Abstract

The increase in the volume and variety of waste in Siwal Village, Baki, Sukoharjo, has prompted the need for a management strategy that is not only technically oriented but also focuses on improving the knowledge capacity of the community. The growing population and settlements have led to waste that has not been managed optimally, with much of it still scattered on roads and public areas. This initiative aims to enhance community understanding and engagement in waste management through system digitalisation and continuous education. The partner in this initiative is BUMDes Citra Abadi Siwal, which currently lacks a structured waste management system and faces limitations in terms of human resources and infrastructure. Through outreach, training, and mentoring, the community is actively involved in developing community-based waste management systems. The education provided includes waste sorting, the use of a web-based waste bank system, and the importance of waste management as an economic opportunity. The results of the activity show an increase in community knowledge and participation, particularly in terms of waste disposal and sorting. The implementation of a digital system also facilitates record-keeping, monitoring, and enhances transparency in management. Despite challenges such as old habits and infrastructure limitations, this initiative has positively impacted environmental cleanliness and economic contributions through the BUMDes business unit. Thus, this initiative serves as a strategic step in enhancing community capacity toward sustainable waste management.

Abstract

Understanding and skills in digital-based financial literacy are essential, this requires the younger generation, especially students, to have these skills. However, based on the National Survey of Financial Literacy and Inclusion in 2022, it showed a low financial literacy index among the 18-25 age group of 39.94%, therefore targeted educational interventions are needed. Community service activities were carried out to improve the digital financial literacy of the management of the Semarang University Student Koperasi (KOPMA) through training and mentoring. The implementation method consists of four stages, namely socialization and pre-test, interactive training, technical assistance, and evaluation and post-test. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in participant understanding, with the average post-test score increasing from 48 to 82. In addition, 92% of participants stated that they were ready to implement a digital financial recording system in management of koperasi. This activity succeeded in equipping participants with skills in using the Google Sheet and BukuKas applications for recording transactions, preparing financial reports, and cooperative cash planning. This program has an impact that effective digital financial literacy training can strengthen the governance of student cooperatives and form a young generation that is financially intelligent and adaptive to technological developments.

Abstract

Mundu Village is a village in Indonesia located in Tulung District, Klaten Regency, Central Java Province. The Statistics Indonesia (BPS) revealed that more than 60% of the residents of Mundu Village own cattle. This condition has led the community to utilize cattle manure as a source of renewable energy. Additionally, cattle manure is processed into fertilizer to nourish various plants, some of which serve as a food source for the livestock. This activity is known as zero-waste agriculture. This condition encouraged the Mundu Village government to establish a Tourism Village that offers educational tourism based on renewable energy. Mundu Village already has several buildings to support the realization of the Tourism Village. However, Mundu Village is not yet ready in terms of institutions. The community service team from the Faculty of Economics and Business and the Faculty of Law of Muhammadiyah University of Surakarta provided education and assistance in preparing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to support the acceleration of institutional readiness in the effort to establish an Educational Tourism Village based on Renewable Energy. The activity proceeded successfully, marked by the preparation of a draft SOP that is ready to be approved, supporting the institutional strengthening of the Tourism Village.

Abstract

The high prevalence of smoking in Indonesia, especially among adolescents aged 15 and above, remains a public health problem. Schools, as educational institutions, play a crucial role in shaping student behavior, including preventing smoking. This community service program aims to examine the impact of video-assisted education on students' knowledge and attitudes toward the Smoke-Free Area (KTR) policy at MTs Waru Sukoharjo. The study employed a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test methods, and video as an intervention tool. Forty-five students participated in the study. The results, analyzed using the Wilcoxon test, showed a significant increase in students' knowledge (from a mean score of 5.40 to 6.11; p=0.002) and attitudes (from 10.06 to 11.60; p=0.004) after the education. These findings demonstrate that video media is effective in increasing students' awareness and support for the KTR policy at school. This initiative supports the broader goal of improving health and preventing early smoking among adolescents. The recommended follow-up is to monitor the implementation of policies in the school environment.
