Improving public health is essential to achieving a better quality of life. An effective approach is to educate the public about balanced nutrition and healthy lifestyle practices. While a balanced diet ensures that the body receives the necessary nutrients in appropriate amounts, a healthy lifestyle—including regular exercise, sufficient rest, and avoiding harmful habits—is equally important. These practices help strengthen and improve the immune system, leading to overall well-being and happiness. Educational programs play a crucial role in raising awareness and transforming behaviors toward healthier habits. This document discusses the importance of a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle while providing strategies for implementing educational programs for individuals and communities. Effective collaboration between the government, health institutions, and society is the key to achieving sustainable health improvements.

The results of the 2018 Riskesdas show an increase in the prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) compared to 2013 data, such as cancer, stroke, chronic kidney disease, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus increased from 6.9% to 8.5%, while hypertension increased from 25.8% to 34.1% based on blood sugar and blood pressure examinations. In this context, community empowerment is very important to increase awareness of the importance of routine health checks and early detection of NCDs. One strategic effort is the establishment of Posbindu in each region to facilitate public health checks. However, several regions, including Cipta Graha Mandiri Housing in Tasikmalaya City, do not yet have Posbindu due to low community participation in routine health checks and limited procurement of Posbindu by the Health Center. This condition risks making people unaware of their health problems, which can cause serious complications and reduce quality of life. Through this empowerment program, it is hoped that the community will be more active in maintaining their health, carrying out early detection of NCDs, and increasing awareness of the importance of a healthy lifestyle.

Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) are a serious health challenge in Indonesia, especially in Setiajaya Village, where low public awareness of NCD risk factors makes the condition worse. This study aims to increase public knowledge and awareness regarding NCDs through the "GEMPITA" program which teaches the use of organic waste to grow Family Medicinal Plants (TOGA). The community service method was used, involving planning, direct education, and pre-test and post-test based evaluation. The results showed a significant increase in participant understanding (p-value = 0.001) with 92% of participants showing increased knowledge. Enthusiasm and active interaction during the education session were indicators of success. These results suggest that the use of waste for TOGA can be implemented as a community step in preventing NCDs. The implications of this study point to the importance of expanding this education program to other areas and involving various stakeholders so that the impact is more significant.

Abstract: Real Work Lecture (KKN) activities in Penari Village, Pasuruan, East Java, were carried out by students at Bhayangkara University, Jakarta Raya as a form of service to the community.

Based on the record owned by the cadre, there are currently 97 babies and toddlers. However, the attendance rate of mothers and toddlers at the Mawar Indah Posyandu  (integrated health service post) averages only 35% each month. This low attendance rate attracted researchers to initiate a community counseling program with goals to increase awareness and participation among mothers of infants and toddlers in the area.  The approach to community empowerment adopted in this study is centered on a public health education campaign, highlighting the critical role of Posyandu in supporting the growth and development of infants and toddlers. The initiative included key steps starting with presenting the benefits of Posyandu for children's growth and developments, engaging participants in a discussion session, and providing door prizes as incentives. The result of the outreach program is attended by 28 mothers along with their children. However, at this level of attendance achieved an average at 28.8%, falling short of the defined success indicators and lower than the previous rate. This outcome was influenced by several factors as outlined in H.L. Bloom’s theory, including environmental factors, individual behavior, healthcare services, and genetic predispositions. The findings indicate that despite efforts to increase awareness and participation, the involvement of mothers with infants and toddlers in the area remains insufficient. Contributing factors include environmental, behavioral, and healthcare service factors. To achieve more optimal results, improvements in these aspects are essential to increase maternal participation in Posyandu programs.

Effective urban spatial planning is a key element in supporting sustainable urban development. Tangerang, as one of the rapidly growing urban areas, faces significant challenges due to conflicts between increasing population density and the need for green spaces as ecological balancing elements. This study aims to analyze the issues of urban spatial planning in Tangerang, focusing on the factors driving the conflict between population density and the provision of green spaces. A qualitative approach was used, involving secondary data analysis from urban spatial planning documents, government policies, and relevant literature reviews.The findings indicate that high urbanization rates, discrepancies in the implementation of spatial planning policies, and low public awareness of the importance of green spaces are the primary factors exacerbating the problem. Additionally, the lack of green spaces has negative impacts on environmental quality, such as rising urban temperatures, increased flooding, and a decline in residents' quality of life. As a solution, this study recommends integrating spatial planning strategies based on ecological approaches, including optimizing zoning policies, developing vertical gardens in densely populated areas, and enhancing community participation in green space conservation. These findings are expected to contribute to more sustainable urban spatial planning in Tangerang and other cities facing similar challenges.

