This community service program was conducted by Group 7 of KKN ITB Ahmad Dahlan Lamongan in Bapuhbandung Village, Glagah District, Lamongan Regency, aiming to address environmental and public health issues through the utilization of ecobricks and the cultivation of family medicinal plants (TOGA). The main problems identified were low awareness of plastic waste management and the underutilization of home yards for medicinal plants. The program applied a participatory assistance method involving students, parents, youth, and village officials throughout the stages of observation, planning, implementation, and evaluation. The results showed that more than 300 ecobricks were produced and assembled into an installation forming the word “BAPUHBANDUNG,” which now serves as a new village icon. In addition, medicinal plants such as ginger, turmeric, and lemongrass were planted around the installation area and residents’ yards. The evaluation indicated high community participation, good-quality ecobricks, and positive initial growth of TOGA. This program not only produced physical outputs but also increased community awareness of plastic waste management, family health independence, and the strengthening of village identity.

Employee work discipline is one of the important aspects of human resource management, especially in service companies that heavily rely on their employees' performance.

This activity is a form of Community Service by students aimed at increasing employees' understanding and awareness of the importance of work discipline through educational and practical approaches. The implementation methods of the activity include observation, interviews, discussions, documentation, and the implementation of an educational program in the form of work discipline posters as well as providing recommendations for a simple reward and punishment system. The results of the activity show that internal educational media serve as an effective visual reminder in increasing employee awareness of punctuality and work responsibility. This community service activity is expected to support the improvement of employee performance, service quality, and the operational sustainability of PT CAI.

Waste-related issues have become increasingly complex environmental challenges as a result of population growth and shifting consumption patterns within society. Although Indonesia has established a legal framework through Law Number 18 of 2008 on Waste Management, its implementation at the community level continues to encounter various obstacles, particularly low legal awareness and an underdeveloped legal culture. This community service program aims to foster and strengthen a legal culture in waste management as an effort to promote environmental sustainability in Mrutuk Village, Widang District, Tuban Regency. The activities were conducted using participatory and descriptive approaches, including legal education, dissemination of waste management regulations, reinforcement of legal substance and enforcement structures, and community-based assistance. The results demonstrate an improvement in public understanding and awareness of the importance of managing waste in accordance with legal provisions, a shift in attitudes from compliance motivated by supervision toward voluntary compliance, and the emergence of community initiatives to actively engage in environmentally oriented waste management. Therefore, strengthening legal culture has proven to be a crucial instrument in encouraging environmentally responsible behavior and supporting the achievement of sustainable development.

The development of information technology requires educational institutions to adapt so that administrative processes and internal management can run more effectively and efficiently. Islamic boarding schools as modern Islamic educational institutions are also not exempt from this need. This Community Service Program (PKM) aims to optimize computer networks and improve the understanding of pesantren staff regarding folder sharing systems, printer sharing, and data management ethics at Pondok Pesantren Modern Darel Azhar, Rangkasbitung, Banten. Implementation methods include initial observation, network design and installation, material delivery and training, data sharing system implementation, and technical evaluation. The results show that the pesantren now has a more organized, stable, and optimally utilized local area network (LAN). In addition, administrative staff gained a better understanding of computer network basics, data sharing systems, and digital data management ethics. This activity has a positive impact on the efficiency of pesantren administrative management and can serve as a model for implementing computer network technology in modern pesantren environments.

An earthquake occurs when energy is suddenly released within the earth’s layers, potentially causing loss of life and environmental damage. One factor contributing to the high impact of earthquakes is the lack of student understanding and inadequate education on disaster preparedness. This study aimed to assess earthquake disaster management education at the Nur Adia Junior High School Education Foundation, Tanjung Selamat, Deli Serdang. A quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest and posttest was applied, involving 63 eighth-grade students. Data were collected through questionnaires to measure students’ knowledge before and after the educational intervention on earthquake disaster management. The results indicated that before the education, 69.8% of students rarely received information about earthquake causes, 61.9% had never participated in school earthquake evacuation simulations, and 55.5% had never practiced evacuation drills. After the educational intervention, knowledge improved, with 66.6% of students reporting that the program significantly increased their understanding of earthquakes. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores (Sig. 2-tailed = 0.000 < 0.05), confirming the effectiveness of the intervention. The study concluded that education on earthquake disaster management can enhance students’ knowledge and preparedness. It is recommended that schools implement regular educational programs and disaster simulation exercises to cultivate students’ readiness and promote a culture of disaster preparedness within the school environment.

