Abstract

The current of digital globalization has a significant impact on societal patterns, including the existence of local cultures that are increasingly marginalized by global culture. This community service project aims to preserve local culture through the adaptive and sustainable use of digital technology. The activities were conducted within a local community using a participatory approach, involving traditional leaders, youth, and cultural practitioners. Methods used included socialization on the importance of cultural preservation, digital literacy training, and mentoring in the creation of local cultural content for social media and digital platforms. The results indicate an increase in public awareness regarding local cultural values and an improvement in participants' ability to document and promote regional culture through digital media. Furthermore, the younger generation demonstrated high enthusiasm for packaging local culture creatively and relevantly to modern times. This program also encouraged the creation of digital spaces as a means of cultural education and promotion that is widely accessible. Thus, the utilization of digital technology is not only a challenge but also a strategic opportunity to maintain the sustainability of local culture amidst rapid globalization. This service activity is expected to serve as a model for strengthening local cultural identity that can adapt to technological developments and provide a real contribution to the preservation of the nation's cultural heritage.

Abstract

This community service initiative aims to enhance public awareness, knowledge, and skills in waste management through recycling activities as a creative solution to reduce environmental pollution. The primary challenges faced by partners include the high volume of household waste, low rates of waste sorting, and minimal reuse of potentially valuable materials. The implementation methods involve educational socialization, practical recycling training, group mentoring, and participatory evaluation. Socialization focused on the impact of pollution on health and the environment, waste management principles, and the economic potential of recycled products. Hands-on training was conducted by transforming inorganic waste, such as plastic and paper, into functional and aesthetic products. Mentoring aimed to strengthen program sustainability by establishing management teams and simple marketing networks. The results indicate an increase in participants' understanding of waste sorting, a shift toward more environmentally conscious attitudes, and improved skills in creating creative products. Furthermore, the volume of discarded waste decreased, and small-scale recycling-based business initiatives emerged. Participatory evaluation showed high levels of participant satisfaction and a commitment to continuing independent waste management practices. This activity proves that waste recycling not only contributes to reducing environmental pollution but also fosters creativity, community empowerment, and local economic value. This service program is recommended for replication with regional contextual adjustments to expand sustainable environmental and social impacts. The involvement of local stakeholders, schools, and village governments serves as a crucial supporting factor in strengthening the adoption of eco-friendly behaviors, integrating informal curricula, and replicating the activity model in other communities inclusively and continuously through participatory planning, regular monitoring, and ongoing capacity building for all residents.

Abstract

Indonesia is a country with a high level of vulnerability to natural disasters, such as earthquakes, floods, landslides, and volcanic eruptions. This condition demands high community preparedness to minimize the risk of casualties and material losses. This community service activity aims to enhance community preparedness through the implementation of structured and sustainable natural disaster anticipation strategies. The methods used include disaster socialization, mitigation training, emergency response simulations, and the development of community-based evacuation plans. The target participants are residents in disaster-prone areas who have limited access to disaster-related information and knowledge. The results of the activity indicate an improvement in community understanding regarding types of natural disasters, early warning signs, and the necessary steps to take before, during, and after a disaster occurs. Furthermore, the community has become better prepared for emergency situations, as evidenced by increased active participation in simulations and the ability to formulate independent evacuation plans. This initiative also encouraged the formation of local disaster-preparedness groups to ensure program sustainability. Thus, natural disaster anticipation strategies using educational and participatory approaches have proven effective in increasing community preparedness. It is hoped that similar programs can be widely implemented to strengthen community resilience against natural disasters.

Abstract

The Selaparang Kingdom was one of the important centers of power on Lombok Island and played a significant role in the development of Islam in the West Nusa Tenggara region. The political dynamics that occurred within this kingdom were not only related to struggles for power but also influenced the processes of the spread, acceptance, and strengthening of Islamic values in the life of the community. This community service activity aims to increase public understanding—especially among the younger generation and local community leaders—regarding the political history and the development of Islam in the Selaparang Kingdom as part of local cultural heritage and identity. The methods used in this activity include an educational-participatory approach through local history outreach, group discussions, and the utilization of historical sources such as literature, oral traditions, and cultural relics that are still found within the community. The results of the activity show an increase in public knowledge and awareness regarding the role of the Selaparang Kingdom in the Islamization process in Lombok, including the influence of political relations with other kingdoms, Islamic scholars (ulama), and trade networks that accelerated the spread of Islam. In addition, this activity also encourages the community to become more active in preserving and maintaining historical values and local wisdom related to the development of Islam in the region. Thus, strengthening local historical literacy through community service activities can become an important means of building cultural identity, reinforcing Islamic values, and fostering a sense of ownership toward the region’s historical heritage.

