The approach used was participatory, including socialization, direct practice, and continuous mentoring in production and distribution. The results showed an improvement in the residents' skills in product processing, the emergence of new entrepreneurial motivation, and collective initiatives to expand marketing networks at local and regional levels. The long-term impact of this activity is an increased awareness among the community about the importance of managing local potential innovatively, which supports collective welfare. This KKN program not only provides short-term benefits, such as increased income, but also contributes to strengthening the village's economic independence sustainably.

Pondok pesantren memiliki peran strategis dalam membentuk karakter dan meningkatkan kualitas pendidikan santri. Di tengah arus globalisasi dan perkembangan teknologi, kemampuan menulis ilmiah menjadi keterampilan penting untuk melanjutkan studi maupun memasuki dunia kerja profesional. Namun, mahasantri di Ma’had ‘Aly Kharisma Haromain masih menghadapi keterbatasan karena belum tersedianya modul terpadu yang mencakup metodologi penelitian, teknik penulisan, dan etika publikasi Islami. Kondisi ini membatasi potensi mereka dalam menghasilkan opini, artikel, maupun karya ilmiah yang berkualitas, padahal kontribusi pesantren sangat dibutuhkan untuk memperkaya khazanah keilmuan dan mendukung pembangunan masyarakat. Program pendampingan literasi dan penulisan ilmiah yang dilaksanakan melalui workshop, pelatihan komprehensif, serta monitoring dan evaluasi terbukti mampu meningkatkan keterampilan menulis, membangun budaya riset, dan mendorong kolaborasi akademik. Dengan dukungan keberlanjutan program, perbaikan sarana, dan pengembangan modul adaptif, inisiatif ini diharapkan memberikan manfaat yang lebih luas, baik bagi lembaga pesantren maupun masyarakat sekitar secara berkelanjutan.

Kantin Senam AW Siwa Bali Club (SBC) didirikan pada tahun 2018 sebagai alternatif sumber pendanaan organisasi selain dari iuran, merchandise, dan kegiatan ekstrakurikuler. Selama ini pencatatan keuangan kantin masih dilakukan secara sederhana dan belum memiliki sistem akuntansi yang jelas, sehingga penjualan, harga pokok penjualan (HPP), beban, serta laba tidak dapat diketahui secara akurat. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk membantu Kantin SBC dalam merancang dan menerapkan sistem informasi akuntansi (SIA) sederhana yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan organisasi. Metode pelaksanaan dilakukan melalui beberapa tahap, yaitu identifikasi masalah, perancangan alur sistem akuntansi, penyusunan prosedur operasional, implementasi pencatatan harian dan bulanan, serta monitoring dan evaluasi. Sistem yang dirancang meliputi proses penerimaan barang konsinyasi, pencocokan faktur, pemberian label harga jual, pencatatan penjualan harian, retur barang, perhitungan HPP, closing harian, hingga penyusunan laporan laba rugi dan arus kas bulanan. Hasil pengabdian menunjukkan bahwa Kantin SBC kini memiliki bagan alur sistem akuntansi yang jelas serta mampu menyusun laporan keuangan sederhana secara rutin. Penerapan sistem ini meningkatkan transparansi, akuntabilitas, dan efisiensi dalam pengelolaan keuangan kantin. Selain itu, laba bersih kantin dapat disetorkan ke bendahara organisasi secara teratur, sehingga mendukung keberlanjutan kegiatan senam SBC. Dengan demikian, penerapan sistem informasi akuntansi sederhana terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan kualitas pengelolaan keuangan organisasi komunitas. Ke depan, Kantin SBC disarankan untuk mengembangkan pencatatan berbasis digital agar lebih praktis dan terintegrasi.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memetakan tren dan mengidentifikasi kesenjangan penelitian terkait pajak daerah di Indonesia melalui pendekatan Systematic Literature Review (SLR). Proses identifikasi artikel dilakukan dengan mengikuti pedoman PRISMA dan menggunakan strategi pencarian SPIDER. Dari hasil seleksi, diperoleh artikel yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi untuk dianalisis lebih lanjut. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tren publikasi pajak daerah meningkat hingga tahun 2022, kemudian menurun pada 2023 dan 2024. Sebagian besar artikel terbit pada jurnal akreditasi SINTA 3–5, sementara kontribusi di jurnal bereputasi tinggi masih terbatas. Dari sisi metodologi, penelitian lebih banyak menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan data survei, sedangkan eksplorasi metode kualitatif dan campuran masih jarang ditemukan. Unit analisis penelitian umumnya berfokus pada pemerintah daerah dan wajib pajak, dengan minimnya perhatian pada aspek sosial budaya masyarakat. Kesenjangan penelitian terlihat pada keterbatasan topik, homogenitas metodologi, indikator yang belum beragam, distribusi geografis yang timpang, serta rendahnya kualitas publikasi. Penelitian ini berimplikasi pada perlunya arah baru riset pajak daerah yang lebih inovatif, inklusif, serta berbasis tata kelola dan pelayanan publik yang berkeadilan.