Plastic waste management in rural areas, particularly in tourism villages, remains an environmental challenge that requires sustainable solutions. Negeri Tongging Village, as a tourism area around Lake Toba, has experienced an increase in household plastic waste that has not been managed optimally, potentially affecting environmental quality and community well-being. This community service activity aimed to enhance community awareness and capacity in plastic waste management through the implementation of a circular economy approach based on a waste exchange program and ecobrick production. A participatory approach was employed by actively involving the community in all stages of the activity, including socialization, program implementation, and evaluation. The program was carried out during the 2025 Community Service Program of Universitas Islam Negeri Sumatera Utara, consisting of circular economy socialization, collection of plastic waste through an exchange scheme with basic necessities, training on ecobrick production, and the provision of supporting facilities for environmental cleanliness. The results indicate an increase in community participation and environmental awareness, a reduction in improperly disposed plastic waste, and an improvement in community skills in processing plastic waste into useful products. In addition, the activity strengthened mutual cooperation and environmental responsibility among community members. In conclusion, the application of a circular economy approach through ecobrick-based activities can serve as an effective alternative solution for plastic waste management while simultaneously supporting sustainable community empowerment in rural tourism areas.

This community service activity aims to design a prototype of a web-based Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) registration information system at the South Sumatra Provincial Industry Office as an effort to support the improvement of public service quality. The main problem faced by partners is the manual registration and management process for IPR data, which has the potential to cause service delays, data recording errors, and difficulties in monitoring the status of IPR applications. This condition requires an information technology-based solution that can improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and transparency of services. The method used in this community service activity is the prototype method, which includes the stages of problem identification, user needs analysis, system design, and initial evaluation of the resulting prototype. The designed information system prototype includes features for online IPR registration, applicant and document data management, and application status monitoring. The results of the activity indicate that the IPR registration information system prototype is able to provide an overview of digital solutions that are in accordance with partner needs and have the potential to improve service efficiency and ease of data management. This activity is expected to become the basis for the development of a more comprehensive and sustainable IPR information system within the South Sumatra Provincial Industry Office.

Factual verification of political party membership constitutes a critical administrative stage in electoral management, as it directly affects electoral integrity and democratic legitimacy. In Indonesia, this process remains predominantly reliant on conventional door-to-door verification methods, which face structural constraints including time limitations, excessive administrative burden, high costs, and vulnerability to procedural errors and electoral disputes. Meanwhile, the advancement of e-government and Electronic-Based Government Systems (E-Government) has created opportunities to adopt more accountable and verifiable digital identity mechanisms. This study aims to conceptualize and examine Electronic Know Your Customer (E-KYC) as an administrative governance model for verifying political party membership to strengthen electoral integrity within an e-government framework. Employing a mixed-methods approach with a sequential explanatory design, quantitative data were collected through a survey of 44 election officials at district and municipal election commissions in Central Java Province, Indonesia. Qualitative data were obtained through in-depth interviews with key institutional actors. The findings demonstrate a positive and significant relationship between the adoption of E-KYC and strengthened administrative electoral integrity, democratic public service values, and institutional readiness. Qualitative evidence further indicates that challenges to electoral integrity stem primarily from weaknesses in administrative procedures rather than from political contestation itself. This study concludes that E-KYC should be positioned not merely as a technological innovation but as an institutionalized administrative governance model, contingent upon regulatory clarity, system interoperability, and organizational capacity building.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Minimum Service Standards (SPM) for education administration in MTsN Batang, identify supporting and inhibiting factors, and formulate recommendations for service improvement. The study used a mixed-methods design with an evaluative approach to the CIPP model. Quantitative data were collected through questionnaires from 60 respondents, while qualitative data were collected through in-depth interviews and observations. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Kruskal-Wallis tests, while qualitative data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman's thematic analysis. The study found that SPM implementation reached 72%, with the highest achievement in student administration (85%) and the lowest in financial administration (58%). The Kruskal-Wallis test showed a significant difference in perception between groups (p=0.032). The thematic analysis identified three themes: digitization of services, human resource capacity, and transparency of accountability. The implications of the research show the need to increase human resource capacity, optimize management information systems, and strengthen coordination with the Ministry of Religion.

