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.

Religious learning in secondary schools is not only implemented through intracurricular activities but is also strengthened by applicative extracurricular programs. One form of actualizing religious learning is kultum khitobiyah activities within the Islamic Spiritual Organization (Rohani Islam/Rohis). This study aims to describe the actualization of religious learning through Rohis kultum khitobiyah activities in developing students’ public speaking skills and spirituality at SMA Negeri 2 Tuban. This research employed a qualitative approach using field research methods. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, while data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that kultum khitobiyah activities effectively actualize religious learning through students’ active involvement in religious preaching practices. These activities contribute positively to the development of public speaking skills, particularly in terms of courage, self-confidence, and the ability to deliver ideas systematically. Furthermore, kultum khitobiyah activities also play a significant role in strengthening students’ spirituality, as reflected in increased religious awareness, internalization of Islamic values, and the manifestation of religious attitudes in daily life. Therefore, kultum khitobiyah activities within the Rohis extracurricular program have a strategic role in reinforcing religious learning by integrating communication skill development with students’ spiritual formation.

The development of Digital Marketing and Electronic Word of Mouth (eWOM) has encouraged hospitals to adopt digital communication strategies to attract patients’ visit intentions. However, in public hospitals, the effectiveness of these strategies in influencing patient behavior still requires empirical validation. This study aims to analyze the influence of Digital Marketing and eWOM on patient visit intention, with Brand Awareness as an intervening variable at RSUD Cengkareng.This research employed a quantitative approach with an explanatory design. Data were collected from November to December 2025 from 100 general outpatient respondents selected using the Slovin formula and a simple random sampling technique. The data were gathered through structured questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with AMOS software.The results show that Digital Marketing and eWOM have a positive and significant effect on Brand Awareness. Both variables also significantly influence patient visit intention, with eWOM demonstrating the strongest effect. These findings indicate that information shared through digital platforms and patient recommendations plays an important role in shaping potential patients’ decisions to visit the hospital. However, Brand Awareness does not have a significant effect on patient visit intention and does not mediate the relationship between Digital Marketing, eWOM, and visit intention. This suggests that, in the context of RSUD Cengkareng as a public hospital, patients’ visit decisions are more directly influenced by digital information exposure and the credibility of online recommendations rather than by brand recognition alone.

The rapid advancement of digital technology demands a transformation in public communication to effectively engage Generation Z as digital natives. Through the Instagram account @swargaloka.sby, the Surabaya City Population and Civil Registration Department aims to drive e-KTP (electronic ID card) registration. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study examines digital communication strategies based on the framework of Chaniago and Majid (2024), which encompasses five key aspects: creativity, visual quality, audience alignment, posting consistency, and responsiveness. The analysis reveals that while appealing visuals and communicative language have successfully built audience engagement, actual participation in e-KTP registration remains suboptimal. This is attributed to a relevance gap between population administration issues and the daily lives of young people. The effectiveness of digital communication in driving tangible action depends on the account managers' ability to deliver more persuasive and personally relevant messaging to ensure a sustainable increase in administrative awareness in the digital era.

The issuance of billboard installation permits is part of local government authority in regulating public space, maintaining public order, and ensuring legal certainty. This study examines the implementation of billboard permit administration under Serang City Regional Regulation Number 3 of 2021. It applies an empirical juridical method with a qualitative approach. Data were collected through interviews with relevant local officials and a review of applicable laws and supporting legal materials. The findings indicate that the permit process involves several agencies: the Investment and One-Stop Integrated Service Office as the licensing authority, the Public Works and Spatial Planning Office for technical recommendations, the Regional Revenue Agency for tax collection, and the Municipal Police for supervision and enforcement. Although the regulatory framework is comprehensive, challenges remain, including inter-agency coordination, tax compliance, supervision effectiveness, and limited legal awareness among business actors. The study concludes that effective permit administration depends not only on clear regulations but also on strong institutional coordination and proper implementation.

Significant changes have occurred in the land administration sector with the introduction of digital land certificates as part of an ongoing digital transformation in public services. However, public understanding of the concept, procedures, and benefits of digital certificates is still relatively limited, leading to uncertainty and hesitation in their adoption.

This study examines the effectiveness of the Jambi Regional Police in enforcing criminal law in the digital era, particularly in addressing online gambling offences, from the perspective of Islamic law. The rapid development of information technology has transformed crime from physical spaces into cyberspace, characterised by anonymity, speed, and transnational reach, thereby requiring adaptive law enforcement strategies. This research adopts a qualitative juridical-empirical approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with law enforcement officers at the Jambi Regional Police, analysis of case documents, and examination of relevant legal frameworks, particularly Indonesia’s Electronic Information and Transactions Law (ITE Law). The findings reveal that the Jambi Regional Police have implemented several strategic measures in combating digital crimes, including cyber patrols, digital forensic investigations, seizure of electronic evidence, and inter-agency coordination. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of law enforcement remains constrained by technological limitations, complex digital evidence requirements, the transnational nature of cybercrime, and limited public digital legal awareness. From an Islamic law perspective, police actions against online gambling align with the objectives of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, particularly the protection of religion (ḥifẓ al-dīn), property (ḥifẓ al-māl), and intellect (ḥifẓ al-‘aql). This study concludes that while digital criminal law enforcement by the Jambi Regional Police is fundamentally appropriate, it requires strengthened institutional capacity, integration of Islamic legal values, and adaptive policy reforms to enhance effectiveness and substantive justice.

