The development of tourism villages is an effective strategy to improve community welfare and support the realization of sustainable development at the local level. This study aims to analyze strategies for developing a tourism village through the Community Service Program (Kuliah Kerja Nyata/KKN), with a particular focus on creating a healthy, clean, and educational village in Ambarawa, Pringsewu Regency. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through field observations, in-depth interviews with village officials, community leaders, and local entrepreneurs, as well as documentation of program activities. The findings reveal that the implementation of the KKN program involved three main strategies. First, environmental hygiene and health education were carried out through socialization, mentoring, and community-based clean-up initiatives. Second, digital-based tourism promotion was developed using social media and online platforms, which increased destination visibility and enhanced tourist appeal. Third, local economic empowerment was strengthened by providing training and mentoring for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), along with the introduction of non-cash transactions using QRIS to facilitate modern and efficient payments. These efforts successfully fostered community participation, raised environmental awareness, and stimulated innovative approaches to tourism promotion. Nevertheless, several challenges were identified, such as limited program duration, low levels of digital literacy among some residents, and the absence of comprehensive regulations governing tourism management. Recommendations include establishing a formal tourism management institution (Pokdarwis), enhancing capacity through digital literacy training, and fostering sustainable collaboration among government, academia, and the community to ensure that tourism village development can progress consistently, innovatively, and sustainably.

This preliminary study was conducted as the foundation for developing an animated video-based learning media using Canva. The main objective of this research is to present the initial data collected during the early investigation phase, which will serve as the basis for creating innovative, research-based learning media in the future. The development model applied in this research is the Plomp model, and the study has currently reached the preliminary investigation stage. Data were collected using several instruments, including interviews, classroom observations, and student needs assessment questionnaires. The results of the needs assessment revealed that the learning media currently used in schools is considered less effective, leading to difficulties for students in understanding the subject matter. Furthermore, 91.33% of students agreed that the development of an animated video-based learning media using Canva would be beneficial and support the learning process. These findings indicate a strong need for engaging, interactive, and technology-integrated learning media. The selected topic for development is “Food and the Digestive System,” which is part of the curriculum for grade XI students in senior high schools (SMA/MA), as this topic is often perceived as challenging. By utilizing Canva to create animated videos, it is expected that students’ learning motivation, conceptual understanding, and classroom engagement will significantly improve. The results of this preliminary study serve as an essential foundation for the next stages of development, ensuring that the final product will provide an effective and enjoyable learning experience tailored to students’ needs.
Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a strategic role in supporting regional economic growth, job creation, and equitable distribution of community welfare. In Cilegon City, MSMEs are growing rapidly in various sectors, but still face a number of fundamental challenges. The main problems faced include limited access to capital, low utilization of digital technology in business activities, limited managerial capacity, and less than optimal regulatory support oriented towards strengthening MSMEs. These conditions cause the competitiveness of MSMEs to be relatively weak compared to the large business sector, so that their contribution to the Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) of Cilegon City is not optimal. This study aims to analyze policy strategies that can support the development of MSMEs in Cilegon City through a descriptive qualitative approach. The method used is a literature study and policy analysis by examining regulations, local government policies, and relevant previous research results. The analysis results show that there are several strategies that can be implemented, including: strengthening regulations and policies that favor MSMEs, expanding access to financing through collaboration with financial and banking institutions, developing human resource capacity through entrepreneurship and business management training, utilizing digital technology to expand market access, and building synergies between local governments, the private sector, and other supporting institutions. The implementation of these strategies is expected to increase the competitiveness of MSMEs, expand marketing networks, and encourage MSMEs to be more adaptive to technological developments and market needs. Thus, MSMEs in Cilegon City can make a more significant contribution to regional economic growth, create new jobs, and support sustainable economic development.