This community service aims to provide training on the use of the Joint Marketing Program (eJMP) application module to micro and small industry players in the  Surabaya city, so that marketing of MSI products can be carried out flexibly without being limited by space, place and time, so that marketing can reach a wider network and ensure the sustainability of MSI businesses in the future. This community service activity uses a qualitative descriptive approach by photographing the real conditions of marketing management of micro and small industries, then providing eJMP module training to 20 micro and small industry sector players as well as owners who are domiciled in the Surabaya city. The eJMP module training method is implemented through four stages, namely: (1) identifying the suitability of the eJMP module content to the marketing needs of MSI businesses, (2) determining the eJMP module training model with its marketing literacy priorities, (3) elaborating the eJMP content with MSI marketing literacy materials, and (4) implementing the eJMP module training for micro and small industry players. The results of this training indicate that micro and small industry players still experience difficulties in marketing MSI products, therefore optimizing the use of the eJMP application can help micro and small industry businesses to optimize marketing together, flexibly and effectively. This eJMP application module training includes material on the important role of joint marketing, optimizing the role of cooperatives, an introduction to the eJMP application and joint marketing simulations through the eJMP application. This training, which is carried out in a structured and systematic manner for micro and small industry players, is expected to be able to improve flexible and effective joint marketing and ensure the sustainability of MSI businesses in the future .

Stunting is a complex public health problem that requires a multisectoral approach in its management. This community service aims to increase the capacity of village officials and Village Consultative Body (BPD) in handling stunting through the strategic role of management higher education institutions. The method used is a participatory approach involving 18 participants consisting of village officials and BPD members. The activities were carried out through stages of needs analysis, stunting program management training, action plan development assistance, and monitoring evaluation. The results showed a significant increase in participants' understanding of stunting program management (from 45% to 85%), the formation of a stunting management working team at the village level, and the preparation of a comprehensive stunting management action plan. The social change that has been realized is increased cross-sectoral coordination in handling stunting and the formation of a data-based monitoring system at the village level. Management higher education institutions play a strategic role in building the managerial capacity of village officials to manage stunting programs effectively and sustainably.

Stunting remains a significant public health challenge in Indonesia, including in Paser Regency, East Kalimantan. Effective human resource (HR) management among community cadres is a critical factor in stunting prevention and intervention programs. This community service activity aimed to enhance the knowledge and skills of 33 Stunting Companion Cadres under the auspices of the Office of Population Control, Family Planning, Women's Empowerment and Child Protection (DPPKBPPPA) of Paser Regency through counseling and training on HR management principles applied to stunting mitigation. The activity was conducted using a participatory lecture method supplemented by discussion and question-and-answer sessions. Pre-test and post-test evaluations were administered to measure improvements in participants' knowledge. Results indicated a significant increase in participants' understanding of HR management concepts—including planning, recruitment, training, and performance evaluation—as applied to stunting intervention programs. The mean pre-test score was 58.3, which increased to 82.7 after the intervention (improvement of 41.8%). These findings underscore the importance of HR management capacity-building for cadres as a foundational strategy for achieving optimal stunting reduction outcomes at the community level.

