In this study, a women's empowerment program for fisherwomen in Domas Village, Serang Regency, was used to investigate the impact of village fund management on improving the welfare of coastal communities. This research stems from an awareness of the importance of villages in realizing sustainable development that relies on local potential, especially in vulnerable and marginalized coastal areas. To improve community welfare, including that of women who have been less involved in village development processes, effective, efficient, transparent, and accountable management of village funds is crucial. The research method employed was qualitative, with data collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentary studies. The research results show that the management of village funds in Domas Village has brought many benefits, such as the establishment of BUMDes shrimp farms and catering services, which can create jobs and increase local revenue. However, women's participation in village programs is still limited to certain industries such as beauty services and seafood processing. To achieve optimal women's empowerment, key barriers include limited human resources, limited access to capital, and the lack of integration of women's SMEs into the village funding structure. The results indicate that an inclusive and locally-driven approach to village fund management can enhance community well-being more equitably and drive sustainable socio-economic transformation.

Waste management is a serious challenge in many regions, including Nagari Sulit Air, which is experiencing an increase in waste volume due to population growth and economic activity. This study aims to explore innovations in waste management that are not only focused on environmental sustainability but also capable of empowering the local economy.

The findings show that the community of Nagari Sulit Air has developed various innovative initiatives, such as waste banks, the processing of organic waste into compost, and creative recycling training for local residents, particularly women and youth. These innovations have proven effective in reducing waste volume and increasing environmental awareness among citizens. On the other hand, these activities also create new economic opportunities through the sale of recycled products and compost. This study highlights the importance of collaboration between the nagari government, the community, and third parties in establishing a sustainable and inclusive waste management system. The findings are expected to serve as a model for other regions in integrating environmental and economic aspects within community-based waste management practices.

This study underscores the importance of aligning public policy with community needs to achieve sustainable development in coastal areas.

Pasuruan City has an economic dynamic driven by the informal sector, especially street vendors (PKL), which play a crucial role in supporting the community's economy. One of the locations that is the center of street vendor activities is the Pasuruan City Square area. Despite its strategic value, the presence of street vendors in the area has caused problems related to order, cleanliness, and public space management.

This community service program aims to implement the concept of Sustainable Islamic Education through the utilization of kitchen waste into ecoenzyme-based soap at Sulaimaniyah Islamic Boarding School in Waru, Surabaya. The primary issues addressed include the lack of proper organic waste management in pesantren environments, low ecological awareness, and limited entrepreneurial skills among students (santri).

This initiative not only offers an ecological solution to waste problems but also strengthens the role of pesantren in nurturing economically empowered and environmentally conscious change agents. The program is expected to serve as a transformative education model that can be replicated in other Islamic boarding schools.

This article examines teacher empowerment and the professionalism of educators in Indonesia during the Reformasi and post-Reform era, with a comprehensive academic review approach. The Reform era marked a significant change in education governance, particularly in terms of decentralization and autonomy that provided greater space for independent and contextual teacher capacity development. This research highlights various policies implemented to improve the quality of educators, such as teacher certification programs, continuous training, and welfare improvement which are the main focus of the government. However, real challenges still arise related to quality disparities between urban and rural areas and educational infrastructure constraints that affect the effectiveness of teacher empowerment. This article also discusses how teachers' professionalism is not only measured from the technical aspects of teaching, but also from the ability to adapt to new curricula and educational technology developments. Thus, teacher empowerment in the Reformasi era and post-Reformasi is an important foundation in efforts to improve the quality of national education in a sustainable manner. These findings are expected to be a reference for policymakers and education practitioners in formulating more effective and inclusive educator development strategies.