Sexual violence is any act of humiliating, insulting, attacking, and/or other acts against a person's body, sexual desires and/or reproductive function by force. This form of sexual violence can occur in everyday interactions among teenagers, including when they start having relationships with the opposite sex. This can be minimized in various ways, one of which is by providing motivation for teenagers to prevent acts of sexual violence. Motivation given to teenagers can be in the form of learning media, one of which is digital poster media. Digital poster media is more effective as an outreach medium because it helps stimulate the sense of sight, the visual aspect of poster images makes it easier to receive information. The aim of this research is to determine the development of digital poster media in preventing sexual violence against teenagers at Senior High School 5 Surakarta. This research method uses Research and Development (R&D), with the ADDIE model being developed in 5 stages, namely (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The results of this research obtained an assessment of digital poster media from material experts 96%, media experts 67%, small scale trials 83.3%, and field trials 83.83%, so it can be concluded that the media developed is "very feasible" to be used in preventing sexual violence against teenagers at Senior High School 5 Surakarta
Social-emotional skills are an important aspect of early childhood development that influences learning readiness and character formation. This study aims to analyze the role of role-playing activities in supporting children's social-emotional development. The method used is descriptive qualitative with a literature study approach through a review of accredited journals, early childhood education books, and articles published in the last five years. The results of the study show that role-playing can improve empathy, cooperation, emotional regulation, and communication. Children who are involved in this activity are more courageous in expressing themselves, understanding the feelings of others, and learning to control their emotions in social interactions. These findings confirm that role-playing not only serves as a means of entertainment but also as a learning strategy that supports the achievement of early childhood education learning in the Merdeka Curriculum. The implication of this research is the need for teachers to be creative in designing contextual role-playing scenarios, providing adequate playing facilities, and supporting educational policies so that role-playing activities can become the foundation for the formation of early childhood character that is empathetic, communicative, and disciplined.
Public transportation is one of the needs that must be met for every human being who carries out daily activities, so the government needs to pay attention to its development. The city of Surabaya is one of the cities with high traffic jams, which is one of the reasons for developing public transportation. Wira Wiri Suroboyo, which was inaugurated last year, brought enthusiasm from the public but also experienced a decline in passengers in the second month of its launch. The explanation explained by the Transportation Service regarding the decrease in the number of passengers is that it coincides with the fasting month which means not many people travel. However, if compared with the number of people in Surabaya City, the use of Wira Wiri Suroboyo transportation is still not fulfilled. Public interest in using public transportation is considered lacking. This research was conducted to determine the success of implementing public transportation development policies through the Wira Wiri Suroboyo program. This research uses qualitative methods with observations at the Transportation Service through interviews and taking documentation. The results of this research are that the implementation of public transportation development through Wira Wiri Suroboyo can be said to be successful, seen from the increase in the number of passengers.
This research discusses the development of a donor module on the SiKembar (Barang Entry and Exit Information System) web-based application, designed to optimize the management of donor data and donation aid during natural disasters. The module is developed to facilitate the donation submission process from the public, ultimately aiming to improve coordination between the community, government, and BPBD (Regional Disaster Management Agency) of Cianjur Regency in managing and distributing post-disaster aid. The development method used in this module is web-based, utilizing PHP programming language and the CodeIgniter framework. The CodeIgniter framework was chosen for its ease of use in building structured and flexible web applications. The donor module developed is integrated into the existing SiKembar platform, allowing for more efficient and organized donor data management. The main feature introduced in this module is the donation submission, which enables the public to directly donate and track the status of their submitted donations through the platform. The results of the research indicate that this module facilitates a more structured and responsive donation submission process. Both donors and administrators can easily access and manage information related to the aid needed and the status of received donations. This enhances transparency and efficiency in donation data management while minimizing the potential for errors in aid distribution. The donor module on the SiKembar application is expected to increase the effectiveness of managing donor data and handling aid following natural disasters. With this system, the aid distribution process will be more organized and faster, while also facilitating better coordination among the involved parties. Ultimately, this module can contribute to accelerating post-disaster recovery and ensuring that aid reaches those in need in a timely manner.
This study aims to analyze the development of the creative economy through the utilization of textile waste, particularly patchwork fabric, by leveraging digital platforms. Employing a qualitative approach with a case study method, the research involved creative entrepreneurs who transform patchwork waste into economically valuable products, such as bags, wallets, accessories, and home decorations.
