combined with locally sourced biomass as an alternative heat source. Purpose of the Study: The program aimed to empower the community through technical skills transfer, foster environmental awareness, and establish a sustainable, community-based plastic waste management system. Methods: A participatory community development approach was employed through four stages: initial observation, planning and preparation, workshop and training (three sessions, 12 hours total), and mentoring and evaluation (four weeks). A total of 25 community members participated in all stages, collaboratively constructing a simple pyrolysis reactor from recycled materials. Results: The program yielded significant outcomes. Participant knowledge increased substantially, with pre-test and post-test mean scores rising from 28.4 to 81.2—a gain of 52.8 points. Each 5 kg of plastic waste was successfully converted into approximately 3.5 liters of pyrolysis oil and 1 kg of biochar, with an optimum oil yield of 25.7% at 415°C. Evaluation demonstrated that 92% of participants were able to operate the reactor independently. The program also catalyzed the formation of a village waste management group, ensuring long-term sustainability.

Abstract

Background: The development of tourism at Situ Gede Lake and local MSMEs through a web-based digital promotion and data analysis approach addresses the need for local tourism to compete more effectively. This community service focuses on empowering local MSMEs within the tourism ecosystem using digital technology. Purpose of the Study: This study aims to develop a web-based platform that integrates digital promotion and data analysis to support tourism digitalization at Situ Gede Lake, enhance MSME empowerment, and introduce data-driven visitor trend analysis using the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) deep learning method. Methods: The platform was developed using daily visitor data from the Situ Gede Village Office. The LSTM model was applied to forecast tourist numbers through 2026. Socialization and training were conducted on July 3, 2025, with 31 participants from POKDARWIS, MSME actors, village officials, and the community. The web application (https://situgede-ssmi.ipb.ac.id/) integrates a visitor statistics dashboard, MSME catalog, interactive map, event schedule, and waste management education. Results: The dashboard reveals an average of 53 visitors per day, 17 active communities, and estimated daily revenue of 2.5 million rupiah. LSTM predictions indicate a seasonal surge in mid-2026 potentially exceeding 400 visitors per day. MSME actors showed readiness to utilize the digital catalog, and participants responded positively to improved information access. Early findings demonstrate that combining web-based digital promotion and data analysis enhances MSME visibility, supports sustainable tourism development, and strengthens environmental awareness at Situ Gede Lake.

Abstract

Background: Community-based hydroponic farming at BGD Hydrofarm faces challenges including manual monitoring, static Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and limited digital literacy, which reduce operational efficiency and accuracy. This community service program addresses these issues through the introduction of adaptive digital technologies. Purpose of the Study: This study aims to improve hydroponic management practices and strengthen community capacity by co-developing adaptive digital SOPs that support data-driven decision-making at BGD Hydrofarm. Methods: A participatory approach was applied, including needs assessment, co-design sessions, system development, training workshops, and participatory monitoring and evaluation. The GardenKeeper system integrates IoT-based sensors (monitoring pH, TDS, temperature, humidity, and plant visual condition) with generative artificial intelligence (Google Gemini AI) to provide real-time monitoring and adaptive SOP recommendations via a mobile application. Results: The program resulted in reduced manual workload, improved monitoring efficiency, and increased partner confidence in using digital technology. Behavioral shifts from experience-based to data-driven decision-making were observed, with SOP consultations becoming a shared reference for collective action. Partners independently operated the application, and external stakeholders (Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs, IGES) recognized the system's potential scalability. The before-after comparison showed improved digital confidence, reduced operational errors, and strengthened collaborative decision-making.

Abstract

Large cities' extremely high levels of activity contribute to rising air pollution, which can make residents feel stressed. We must be able to find a solution to this issue, but we cannot deny or resist this circumstance. Environmental pollution from garbage and air pollution is a common issue in large cities like Bekasi City, one of the supporting cities for DKI Jakarta province. For the city of Bekasi to have alternative options for environmental sustainability, these two issues need to be addressed. Teaching people about the value of preserving the environment is one of the practical steps being taken to maintain and preserve it in the Bekasi City area. Since it can create a culture of understanding of the value of protecting the environment, this education must be continued for upcoming generations. The goal of choosing education at the orphanage was to encourage children's involvement in caring for the conditions of the surrounding environment in urban areas. Researchers and a team implemented this education at one of the homes in Bekasi City. Sorting and choosing rubbish is one of the actual tasks completed in order to prevent waste accumulation. As a tangible step toward supplying oxygen in the future, planting trees is another activity. The outcomes of carrying out this activity can be successful, and it is hoped that it will foster a positive culture within the community by emphasizing the value of sustaining a sustainable environment in the vicinity of their homes.
