This service is in the form of counseling and assistance in drafting village regulations for the BPD in Gebangan Village, Krejengan District, Probolinggo Regency. The material that will be provided is about the urgency of village regulations both philosophically, sociologically and legally and the techniques and mechanisms for drafting village regulations practically. The target of this service is BPD members and the Gebangan Village apparatus, Krejengan District. This service was taken as a strategic step and to provide an understanding of the urgency of forming village regulations and the mechanisms for drafting them. Because generally, BPD and village apparatus do not have the ability to draft village regulations, especially in Gebangan Village, even though the issuance of Law No. 6 of 2014 concerning Villages demands BPD productivity in producing legal products, especially in. This condition occurs because most BPD and its members do not have an educational background in the legal field, many are even only junior high and high school graduates or even did not graduate from school, so they do not understand enough about the issues in village regulations. In addition to not knowing about the procedures and mechanisms for drafting village regulations. Through this Community Service, it is hoped that it will become a strategic means for BPD members and Gebangan Village officials to be able to draft village regulations, so that they can get out of problems related to legal gaps in village programs.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a strategic role in supporting regional economic growth, job creation, and equitable distribution of community welfare. In Cilegon City, MSMEs are growing rapidly in various sectors, but still face a number of fundamental challenges. The main problems faced include limited access to capital, low utilization of digital technology in business activities, limited managerial capacity, and less than optimal regulatory support oriented towards strengthening MSMEs. These conditions cause the competitiveness of MSMEs to be relatively weak compared to the large business sector, so that their contribution to the Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) of Cilegon City is not optimal. This study aims to analyze policy strategies that can support the development of MSMEs in Cilegon City through a descriptive qualitative approach. The method used is a literature study and policy analysis by examining regulations, local government policies, and relevant previous research results. The analysis results show that there are several strategies that can be implemented, including: strengthening regulations and policies that favor MSMEs, expanding access to financing through collaboration with financial and banking institutions, developing human resource capacity through entrepreneurship and business management training, utilizing digital technology to expand market access, and building synergies between local governments, the private sector, and other supporting institutions. The implementation of these strategies is expected to increase the competitiveness of MSMEs, expand marketing networks, and encourage MSMEs to be more adaptive to technological developments and market needs. Thus, MSMEs in Cilegon City can make a more significant contribution to regional economic growth, create new jobs, and support sustainable economic development.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a strategic role in Indonesia’s economy, particularly in the food sector, which focuses on snack products such as chips. However, many MSMEs still face production challenges, especially in the dough mixing process that is commonly carried out manually. This condition results in low efficiency, limited production capacity, and inconsistent dough quality. This study was conducted at Kripik Wulan 008 MSME in Panimbang Jaya Village with the aim of designing and implementing a 50-kg capacity horizontal dough mixer as an appropriate technology solution. The mixer was designed using a 2 HP single-phase electric motor with a 1:30 gearbox ratio and a food-grade stainless steel mixing chamber. Testing results showed that the machine could mix 50 kg of dough in 15–20 minutes, which is significantly faster than the manual method requiring more than 40 minutes. After implementation, daily production capacity increased from 50–75 kg to 75–100 kg, with dough quality becoming more homogeneous and hygienic. In addition, operational training provided workers with improved skills in operating and maintaining the machine. Therefore, the application of this horizontal dough mixer has proven effective in enhancing productivity, efficiency, and the competitiveness of food-sector MSMEs in an increasingly competitive market.

