Community Service Program (KKN) is an implementation of the Tridharma of Higher Education aimed at dedicating knowledge and technology to society. This article analyzes the implementation of the KKN program by students of Universitas Trunodjoyo Madura Group 30 in Buddagan Village, Pademawu District, Pamekasan Regency, focusing on community empowerment through aspects of environment, education, entrepreneurship, and village digitalization. The activities were carried out using a participatory approach with observation techniques, interviews, and discussions with the community and village stakeholders. The flagship programs include the socialization of used cooking oil for making aromatherapy candles, installation of environmental education plaques, anti-bullying socialization at SDN Buddagan 2, and the creation of the official social media for Buddagan Village. The results show an increase in community awareness, especially among PKK mothers, regarding the health and environmental dangers of used cooking oil and the potential for a creative economy based on domestic waste. The anti-bullying program successfully instilled empathy and mutual respect values in students, while the village digitalization strengthened public access to information and a positive village image. The KKN program in Buddagan Village has had a positive impact on social behavior changes in the community and serves as a model for sustainable community service.

Syiir is a series of beautiful and refined words composed through linguistic strength and rich imaginative expression. In the context of Islamic da’wah, syiir has long been used as one of the media or approaches by preachers (da’i) to convey religious messages to the community in a persuasive manner that touches emotional aspects. Explicitly, syiir has the ability to stimulate feelings, develop inner awareness, and instill moral and spiritual values, as reflected in various narratives and practices of earlier religious figures. This study, using an integrative–interconnective approach, aims to examine Madurese syiir composed by KH. Musfik Al-Karawi and broadcast through the amateur radio medium YG3AMP, with a focus on the level of community understanding and the resulting social impacts. The research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon. The findings indicate that the Madurese syiir by KH. Musfik Al-Karawi provides a good level of understanding for the community and generates various positive social impacts. One of the most significant impacts is the transformation of community behavior, reflected in changes from unfavorable attitudes to better ones, and from good behavior to even better conduct in daily life.

The biggest challenge faced by the community, especially vulnerable and poor groups, is the cost of managing chronic diseases. Even though there is national health insurance, non-medical costs, costs arising from self-medication, and limitations on certain benefits are still often obstacles that cause high out-of-pocket expenses for the community. The high costs of curative and rehabilitative care indicate that preventive and promotive efforts must be significantly improved, and one way to support the sustainability of these efforts is through a pre-emptive health financing scheme. Community service activities are carried out using a participatory approach so that community members are actively involved in the activities. The activities are carried out in three stages, that is preparation or needs identification, implementation and evaluation. The results of the activity show that the community's knowledge increased significantly because of the community service activity. Participants who took part in the activity also successfully designed a community-based financing scheme involving health savings, whereby each member makes agreed monthly contributions. This community service project demonstrates that community empowerment through the establishment of a pre-emptive financing scheme for chronic diseases can provide an effective, sustainable solution for improving public health.

Drug storage is not only carried out in health facilities but can also be done independently by the community that consumes drugs, either as an emergency supply or leftover medication from previous use. Drug storage is often done without paying attention to the condition after the packaging is opened or understanding the drug's usage limit/Beyond Use Date (BUD). The community generally only looks at the expiration date/Expired Date (ED) on the drug packaging as a reference for safe drug use, and does not understand the safe usage limit for drugs after the primary packaging is opened. The purpose of this community service is to evaluate the community's knowledge and practices regarding the implementation of BUD/ED, as well as to provide education. This community service was carried out with an educational approach involving 21 people in Rejosari Village. This activity was carried out by distributing questionnaires to the community about the knowledge and practice of BUD/ED daily, then continued with the delivery of education using posters. The results of this activity indicate that the community has good knowledge of ED and BUD, but has not yet implemented ED and BUD in the storage and use of drugs independently.

