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.