This study examines the effectiveness of public service management in Ponorogo Regency's transport sector, focusing on the performance gap between traffic asset conditions (signs, traffic lights) and formal maintenance policies. This gap indicates a non-proactive maintenance cycle, exacerbated by limited resources and low organisational responsiveness to public complaints. Employing a qualitative case study grounded in a synthesis of Edwards III's Policy Implementation Theory and the New Public Service (NPS) perspective, the core findings confirm that frontline officials' low proactive disposition mediates policy implementation failure. Instead of proactive responsiveness (anticipating minor damage), officials often exhibit passive responsiveness (acting only after major incidents or reports), leading to a critical breakdown in which administrative procedures are completed but the public outcome remains poor. The novelty of this research lies in proposing a Proactive and Participatory Governance Model. This model necessitates the institutionalisation of Public Involvement (Participation) to enhance transparency and shift asset performance evaluation from output-oriented to outcome-oriented. The study concludes that the optimal model for the Ponorogo Transportation Department is the synergy between agile asset management and NPS principles (proactive and participatory) to enhance public service effectiveness.

This research aims to analyse the role of archives as agents of change in the digital transformation of archives and as catalysts for bureaucratic reform in the era of digital government at the Sorong City Regional Secretariat. The research used a mixed-methods approach, combining a quantitative survey of 30 respondents with in-depth interviews with five key informants, and analysed the data using correlation statistics and thematic analysis. The study's results show that the digital transformation of archives is closely linked to bureaucratic reform and digital governance, and qualitative findings confirm that digitisation improves administrative efficiency, data integration, and organisational accountability. The research highlights the importance of strengthening technological infrastructure, integrating information systems, and improving the competence of the apparatus as prerequisites for the success of the digital transformation of archives. This study has limitations in its scope, involving only one local government agency and a relatively small number of respondents. Therefore, further research is recommended to broaden the scope, incorporate public service quality variables, and use a longitudinal design to examine the long-term impact of archive digitisation on the performance of bureaucratic reform and digital governance more comprehensively. These findings also provide practical contributions for local governments in designing integrated, sustainable electronic archive management policies that support effective, transparent, and responsive public services to meet the needs of modern society in the future, as well as strengthening data-driven governance.  

The COVID-19 pandemic emerged as a global health crisis that revealed China's political strategies in intricate ways. This study examines the political aspects of China's response to the outbreak, focusing on its information management, domestic policies, and international diplomacy. By analyzing narratives surrounding the virus's origins and its global spread, the research also assessed the pandemic's impact on Indo-China relations[1] across diplomatic and economic dimensions. The pandemic period also coincided with a sharp deterioration in bilateral trust between India and China, highlighted by the Galwan Valley clash and subsequent tensions along the Line of Actual Control, which deepened strategic mistrust and hardened India’s policy stance. The findings illuminate how political maneuvering has redefined China's geopolitical standing during this crisis, providing insights into the evolving landscape of Indo-Pacific relations. By uncovering these complexities, this study contributes to a nuanced understanding of health geopolitics and the underlying power dynamics.    

This study aims to develop a strategic plan for Information Systems and Information Technology (IS/IT) at KR Hotel Palembang by applying the Ward and Peppard methodology. The analysis began with external environment assessment using the PEST framework and internal analysis through the MOST method and Value Chain model. The results were synthesized into a SWOT analysis to identify the organization's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. From this, Critical Success Factors (CSF) were formulated to guide the determination of key information system needs. Application portfolio mapping was then conducted using the McFarlan Strategic Grid to classify systems based on their strategic impact. Findings indicate that KR Hotel has strong potential in leveraging digital technologies but faces challenges such as the absence of integrated systems across departments and limited IT training for staff. To address these issues, an integrated system named ZKBiolock was proposed, encompassing modules such as hotel management, financial management, customer relationship management (CRM), human resource training systems, digital promotion, and internal network monitoring and control. This strategic plan is supported by a comprehensive database design, network topology, human resource and infrastructure analysis, investment budgeting, and Return on Investment (ROI) evaluation. The proposed strategy aims to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the hotel's operational management.