The majority of Kebomas District's residents are connected to working hours during government office hours (Monday through Friday), which creates access obstacles in administering public services due to the high population density and busy community life. In response to these time constraints, the SOS MAS (Service On Saturday in Kebomas District) invention was introduced, which offers services on Saturdays. However, the implementation of this innovation still faces challenges in the form of a low social integration rate and a restricted range of public services that have the potential to sway public opinion. The goal of this research is to assess how the SOS MAS innovation affects community happiness in Kebomas District. A quantitative technique with an associative approach is used in this research. Through an unintentional sampling method, questionnaires were given to 86 individuals in order to gather primary data. With the aid of SPSS, the determinant coefficient and a simple linear regression test were used to analyze the data. The study's findings reveal that the SOS MAS invention has a favorable and substantial influence on community happiness. The regression coefficient of 0.969 and a significance level of 0.000 <0.05 support this. The innovation variable accounted for 59.7% of public happiness, while the remaining 40.3% was impacted by variables not included in the study model, according to the coefficient of determination (R2) test. This result supports the notion that the efficacy of service innovation outside of working hours is a major element in boosting happiness for individuals with limited time. The SOS MAS innovation has been shown to greatly improve public satisfaction. Agencies are encouraged to improve their communication and outreach efforts as well as create SOS MAS innovations that maximize the advantages of innovations that meet community needs.

This service examines the use of the social media platform of the tiktok application which acts as an effort to approach digital promotion for micro, small and medium enterprises in Krobokan village, Juwangi. Although MSMEs allocate an important role in sales products to the community, they do not fully understand digital media.This service applies a qualitative method by conducting interviews and socialization to the community which amounts to around 30 people consisting of 10 MSME business actors. The results of the interview identified MSME actors in Krobokan village who are not fully aware of the importance of understanding the development of social media as a marketing media tool, therefore we provide education about sales through online media because they only market products traditionally in the village environment. TikTok as a strategic means in supporting sales in today's digital era because the TikTok application is one of the highest platforms that are widely used today such as the TikTok Shop and Live TikTok features in strengthening the introduction of sales to customers through social media. This service concludes that from traditional marketing by word of mouth to marketing in the digital era that focuses on creative digital marketing, efforts have great potential in developing the community's economy in the current digital era.

Limited legal literacy among village officials may contribute to disorderly village administration, inconsistent document formats, weak record-keeping, and poor archive traceability, ultimately affecting public service quality. This Community Service Program (Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat/PKM) aimed to strengthen the legal literacy of village officials in Larangan Luar Village, Pamekasan Regency, to improve orderly and accountable village administrative governance. The program applied a hands-on training model combined with mentoring/document clinics and a pretest–posttest evaluation involving village officials (n = 18). Implementation consisted of three core training sessions and two mentoring sessions over four weeks, focusing on document legality, official correspondence standards, numbering and registers, and basic archive management. Results showed an increase in the average legal literacy score from 54.1 (pretest) to 74.6 (posttest), an improvement of 20.5 points. Beyond knowledge gains, document quality and administrative order improved through the adoption of practical administrative tools developed during the program. Key outputs included a concise module (±22 pages), 10 village administrative document templates, one village administrative SOP, and a simple filing system based on document classification and folder numbering. In conclusion, strengthening village officials’ legal literacy through practice-based training and mentoring effectively supports improvements in village administrative governance and is potentially replicable in other villages in Pamekasan with context-specific adjustments.

This student aims to determine how BPNT contributes community in Sipatana District, Gorontalo City. Method used is qualitative findings show that the implementation of BPNT in Sipatana District, particularly in Molosipat U and Tanggikiki sub-districts, has been carried out in accordance with the statutory regulations of 2019 regarding the indicators of power distribution and actor strategies, without any personal intervention in determining beneficiary eligibility. Regarding the characteristics of the implementing institutions, coordination among agencies from the district level to RT/RW has run well and has been conducted transparently and participatively to ensure that the assistance is well-targeted. However, on the indicators of implementer compliance and responsiveness, several obstacles are still found such as delays in disbursement, a lack of direct socialization to the community, and slow responses from the sub-district office in handling complaints from beneficiary families (KPM). These conditions lead to a lack of optimal understanding among beneficiaries regarding the mechanism of aid distribution. Additionally, the impact of BPNT on improving beneficiary welfare remains consumptive in nature and has not fully encouraged economic independence among poor households. Therefore, improvements in service effectiveness, two-way communication, and periodic evaluation are required to enhance BPNT’s contribution in reducing poverty rates and achieving sustainable community welfare.

