Abstract

Community empowerment in the coastal area of the Musi River Estuary is one of the important efforts to improve the quality of life and welfare of the surrounding community. The main obstacle faced by coastal communities is limited access to clean water that meets health standards. This activity aims to identify the application of simple technology in raw water treatment to meet the needs of clean water in the coastal area of the Musi River Estuary. Through a simple raw water treatment plant (IPAB), the community is involved in every stage, from planning to denationalization, by providing training and technical assistance. The results of the application of this technology show that simple raw water treatment plants are able to improve water quality and meet clean water needs at a more efficient cost than conventional technology. In addition, community empowerment in the management of this installation also increases awareness of the importance of cleanliness and sustainability of water resources. Overall, this initiative has had a positive impact in improving access to clean water for coastal communities, as well as being a model that can be applied in other coastal areas with similar conditions.

Abstract

This community science and technology program is centered in PRA Kalipetung, Klapagading Village, Wangon District, Banyumas Regency,  and collaborates with Aisyiah cadre as partners. A significant challenge found during the liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) entrepreneurship training was the lack of knowledge and skills of partners in producing LOF from household organic waste. In addition, they also lack basic accounting skills and product marketing strategies. To overcome this, technology transfer is needed that focuses on processing organic waste into LOF in a sustainable manner and is suitable for household production, which ultimately provides economic benefits. The purpose of this community science and technology program is to equip participants with knowledge and skills in making LOF, as well as basic accounting practices and marketing of LOF products. The approach used in this program includes counseling, training, and the creation of LOF entrepreneurship demonstration plots. The evaluation results showed an increase in participants' understanding of various aspects of the training. Specifically, the improvements that occurred included the objectives of the activity (60.71%), techniques for making liquid organic fertilizer (53.57%), materials used (53.57%), packaging techniques (42.85%), benefits for plants (63.71%), calculation of production costs from agricultural waste (64.43%), calculation of profitable selling prices (64.43%), accounting processes for calculating profit and loss (57.14%), marketing techniques (53.57%), and understanding market share (46.43%). In conclusion, the evaluation results show that participants have successfully understood the training material related to LOF entrepreneurship.

Abstract

Youth of Karang Taruna in Kedoya Selatan Urban Village, Kebon Jeruk Sub-district, West Jakarta, have had several activities, but they have not been directed towards activities that stimulate their creativity. In addition to Karang Taruna's routine activities such as community service and daily activities such as school or college, they spend time accessing information in social media or playing games, which are more pleasure-based. The ease of accessing information from outside has an impact on their interest in foreign cultures (Korean, Japanese, American) which sometimes tends to be excessive. Referring to these conditions, the PkM (Community Service) team of FSRD (Faculty of Art and Design) decided to hold an activity aimed at increasing the creativity of Karang Taruna teenagers as well as providing knowledge about the rich culture of the archipelago. The PkM activity in the form of training in making jewelry based on the local wisdom of the archipelago was attended by 8 participants aged 18-20 years and applied the mentoring method with a PAR (Participatory Action Research) approach. The results of the activity are in the form of jewelry making skills and insight into the culture of the archipelago (Karo, Nias, Sumba) as a source of inspiration, implemented in the form of jewelry earrings, necklaces, rings, and brooches in the form of a spiral base. This activity is expected to be a productive activity for Karang Taruna while increasing their appreciation for the archipelago's culture.

Abstract

The Cikondang Village community, Hantara District, Kuningan Regency, still relies on the use of natural resources to improve the economy of its people. The forest area in this village produces ganyong tubers (Canna discolor) and butterfly pea flowers (Clitoria ternatea) which have not been optimally utilized. To improve the economy of the Cikondang Village community, a dissemination program was carried out in the form of training in making snack bars, food bars, and brownies made from ganyong flour and butterfly pea flowers. The implementation method includes socialization, training, technology introduction, mentoring, and monitoring and evaluation for the sustainability of activities. The data analysis method used in this community service activity is a one group pretest-posttest design which is analyzed non-parametrically using the Wilcoxon test with a significance level of 0.05 to evaluate the difference between the treatment before and after the training. The training program attended by 19 Cikondang villagers showed a significant increase in knowledge based on a pretest value of 58.23% and a posttest of 90.35%. The results of this training are expected to be implemented to present a more diverse and nutritious menu, both for family consumption and for marketing to consumers. Thus, Cikondang Village can become an economically and socially independent village.

Abstract

This community service initiative seeks to enhance the institutional capacity and professionalism of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) via a strategic methodology that includes initial assessment, interactive workshops, intense mentoring, and facilitation of business partnership execution. The activities were conducted in eight villages within Musi Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra. The employed methodologies encompassed participative analyses of BUMDes profiles, training in the formulation of work plans and business ideas, and the enhancement of branding strategies. The findings indicated that all BUMDes successfully developed strategic documents, including firm profiles, collaboration proposals, and SWOT analyses. Five BUMDes have initiated preliminary collaborations with neighboring enterprises. The primary obstacles encountered consist of insufficient human resource capability, restricted technological utilization, and scant managerial expertise. This program enhances both technical and administrative capabilities while fostering the establishment of sustainable collaborative networks between villages and the corporate sector. Additional proposals encompass training in corporate digitization, mentoring in negotiation, and the establishment of a more flexible organizational structure. This program aims to serve as a prototype for village empowerment through strategic partnerships and enhanced institutional capacity, which may be replicated in other locations.