Abstract

Traditional games are an important part of local cultural heritage, carrying educational, social, and historical values for the community. One traditional game that is still known among coastal communities in East Lombok is the spinning top (gasing). However, technological advancements and changes in children’s play patterns have caused traditional games to be played less frequently. This community service activity aims to preserve the traditional game of gasing as a form of local cultural heritage and to increase public awareness—especially among the younger generation—of the importance of safeguarding regional culture. The implementation methods include socialization, game demonstrations, training in making and playing gasing, and organizing gasing competitions involving children, teenagers, and community leaders. The activity was carried out in Labuhan Haji Village using a participatory approach that actively involved the community at every stage. The results show an increase in knowledge and interest among the community regarding the traditional game of gasing. Children and teenagers, who previously spent more time playing digital games, have begun to show interest in learning and playing gasing as a recreational activity as well as a means of learning values such as togetherness, sportsmanship, and local wisdom. In addition, this activity strengthens the role of the community in preserving and passing down local culture to future generations. Thus, the traditional game of gasing serves not only as a form of entertainment but also as a medium for education and cultural preservation in Labuhan Haji Village. This community service initiative is expected to serve as a model for efforts to preserve traditional games in other regions.

Abstract

Illegal mining activities in the Sekotong area of West Lombok have triggered increasingly complex environmental and social problems. Mining practices carried out without proper management have led to ecosystem degradation, particularly through soil and water contamination caused by the use of hazardous chemicals such as mercury in the gold processing process. This condition has directly impacted the decline in environmental quality, disrupted public health, and increased the socio-economic vulnerability of the surrounding communities. This community service program aims to enhance public awareness and capacity in understanding the environmental and social risks caused by illegal mining activities, while also encouraging community-based mitigation efforts. The methods employed include socialization, participatory discussions, and assistance to communities and local stakeholders to identify the impacts of mining and formulate more sustainable alternative solutions. The results of the program indicate an increase in community understanding of the dangers of environmental pollution and its effects on health and the sustainability of natural resources. In addition, this activity has fostered a shared commitment to reduce environmentally harmful mining practices and to begin considering more sustainable livelihood alternatives. This program highlights the importance of collaboration between communities, local governments, and academic institutions in addressing the issue of illegal mining. Through a participatory and educational approach, this community service initiative is expected to serve as an initial step in strengthening ecological awareness and reducing the social and environmental risks associated with illegal mining activities in the Sekotong area.

Abstract

The coastal areas of Lombok Island are facing increasing threats of coastal erosion due to climate change, human activities, and the decline of protective coastal vegetation. Mangrove forests play a crucial role as natural barriers that can reduce wave energy, trap sediments, and maintain the stability of coastal ecosystems. However, the level of public awareness regarding the importance of mangrove conservation remains relatively low in several coastal areas. This community service activity aims to enhance public understanding and participation in preserving mangrove forests as a strategy for mitigating coastal erosion in Lombok’s coastal regions. The methods used include educational outreach, participatory discussions, and mangrove planting activities involving coastal communities. The program engages local community groups, village officials, and youth as partners in its implementation. The results indicate an increase in community knowledge regarding the ecological functions of mangroves and their role in protecting coastal areas. In addition, the hands-on mangrove planting activities have fostered collective awareness and strengthened community commitment to sustainably protect mangrove ecosystems. Active community participation has proven to be a key factor in the success of mangrove conservation efforts as a measure to mitigate coastal erosion. Thus, this community service activity not only provides theoretical understanding but also encourages concrete actions in preserving coastal environments. Moving forward, sustained synergy among communities, government, and related institutions is needed to ensure the continuity of mangrove conservation programs in Lombok’s coastal areas.