The implications of this research emphasize the importance of ongoing collaboration between students, village government, and the community to ensure the sustainability of environmental programs.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease characterized by abnormal blood sugar levels whose prevalence is increasing in Indonesia, including in Tasikmalaya City. Based on the Tasikmalaya City Health Office report in 2023, there were 11,782 DM patients, with 744 cases recorded in the Tawang Health Center working area. Tawangsari Village, namely RW 01, has health problems related to DM where people are less aware of the importance of implementing a healthy lifestyle, especially doing physical activity and limited posyandu services. The purpose of this “SEMANGGI” program is to increase community knowledge and awareness about DM prevention through education and joint gymnastics. The method used was participatory-based, involving health education through lectures, questions and answers, and the completion of pre-test and post-test to measure knowledge improvement. In addition, joint exercises designed to support a healthy lifestyle were conducted. Evaluation results showed a significant increase in community knowledge scores from an average of 2.65 in the pre-test to 4.45 in the post-test (p<0.001). This program demonstrates the effectiveness of participatory-based community empowerment in improving knowledge and promoting a healthy lifestyle to prevent DM. The sustainability of activities like this is needed to optimize its positive impact on public health.

One critical component in the rapidly expanding halal tourism industry is the existence of hotels catering to the needs of Muslim travelers, known as Sharia-compliant hotels. Operating within the framework of Islamic law, these hotels bear the responsibility of managing funds in accordance with Sharia principles. The management of non-halal funds within such establishments presents a complex challenge that necessitates careful consideration to ensure compliance with Islamic values while addressing financial and social aspects. This study aims to provide insights into strategies for managing non-halal funds in Sharia-compliant hotels within the framework of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and from the perspective of Islamic economic law. Using a qualitative research approach with descriptive analysis through a literature review, the findings indicate that the legal status of non-halal funds may be permissible if allocated for general public welfare. Recommended management strategies include adherence to the PSAK 101 accounting standard and the application of Tafriq Shafqah principles through CSR initiatives. Non-halal funds are optimally distributed for social welfare (maslahah wa tashrif al-‘ammah) such as empowering local communities through education and training, supporting zakat and charity programs, promoting sustainable environmental management, ensuring fair employment opportunities, fostering local economic development, and enhancing public education and awareness. These efforts not only enhance the positive reputation of Sharia-compliant hotels but also contribute significantly to the economic, environmental, and social well-being of the broader community.

This study aims to examine the contribution of historical science in the effort to revitalize museums as educational institutions and preserve cultural heritage. Museums, as public spaces that store and exhibit historical collections, have an important role in facilitating public understanding of the nation's history. However, in the context of the development of the times and changes in public preferences, museums often face challenges in attracting visitors. The contribution of historical science in museum revitalization includes a more interactive approach, technology integration, and storytelling based on in-depth historical research. Thus, historical science not only functions as a source of information, but also as a basis for creating educational experiences that can connect the current generation with relevant historical values. This study suggests various revitalization strategies that can be applied to increase the attractiveness and function of museums as centers for learning and preserving culture, as well as strengthening historical awareness.

Since 2017, the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/Head of the National Land Agency has been tasked by President Joko Widodo to complete land registration across Indonesia by 2025 through the Complete Systematic Land Registration Program (PTSL). Based on Ministerial Regulation ATR/BPN Number 12 of 2017, updated with Number 6 of 2018, this program aims to provide legal certainty and protection of land rights for the community. However, many people, especially in North Gorontalo Regency, still do not understand how to obtain land certificates due to a lack of information and education about PTSL. This research aims to explore government policies that provide land ownership certificates as legal protection for the community. Better coordination is needed between local governments and the Ministry of ATR/BPN to raise public awareness of the importance of land certificates, which not only guarantee ownership but can also be utilized as business capital. The PTSL program is expected to improve community welfare and reduce land disputes. Research findings indicate that public understanding in North Gorontalo Regency remains low, with obstacles such as a lack of information, complicated procedures, and limited access. Government policies need to include regulatory simplification and increased transparency as well as public services.
