This research aims to analyze the effectiveness of the implementation of the staple food assistance program in Tapadaka Satu Village, Dumoga Tenggara Sub-district, Bolaang Mongondow Regency, Sulawesi Utara Province. The main sub-focus of this research includes five aspects of effectiveness measurement proposed by Sutrisno (2018), namely: (1) program understanding, (2) target accuracy, (3) timeliness, (4) achievement of objectives, and (5) real change. This research employs a qualitative, descriptive research approach. Data collection techniques include interviews, observation, and documentation. The results indicate that the implementation of the staple food assistance program in Tapadaka Satu Village has not been fully effective. In terms of program understanding, socialization has been conducted by the Social Affairs Office and village government, but some beneficiary families still do not fully understand the program’s mechanisms, rights, and obligations. In target accuracy, discrepancies in beneficiary data persist due to changing socio-economic conditions and the suboptimal updating of DTSEN data. In timeliness, assistance distribution generally follows the mechanism, but delays in fund disbursement still occur. In achieving objectives, the program helps reduce beneficiary families’ food expenditure burden, although delays affect results. Lastly, real change remains limited, short-term, and has not significantly improved community welfare.

Children in Tambak Osowilangun Village have high access to digital technology, but their digital financial literacy remains very low. Technology is generally used only for entertainment and social media without an understanding of its economic value. This condition is exacerbated by limited supervision from parents, the majority of whom work in the industrial sector, leaving children vulnerable to uncontrolled consumer behavior online. This community service activity aims to equip children in Tambak Osowilangun Village with a basic understanding of modern economics. The main focus is to improve their ability to manage their finances wisely, introduce the concept of digital savings, and develop critical thinking skills so they can distinguish between needs and wants in the technology era. The program uses the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method, which involves the active participation of children through a spiral of stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection. Data was collected through participant observation to monitor the learning dynamics of participants during the educational sessions. The implementation of the activity showed a significant increase in participants' financial understanding. Children became more aware of the risks of digital fraud and began to understand how financial applications work. Through interactive discussion sessions, high enthusiasm was generated, shifting the children's mindset from mere entertainment users to financially savvy technology users. The synergy between students and the community has succeeded in fostering a disciplined and responsible economic character in the young generation in the village.

This study aims to examine the role of youth organizations (Karang Taruna) in the development of the Grujakan Tluvalley tourist attraction in Barong Kulon Hamlet, Candi Village, Pacitan Regency, with a focus on their involvement in the management and development of community-based tourism (CBT). The research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design, where data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participatory observation, and documentation involving youth members, tourism managers, and the local community. The findings indicate that youth play an important role in operational management, digital promotion, and community-based tourism activities, supported by strong values of mutual cooperation and natural resource potential. However, several challenges remain, including limited funding, lack of training opportunities, and inadequate infrastructure. These findings highlight that youth act not only as implementers but also as key drivers and innovators, emphasizing the need for capacity building through continuous training and institutional support. Theoretically, this study enriches the discourse on youth participation in tourism, while practically providing recommendations for village governments and stakeholders.

Suboptimal waste management has become a serious problem in local communities, even though inorganic waste has high economic potential if managed wisely. In Tegalsari Village, Ambulu Subdistrict, waste management needs to be strengthened through a financial approach. This community service activity aims to empower the economy of Tegalsari Village residents by revitalizing the management of the waste bank so that it provides direct economic value that can increase household income. The implementation of this activity was carried out through a planning phase that included program coordination meetings, the formation and revitalization of the management structure, educational outreach on the economic value of waste, and a partnership collaboration with the Karya Mandiri Jember Central Waste Bank (BSI). Furthermore, the operational implementation phase includes the sorting of inorganic waste by residents in their respective homes, weighing, recording financial transactions in customer savings books, and transporting the waste to collectors. The results of these activities demonstrate the establishment of a more organized management system and an increase in residents’ active participation in waste sorting. The profit-sharing system for customer savings from waste sales has proven effective in boosting residents’ enthusiasm, enabling the program to tangibly transform waste into income while strengthening the domestic economic resilience of the Tegalsari Village community.