Multatuli Area 4 is highly susceptible to flooding due to its close location to the Deli River and inadequate environmental management, which exacerbate the risk during the rainy season. Despite this vulnerability, community preparedness remains limited, leaving residents exposed to potential damage and loss. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach, collecting data through in-depth interviews and direct observations with purposively selected informants who have knowledge of local flooding experiences. The findings reveal that while residents are generally able to recognize early signs of flooding, their responses are largely reactive rather than proactive. Several factors contribute to this low level of preparedness, including limited perception of risk, insufficient economic capacity to implement preventive measures, declining social cohesion and cooperation, and underutilization of available mitigation facilities and infrastructure. These conditions highlight the need for improved community awareness, better access to resources, and strengthened disaster management strategies to enhance flood preparedness in Multatuli Area 4.

This research examines criminal law policy in handling special narcotics crimes and their social impacts on Indonesian society. Narcotics crime constitutes an extraordinary crime that threatens public health, security, and social resilience. Therefore, the state implements criminal law policies through penal and non-penal approaches regulated in statutory provisions, particularly the Narcotics Law. This research aims to analyze the effectiveness of criminal law policies in combating narcotics crimes and to examine the social impacts arising from the implementation of such policies. The research method used is normative legal research employing statutory and conceptual approaches. The findings indicate that criminal law policies in narcotics control still face various challenges, including ineffective law enforcement, prison overcapacity, and social stigma against narcotics users. The social impacts are not only experienced by offenders but also affect families and the wider community. Consequently, criminal law policies that prioritize restorative justice, rehabilitation, and preventive measures are urgently needed to reduce negative social impacts and to ensure sustainable protection for society in Indonesia.

The public complaint system is an important facility for the police institution to improve the quality of public services, particularly in receiving, processing, and following up on various reports and complaints from the public. However, in practice, the complaint process is still largely carried out manually, such as through face-to-face interactions, paper-based forms, or direct communication that is not well documented. This gives rise to problems such as delays in handling, difficulties in tracking the history and status of reports, low work efficiency of officers, and limited transparency of information for reporters. These problems ultimately affect the level of public trust in the police institution. This study aims to design a web-based public complaint information system that supports a more structured, measurable, and transparent complaint management process. This system is designed by implementing the Kanban method as a workflow management tool that allows for prioritization, monitoring the handling process, and tracking the status of complaints in real time. The research methods include a literature review related to information systems and the Kanban method, direct observation of the existing complaint process, interviews with stakeholders, system requirements analysis, modeling using UML (Use Case Diagram, Activity Diagram, Sequence Diagram), and database design using Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD). The results of this research resulted in the design of a web-based public complaints information system that can facilitate complaint data recording, report management and status updates, task assignments to officers, performance monitoring, and complaint status notification to the public.

This study aims to determine the effect of service innovation and service quality on public satisfaction at the Alam Barajo District Office, Jambi City. This study used a quantitative method with questionnaires distributed to the public as the primary data source. The collected data were then analyzed to determine the extent to which service innovation and service quality contributed to public satisfaction. The results showed that service innovation had a positive and significant effect on public satisfaction, meaning that the better the innovation, the higher the level of public satisfaction. Furthermore, service quality was also shown to have a positive and significant effect, indicating that aspects such as accuracy, clarity of information, and officer attitudes play an important role in shaping public satisfaction perceptions. These findings confirm that increasing service innovation and improving service quality are strategic steps for the sub-district government in an effort to continuously increase public satisfaction. Thus, these two factors must be the main focus in improving public service governance in the region.

This kind of research can reveal a purpose, namely to be able to carry out an analysis of the important role of the government together with the community in realizing policies to combat corruption of village funds. It is necessary to understand that village funds have been made one of the government's priority programs in order to increase the level of prosperity of rural communities and village development through the Village Law. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify policy solutions provided by the government and the community to prevent corruption of village funds. This study utilizes a literature study method through a qualitative approach that can be used to assess the role of the government and the community in implementing policies to combat corruption of village funds as an effort to uphold the integrity of the village administration system. Meanwhile, the research data sources obtained came from secondary data, which included the collection of scientific journals in the last five years, reading books in the last ten years, reports in the mass media, and government regulations. The findings of this study describe that the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has identified several loopholes that are often exploited by village officials in misappropriating Village Funds. Then there were 98 cases of corruption that caused the state to lose up to Rp. 37.2 billion. This creates an urgency for the government and the community to play a role in creating village regulations that are capable of overcoming corruption of village funds.