This study aims to analyze community perceptions of the application of legal and economic principles of food security in Rias Village, Toboali District. Food security is a crucial issue because it is directly related to survival, welfare, and regional economic stability. However, the community's understanding of food security is often limited to food availability, without considering its relationship with legislation and the dynamics of the village economy. The research method used was qualitative with a descriptive approach that included in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation of the local community. The results of the study show that the people of Rias Village have a positive perception of the importance of food security, especially from an economic perspective, such as market access, food prices, and business capital. However, understanding of legal aspects is still limited, especially regarding government and local regulations that should protect the community's right to access food. This perception confirms that the successful implementation of food security principles in Rias Village is influenced by legal policies that favor the community and economic strategies that encourage local food self-sufficiency.

Klepon is a traditional Indonesian market snack made from glutinous rice flour, shaped into small balls, and filled with sweet palm sugar, then coated with savory grated coconut. When bitten, the palm sugar inside bursts, giving a unique and delicious taste sensation. Klepon has been part of the Nusantara culinary heritage since the 1950s and was even introduced by Indonesian immigrants to the Netherlands. According to Mangkubumi, modifying the klepon recipe is an effective way to introduce and preserve this traditional food, as long as the original recipe and shape are maintained. This way, people can still enjoy klepon in its original form even though there are modern variations like klepon cake.

This study examines the stages of the mangain tradition in marriages between the Toba Batak and Karo ethnic groups in Pintu Angin Village and examines the importance of clans (marga) within the Toba Batak ethnic group. This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collection techniques including interviews, observation, and documentation. The results of this study demonstrate that the mangain tradition must be applied to marriages between the Toba Batak and Karo ethnic groups. For the Toba Batak community, clans are a vital identity, and interethnic marriages clearly hold a place within the Toba Batak traditional institution, the Dalihan Na Tolu structure. However, the mangain tradition also serves as a gateway for people outside the Toba Batak ethnic group to join the Toba Batak community. Furthermore, the Pintu Angin Village community supports this tradition as a cultural heritage that must be upheld. The mangain process is also seen as maintaining the dignity of Toba Batak customs and demonstrating mutual respect between ethnic groups.

The program was carried out over three days with the involvement of local residents, students, academics, and social organizations. The implementation results showed an increase in public awareness of the importance of protecting mangrove ecosystems and coastal cleanliness, improved access to clean water, and enhanced environmental literacy among children. This program demonstrates that interdisciplinary collaboration and active community participation play a vital role in achieving sustainable and resilient coastal development.

For individuals and legal entities, land registration serves as the sole method to protect land ownership and ensure legal certainty. The foundation of land rights is based on Law No. 5 of 1960 concerning the Basic Agrarian Principles, which recognizes several types of land rights, including Ownership Rights (Hak Milik), Building Use Rights (Hak Guna Bangunan), Cultivation Rights (Hak Guna Usaha), and Use Rights (Hak Pakai). The primary objective of this Community Service Program (Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat or Abdimas) is to educate the public and clarify misinformation circulating on social media. The educational initiative focuses on Government Regulation No. 18 of 2021, which ensures that long-standing land rights can still be registered through the “Recognition of Rights” mechanism. This discussion activity was initiated by the Faculty of Law, Universitas Pancasakti Tegal, which felt compelled to engage with the community in addressing issues related to land ownership and registration. Through this initiative, is hoped that public awareness and understanding of land law can be significantly improved.