Stunting is a public health problem characterized by impaired growth and development of children due to chronic malnutrition, recurrent infections, and suboptimal parenting. The problem of stunting is still a concern in various regions, including Darma Village, Polewali District, Polewali Mandar Regency which requires family-based interventions through promotive and preventive approaches. Lack of family health literacy, suboptimal use of digital information, and low monitoring of children's growth and development are factors that can affect stunting prevention efforts. This community service activity aims to increase digital health literacy and family promotive-preventive behavior in stunting prevention through the Keluarga Darma CERDAS program. The method of implementing activities uses a participatory health promotion approach through family education, discussions, demonstrations of healthy menus based on local food, delivery of ABCDE messages to prevent stunting, the use of simple digital media such as WhatsApp and digital posters, and family assistance. The target of the activity was 20 families at risk of stunting in Darma Village, Polewali District, Polewali Mandar Regency. This activity is expected to increase family knowledge about stunting prevention, improve the family's ability to access correct health information, strengthen the role of the family in monitoring child growth and development, and form a family digital education group as a medium for continuous mentoring. The output of activities is in the form of increasing family health literacy, Darma Cerdas Sehat education modules, digital health promotion media, and family empowerment models in an effort to accelerate community-based stunting prevention.

This community service activity is motivated by the suboptimal implementation of sharing values during Ramadan in Taman Sepanjang Village, Sidoarjo, particularly among economically disadvantaged communities who require both material and spiritual support. This study aims to enhance religious awareness, strengthen social solidarity, and empower the community through a takjil-sharing program based on charity. The method used is the Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) approach, consisting of discovery, dream, design, define, and destiny stages. Data collection techniques include participatory observation, interviews, Focus Group Discussions (FGD), and documentation. The results indicate an increase in community understanding of charity and piety, higher participation of residents as volunteers and donors, and stronger social relationships among community members. Furthermore, the program successfully fostered a sustainable culture of sharing and strengthened social cohesion. Despite challenges such as limited funding and coordination, the program is considered effective in providing positive social and spiritual impacts and has the potential for sustainable development.

The distribution of takjil in Pucang Village, Buduran, Sidoarjo a tradition of sharing food to break the fast is not only viewed as a form of individual worship but also plays a vital role in strengthening social bonds among residents. In addition to fostering brotherhood, the practice of sharing takjil also serves as a means of instilling social values such as empathy, mutual cooperation, and a sense of responsibility toward the surrounding community. In the context of the takjil-sharing activity, social solidarity is key to strengthening bonds of brotherhood. In the social life of Muslim communities in Indonesia, the tradition of sharing takjil during Ramadan is not merely a routine distribution of food for breaking the fast, but a social practice that can strengthen the sense of brotherhood among residents. This study employs the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method, an approach that positions the community as both the subject and an active partner throughout the entire research and community service process. The primary purpose of the iftar-sharing activities during Ramadan is not merely to meet the practical needs of breaking the fast, but also to strengthen social bonds and brotherhood among community members through shared experiences and direct interaction.