The increase in traffic volume in urban areas often triggers various problems, especially at Road intersection points that have a high level of interaction between vehicles. One of the locations that experience these problems is the intersection with the island of traffic without signal on Jl. Tebu-Jl. Tabrani Ahmad, City Of Pontianak. This study aims to analyze the performance of the intersection in the existing condition and project its performance in the next five years (2030), as well as formulate alternative treatment that can improve the smoothness of traffic. The analysis method refers to Indonesian road capacity guidelines (PKJI) 2023 and modeling using software PTV VISSIM. The data collected include intersection geometry, traffic volume, and vehicle speed. Traffic volumes were obtained through CCTV recordings for three consecutive days, then processed and presented in the form of tables and graphs for easy interpretation. The results of the existing condition analysis showed that the degree of saturation (DS) reached 0.407 with an average delay of 9.539 seconds (Level of Service/LOS B) based on PKJI, while VISSIM simulation resulted in a delay of 12.54 seconds (LOS B). The five-year projection (2030) shows an increase in DS to 0.878 with a delay of 15.177 seconds (LOS C) from PKJI, and 23.35 seconds (LOS C) from VISSIM, which indicates a decrease in Junction performance as traffic grows. Two handling alternatives were analyzed, namely the construction of roundabouts and the implementation of traffic flow management. VISSIM simulation shows that the roundabout can reduce the delay to 14.31 seconds with a queue length of 20.34 m (LOS B), while the flow management produces a delay of 11.81 seconds with a queue of 13.14 m (LOS B). This result confirms that both alternatives are able to improve the performance of the intersection compared to the projected condition without handling, so that it can be a technical recommendation for urban traffic planning in Pontianak.

Distribution is an important aspect that affects the operational efficiency of a company, especially in terms of goods delivery. This study aims to develop an optimization model for LPG gas distribution routes using Excel Solver based on geographic coordinate conversion. In this study, the method used includes converting geographic coordinates from decimal to Degree-Minute-Second (DMS) format, followed by conversion to kilometers to form a more accurate distance matrix. The optimization model was built using the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP) approach, which takes into account vehicle capacity constraints (a maximum of 560 cylinders per truck) and the limited number of available fleets, which is only one truck. The results show that coordinate conversion produces high accuracy in calculating distances between distribution locations. By using Excel Solver, the optimization solution successfully minimizes the total distance traveled compared to the conventional route, where distribution is carried out more evenly to 57 scattered LPG base locations. The addition of Solver Parameters Evolutionary and All Different constraints proved effective in avoiding duplication of visits and producing optimal distribution routes. This solution not only improves distribution time and cost efficiency, but also improves service to customers by reducing delivery delays. The success of this optimization model is expected to be implemented by other distribution companies to improve their operational performance. This study also highlights the importance of selecting the right software to aid the distribution optimization process. Excel Solver, despite its simplicity, proved highly effective in solving complex distribution routing problems, especially when combined with coordinate conversion techniques that yield more accurate distances. Furthermore, the application of the CVRP method enabled more efficient decision-making in determining distribution routes, taking into account vehicle capacity and fleet limitations.

Floods are one of the most common natural disasters and have a significant impact on the social, economic, and environmental aspects of society. This is particularly evident in the community of East Sorong District. East Sorong District is one of the areas frequently affected by floods, and this inevitably leads to numerous risks and consequences. There are several causes of flooding in the Sorong Timur District, including extreme rainfall, inadequate drainage systems due to trash blockages, uncontrolled land use changes resulting in overpopulation, and the loss of forest areas or green spaces that could function as water absorption zones. Additionally, the lack of flood control systems and weak oversight of development in flood-prone areas can exacerbate flood disaster risks. This study aims to analyze and measure the resilience of the Sorong Timur District in facing flood disasters through an evaluation approach focusing on infrastructure, service facilities, socio-economic factors, community capacity and preparedness, and institutional aspects. It was concluded that the infrastructure variable is still moderate, while the socio-economic variable, basic capacity, and community preparedness, as well as institutional capacity, are still low. Meanwhile, service facilities are also low. Overall, it can be concluded that the resilience of the Sorong Timur district in facing hydrometeorological disasters is weak.

