The development of tourism villages is an effective strategy to improve community welfare and support the realization of sustainable development at the local level. This study aims to analyze strategies for developing a tourism village through the Community Service Program (Kuliah Kerja Nyata/KKN), with a particular focus on creating a healthy, clean, and educational village in Ambarawa, Pringsewu Regency. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through field observations, in-depth interviews with village officials, community leaders, and local entrepreneurs, as well as documentation of program activities. The findings reveal that the implementation of the KKN program involved three main strategies. First, environmental hygiene and health education were carried out through socialization, mentoring, and community-based clean-up initiatives. Second, digital-based tourism promotion was developed using social media and online platforms, which increased destination visibility and enhanced tourist appeal. Third, local economic empowerment was strengthened by providing training and mentoring for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), along with the introduction of non-cash transactions using QRIS to facilitate modern and efficient payments. These efforts successfully fostered community participation, raised environmental awareness, and stimulated innovative approaches to tourism promotion. Nevertheless, several challenges were identified, such as limited program duration, low levels of digital literacy among some residents, and the absence of comprehensive regulations governing tourism management. Recommendations include establishing a formal tourism management institution (Pokdarwis), enhancing capacity through digital literacy training, and fostering sustainable collaboration among government, academia, and the community to ensure that tourism village development can progress consistently, innovatively, and sustainably.

This study examines the dynamics of urban politics in the policy of the Palembang City Government regarding the management of disorganized electrical cables. The problem of irregularly hanging cables, mixed with telecommunication lines, and often dangling too low poses safety risks, reduces the city’s aesthetics, and reflects weak governance of urban infrastructure. This research employs a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected through field observations, in-depth interviews with relevant stakeholders, and documentation. The research informants consisted of representatives from the Palembang City Government, PLN (the state electricity company), telecommunication providers, and affected communities. The findings indicate that cable management policy is a concrete effort by the government to create an orderly, safe, and modern urban spatial arrangement. The Palembang City Government seeks to reorganize the overhead cable networks while simultaneously planning the development of underground utility ducts as a long-term solution. However, the implementation of this policy faces several challenges, particularly conflicting interests among stakeholders: PLN emphasizes operational efficiency, telecommunication providers resist additional financial burdens, while the public demands quick action but shows limited participation. This study concludes that the issue of cable management is not merely technical but also represents an arena of urban political contestation among the state, the private sector, and society. Effective solutions require cross-sectoral coordination, strong regulatory frameworks, collaborative financing, and active community involvement. Through a comprehensive approach, cable management in Palembang City has the potential to enhance public safety, improve urban aesthetics, and strengthen government legitimacy in sustainable urban governance.

The Sugio–Tlanak Road Section, Sugio District, Lamongan Regency, is a vital transportation infrastructure as it connects interregional activities, both in economic, social, and community mobility aspects. This road is the main route used by various types of vehicles, from light vehicles to heavy vehicles with quite high traffic intensity. This condition has a significant impact on the quality of the road pavement, as indicated by the presence of various types of damage at several points, such as cracks, potholes, and road surface deformation. Therefore, a comprehensive evaluation is needed to determine the level of road damage as a basis for consideration in planning maintenance and repairs. This study uses two assessment methods, namely the Bina Marga method and the Pavement Condition Index (PCI). The Bina Marga method assesses road conditions based on the Surface Distress Index (SDI) value obtained from direct identification in the field. The evaluation results show that the road condition on the Sugio–Tlanak section is classified as severely damaged at 60%, moderately damaged at 30%, and good condition at only 10%. Meanwhile, the PCI method provides results in the form of more detailed quantitative values. The analysis results obtained an average PCI score of 58.6, which is included in the Fair category. A comparison of the two methods shows that the Bina Marga method has advantages in terms of speed and ease of implementation, but its assessment is relatively subjective. In contrast, the PCI method provides more accurate and measurable results because it uses a quantitative approach with clear damage condition parameters. Therefore, although the Bina Marga method can still be used for rapid assessments in the field, the PCI method is more recommended as a basis for technical decision-making in planning road maintenance and quality improvement programs.

This study presents a modal analysis of Pertamina EP Cepu’s closed drain pump 510-P9002, which operates in the condensate–water treatment unit of the Jambaran Tiung Biru field. Field vibration measurements conducted in August 2024 indicated a fundamental frequency of 25 Hz, corresponding to 1×RPM of the driving motor, with maximum amplitudes reaching 13.46 mm/s. Such excessive vibration poses risks of mechanical damage, reduced equipment service life, and potential operational failure. To address this issue, finite element analysis (FEA) was employed to examine the dynamic response of the pump, determine its natural frequencies, and identify possible resonance conditions. A CAD model of the pump–vessel assembly was developed, meshed, and analyzed under actual boundary conditions. The results showed several natural frequencies ranging between 23.16 and 26.65 Hz, which are close to the excitation frequency, suggesting a very high likelihood of resonance. Various structural modifications were then evaluated, including a half casing and two types of full casings. Among these, the full casing B design provided additional stiffness in the motor support area; however, none of the modifications effectively reduced vibration within the internal components. Based on these findings, the study recommends the implementation of a dynamic vibration absorber (DVA) tuned to the excitation frequency, along with the redesign of structural components to shift natural frequencies away from operating excitation. These solutions are expected to improve operational stability, extend equipment lifespan, and enhance overall system reliability. The outcomes of this research provide important insights for managing vibration issues in pump systems operating under similar conditions, particularly in the oil and gas industry where continuous, stable operation is critical.