This study analyzes the politics of spatial planning in the land-use conversion of the Bowosie Forest in Labuan Bajo as part of the National Strategic Project (PSN) for tourism development. The transformation of the forest into an economic tourism zone demonstrates that spatial planning is not neutral, but rather an arena of power relations among the state, investors, and local communities. Through regulatory instruments such as revisions of the Regional Spatial Plan (RTRW), ministerial decrees on forest release, and the granting of Management Rights (HPL) to BPOLBF, the state has facilitated tourism investment and the commodification of space. Using a qualitative approach and David Harvey’s theory of Accumulation by Dispossession, the study finds that these policies have produced three forms of exclusion: spatial exclusion (loss of access to land and water sources), political exclusion (limited community participation in decision-making), and economic exclusion (development benefits concentrated among investors). The village government occupies a structurally limited position due to the top-down nature of the policy framework. The study concludes that the conversion of the Bowosie Forest reflects a process of capital accumulation legalized through state regulation, highlighting the need for more inclusive and socially just spatial planning.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of Good Governance principles—transparency, accountability, participation, effectiveness, efficiency, rule of law, and inclusivity—in public administration services at the Sungai Tabukan Sub-district Office, especially in the Service, Economy, and Social Welfare Section. The method used is a qualitative approach with a case study design through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation of sub-district officials and service user communities. The data was analyzed through reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawn, and tested for validity by triangulation and member check techniques. The results of the study show that procedural transparency, compliance with SOPs, and administrative accountability mechanisms have been running relatively well, so that services such as SKKM, marriage recommendations, and population documents can be processed openly and can be traced. However, the limitations of human resources, facilities, and digital infrastructure cause the effectiveness and efficiency of services to still be conditional and depend on key actors. Community participation has been facilitated through forums and feedback channels, but it is still dominated by village intermediaries so that the direct involvement of residents is not optimal. In terms of the rule of law and inclusivity, services have been based on regulations and are non-discriminatory, although there are still inequality in access and speed of services between regions. The main supporting factors include leadership commitment, internal work culture, and the existence of SOPs, while inhibiting factors include limited human resources, facilities, and information systems that have not been integrated. It was concluded that the implementation of Good Governance in public administration services in Sungai Tabukan District has been running functionally, but has not been fully consolidated systemically. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen policies through the digitization of services, increase the capacity of the apparatus, improve facilities, integrate data-based accountability and transparency systems, and expand citizen participation channels to realize more professional, fair, and sustainable public administration service.

The routine prayer recitation activity with teenagers in Jatikalang Village, Krian, Sidoarjo, essentially arose from the need for moral development among teenagers amidst today's increasingly complex and externally influenced lives. Through this activity, it is hoped that teenagers can become closer to religious values ​​without feeling patronized, as the activities are simple and relevant to their daily lives. Furthermore, a sense of community among teenagers is fostered, becoming more than just a form of worship but also a positive gathering space. The implementation itself uses an Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach, emphasizing existing community potential, such as the role of administrators, youth involvement, and available village facilities. The activity is relatively simple, starting with an opening and reciting prayers, rowi Diba' (the prayer of the Prophet), mahalul qiyam (the prayer of the Prophet), and closing with a short sermon (kultum) usually containing light but impactful messages. These activities are beginning to show changes: teenagers are becoming more active, a sense of togetherness is growing, and good habits such as discipline, mutual respect, and responsibility are gradually emerging. Furthermore, this activity serves as an alternative to prevent teenagers from getting caught up in less beneficial activities. There are still challenges, particularly with fluctuating attendance and the strong influence of the external environment. However, if maintained and developed consistently, this activity has great potential to become a platform for social and spiritual development for youth. Overall, this sholawat routine is quite effective in developing religious character and strengthening social ties within the community.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of cross-sector education based on community participation as an effort to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Watangsono Village, Wonogiri. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach by collecting data through participatory observation, documentation, and Focus Group Discussions (FGD) involving key stakeholders in the village. The results show that the implementation of cross-sector educational programs covering education, health, economy, and environment has a significant impact on improving community knowledge, skills, and awareness. Community participation was reflected through active involvement in various practical activities, such as anti-bullying education, digital literacy training, stunting prevention through local food processing, herbal plant utilization, natural pesticide production, family health massage practices, and strengthening local economic capacity. The participatory and applicative approach encourages two-way knowledge transfer and strengthens community capacity in managing local resources sustainably. Despite challenges such as limited resources and time constraints, the program demonstrates positive contributions to supporting SDGs achievement at the village level. Therefore, cross-sector education based on community participation can serve as an effective strategy in empowering rural communities and fostering sustainable development.