This community service activity aims to empower the community to have legal awareness as a preventive strategy in preventing specific crimes, both those that occur directly or through digital media. The phenomenon of violence or vigilantism, which is increasingly widespread in society, reflects a low understanding of the law, the dominance of social emotions, and distrust of formal law enforcement mechanisms. In the digital era, this behavior has also developed into online violence, such as the spread of shame, insults, and threats through social media, which has the potential to give rise to cybercrimes as regulated in the Electronic Information and Transactions Law. This activity was carried out through the Legal Awareness Family Socialization (Kadarkum) program in Baru Ulu Village, Balikpapan City, East Kalimantan, using legal counseling methods, participatory discussions, and educational approaches based on local social and cultural values. The targets of the activity were the general public, community leaders, and families as the smallest social unit in the formation of a legal culture. The results of the activity showed an increase in public understanding regarding the legal consequences of vigilantism, both in physical and digital contexts. Furthermore, the public is beginning to show a shift in attitudes toward more rational, legal-oriented problem-solving, and increased self-control in responding to social conflict. These activities contribute to building a legal culture that is more aware, preventative, and adaptive to legal challenges in the digital era.

The digitalization of the creative economy has opened up significant opportunities for the community to create innovative products that have high sales value and are environmentally friendly. One interesting innovation is the use of used cooking oil as a raw material for making aromatherapy candles. Used cooking oil, which is usually discarded and pollutes the environment, can be reprocessed into products with economic value, thus supporting the principles of a circular economy. This study aims to examine the potential of processing used cooking oil into aromatherapy candles, analyze digital-based marketing strategies to increase product competitiveness in the market, and examine the meaning of transforming waste into innovative products from the perspective of Immanuel Kant's philosophy of reality. The research methods used were literature studies and field observations of used cooking oil processing practices by the community. The results show that used cooking oil-based aromatherapy candles have good business prospects, especially when combined with digital promotion through social media and marketplaces. Digitalization helps expand marketing reach, create brand identity, and attract consumers who care about environmental sustainability. From the perspective of Immanuel Kant's philosophy of reality, the transformation of used cooking oil into aromatherapy candles can be understood as a phenomenon, namely a reality that is visible in the practice of the digital creative economy. Meanwhile, the values ​​of sustainability, ethical awareness, and social meaning contained therein reflect noumena, namely the deepest reality that is not directly visible but provides direction and meaning for human actions.

Access to healthcare services is a crucial determinant in improving community health, particularly in rural areas that face geographic and social challenges. This study aims to describe the accessibility and utilization of healthcare services among residents of Desa Sama Subur, Kecamatan Motui, Kabupaten Konawe Utara. A descriptive quantitative design was employed, with the population comprising all active household heads in the village. A total of 45 household heads were selected using total sampling. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using structured questionnaires during the 2025 Field Learning Experience (Pengalaman Belajar Lapangan, PBL). Descriptive analysis was conducted and results were presented in frequency distributions and percentages.The findings indicate that the majority of respondents possess health insurance (88.9%); however, the utilization of healthcare facilities remains suboptimal, with only 48.9% having ever accessed services. Perceptions of healthcare accessibility varied, with 51.1% considering it easy and 46.7% reporting difficulty. Motorcycles were the most commonly used mode of transportation (77.8%), and community health centers (Puskesmas) were the most frequently utilized facilities (60.0%). Regarding service satisfaction, nursing staff behavior received the highest satisfaction rating (28.9%), while waiting time remained the main concern. In conclusion, healthcare access in rural communities is multidimensional, influenced not only by health insurance ownership but also by geographic factors, transportation availability, and service experience. Enhancing the utilization of healthcare services requires strengthening primary care and improving physical access to healthcare facilities.