This study aims to analyze and find the inhibiting factors faced by North Lampung Police investigators in handling domestic violence (KDRT) cases. The research approaches used are normative juridical and empirical juridical The normative juridical approach is carried out by examining laws and regulations related to the handling of domestic violence, such as Law Number 23 of 2004 concerning the Elimination of Domestic Violence. Meanwhile, an empirical juridical approach is carried out through the collection of primary data from interviews with investigators, prosecutors, academics, and non-governmental organizations active in handling domestic violence. Secondary data is obtained from legal literature, official documents, and applicable regulations. The results of the study show that there are several significant obstacles in the process of investigating domestic violence cases. These obstacles include the lack of sensitivity of investigators to the psychological condition of the victim, social pressure and stigma towards the victim that makes reporting low, and limited public understanding of forms of domestic violence, especially non-physical ones such as psychological and economic violence. Internal obstacles also arise from the limitations of supporting facilities such as victim-friendly examination rooms, psychological assistants, and special training for investigators in handling gender-based cases. From the juridical side, the lack of a clear rule regarding the limits of penal mediation in domestic violence cases creates legal uncertainty and opens up space for perpetrators to escape criminal snares through peace that is often impure. In addition, the patriarchal culture that is still strong in society is a structural obstacle in the law enforcement process that favors victims, especially women. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the capacity of investigators through continuous training, the provision of victim-friendly support facilities, widespread legal socialization to the community, and the reformulation of legal policies that are more firm and in favor of victims. Thus, law enforcement of domestic violence cases can be carried out more effectively, fairly, and oriented towards the protection of human rights.

The study concludes that strategic human resource development contributes significantly to institutional competitiveness and educational quality. It recommends sustained investment in teacher capacity building and structured HR planning to support long-term performance improvement.

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease (NCD) with a high prevalence in Indonesia and is a major cause of serious complications, such as stroke, kidney failure, and heart disease. The high incidence of hypertension makes this disease a primary focus of NCD control efforts at the primary healthcare level. The Ulee Kareng Community Health Center has implemented a sustainable hypertension control program for the past three years with the aim of reducing the incidence of complications and improving patients' quality of life. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the hypertension control program using a logic model framework that encompasses five aspects: input, process, output, outcome, and impact. The research method used is descriptive analytic with a mixed methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data to obtain a comprehensive overview of program implementation. The results indicate that the hypertension control program at the Ulee Kareng Community Health Center has had a positive impact. In terms of output and outcome, there has been an increase in patient compliance with therapy prescribed by healthcare professionals, a decrease in blood pressure in the majority of patients, and a decrease in the number of hypertension-related complications. This indicates that the program is quite effective in achieving its intended goals. However, several challenges remain. The main problems lie in the suboptimal data recording system and the suboptimal delivery of health education. To improve the program's effectiveness in the future, recommendations include strengthening the monitoring and evaluation system, increasing the capacity of health workers and cadres through training, and developing innovative media and educational strategies to make information more easily understood and applied by the public.

Karang Taruna is a youth organization that plays a strategic role in developing the social and economic capacity of rural communities. However, local potential is often underutilized due to limited entrepreneurial knowledge, managerial skills, and access to mentoring. This community service program aimed to assist the Karang Taruna of Kedungturi Village, Taman Subdistrict, Sidoarjo, in fostering an entrepreneurial spirit based on the village’s local resources. The implementation method applied a participatory approach that directly involved youth through several stages: village potential mapping, entrepreneurship training, business mentoring, and facilitation of digital marketing access. The mentoring process provided not only theoretical knowledge but also practical experience in developing business ideas that correspond to local resource characteristics.The results of the program indicated an increased understanding among Karang Taruna members regarding entrepreneurship concepts, business management strategies, and the use of digital technology. Furthermore, the program successfully initiated three new business ventures based on local potential, namely traditional culinary products, waste-based handicrafts, and digital services. The establishment of a youth entrepreneurship team under Karang Taruna further strengthened collective commitment to developing the village’s creative economy. The impacts were not limited to improved skills but also included the growing awareness of the importance of local resource–based economic independence.In conclusion, this program demonstrates that participatory mentoring through Karang Taruna can serve as an effective strategy to strengthen the entrepreneurial spirit of rural youth while promoting local economic independence and sustainability.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of Interpretation of Financial Accounting Standards (ISAK) 335 in the financial reporting of LP Ma’arif SMKS NU Pace Nganjuk as a non-profit entity. As an educational institution under a foundation, SMKS NU Pace is required to prepare financial statements that are transparent and accountable in accordance with applicable standards for non-profit entities. The research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation of existing financial reports. The findings indicate that the school has prepared reports such as BOS and BPOPP fund reports, as well as annual reports submitted to the foundation. However, the implementation of ISAK 335 remains basic and lacks detailed presentation. Key elements such as the classification of restricted and unrestricted net assets and disclosures in the Notes to Financial Statements (CALK) have not been fully understood or applied. The main obstacle is the limited technical understanding of ISAK 335 and the absence of specific accounting training for financial managers. It can be concluded that the implementation of ISAK 335 at LP Ma’arif SMKS NU Pace is still in its early stages and not yet optimal. Improving human resource capacity and establishing more standardized recording systems are essential.

