Abstract

Background: Flood disasters present a recurring challenge in Indonesia, particularly in low-lying regions like Sumberagung Village, Lamongan Regency, which is highly vulnerable to shallow river overflows. A critical barrier to community resilience is the lack of public understanding regarding disaster preparedness. Objective: This community service initiative aimed to enhance residents' knowledge through flood mitigation education and a targeted reforestation program. Methods: The intervention combined educational sessions on local flood risks and mitigation techniques with a collaborative tree-planting initiative. Diverse local stakeholders, including village officials and community members, actively participated in planting 65 trees at designated landslide-prone points. The efficacy of the educational component was evaluated using a quantitative pre-test and post-test design. Results: The evaluation demonstrated a significant increase in community knowledge, with average assessment scores rising from 51.87 in the pre-test to 76.87 in the post-test. Conclusion: The results indicate that structured educational activities are highly effective in raising public awareness and fostering a culture of disaster mitigation. To ensure long-term environmental conservation, future programs must establish community-led monitoring frameworks to sustain the newly planted trees.

Abstract

Background: The Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (CHLB) movement is a fundamental principle that needs to be implemented in daily life. The background to this activity was based on the importance of preventing tooth decay from an early age, which has been proven to impact child growth and development. Objective: The goal was to provide education on CHLB, particularly regarding maintaining dental health in early childhood. Method: The current community service program was implemented at RA An-Nur RT 37, Sidokepung Village, Buduran, Sidoarjo. The methods used included initial observation, material development, interactive learning media development, lesson plan development, and outreach. The outreach was attended by 37 group B students, using an interactive approach consisting of illustrated stories, group practice, and fun mini-games. Results: The results showed an increase in students’ understanding of the importance of maintaining dental health, the appropriate time to do so, and their understanding of choosing healthy foods for teeth. CHLB outreach using interactive educational methods has proven effective in increasing early childhood awareness of dental health while fostering healthy habits from an early age. Conclusion: This activity successfully demonstrated that utilizing an interactive educational approach, incorporating illustrated stories, group practice, and mini-games, is highly effective in increasing early childhood awareness regarding dental health.

Abstract

Background: Information technology-based village development is essential for enhancing public services and government transparency. However, the utilization of the Grogol Village website remained suboptimal due to the limited technical skills of village officials. Objective: To address this issue, a community service initiative was conducted to improve the competence of village officials and cadres in website management using OpenSID and WordPress. Method: The program was delivered through lectures, hands-on practice, and ongoing mentoring. Program effectiveness was evaluated using a post-test for participant comprehension and a five-point Likert scale questionnaire to assess overall satisfaction regarding materials, facilitators, facilities, and benefits. Results: The results demonstrated a significant increase in participant competence, with post-test scores ranging from 53.3% to 86.7%. The highest achievement was recorded in the OpenSID menu indicator (86.7%), whereas social media integration scored the lowest (53.3%). Overall participant satisfaction was categorized as good to very good, highlighted by a peak mean score of 4.6 out of 5 for the program's usefulness. Conclusion: further mentoring is strongly recommended particularly focusing on social media integration, website security, and digital content creation to ensure the village website is managed optimally and sustainably over the long term.