This study aims to analyze local community participation in the development of ecotourism. The method used is descriptive qualitative based on document analysis, with data obtained through the review of village planning documents, tourism development reports, field observations, and informal interviews with local stakeholders. The results show that the community has begun to engage in tourism-related activities such as opening homestays, food stalls, and working as tour guides. However, this involvement is still limited by capacity, skills, and the lack of supporting facilities. Neblo Beach holds great potential to be developed as a nature- and culture-based ecotourism destination, but it currently lacks basic amenities such as toilets, trash bins, souvenir kiosks, and photo spots. Through a SWOT analysis, several strategies were identified to support the development of this area, including the participatory preparation of a master plan for amenity development, community training programs, and collaboration with academics and investors. In conclusion, the success of ecotourism development at Neblo Beach strongly depends on the synergy between the community, village government, and strategic partners in realizing sustainable tourism that provides direct benefits to the local population

Sindrom metabolik merupakan isu kesehatan yang semakin menonjol di Indonesia, dengan prevalensi mencapai 21,66% dan angka lebih tinggi pada populasi urban. Literasi gizi, sebagai kapasitas individu untuk memahami dan menerapkan informasi nutrisi, dipandang berperan penting dalam mengarahkan perilaku makan serta memengaruhi status metabolik. Namun, pada komunitas adat seperti masyarakat Badui, struktur sosial-budaya dan pola hidup tradisional dapat menciptakan dinamika yang berbeda dibandingkan populasi umum. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis hubungan antara tingkat literasi gizi dan parameter kesehatan metabolik pada masyarakat Badui Luar. Studi observasional dengan desain potong lintang ini melibatkan 41 responden dewasa. Literasi gizi diukur menggunakan kuesioner terstandar, sedangkan parameter metabolik meliputi lingkar perut, tekanan darah, kadar glukosa darah puasa, trigliserida, dan HDL yang diperiksa menggunakan metode klinis sederhana. Analisis korelasi Pearson digunakan untuk menilai hubungan antarvariabel. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa literasi gizi berada pada kategori cukup baik (123,73 ± 7,89), namun tidak berhubungan signifikan dengan seluruh parameter metabolik (r –0,218 hingga 0,241; p>0,05). Pola ini mengindikasikan bahwa faktor budaya, aktivitas fisik agraris, serta pola konsumsi tradisional kemungkinan berperan lebih dominan dalam membentuk profil metabolik masyarakat Badui dibandingkan literasi gizi formal.

Introduction: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a serious disease transmitted by the aedes aegypti mosquito. Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is an infectious disease transmitted through the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito and is still a public health problem. The high incidence of dengue fever is often caused by a lack of knowledge, attitudes, and actions of the community in carrying out appropriate prevention efforts. The goal is to identify the picture of community behavior in dengue prevention, including aspects of knowledge, attitudes, and actions. Method: was a quantitative descriptive with 100 respondents selected by random sampling in East Sidomulyo Village, Marpoyan Damai. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed univariately. Results: The variables of community behavior were obtained in the knowledge of most of the people who were low as many as 52 respondents (52%), most of the people's attitudes were obtained negative attitudes as many as 77 respondents (77%), the actions of the community mostly had less actions with the number of 59 respondents (59%), and the behavior of the community was relatively low. Conclusions and Suggestions: This study shows that the majority of the people of East Sidomulyo Village have lacking knowledge, attitudes, and actions in the prevention of dengue. Low preventive behavior is caused by a lack of knowledge and concern. Intensive, community based education is needed to raise awareness and preventive measures in an ongoing manner.

This study aims to evaluate the relationship between skinfold calliper measurements and handgrip strength with segmental fat and muscle composition among adults in Kota Bambu, providing evidence for simple and applicable community-based screening tools. A cross-sectional design was applied to 135 participants aged 18–96 years. Skinfold thickness was assessed at four anatomical sites (biceps, triceps, suprailiac, scapular), handgrip strength was measured using a digital dynamometer, and segmental body composition was obtained via bioelectrical impedance analysis. Findings demonstrated a moderate positive correlation between handgrip strength and arm skeletal muscle mass (r = 0.371–0.407; p < 0.01), indicating that handgrip performance reflects segmental muscle contractility and functional reserve. Skinfold measurements showed moderate-to-strong positive correlations with both local and central subcutaneous fat distribution (r = 0.562–0.635; p < 0.01), confirming their sensitivity in estimating segmental adipose accumulation. These results highlight that calliper and handgrip strength can serve as practical, low-cost preliminary screening indicators for mapping muscle and fat distribution in urban communities, although they are not substitutes for comprehensive body composition assessment. Further longitudinal studies integrating advanced physiological and functional parameters are recommended to enhance predictive validity and clinical applicability.