Healthcare organizations are increasingly required to preserve the sustainability of their institutional values by ensuring high-quality services, operational efficiency, and rigorous adherence to risk governance frameworks. RSUD dr. Chasbullah Abdulmadjid Bekasi City continues to face considerable challenges in this regard, particularly due to the limited internalization of core organizational values, disparities in the cultivation of an adaptive culture, and inconsistent employee compliance with established risk management procedures. These issues highlight the necessity for a leadership paradigm grounded in service, empathy, and empowerment.This study investigates the extent to which servant leadership influences the creation and protection of corporate values, while examining the mediating roles of strong adaptive culture and employee compliance doing the implementation of risk management. Employing a quantitative explanatory survey design, the research collected responses from 153 hospital employees, and data were analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to evaluate both direct and mediated causal pathways among variables.The findings reveal that servant leadership significantly strengthens creation and protection of corporate values, not only through direct influence but also by enhancing cultural adaptability and reinforcing compliant behavior in risk-related practices. Leaders who embody service-oriented principles are shown to cultivate work environments that foster mutual trust, organizational learning, and value-based decision-making.This study contributes meaningful empirical evidence to the discourse on leadership, organizational culture, and compliance within public hospital settings. Institutional strategies should prioritize continuous leadership development and comprehensive risk governance training to secure long-term performance excellence and reputational resilience.

This study aims to analyze the strategies employed by ustadz and ustadzah at Pondok Pesantren Tarbiyatul Islam (PPTI) Al-Falah in maintaining family resilience. The family, as the smallest unit in society, plays a crucial role in shaping individuals’ character, morality, and spirituality, particularly for those living in a pesantren environment characterized by intensive religious and educational activities. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were collected through interviews and observations involving married ustadz and ustadzah who reside within the pesantren environment. The results indicate that in building a household, conflicts are inevitable. Due to teaching responsibilities that often extend into the night, miscommunication may occur and potentially lead to domestic issues. Therefore, family resilience among ustadz and ustadzah at PPTI Al-Falah is developed through five main strategies: (1) spiritual strategies, (2) communicative strategies, (3) educational strategies, (4) social and environmental strategies, and (5) economic and time management strategies.

This community service program aimed to strengthen the capacity of local communities in managing sustainable tourism in Pesawaran Regency, Lampung Province. The initiative was motivated by the region's rich natural and cultural tourism potential, which has not yet been matched by adequate community understanding, institutional capacity, and sustainable practices. The program employed a participatory approach, including socialization, training, mentoring, and evaluations using pre- and post-program indicators. Target participants comprised Pokdarwis (tourism awareness groups), local business actors, village officials, and community leaders. Findings indicate significant improvements in understanding sustainable tourism, institutional capacity, environmentally friendly practices, utilization of local wisdom, and community participation. The program also fostered collective awareness regarding the importance of socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable destination management. Implications extend beyond individual behavior changes to the strengthening of local governance and community readiness to develop community-based tourism destinations. Overall, this initiative contributes to the development of a community empowerment model that supports regional sustainable tourism policies and has potential for replication in other areas with similar characteristics.

Bureaucratic reform at the village level is a crucial prerequisite for achieving professional, effective, and accountable village governance. One of the key pillars of this reform is the implementation of a merit system in the management of village human resources, particularly in the recruitment and appointment of village officials. In this context, the Computer-Assisted Test (CAT) has emerged as a policy innovation designed to enhance objectivity, transparency, and procedural fairness in the selection of village officials. This study aims to analyse the contribution of CAT implementation to strengthening the merit system and its impact on transforming village social conditions, especially in building public trust in village government. Quantitative data were collected through a survey of village residents and analysed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression in SPSS. Qualitative data were obtained through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis to elaborate further and explain the quantitative findings. The results indicate that transparency, objectivity, and procedural fairness in the selection process have positive and significant effects on public trust in village government, with procedural fairness emerging as the most influential variable. Qualitative findings confirm that public acceptance of selection outcomes is more strongly influenced by perceptions of fairness and openness in the process than by the selection results themselves. This study concludes that the implementation of CAT functions not only serves as a technical selection instrument but also as an institutional mechanism that helps transform village social relations from patronage-based practices toward merit-based village governance.