Gender-based domestic violence (KDRT) remains a critical issue in Indonesia, particularly in urban areas like North Jakarta. This study examines the governance of services for KDRT victims from a gender perspective in 2025, employing a qualitative case study approach. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews with 20 victims and service providers at community health centers (Puskesmas), the Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Agency (DP3A), and NGOs. Findings reveal fragmented governance, characterized by weak inter-agency coordination, low accessibility for low-income victims, and insufficient integration of gender perspectives in handling procedures. Key barriers include bureaucratic hurdles and inadequate training for staff on toxic masculinity issues. The study recommends an integrated governance model based on gender-responsive governance, including a one-stop digital platform and enhanced multi-stakeholder collaboration. Policy implications support the achievement of SDGs 5 and 16 at the local level. This study also highlights the importance of increasing public awareness and education regarding gender-based domestic violence to create a safer and more inclusive environment for victims.

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease with a high prevalence and is a major risk factor for serious complications such as stroke and heart disease. Low public awareness and limited capacity of health workers to provide education and early detection pose challenges in hypertension prevention efforts at the community level. The program “Capacity Building for Health Workers as an Effort to Prevent and Control Hypertension in Mandiangin Timur Village” was implemented by Field Learning Experience (PBL) Group 20 students in August 2025 in Mandiangin Timur Village, Karang Intan District, Banjar Regency. The intervention was carried out through interactive lectures, discussions, and the use of educational media in the form of posters, leaflets, and videos. The targets of the activity consisted of 17 cadres and 30 villagers. Knowledge evaluation using pre-tests and post-tests showed an increase in the average score of cadres from 95.28 to 96.46, while the community increased from 76 to 92.33. Blood pressure checks also showed that most participants were in stage 1–2 hypertension, emphasizing the need for ongoing education. This program proved effective in increasing the capacity of cadres and community knowledge about risk factors, prevention, and management of hypertension. In addition, this activity strengthened the role of cadres as agents of change in ongoing efforts to control hypertension at the village level.

Overall, this community service activity makes a positive contribution to strengthening students’ capacity to face human rights challenges in the digital era.

Cassava is one of the strategic agricultural commodities in Indonesia, contributing significantly to national production, particularly in several major producing provinces. In addition to the challenge of declining harvested areas, cassava processing activities also generate agricultural waste that poses environmental risks. In Purwasari Village, Dramaga Subdistrict, Bogor Regency, household-scale cassava processing industries produce solid waste in the form of cassava peels, which are not optimally managed and are commonly discarded in the surrounding environment. This cassava waste has the potential to cause environmental pollution, unpleasant odours, and negative impacts on public health. One sustainable alternative for managing this cassava waste is the use of cassava peels as a raw material for composting. This study aimed to identify problems associated with cassava peel waste and to assess members of the Taruna Tani Millennial Farmer Group's interest in compost production using cassava peels. The research was conducted from December 2024 to June 2025 using a community-based assistance approach. Data was collected through interviews and questionnaires involving 20 respondents. The results showed that the main problems associated with cassava peel waste include waste accumulation, limited processing facilities, and low community awareness. Farmers’ interest in cassava peel composting was generally categorized as high, with an average score of 77%, although several indicators remained at a moderate level. Extension activities and hands-on demonstrations were proven to enhance farmers’ understanding, interest, and participation. With sustained educational support and adequate facilities, the use of cassava peel compost has strong potential to promote environmentally friendly, sustainable agricultural waste management.

The "Desa Sehat Berdaya: Digital-Based Health and Local Economy Innovation" program was implemented in Bulawan 2 Village to address low awareness of preventive health, Clean and Healthy Living Behaviors (PHBS), and limited social education for children and adolescents on bullying, early marriage, and drug abuse (NAPZA). The goal was to improve public health through promotive-preventive interventions, enhance health cadre capacity for sustainable village programs, and increase understanding of healthy behaviors and social risks among youth. A participatory-collaborative approach was used, involving community organization, multi-party coordination, program presentation, intervention implementation, evaluation, and follow-up with health cadres, alongside simple digital media utilization.

For youth, PHBS socialization, anti-bullying, early marriage education, and NAPZA awareness enhanced understanding of healthy behaviors and social issues. Collaboration with Karang Taruna strengthened youth participation and social cohesion.

This study aims to examine how the implementation of Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC) carried out by Friendshub contributes to building and strengthening brand awareness. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach and a case study method, data were collected through in-depth interviews with the core team of Friendshub and documentation of marketing activities, which were then thematically analyzed to explore communication patterns and creative strategies applied. The findings reveal that Friendshub integrates six elements of IMC as proposed by Belch and Belch (2021)—advertising, sales promotion, public relations, personal selling, direct marketing, and digital/interactive marketing—implemented across various channels such as social media, WhatsApp, email blasts, and event organization that emphasizes direct experiential engagement. The success of this implementation is supported by close communication with clients, consistent visual identity, and the adaptability of messages to audience needs, while challenges include limited budgets, dependence on client briefs, and short execution timelines. These findings highlight that consistent, creative, and adaptive IMC practices are not only effective in enhancing brand awareness but also in strengthening long-term relationships between Friendshub as a brand and its audience, thereby contributing positively to the sustainability of its image and corporate growth.
