Abstract

Persons with disabilities often face barriers in gaining recognition and protection of their rights within society. The low level of public awareness remains a major obstacle to creating an inclusive and disability-friendly environment. This community service project aims to enhance awareness and understanding among residents of Sidomulyo Village, Sleman Regency, regarding the rights of persons with disabilities through a participatory mini project approach. The method consisted of initial observation, interactive socialization, development of educational media (posters and videos), and participatory evaluation. The results indicate a significant increase in public knowledge of disability rights, as evidenced by the pre- and post-activity questionnaire. Furthermore, a local resident group was formed to continue promoting inclusive education in the community. The mini project approach proved to be an effective and practical method for fostering community-based social awareness. It is hoped that this activity can be replicated in other regions with appropriate contextual adaptations.

Abstract

The purpose of this community service initiative was to socialize the importance of implementing Outcome-Based Education (OBE) in teaching materials at schools in the Batukliang District. The activities began with a needs assessment through surveys and interviews with teachers in the region, which revealed that their understanding of OBE was still limited. Subsequently, intensive training was conducted to provide a solid understanding of the fundamental concepts of OBE and how to implement them in the development of syllabi, Lesson Plans (RPP), and competency-based assessments. After the training, teachers applied the knowledge they had gained in their classroom teaching and provided feedback on the challenges they faced, particularly in developing competency-based evaluations. The training results indicated an improvement in the teachers' understanding of the OBE concepts and their application, although some challenges remained, such as time constraints, limited resources, and difficulties in creating holistic assessments. The support of school principals also proved crucial in ensuring the successful implementation of OBE. The post-training evaluations showed that the teachers found the activities valuable and felt that their skills in designing OBE-based learning had improved. Overall, this community service initiative successfully enhanced the quality of teachers' understanding and skills in implementing OBE in the Batukliang District. It is hoped that this initiative can serve as a model for other regions, with the goal of improving the quality of education that is relevant to the demands of the workforce.

Abstract

This community service program was a collaboration between the Faculty of Economics and Business, Atma Jaya University Makassar, and the Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda) of Puncak Regency, Central Papua. The activity was conducted in the form of Technical Guidance on Regional Taxes and Levies (PDRD), held from March 11 to 14, 2025, at Kyriad Haka Hotel, Makassar, South Sulawesi. The main objective was to strengthen the capacity of Bapenda officials in understanding the potential of the Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), mastering regional tax calculation techniques, and mapping local revenue (PAD) opportunities to optimize regional income. Participants consisted of leaders, division heads, and staff members of Bapenda as officially registered. Training materials included PDRD optimization, GRDP calculation methods, regional potential mapping, as well as the administration and management of technical guidance. The training applied a combination of interactive lectures, case studies, group discussions, and the development of a Follow-Up Action Plan (RTL). The results revealed significant improvement in participants’ comprehension of PDRD concepts, analytical skills in identifying tax potential, and the ability to design strategic plans for PAD optimization. This program is expected to serve as a starting point for strengthening regional revenue governance that is more effective, transparent, and data-driven.

Abstract

Clean water scarcity remains a persistent risk in rural Indonesia, particularly in dryland regions such as Sumbawa Regency. This study examines the role of clean water management education in strengthening community capacity to mitigate local water crises. The research focuses on community-based educational interventions that integrate local knowledge, participatory learning, and practical management skills. The study applies a qualitative case study design with field observations, structured interviews, and document analysis involving village water user groups, local facilitators, and households. The analysis shows that education improves awareness, collective responsibility, and operational practices in rural water systems. Communities that receive structured education demonstrate better maintenance routines, stronger participation in decision making, and higher compliance with water use rules. Educational approaches rooted in local context support long term system functionality and reduce vulnerability to seasonal water stress. The findings confirm that education functions as a critical non-technical factor in rural water resilience. This study contributes empirical evidence to community managed water supply literature and supports policy alignment with Sustainable Development Goal 6 at the local level. The results offer practical guidance for rural water programs in water scarce regions.

Abstract

This community service program aimed to optimize salt farmer groups to strengthen local resource based economic empowerment in the southern coastal area of West Nusa Tenggara. The program focused on improving institutional capacity, production practices, and product diversification among small scale salt farmers. The intervention was implemented through participatory training, technical assistance, and group based mentoring. Data were collected using observation, structured interviews, and documentation of production and income records before and after the program. The results showed measurable improvements in group management, production efficiency, and product value. Salt production quality increased through better handling and processing practices. Farmers began producing diversified salt products with higher market value. Group based management improved access to local markets and strengthened collective bargaining power. Economic outcomes showed an increase in average household income and more stable production cycles. These findings indicate that optimizing farmer groups through locally appropriate approaches can enhance economic resilience in coastal communities. The program provides a replicable model for community based economic empowerment that relies on local resources and collective action.

Abstract

Adolescent mental health problems show an increasing trend in urban areas, including Mataram City. Limited mental health literacy and weak community involvement reduce the effectiveness of early prevention efforts. This article aims to examine the implementation of a community-based mental health education model for adolescents within a community service program. The program applied a participatory approach through group education, psychoeducation, and strengthening adolescent peer facilitators. Activities were conducted in selected urban communities in Mataram City involving adolescents aged 13 to 18 years, parents, and community leaders. Program evaluation used pre- and post-intervention measurements of knowledge, attitudes, and coping skills related to mental health. The results indicate a significant increase in mental health knowledge scores and more positive attitudes toward psychological help-seeking behavior. Active adolescent participation also improved after the community-based intervention. This model demonstrates practical value as a promotive and preventive strategy for adolescent mental health at the local level. The findings support the integration of community-based approaches into urban adolescent mental health programs.

Abstract

Household waste management in East Lombok shows a continuous increase in unmanaged inorganic waste. Waste banks function as community empowerment instruments, yet limited transaction recording systems, low transparency, and restricted access to information constrain their impact on community welfare. This community service program aims to optimize waste bank performance through the implementation of technology based on a web system and simple applications to support operational management, transaction recording, and monitoring of waste economic value. The implementation method includes baseline assessment, digital system training, operational assistance, and performance evaluation using economic and participation indicators. The results indicate improved operational efficiency, higher transaction data accuracy, and an increase in average member income. Community participation also rises due to easier information access and transparent management. Technology based waste bank optimization strengthens governance, promotes economic independence, and supports sustainable improvement of community welfare in East Lombok.
