The trend of thrifting has exacerbated the problem of fabric waste in Indonesia. Therefore, sustainable efforts are needed, such as activating fabric waste processing activities in the community. The Gulon Asri Jebres waste bank is a place for community service activities carried out by the UNS interior design study program to develop interior products that have more value for fabric waste materials. This community service activity emphasizes the development of interior product designs made from fabric waste. Development activities are accompanied by lecturers and interior design students from the start of making sketches until later they become ready-to-sell products using a design thinking approach. The products produced include chairs, laundry baskets, curtains, cushions, and plant hangings.

In the era of globalization, the empowerment of local potential has become increasingly important, especially at the village level. The village of Semar in Pagerwojo District, Tulungagung Regency, is a major dairy-producing area, with 60% of its population engaged in dairy farming. However, the Sri Wigati Dairy Cooperative (KUD), which has traditionally been the primary buyer of milk, is facing management issues, forcing farmers to sell their milk to private collectors with limited capacity. As a result, a significant portion of the milk goes unsold, posing a potential economic loss. To address this, a previous community service initiative taught farmers how to process milk into milk crackers, although these products have remained limited to local consumption despite their added value. Therefore, the focus must shift to the regional or national market. This community service program aims to: 1) enhance the competitiveness of local products, 2) empower the community, 3) optimize the value chain, 4) increase income, 5) develop a sustainable business model, 6) foster partnerships, and 7) improve community knowledge and skills. The outcomes of this initiative align with the established goals, marking a positive first step towards improving the welfare and economy of the Semar Village community

The Covid-19 pandemic has brought a significant impact on the world of education, including in Indonesia. In response, the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture issued Guidelines for the Implementation of Learning for the Second Semester of the 2020/2021 Academic Year during the Covid-19 Pandemic on November 20, 2020. SMK Kesehatan Binatama, an accredited "A" educational institution in Sinduadi Village focusing on health sciences, has also felt the impact of this pandemic. A SWOT analysis conducted at SMK Kesehatan Binatama revealed issues related to the school's readiness to meet the health protocol standards set by the government for face-to-face learning. As a solution, the school organized assistance and socialization of health protocols. The socialization and counseling aimed to increase knowledge and awareness about Covid-19, as well as efforts to prevent and reduce the risk of its transmission. The assistance focused on maintaining the consistency of health protocol implementation within the school environment. The steps for implementing community service begin with initial observation, identification of partner problems, application for community service permits, followed by implementation of training activities consisting of health protocol counseling and SOP preparation, and ending with mentoring activities consisting of mentoring risk mapping, compliance with risk implementation and preparation of SOPs. The result of this community service activity is to make Binatama Health Vocational School a role model and pilot project for implementing face-to-face learning in Sinduadi Village. This community service activity has targets and outcomes divided into two aspects: services and products. The service aspect includes improving the school's knowledge and readiness in dealing with Covid-19 and conducting face-to-face learning.

Green Companies are a necessity for businesses to ensure sustainability in environmental management, preventing pollution and environmental damage during construction, production, or when products or services are used by customers, even up to the point of disposal. To provide satisfaction to tourists, tourist attractions must have adequate facilities to support the needs of tourists during their visit and to fulfill their expectations. Green industries and tourism play a crucial role in local economic development and environmental conservation. This study aims to provide assistance to green industries and tourism facilities in Kampung Batik Malon, focusing on sustainable development and empowerment of the local community. Assistance is provided through skills training to improve the quality of batik products and introduce environmentally friendly production techniques. In addition, the development of tourism facilities, such as homestays based on local culture and interactive batik galleries, is implemented to enhance the attractiveness of the tourist destination. Local community empowerment is carried out through participation in the decision-making process and the establishment of cooperatives to improve market access. The assistance also involves a sustainable approach to managing industrial waste and promoting environmentally friendly practices. The results of this assistance implementation show a significant increase in the quality of batik products, an increase in the number of tourist visits, and an increase in the income of the local community. Additionally, Kampung Batik Malon has successfully reduced its environmental impact through more sustainable production practices. Therefore, this activity contributes to sustainable development by demonstrating that the integration of green industries and tourism can be a successful model for strengthening the local economy while preserving the environment. Furthermore, this research provides guidance for other villages that wish to adopt a similar approach in developing the local potential of tourist attractions.

Indonesia sebagai negara berkembang juga masih dihinggapi oleh permasalahan kemiskinan. Pemerintah telah melakukan berbagai terobosan dalam pengentasasan kemiskinan, salah satunya melalui penyaluran dana desa. Dana desa (APBDesa) digunakan untuk: penyelenggaraan pemerintah desa, pelaksanaan pembangunan desa, pembinaan kemasyarakatan, pemberdayaan masyarakat desa, serta penanggulangan bencana. Hal ini sejalan dengan tujuan pembangunan desa, peningkatan kesejahteraan masyarakat serta pengentasan kemiskinan. Kemiskinan diindikasikan melalui Keluarga penerima manfaat (KPM) yang menerima Program Keluarga harapan (PKH) dan Bantuan Pangan Non Tunai (BPNT). Uji Chow dan Uji Hausman test merekomendasikan Fixed Effect Model, sedangkan Uji Lagrange Multiplier merekomendasikan Common Effect Model. Determinasi dari ketiganya menunjukkan bahwa belanja melalui APBDesa hanya relatif kecil dapat menjelaskan penurunan tingkat kemiskinan di Kota Lhokseumawe. Oleh karena itu, Pemerintah Kota Lhokseumawe harus lebih meningkatkan proses pendampingan kepada desa khususnya dalam perencanaan belanja yang berorientasi pada pengentasan kemiskinan karena masih terdapat belanja desa yang tidak bersentuhan langsung dengan program penanggulangan kemiskinan.

This research was conducted to determine the cost of production of one of the micro, small and medium enterprises or UMKM that has the opportunity to sell individually packaged tea drinks. Meanwhile, in marketing Kieran tea products, several stages need to be carried out, especially in determining the price in the market before this tea product is put on the market, so that prices can be adjusted to compete in the market and at the same time be accepted by people who want to enjoy this special tea treat. In this research, the HPP method was used to determine the price that can be released to the market. After going through calculations, the selling price for camellia tea was obtained, namely IDR 12,300/bag and IDR 308,600/box. Business owners also understand the influence of the cost of production and expected profits in their business in determining the selling price of their products, so there is a significant difference between determining the selling price of products without taking HPP into account and those taking HPP into account.

Field Study and Community Service is a community service program which is a form of implementation of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education. One area that is often focused on in KKN is agriculture. Agriculture in Indonesia still faces various problems, one of which is farmers' dependence on the use of chemicals as fertilizers and pesticides. The use of chemicals in agriculture can have long-term negative impacts such as damage to soil structure. One approach that can be applied is the use of animal waste as a natural ingredient in making organic fertilizer. Through Field Study and Community Service program, outreach and training is provided to the community regarding techniques for using animal waste as organic fertilizer. This activity was carried out using methods starting from surveys, outreach, and practice of processing goat manure waste into organic fertilizer. Socialization accompanied by direct practice can provide farmers with more knowledge to understand and apply techniques for making organic fertilizer more effectively. In addition, the use of organic fertilizer can reduce farmers' dependence on chemical fertilizers, increase soil fertility, and optimize agricultural yields.
