Abstract

Introduction : Coal mining plays an important role in the national economy, but after exploitation, mining land is often left in a damaged and unproductive condition. Therefore, revitalizing former coal mines is a strategic step to utilize degraded land into a new economic area that is oriented towards sustainability. Objective: The technical and environmental feasibility study aims to ensure that the revitalization of ex-mining land can be carried out safely, efficiently and in accordance with sustainability principles. This research also aims to explore the potential of former coal mining land as a basis for a sustainable green economy found at PT XYZ, as well as providing solutions to environmental challenges in a post-mining context. Method: Method: This community service integrates quantitative and qualitative methods to comprehensively understand the technical feasibility, environment, and green economic potential in ex-coal mining areas. Conclusion : Revitalization of ex-mining land can bring great potential in improving technical and environmental quality, utilizing renewable energy, and introducing more sustainable land use. Through improving soil quality, efficient management of natural resources, and utilizing renewable energy potential, ex-mining land can be converted into productive land that supports the green economy and sustainable development. Test data also shows that the revitalization of ex-mining land has a positive impact on soil pH quality, which can support more environmentally friendly and sustainable land management.

Abstract

Introduction: Mental disorders remain poorly understood and heavily stigmatized in many rural communities in Indonesia. This stigma often prevents individuals with mental health issues from seeking help, resulting in prolonged suffering and social isolation. Objective: This community service initiative aimed to increase awareness and reduce stigma related to mental disorders among health cadres and community members in Batujajar Timur Village through participatory mental health education. Method: The intervention was conducted in one full-day session involving 15 participants, consisting of local health cadres and community members. Participants engaged in interactive discussions, educational presentations, myth-busting activities, and testimonies from mental health caregivers. Pre- and post-tests were used to assess changes in knowledge and attitudes. Results: Following the session, participants demonstrated significant improvement in their understanding of mental disorders. The average post-test scores increased, and most participants expressed a more empathetic and inclusive attitude toward individuals with mental illness. Participants also conveyed a willingness to spread the knowledge to their families and neighbors. Conclusion: Culturally adapted mental health education that engages both health cadres and community members can effectively improve literacy and reduce stigma. Strengthening community capacity through education is a vital step in promoting mental well-being at the grassroots level.

Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that often leads to complications such as peripheral neuropathy and poor glycemic control. Diabetic foot exercise has been recognized as an effective non-pharmacological intervention to reduce blood glucose levels and improve foot sensitivity. Objective: This community service initiative aimed to empower individuals with diabetes to perform regular foot exercises to help lower blood glucose levels and alleviate neuropathic symptoms. Method: The intervention was carried out over six consecutive days with 10 participants diagnosed with diabetes. Each participant was guided to perform diabetic foot exercises twice daily—morning and evening. Participants were educated about the importance of foot care and were encouraged to practice independently at home. Results: After six days of the intervention, participants reported improved well-being, reduced numbness and tingling in their feet, and enhanced motivation to continue the exercises. The average fasting blood glucose level decreased significantly from 309 mg/dL at baseline to 189 mg/dL post-intervention. Conclusion: Diabetic foot exercise is an effective and practical approach for glycemic control and neuropathy management. Community-based programs that support self-care routines can significantly improve health outcomes among individuals with diabetes.
