Manado City is an area that is vulnerable to floods and landslides, but until now the effectiveness of disaster management still faces serious challenges due to low community involvement in mitigation planning. This study aims to analyze the role of participatory planning in improving community-based disaster preparedness, with a focus on how the Manado City Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD: Badan Penanggulangan Bencana Daerah) involves the community in the process of formulating disaster strategies. Using a non-empirical qualitative approach through a literature study method, data were obtained from scientific journals, policy documents, and institutional reports that were analyzed thematically and contextually with reference to the framework of community participation and disaster risk management. The results of the study show that community involvement is still at a symbolic level, limited to the implementation stage, and has not touched the strategic planning process in a meaningful way. Lack of institutional capacity, low disaster literacy, and absence of formal participatory mechanisms are the main inhibiting factors. As a result, disaster programs are often not aligned with local needs and have an impact on low preparedness effectiveness. This study concludes that strengthening community participation in disaster planning is needed to build a more adaptive and iterative preparedness system. Theoretically, the study broadens the understanding of the relevance of participatory planning approaches in community-based disaster management, while practically, the findings provide recommendations for BPBDs and local governments to develop more collaborative and local needs-based policies as a step towards sustainable disaster resilience. 

This study aims to describe the application of the Jigsaw Learning method in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning at SMP 3 Sendana and to identify the advantages and obstacles encountered during the learning process. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the application of the Jigsaw Learning method can increase student activeness, strengthen group cooperation, and help understand the material more deeply and comprehensively. In this activity, students not only act as recipients of information from the teacher, but also as conveyors of material to their group mates. The process of sharing information between members encourages students to be more active in seeking out, understanding, and explaining the concepts being studied. In addition, this method also creates a collaborative and enjoyable learning atmosphere, due to the positive social interactions between students. This can increase a sense of responsibility and concern for the success of the group. However, in its implementation, several obstacles were found that require attention. Some of these include limited study time within the available lesson hours, inequality in contributions between group members which sometimes results in an uneven workload, and a lack of student readiness to understand the material independently before the group discussion process takes place. Despite the challenges, these obstacles can be minimized through effective classroom management, such as balanced group division, motivation, and intensive teacher support throughout the learning process. With the right strategy, Jigsaw Learning remains an effective and relevant method for Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning, as it encourages the achievement of learning objectives in a participatory, active, and enjoyable manner. Therefore, this method is a worthy alternative to cooperative learning that can improve the quality of religious education at the junior high school level.

This study aims to improve the ability to recognize geometry in children aged 5–6 years through the block game method at Nurul Muslimin Mosque Kindergarten. The research was conducted as Classroom Action Research (CAR) with a qualitative approach. The subjects of this study were children in group A at Nurul Muslimin Mosque Kindergarten, with research carried out collaboratively between researchers, teachers, and the principal. The procedure followed a systematic design consisting of two cycles, each divided into four stages: planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through observation, testing, and documentation to measure the development of children's ability to recognize geometric concepts. The results showed a significant increase in children's ability to recognize geometry through the block game method. In the pre-cycle, only 23.33% of children demonstrated the expected level of ability. After the first cycle, this figure increased to 53.33%, indicating moderate progress. By the end of the second cycle, 86.66% of the children had reached the expected competency, showing a remarkable improvement. These findings highlight the effectiveness of the block game method in fostering cognitive development, particularly in the area of early geometry recognition among preschool-aged children. The conclusion of this study emphasizes that implementing block games as a teaching strategy not only enhances children's recognition of geometric shapes but also supports active learning, creativity, and collaboration. Therefore, educators are encouraged to integrate play-based learning methods such as block games into early childhood education programs to improve fundamental mathematical concepts and prepare children for higher learning stages.

Manado City is highly vulnerable to hydrometeorological disasters due to its geographical conditions, rapid and uncontrolled urbanization, and the intensifying impacts of climate change.

Tidaran 1 Hamlet, Candiretno Village, Magelang Regency, is a rural area with quite heavy traffic in several areas. One location of particular concern is the bends and T-junctions in RT 11, which are frequently used by both two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles. This area is known to be an accident-prone area due to blind spots that obstruct the view of drivers from both directions. Unfortunately, to date, there are no safety facilities such as traffic signs or convex mirrors to aid visibility. Seeing this problem, students participating in the Community Service Program (KKN) from Tidar University conducted an intervention based on community needs. One effort was the installation of convex mirrors to minimize the risk of accidents. This activity was carried out using an action research method (action research), which included field observation, risk analysis, solution design, implementation, and impact evaluation. Throughout the process, students actively involved the community, the RT head, and village officials to ensure the proposed solution was participatory and sustainable. Convex mirrors with a diameter of 80 cm and a 2.5-meter-high support pole were installed at strategic points on the bends. Following the installation, follow-up observations and interviews with local residents were conducted. The results showed a significant improvement in visibility for drivers, especially at night and in similar weather. Residents reported feeling safer, less hesitant when crossing, and more alert to oncoming traffic. This program not only improved safety but also raised public awareness of the importance of traffic management. Therefore, similar interventions can be replicated in other vulnerable areas, with collaborative support from the community, universities, and village government.
