Abstract

Jerowaru District, located in East Lombok Regency, possesses extraordinary marine potential, particularly in the development of superior commodities such as seaweed, nicknamed "green gold," and lobster, known as "blue gold." Despite this abundant natural potential, coastal communities in this area generally face classic obstacles, including a low understanding of modern cultivation technology capacity, a lack of post-harvest processed product diversification, and a high dependence on middleman market chain systems. This community service activity aims to improve the economic welfare of coastal residents in Jerowaru through strategies to optimize the sustainable management of seaweed and lobster cultivation. The implementation method used in this service program is based on Participatory Action Research (PAR), which encompasses three main stages: training in modern environmentally friendly cultivation techniques, assistance in diversifying processed seaweed products into high economic value commodities, and education on group financial management alongside the expansion of digital-based market access. The results of this community service activity show a significant increase in the technical skills of cultivators, a 45% increase in the economic added value of products through processing innovation, and the formation of a much more independent joint business group institution. Through this integrated capacity-building program, fishermen's dependence on middlemen can be gradually reduced due to the opening of direct market access networks to consumers and industries. In conclusion, the synergistic utilization of the potential of "green gold" and "blue gold" managed in a modern way can serve as the main pillar in boosting the domestic income of fishermen's families, creating new job opportunities, and achieving economic independence for the Jerowaru coastal community.

Abstract

The rapid development of tourism in the Kuta Tourism Area, Central Lombok, has triggered a massive influx of foreign investment, resulting in the commercialization and marginalization of local community-owned land. This community service activity aims to provide legal education, legality assistance, and capacity building for local communities to defend their land ownership and control rights amidst the surge of foreign investment. The implementation method utilized a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, encompassing land law socialization, participatory mapping workshops, land legality advocacy, and the establishment of a community-based advocacy forum. The results demonstrated an 85% increase in community understanding regarding the importance of land registration, the risks of nominee leasing schemes, and legal protection mechanisms for both customary land and individual certificates. Furthermore, this program successfully facilitated preliminary data collection on land disputes and initiated a draft village regulation regarding the protection of residential areas and local business enterprises. Through these activities, the people of Kuta have not only gained higher legal awareness but are also empowered to position themselves equally as strategic partners in sustainable tourism governance, rather than remaining mere onlookers on their own land. In conclusion, community-based legal assistance and agrarian literacy serve as crucial instruments in maintaining a balance between foreign investment flows and the protection of the economic and social rights of local communities in priority tourism areas.

Abstract

The Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) Program focuses not only on improving public health quality, but also holds strategic potential in driving the local economy at the village level. This community service activity aims to analyze the economic impact of mentoring and involving village Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) as the primary supply chain for the MBG program. The implementation method was carried out through three intervention stages: mapping the potential of local food MSMEs, conducting training to improve food safety and quality standards, and providing mentoring on access to sustainable raw material supply partnerships. Program evaluation was conducted using qualitative and quantitative approaches targeting 25 local MSME actors involved throughout the program period. The results show that structured mentoring successfully increased business actors' understanding of hygiene standards and business capital financial management by 40%. From an economic perspective, the involvement of local MSMEs in the MBG program supply chain drove an average monthly income increase of 25–35% for business actors. In addition, local agricultural raw materials were utilized more optimally, creating a multiplier effect for the village economic ecosystem. In conclusion, integrating village MSMEs into the MBG program effectively strengthens the economic resilience of local business actors, improves food product quality, and fosters village potential-based economic independence.

Abstract

Gendang Beleq is a traditional musical art form of the Sasak people in Lombok that holds high historical, social, and cultural value. However, the tide of modernization and the rapid development of information technology have the potential to shift the younger generation's interest away from this traditional art form. This community service activity aims to facilitate the regeneration of Gendang Beleq artists through an educational and collaborative approach, balancing traditional preservation efforts with adaptation to cultural changes in the modern era. The implementation method was carried out through three main stages: socialization and interest mapping, routine training in the Gendang Beleq drumming art for local youth, and the formation of a cultural discussion forum. The results of this community service activity show a significant increase in youth participation in mastering both basic techniques and rhythmic variations of Gendang Beleq. Furthermore, a youth arts group was formed that is capable of combining traditional musical elements with modern performance needs without losing its cultural essence. Participants' understanding of the philosophical values of Gendang Beleq also increased. The performing art of Gendang Beleq is an intangible cultural heritage of the Sasak people in Lombok, rich in historical value and local identity. However, the tide of modernization and the rapid development of information technology trigger dynamics of cultural change that affect youth involvement in preserving this tradition. This community service aims to educate, revitalize, and increase the active participation of the younger generation in Gendang Beleq art without ignoring modern cultural realities. This activity was carried out in West Lombok Regency, involving youth organization (Karang Taruna) members and students. The implementation methods used consisted of three main stages: interactive socialization regarding the historical value of Gendang Beleq, hands-on basic training in drumming and dance arts, and mentoring in the use of digital media for cultural promotion. The results of this community service activity show an 85% increase in youth understanding and interest in Gendang Beleq art. In addition, a new young drummers' group was formed, capable of blending traditional drumming techniques with digital content strategies on social media as a contemporary means of preservation. This community service successfully bridged the gap between preserving traditional values and adapting to cultural changes in the modern era, ensuring the sustainability of the Gendang Beleq tradition in the hands of the next generation.

Abstract

Poor household waste management is one of the major determinants of the high incidence of environmentally related diseases, particularly diarrhea. This community service activity aimed to educate the community, identify the relationship between waste disposal practices and the incidence of diarrhea, and improve the health status of residents in Dasan Agung Village, Mataram City. The community service program employed a Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) approach, consisting of environmental sanitation awareness activities, household-level waste segregation training, community-based environmental clean-up activities, and an observational survey involving 80 heads of households. Data were collected through questionnaires assessing household waste management practices and the history of diarrhea episodes during the previous three months, and were subsequently analyzed using the Chi-Square correlation test. The results demonstrated a 38% increase in community knowledge regarding the impact of improper waste disposal on the proliferation of disease vectors, such as flies. Based on the survey data analysis, a significant association was found between open/improper waste disposal practices and an increased frequency of diarrhea among residents (p-value < 0.05). Residents who managed waste properly and kept waste containers tightly covered experienced a significant reduction in diarrhea cases. This activity successfully encouraged the establishment of a community-based self-managed waste bank and the provision of segregated waste bins in residential areas of Dasan Agung. In conclusion, educational interventions and assistance in waste management were effective in promoting behavioral changes among community members and reducing the risk of diarrhea transmission. It is recommended that the sanitation monitoring program be sustained through regular supervision by local health cadres.
