Village entrepreneurship is an initiative designed to stimulate regional economic growth by accelerating the development of rural areas, which have long been perceived as slow, less productive, and lagging behind urban centers. The creation of entrepreneurial villages offers a concrete strategy to enhance community productivity because it encourages all components of the village government, residents, and local institutions to participate in structured and collaborative entrepreneurial activities. Such villages are expected to generate new economic opportunities, strengthen local industries, and increase community independence. However, initial observations from this Community Service program show that partner villages still face significant barriers, including limited land area, geographical remoteness, and inadequate human and natural resources. Many peripheral villages have not yet utilized digital technology effectively, making it difficult to expand markets or access broader economic networks. In addition, challenges related to financial access, limited talent development, socio-cultural constraints, and weak market infrastructure continue to hinder economic progress. These conditions demonstrate the urgent need for strategic assistance, capacity-building programs, and stronger support systems to help villages transform into sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystems capable of contributing to long-term regional development.

Introduction: Conditions in Indonesia based on data from the 2019 Nutrition Status Study of Toddlers in Indonesia (SSGBI) are still relatively high, where the prevalence of stunting is 27.67%. The GADHIES model aims to clarify and facilitate work steps in carrying out health promotion and can complement the shortcomings of each of these models. The purpose of this service is to improve the competence of village midwives in health promotion by empowering the community to use local ingredients in making healthy and nutritious food as an effort to prevent stunting, as well as increase public awareness of the dangers of stunting in children. Method: The implementation of this activity goes through three stages of activities, namely planning, implementation and monitoring evaluation. During the planning, a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) began first between the PKM team, the Puskesmas and village midwives. The implementation of the gadhies model health promotion model training for stunting prevention was carried out for 2 days which was attended by 15 village midwives, with 3 resource persons, lecture methods and interactive discussions using power point media, gadhies model posters, gadhies health promotion pocket books, and also the Gadhies Model Training Module. After carrying out this training activity, the team conducted monitoring and evaluation to see the improvement of midwives' competence on the gadhies model health promotion method. Results: There was a significant increase in midwife's competence in health promotion from 2 (13.3%) during the pretest to 14 (93.3%) during the posttest. There was a significant increase in maternal satisfaction with health promotion services by midwives from 4 (26.7%) to 15 (100%) after midwives received health promotion training on the Gadhies model.

Background: Stunting remains one of the leading public health problems in Indonesia, including in Blang Teue Village, Lhokseumawe City, where the prevalence reaches 27.6%. Purpose: This community service program aimed to develop an innovative community-based production model for locally sourced complementary feeding (MP-ASI) through the empowerment of PKK women’s groups and Posyandu cadres. The program focused on improving nutritional knowledge, production skills, and digital capabilities related to child growth monitoring. Methods: The Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach was employed through several stages, including identification of local food resources, training on the production of nutrient-dense complementary foods made from mackerel and moringa leaves, and digital education for promotion and child growth recording using Google Sheets. Results: The program demonstrated significant improvements, including an increase in knowledge related to stunting prevention (participants in the “good” category rose from 5% to 72.5%), enhanced production skills for NABUNG complementary food (85%), and improved digital literacy among Posyandu cadres in creating educational media and recording child growth data. Conclusion: This program successfully developed an innovative community-based MP-ASI production model that not only supports stunting prevention but also strengthens digital literacy and fosters community independence in managing child nutrition

The phenomenon of children not attending school in Situhiang Village is still a serious problem that has an impact on the social, emotional, and sustainable development of children's education. This service program aims to design and implement mentoring based on the Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) approach by involving parents, teachers, and the community as the main subjects in overcoming the causes of children not attending school. The ABCD method is used through the stages of asset mapping, expectation formulation, strategy design, action plan determination, and implementation of continuous mentoring. The results of the activity showed that the main causes of school absenteeism were related to children's negative experiences, family economic conditions, and social environmental pressures. Mentoring has succeeded in increasing parental awareness, strengthening community support, and creating a safer, more comfortable, and child-friendly learning environment. This program also fosters the collective commitment of residents to maintain the sustainability of education through the formation of education care groups. These findings confirm that community empowerment through an asset-based approach is effective in reducing children's risk of school dropouts, increasing primary education participation, and encouraging children's social inclusion in the community.

Introduction: Stunting remains a major public health problem in Indonesia, including in Blang Teue Village, North Aceh, where the prevalence of children at risk of stunting reaches 28% (Public Health Center, 2023). The main contributing factors are mothers’ limited knowledge of locally sourced complementary feeding (MP-ASI) and restricted access to nutrition education media. This community service program aimed to empower the community by developing QR Code-based interactive educational posters as an accessible and user-friendly nutrition learning tool. Methods : The method employed was Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) with a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, involving 30 respondents (mothers of toddlers), health cadres, village officials, lecturers, and students. Results : The results indicated a significant improvement in mothers’ knowledge regarding local MP-ASI, where the percentage of respondents with high knowledge increased from 20% to 67% after the intervention. Utilization of QR Code media was also high, with 60% of respondents accessing it intensively, and a positive relationship was found between the intensity of media utilization and knowledge level (83% of high-intensity users achieved high knowledge). Conclusion : This program not only enhanced community knowledge and skills but also fostered the emergence of local leaders from health cadres and PKK members, as well as promoted social transformation through strengthened digital literacy and the use of local food in stunting prevention.

