Data on waste generation in 2024, nationally, in the Special Region of Yogyakarta Province, and in Bantul Regency, consistently show organic waste as the largest component (more than 50%). Based on its source, the largest waste generation (53-75%) comes from households. This community service program aims to increase the participation of households in Trayeman Hamlet, Plered Village, Plered Sub-district, Bantul, in managing their own organic waste. This program is implemented through training for local PKK members. The methods presented are biopore, the covered bucket method, the stacked bucket method, the losida method, and the gallon method so that the community can easily adjust their choices. The training continued with the creation of composting tools, inoculant solutions, and biopore infiltration holes. Obstacles faced in organic waste management are the dependence of some residents on waste collection services. Supporting factors are the high community interest in gardening, the periodic garden utilization and cleanliness competitions held by the local village, and the commitment of PKK administrators to be able to process their organic waste independently.

The presence of scattered waste in the environment has a significant impact on both environmental sustainability and human health. In Indonesia, the accumulation of waste has reached alarming levels, amounting to approximately 175,000 tons per day, or the equivalent of 64 million tons annually. Household activities are one of the main contributors, producing a wide variety of waste, including organic and non-organic materials. Poto Village is among the areas receiving particular attention regarding this issue due to the challenges it faces in waste management. Improper management of waste not only leads to air, water, and soil pollution but also increases the risk of various health problems within the community. One of the programs designed to address this problem is the 3R program, which emphasizes three main principles: reduce, recycle, and reuse. The purpose of this community service initiative is to improve public knowledge and awareness of effective waste management through the application of 3R practices. The activities were carried out in three main stages, namely preparation, education, and discussion through a question-and-answer session. The process began with a socialization activity that introduced the objectives, purposes, and sustainability aspects of waste management efforts in the village. The educational session was attended by 30 participants, consisting of housewives, farmers, and entrepreneurs, who represented key groups within the community. Furthermore, interviews with local cadres revealed that waste is collected weekly by garbage trucks, indicating the village’s commitment to environmental management. Participants responded enthusiastically throughout the educational sessions, showing a strong interest and positive reception toward the information provided. As a follow-up step, future activities could include hands-on training in waste management using available media and tools, which would allow participants to apply the concepts learned in a practical and sustainable manner.

The problem of household organic waste management, especially kitchen waste, is still an environmental challenge that has not been handled optimally. In fact, this waste has great potential to be used as environmentally friendly products. One solution that can be applied is the manufacture of eco-enzymes, which are fermented liquids from organic waste that function as a substitute for synthetic chemicals in various household and agricultural purposes. This community service activity aims to increase the awareness and skills of residents in managing organic waste through the creation of eco-enzymes as a tangible form of applying the 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) principle. The activity was carried out in Kedu Village by involving PKK women, PSRT members, the Farmer Women Group (KWT), and housewives. The methods used include counseling on the impact of household waste and the benefits of eco-enzymes, as well as direct practice of making eco-enzymes accompanied by Mrs. Faila and students of the Real Work Lecture (KKN) of Tidar University. The implementation process includes sorting kitchen waste, mixing fermentation ingredients, and monitoring yields during the incubation period. The results of the activity show that the community is able to understand the concept and techniques of making eco-enzymes well. The active participation of residents in hands-on practice reflects increased knowledge and skills in independent organic waste management. In addition, this activity encourages the formation of new sustainable habits in utilizing household waste, while reducing dependence on synthetic chemicals. Thus, this service makes a positive contribution to environmental conservation efforts and local community empowerment through educational and applicative approaches.

The ability to manage family finances is a crucial aspect in realizing household economic resilience. In practice, many housewives do not have adequate knowledge and skills in budgeting, saving, and prioritizing needs wisely. This community service activity was carried out with the aim of improving family financial literacy among housewives, especially members of the Wisma Anggrek Group, Lapandan Village. The method of implementing the activity consists of three main approaches, namely counseling on basic family financial management materials, interactive discussions to explore participants' experiences and challenges, and simulations of realistic and applicable household budget preparation. The training material covers the basic principles of financial management, saving strategies, controlling expenses, and how to prioritize needs based on the scale of urgency and financial capabilities. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in participants' understanding of the concept of family financial management. Participants are able to draw up a simple budget, recognize unnecessary expenses, and start implementing consistent saving habits. In addition, group discussions encourage the creation of spaces for sharing experiences and practical solutions among participants, which strengthens the collective spirit in building healthy financial habits. This activity has a positive impact on shaping a more planned financial mindset and behavior among housewives. It is hoped that this training will be the first step in building sustainable household economic resilience, as well as encouraging family financial independence through wise and responsible financial management.

Berambang Hamlet, located in Batu Putih Village, Sekotong Subdistrict, possesses abundant agricultural potential in the form of bananas. However, their utilization remains limited to simple processing, such as fried bananas, which offer low economic value. The housewives in this hamlet express a strong desire to develop more diverse and economically valuable banana-based products, but they face challenges due to limited skills in production, packaging, and marketing. This community service initiative aims to enhance the economic capacity of housewives through technical training in banana processing, product packaging, and effective marketing strategies. The methods applied include participatory observation, focused group discussions, hands-on practical training, and ongoing mentoring. The results of this activity indicate a significant improvement in participants' skills, particularly in processing bananas into products such as flavored banana chips. Additionally, participants are now able to design attractive packaging and market their products both locally and through digital platforms. This initiative has also succeeded in fostering new awareness of household economic potential and has encouraged entrepreneurial spirit within the community. Thus, the program not only provides short-term benefits in the form of increased skills but also creates sustainable economic opportunities for the residents of Berambang Hamlet. This capacity-building effort is expected to serve as a starting point for the development of micro-enterprises based on local potential, thereby contributing to improved family welfare and strengthening the village economy.