Agreements are an important instrument in everyday life, both in the social and economic spheres. In practice, agreements are not always made in written form, but are often made orally. This phenomenon raises legal questions about whether oral agreements have valid legal force and can be used as a basis for dispute resolution. This study aims to analyze the legal status of oral agreements from the perspective of Indonesian civil law by referring to Article 1320 of the Civil Code (KUHPerdata), which regulates the requirements for a valid agreement. The research method used is normative juridical with an approach to relevant laws and legal doctrines. The results of the study indicate that oral agreements remain legally valid as long as they meet the four requirements for a valid agreement: agreement of the parties, capacity to enter into an agreement, the existence of a specific object, and a lawful cause. However, the main problem arising from oral agreements is the difficulty in proving them when disputes arise, given the lack of written evidence that can be used as a basis before the law. Therefore, although civil law does not require a written form for the validity of an agreement, writing an agreement is still recommended to provide legal certainty, facilitate proof, and protect the interests of the parties. This finding underscores the importance of public legal awareness in choosing a form of agreement that is safer and has stronger evidentiary force.

This research was conducted with the aim of optimizing the assignment of working hours in the Procurement Division of PT. Pelindo Multi Terminal through the application of the Hungarian method. The fundamental problem faced is the imbalance between the number of permanent workers and the high workload that must be completed, thus creating a risk of inefficiency in the operational process. To address this problem, a quantitative approach was used with linear programming modeling techniques designed to produce a more systematic and measurable assignment allocation. Through the analysis conducted, an optimal solution was obtained regarding the distribution of working hours, where the total working time can be reduced to 10,120 minutes per month, lower than the previously set maximum limit of 10,560 minutes per month. These results indicate that the application of the Hungarian method is not only able to reduce excessive workloads on some employees, but also ensures a more proportional distribution of assignments among all available workers. In addition, this method can increase operational effectiveness because each worker receives a load according to their capacity, so that the risk of fatigue or decreased performance can be minimized. The findings of this study confirm that the Hungarian method is an alternative work scheduling strategy that is efficient to be applied in industrial environments with high task complexity. Proper implementation can also support the achievement of overall company productivity, improve the quality of human resource management, and strengthen the company's competitiveness in facing future operational challenges.

This study analyzes the impact of implementing Indonesia’s Law No. 27 of 2022 on Personal Data Protection (PDP Law) on cybersecurity in the e-business sector. Using a normative qualitative approach through literature analysis, this research examines the regulation’s implications for technical infrastructure, compliance procedures, and human resource capacity development within e-business operations. The findings indicate that although the PDP Law provides a comprehensive legal framework and human-centered principles for personal data protection, its implementation faces technical, operational, and economic challenges, particularly for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). These challenges include limited security infrastructure, lack of technical expertise, and high investment costs. Nevertheless, adopting strategies such as multi-layer security architecture, zero-trust security model, privacy by design, and strengthening human resource capacity can enhance consumer trust, industry credibility, and the global competitiveness of Indonesia’s e-business sector. This study contributes to the literature by bridging the gap between personal data protection regulation and cybersecurity practices while offering strategic recommendations for both business actors and regulators.