This study aims to determine the role of the Tourism Office in promoting Letvuan Paradise Tourism Village and what obstacles are faced by the Tourism Office of Southeast Maluku Regency in carrying out promotions in Letvuan Paradise Tourism Village, Southeast Maluku Regency. This research method uses a qualitative descriptive method. Data collection techniques used observation, interviews, and literature studies. The results of the study indicate that the Southeast Maluku Regency Tourism Office plays a significant role in promoting the Letvuan Paradise Tourism Village through facilitation, mentoring, and collaboration with various parties. Promotion is carried out through official social media, annual events, and efforts to include Letvuan Paradise in the National Event Calendar (CEN). Promotion in the tourism sector is a means of communication to introduce a tourist destination and build a positive image, thereby increasing the number of visitors and providing economic benefits to the surrounding community. In addition to Hawang Cave, promotion also highlights local potential such as arabusta coffee, Japanese bunkers, and community culture. The Tourism Office also supports Pokdarwis and MSMEs through training and involvement in various activities. This encourages community and village government participation in tourism promotion. Obstacles faced include limited infrastructure, budget, and the use of digital technology. Overall, the Tourism Office plays a significant role in building the image of Letvuan Paradise, but sustainable development still requires infrastructure improvements, consistent promotion, and community independence.

The management of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in the banking sector holds strategic importance in strengthening public trust, supporting sustainable development, and ensuring that the distribution of CSR funds aligns with principles of good governance. However, CSR implementation among Indonesian banks continues to face fundamental issues, including limited transparency, inconsistent reporting standards, and weak supervisory mechanisms. This study aims to analyze the synergy between the Financial Services Authority (OJK) and the banking industry in establishing transparent and accountable CSR fund management. Using a normative legal approach combined with institutional analysis, the findings reveal that although OJK has issued sustainable finance regulations such as POJK No. 51/POJK.03/2017, these regulations have not fully ensured the integrity and accountability of CSR distribution. Strengthening reporting standards, ensuring independent audits, and integrating a digital CSR reporting system are essential to enhance oversight. This study proposes a regulatory–institutional synergy model between OJK and the banking sector to build CSR governance that is transparent, participatory, and impact-oriented.  

The banking sector is a strategic pillar that supports national economic stability and relies heavily on public trust. To maintain this legitimacy, banks are required to implement Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), which is not only a moral obligation but also a legal duty as regulated in several laws such as Law No. 40 of 2007 on Limited Liability Companies and Law No. 21 of 2011 on the Financial Services Authority (OJK). This study aims to analyze the responsibility of OJK in managing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds based on the principles of Good Governance and to examine the role of banking institutions in maintaining public trust through transparent and accountable Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices. This research employs a normative juridical approach by reviewing relevant legislation, literature, and regulatory documents. The results show that OJK holds normative, institutional, and legal responsibilities in supervising Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) implementation to ensure compliance with the principles of transparency, accountability, independence, responsibility, and fairness. Meanwhile, banking institutions play a crucial role in ensuring that Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) becomes an integral part of their sustainability strategy rather than a mere administrative formality. The application of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) has a positive impact on increasing public trust, as transparency and accountability in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) management strengthen the social legitimacy of banking institutions. Therefore, synergy between OJK and the banking sector in enhancing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) governance is the key to achieving an ethical and sustainable financial system.

Karangtalun Village, located in Kalidawir District, Tulungagung Regency, East Java, has significant potential for developing Family Medicinal Plants (TOGA) to support community-based health practices. However, the utilization of TOGA in daily health care remains limited due to a lack of knowledge and practical skills among residents. At the same time, the community faces a growing social challenge—digital exposure among young children, which negatively affects their physical, psychological, and social well-being. To address these issues, a capacity-building program was implemented for women involved in the Integrated Guidance Post (Posbindu) through training on TOGA cultivation and digital literacy education using the Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) approach. This participatory model actively engaged community members in the planning, implementation, and evaluation stages. The program results showed an increase in participants’ understanding of TOGA as an alternative for self-care and traditional medicine, greater awareness of the adverse effects of excessive gadget use among children, and positive behavioral changes in parenting, such as setting screen-time limits and replacing gadget use with creative family activities. These findings demonstrate that integrating local wisdom–based education with digital literacy can effectively strengthen family resilience and promote sustainable well-being in the digital era.

Some screens also displayed incomplete content and unclear action mapping, which disrupted task flow. The study concludes that improving visual hierarchy, standardizing interface components, refining navigation paths, and providing clearer feedback can strengthen usability and support the application’s role as an accessible digital public service.