Domestic violence (KDRT) is a form of human rights violation that occurs in the domestic space and has a wide impact on the integrity of the family. The reform of the criminal law through Law No. 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code marks a more serious recognition of domestic violence as a criminal act. This article aims to examine the update of the criminal rules against domestic violence perpetrators in the new Criminal Code and examine it from the perspective of Islamic law. Using a normative juridical approach and comparative analysis, this study found that the new Criminal Code has adopted a more progressive approach to victim protection, including in criminal arrangements against perpetrators. On the other hand, Islamic law views domestic violence as a violation of the principles of justice, compassion, and moral responsibility in the family. Criminalization in Islam is preventive and corrective, and emphasizes a just solution, not merely repressive. Therefore, the reform of the national criminal law needs to be harmonized with Islamic values, in order to establish a penal system that is not only legally just, but also ethically and socially.

Food security is a strategic issue that is directly related to community welfare, especially in coastal areas that are vulnerable to climate change and economic fluctuations.

Water is an essential resource for every household. Typically, household water distribution systems rely on PVC pipes and faucets. Despite this, water leakage remains a frequent issue, occurring in both pipes and taps. This study aims to design an Arduino-based automatic faucet control system capable of detecting leaks in water pipes, with the goal of conserving water and improving usage efficiency. The system employs a pressure sensor to monitor water pressure within the pipe, an ultrasonic sensor to detect user presence at the tap, and a solenoid valve to automatically shut off the water supply in the event of a leak. Testing and design outcomes indicate that the system functions effectively. The solenoid valve successfully closes the water flow automatically when a leak is detected. However, the current system lacks a notification feature to alert users when a leak occurs. Future developments should consider integrating a notification mechanism to inform users promptly about any detected leaks.

Domestic helpers (DWs) play a vital role in sustaining household life in urban areas, yet their legal position in the Indonesian labour system remains marginal and vulnerable, without adequate legal protection. This research aims to analyse juridically normatively the legal position of domestic workers within the framework of national labour law and identify regulatory gaps and structural barriers that hinder the protection of their basic rights. Using a literature study method and a normative juridical approach, this research examines legislation, legal doctrine, and recent scientific literature. The analysis shows that Law No. 13 Year 2003 does not recognise domestic workers as formal workers, and Permenaker No. 2 Year 2015 is non-binding, creating a legal vacuum that results in vulnerability to exploitation, discrimination, and human rights violations. The absence of special regulations such as the PPRT Bill and the non-ratification of ILO Convention No. 189 exacerbate structural injustice against domestic workers. This research concludes that the legal protection of domestic workers is very weak normatively and practically, so regulative reform is needed through the enactment of special laws and harmonisation of national laws with international human rights standards in order to create a fair, inclusive and social justice-based employment system.

This research aims to examine the gap in legal protection for domestic workers in Indonesia through an analysis of Law No. 13 of 2003 on Manpower and ILO Convention No. 189 on Decent Work for Domestic Workers. Until now, domestic workers have not been explicitly recognized in national regulations, so their basic rights such as living wages, social security, and humane working hours are often neglected. This condition is exacerbated by the absence of written work contracts, the dominance of informal recruitment, and the view of the community that does not consider domestic workers as formal workers. This article concludes that the ratification of ILO Convention 189 and the passing of the Domestic Workers Protection Bill are strategic steps to strengthen legal protection for domestic workers in Indonesia, which also needs to be supported by labor inspection and comprehensive legal education.

Household waste is one of the major contributors to environmental problems. Waste management based on the 3Rs is an important strategy in reducing negative impacts on health and ecosystems.

The method used was a literature study by collecting literature from Google Scholar and Science Direct. The results showed that good knowledge encourages positive attitudes and more effective waste management practices. Education, especially to housewives, is proven to increase awareness and active participation in sorting and processing waste. Successful waste management requires active community involvement, infrastructure support, and ongoing mentoring. In conclusion, the strong relationship between knowledge, attitude and practice shows the importance of an integrated approach to household waste management based on the 3R principles to create a clean, healthy and sustainable environment. The contribution of this research to science is through the review of various field studies from a number of regions in Indonesia, and emphasizes the urgency of community-based education, especially for strategic groups such as housewives. Educational efforts to increase active participation and awareness of the 3R principles can be used as a reference in designing intervention programs by both the government and non-governmental organizations.  

Marriage in Islam is a sacred institution aimed at forming a family that embodies sakinah, mawaddah, and rahmah, while also serving as a legitimate and responsible means to fulfill biological needs. In the socio-religious context, religious figures such as kyai play a significant role, particularly in guiding the community to maintain household harmony. This study explores the role of kyai in promoting household harmony among Islamic boarding school alumni in Gading District, an area where the spiritual bond between kyai and santri remains strong. These alumni often face various challenges in their domestic lives, including differences in perspectives with their spouses and shifts in social values in the modern era. In such circumstances, kyai serve as spiritual advisors, counselors, and mediators who offer solutions based on Islamic values and local wisdom. This research aims to identify the types of guidance provided by kyai, as well as the supporting factors and obstacles they encounter in fulfilling their roles. The findings are expected to enrich scholarly discourse in the field of socio-religious studies and offer practical insights for religious leaders to strengthen their roles as agents of family harmony amid the complexities of modernization.