Meanwhile, the inhibiting factors consist of limited human resources of village officials, low community understanding, and limited budget for empowerment programs

Indonesia is a country rich in cultural diversity, one of which is the Tedak Siten tradition that is still preserved by Javanese communities, including those in Bancar Village. This tradition is not merely a cultural heritage but also contains important educational and spiritual values in community life. This study aims to understand the meaning of the Tedak Siten tradition, identify the educational and spiritual values embedded within it, and analyze it from the perspective of Islam Nusantara. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach using observation, interviews, and documentation techniques, with informants selected purposively from community members directly involved in the tradition. The findings reveal that Tedak Siten functions as a medium for character education, instilling values such as independence, responsibility, and perseverance from an early age. In addition, the tradition strengthens spiritual values through prayers and expressions of gratitude to Allah SWT. From the perspective of Islam Nusantara, Tedak Siten reflects a harmonious acculturation between local culture and Islamic teachings without contradicting the principle of monotheism. The implications of this study indicate that local traditions can be utilized as contextual learning resources in Islamic education while also serving as a means of preserving valuable cultural heritage. Therefore, Tedak Siten remains relevant not only as a tradition but also as a medium for character building and strengthening religious values in society.

Fish farming using the biofloc system is a technological innovation capable of increasing efficiency, production results, and the sustainability of fisheries business at the village level. This study aims to determine the development of fish farming businesses using the biofloc system in increasing family income in Sembuluh village. Then, it aims to understand the impact of using the biofloc system in increasing family income and to understand the Islamic economic perspective on the utilization of the biofloc system in increasing family income. The method used is a qualitative or field research approach with purposive sampling techniques to collect data from 5 fish farmers who implement the biofloc system.

The research results show that fish farming using a biofloc system is able to increase family income through increased production and feed cost efficiency. This system supports more controlled pond management, maintains water quality, and produces more stable harvests. In addition to increasing income, the implementation of the biofloc system also strengthens family economic resilience due to planned harvest cycles and group cooperation. From an Islamic economic perspective, this practice aligns with the principles of halal, honesty, justice, and social responsibility, as well as providing benefits for families and the community.

This research aims to analyze the role and impact of PT Batujaya Bersama Sejahtera (PT BBS) on the socio-economic conditions of the community in Walandano Village, Balaesang Tanjung District. The background of this study is driven by the massive expansion of the mining industry in Central Sulawesi, which triggers a structural shift from traditional agriculture to an industrial economy. This study employs a qualitative method with data collection techniques including in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The findings indicate that PT BBS plays a significant role in local economic development by providing employment opportunities, increasing household income, and improving public infrastructure such as roads and jetties. However, the study also identifies social disruptions, including public protests regarding land issues and environmental concerns like dust and noise pollution. The implications of this research suggest that the company must strengthen its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs by focusing on sustainable community empowerment and more transparent communication to mitigate social risks. These findings contribute to the literature on regional economic development and social change in coastal mining areas.

Waste management has become a critical environmental issue at both global and national levels due to increasing population and changing consumption patterns. In Indonesia, waste generation exceeds 60 million tons annually, with a significant portion consisting of plastic waste that requires hundreds of years to decompose. One of the main challenges in addressing this issue is the low level of public awareness and understanding regarding waste types and their decomposition time. This community service program conducted by students of Universitas Negeri Padang aims to improve environmental awareness through environmental education and community empowerment using an innovative visual medium in the form of waste decomposition time educational boards. The activity was implemented in Pasar Hilir Hamlet, Lumindai Village, using a participatory approach involving observation, socialization, board design, production, and installation. The results indicate that the program successfully enhanced community knowledge regarding the differences between organic and inorganic waste and their environmental impacts. The educational boards, placed in strategic locations near waste disposal areas, function as effective visual tools that continuously deliver information and reinforce environmentally responsible behavior. In addition, this program contributes to improving environmental cleanliness, strengthening community participation, and increasing environmental literacy. Therefore, the innovation of waste decomposition time educational boards serves not only as an informative medium but also as a sustainable educational tool to promote long-term behavioral change toward environmental awareness.