The utilization of home yard as an alternative food source by using innovation has not been well applied in Melandar Meiland village. Household food security is usually not managed planned. To achieve sustainable use of the yard, this devotion aims to implement the Deep Flow Technique (DFT) hydroponic system. Moreover, the method used in this activity is participation through the observation of initial conditions, socialization and education through extension and discussion, the application of hydroponic installation, and planting maintenance of plants. The results of the activity show that people better understand the benefits of yard and the ability to run the DFT hydroponic system independently. Thus, the application of this system encourages changes in the views and habits of society about the yard as a productive place to support household food security. 

This research originated from a concern about the existence of villages that are factually underdeveloped, but aren't recognized as 3T (Terdepan, Tertinggal, dan Terdepan) regions in the national regulatory framework. This research was conducted in Kabupaten Banyumas, which consists of 301 villages, with several villages indicated to be underdeveloped. Through the analysis of secondary data from BPS, Dinsospermades, and Bappedalitbang Banyumas, this study took 6 sample villages to analyze in order to understand the pattern of underdevelopment that is not covered by the formal 3T status. The purpose of this study is to highlight the reality of de facto remote areas that aren’t administratively recognized as 3T areas, and therefore don't have access to special funding schemes, and to examine the potential for replication of 3T area policies that can be adapted in Kabupaten Banyumas, with adjustments to local characteristics. Using a qualitative approach based on in-depth interviews with village government officials, this research mapped the needs, barriers, and opportunities for more contextualized policy interventions. This research recommends the development of a planning and budgeting model based on local needs and a social justice approach in the distribution of development resources. Thus, Banyumas can become an alternative policy laboratory to address development inequality outside the formal framework of the 3T regions.  

This Community Service (PKM) activity aims to improve artificial intelligence (AI) literacy in students majoring in Visual Communication Design (DKV) at SMK Muhammadiyah 2 Palembang through Canva-based training. The development of AI technology has brought about a significant change in the world of graphic design, where features such as Magic Design, Text-to-Image, and Background Remover are now widely used to support the creative process.

Through a Project-Based Learning (PjBL) and Active Learning approach with a demo–practice–reflection model, this activity is designed so that students are not only able to use the AI features in Canva, but also understand the work concepts, benefits, and ethics of using them. The activity was conducted over two days, involving 30 DKV class XI students. The evaluation of the results showed a significant increase in the aspects of understanding AI concepts (48%), motivation to learn design (35%), and creativity of works (32%). Students also show an increase in learning independence and digital ethical awareness. These results confirm that AI-based learning through Canva is effective in building AI literacy, creativity, and student readiness to face the technology-based creative industry. This activity is recommended to be expanded to teachers and other departments to strengthen digital literacy in the vocational education environment.  

This research examines the mentoring of nationalistic activities by students from the Al-Azhar Menganti Gresik Institute and field supervisors at MI Darunnajah Lebani Suko, Wringinanom District, Gresik Regency, in commemoration of Heroes' Day. Thru a descriptive qualitative approach, this program involves four main activities: the red and white parade, patriotic love songs, little warrior strokes (coloring and writing hero stories), and a colossal drama of patriotic fervor. These activities are creatively designed and based on direct experience to instill nationalistic values in elementary school students. The research results show a significant improvement in students in terms of courage, discipline, creativity, cooperation, and respect for national symbols such as the flag and national anthem. Collaboration between students as facilitators, teachers as pedagogical directors, and the school environment creates a conducive learning ecosystem where participatory methods are more effective than conventional approaches. This experiential learning approach not only enhances cognitive understanding of the struggles of national and local heroes but also builds emotional empathy and social skills. Positive impacts include high student enthusiasm, reduced learning boredom, and character strengthening in accordance with the Pancasila Student Profile, such as mutual cooperation and integrity. Overall, this mentoring program serves as a relevant model for non-formal character education that can be replicated in other schools to strengthen nationalism from an early age amidst the challenges of post-pandemic globalization and individualism.

This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the income levels of pineapple farmers in Siabal-Abal V Village, Sipahutar Subdistrict, North Tapanuli Regency. The research focuses on several key variables, namely land size, production quantity, production tools, and farming experience, which are presumed to be associated with farmers’ income. A quantitative research approach was employed, using multiple linear regression analysis to examine the simultaneous and partial effects of each variable on the income of pineapple farmers. The population of this study comprised all pineapple farmers in Siabal-Abal V Village, with a sample of 65 respondents selected through a simple random sampling technique. Data were collected through interviews and structured questionnaires designed in accordance with the research objectives. The results of the data analysis indicate that, simultaneously, land size, production quantity, production tools, and farming experience have a significant effect on the income of pineapple farmers. However, the partial test results reveal that only land size has a positive and significant effect on farmers’ income. Meanwhile, production quantity, production tools, and farming experience do not show a statistically significant influence. These findings indicate that land size is the dominant factor in determining the income level of pineapple farmers in the study area. Therefore, improving access to agricultural land or optimizing the utilization of existing land is an important strategy for increasing the income of pineapple farmers in Siabal-Abal V Village.
