Sanrobone Village in Takalar Regency has promising coastal tourism potential, such as mangrove forests, traditional ponds, and local maritime culture. However, this potential has not been optimally managed by the local community. This community service activity aims to increase the capacity of the Tourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis) as a driving force for community-based tourism development. The implementation method includes field observation, destination management training, digital promotional content creation workshops, assistance in preparing integrated tour packages, and activity evaluation. The results of the activity showed an increase in Pokdarwis' understanding and skills in managing tourist destinations, promoting local potential through social media, and preparing attractive local wisdom-based tour packages. In addition, this activity also succeeded in encouraging synergy between Pokdarwis, the village government, and MSME actors in developing village tourism. This community service activity is expected to be a model for sustainable community-based tourism development in other coastal areas, while contributing to achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs) in the tourism sector.

Domestic helpers (DWs) play a vital role in sustaining household life in urban areas, yet their legal position in the Indonesian labour system remains marginal and vulnerable, without adequate legal protection. This research aims to analyse juridically normatively the legal position of domestic workers within the framework of national labour law and identify regulatory gaps and structural barriers that hinder the protection of their basic rights. Using a literature study method and a normative juridical approach, this research examines legislation, legal doctrine, and recent scientific literature. The analysis shows that Law No. 13 Year 2003 does not recognise domestic workers as formal workers, and Permenaker No. 2 Year 2015 is non-binding, creating a legal vacuum that results in vulnerability to exploitation, discrimination, and human rights violations. The absence of special regulations such as the PPRT Bill and the non-ratification of ILO Convention No. 189 exacerbate structural injustice against domestic workers. This research concludes that the legal protection of domestic workers is very weak normatively and practically, so regulative reform is needed through the enactment of special laws and harmonisation of national laws with international human rights standards in order to create a fair, inclusive and social justice-based employment system.

Acute Otitis Media (AOM) is a common middle ear infection in children, particularly in rural areas. This study aims to explore the clinical characteristics of AOM in children treated at rural health centers (puskesmas) and to examine the barriers to effective management. A descriptive qualitative method was employed through a literature review analyzing symptoms, stages, risk factors, and treatment approaches. The findings reveal that AOM in children often begins with an upper respiratory tract infection and presents with sudden ear pain, high fever, sleep disturbances, and ear discharge. Risk factors include young age, poor environmental conditions, and limited access to healthcare services. Management of AOM depends on its clinical stage and requires accurate diagnosis. However, in rural puskesmas, a lack of diagnostic tools and limited public awareness often leads to delayed treatment. Therefore, it is essential to provide health workers with basic ENT training, ensure the availability of diagnostic equipment, and educate parents to enable early detection and prevent complications that could affect a child’s development.

This study conducts an in-depth examination of the structural gaps in mental health policies within conflict-affected countries in the Middle East region, employing a systematic meta-synthesis approach to analyze 87 primary studies published between 2015 and 2024. Findings reveal that only 23.4% of these countries possess mental health policies that can be classified as comprehensive. In comparison, the average budget allocation for this sector accounts for merely 2.1% of total national health expenditures. In terms of affected populations, the prevalence of mental disorders is alarmingly high, recorded at 41.3% among refugees and 37.8% among residents living amidst protracted conflict. Through logistic regression analysis, a highly significant correlational relationship was identified between conflict intensity and the severity of mental disorders (r = 0.78; p < 0.001), underscoring the systemic link between structural violence and collective psychosocial vulnerability. Furthermore, meta-regression successfully identified the five most dominant policy gaps: deficits in service infrastructure (76.5%), shortages of the professional workforce (68.2%), dysfunctions in referral systems (64.7%), limitations in funding (59.3%), and lack of intersectoral service integration (52.8%). This research not only extends the conceptual framework and empirical findings previously advanced by Sihombing et al. (2025) and Akhtar et al. (2021) concerning the mental health impacts of conflict but also innovatively articulates region-specific patterns and identifies contextual moderator variables that influence policy implementation effectiveness. Thus, this study's methodological and conceptual novelty lies in formulating an evaluative framework grounded in empirical evidence, which integratively combines socio-political indicators with clinical mental health parameters, offering a comprehensive approach to assess and reform public policy in conflict-affected areas of the Middle East.

Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) encompassing conditions affecting muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, nerves, and tendons , are a prevalent occupational health issue, particularly in roles involving physical tasks like lifting, pushing, pulling, or carrying loads. This study aims to synthesize current scientific findings on the prevalence, contributing risk factors, and effective prevention strategies for MSDs in manual handling contexts. A systematic literature search was conducted using Google Scholar, focusing on peer-reviewed journal articles published between January 2020 and June 2025. The review identified a consistently high prevalence of MSDs, with the lower back, shoulders, neck, and upper extremities being the most commonly affected areas. Key risk factors are multifactorial, including physical/ergonomic aspects (e.g., awkward postures, heavy loads, repetitive motions, prolonged exposure, vibration) , individual factors (e.g., age, BMI, injury history) , psychosocial factors (e.g., high job demands, low job control, stress) , and organizational/manegerial factors (e.g., inadequate training, poor workstation design). The findings underscore the necessity of a holistic and integrated approach to manage MSDs.

This study examines the working mechanisms of various global satellite navigation systems, such as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou, as well as their integration potential across multiple sectors. The research uses a qualitative descriptive approach through literature review of relevant scientific sources. All satellite navigation systems operate based on the principle of triangulation using radio signals from satellites equipped with high-precision atomic clocks. The procedure includes satellite deployment, signal transmission, distance measurement, and position calculation by receiver devices.The results show that although each system has distinct technical characteristics and strategic orientations, integration between systems—through GNSS, SBAS, radar, and Earth observation technologies—can enhance the accuracy, reliability, and coverage of global navigation services. These systems offer wide-ranging benefits in areas such as transportation navigation, fleet tracking, disaster mitigation, environmental conservation, and military applications. This research emphasizes the importance of understanding the procedures and integration of satellite navigation systems to support cross-sector operational efficiency and strengthen technological resilience in the face of global challenges.

Dental and oral health issues in Indonesia remain a critical concern, with a high prevalence, particularly in dental caries and periodontal diseases. Based on data from Riskesdas 2018 and the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey, more than 50% of the population suffer from caries, with the highest rates found among children and the elderly. This literature review aims to identify the characteristics of oral health problems, risk factors, health and socioeconomic impacts, and the intervention strategies implemented in Indonesia. The study employs a narrative review method by analyzing national publications from 2015 to 2025 that meet inclusion criteria. The findings reveal that the main determinants include low oral health literacy, high sugar consumption patterns, limited access to dental services, and socioeconomic factors such as education and income. The impacts include decreased quality of life, reduced work productivity, and increased burden on the healthcare system. Effective prevention and control strategies involve school- and community-based health promotion, the use of technology such as teledentistry and mobile applications, improvement in basic service access, as well as regulatory policies on sugar consumption and incentives for healthcare personnel in remote areas. Multisector collaboration and continuous research are essential to significantly reduce the burden of oral diseases in Indonesia.

The digital transformation of healthcare services in rural areas necessitates the equitable enhancement of digital literacy among village officials and healthcare workers. This study was conducted in Dayeuhkolot Village, Subang Regency, using a quantitative approach and a comparative experimental design to evaluate the effectiveness of traditional lecture-based training versus hands-on computer tutorial training. A total of 24 purposively selected participants, consisting of village officials and community service agents, were involved. The results indicate that hands-on training is significantly more effective in improving digital understanding and skills, as reflected in higher post-test scores and a narrower range of participant results. Age and educational background were found to be pivotal in shaping digital readiness, with younger and more educated individuals adapting more swiftly to new technologies. These findings underscore the necessity for adaptive and inclusive digital training as a foundational element for the digital transformation of healthcare services in rural communities.

Tempe artisans in Teluk Betung District, Bandar Lampung City play an important role in providing soybean-based food products. However, the marketing of their products is still conducted conventionally, relying on traditional markets and simple promotional methods, which limits market reach and reduces product competitiveness. This community service activity aims to improve the knowledge and skills of tempe artisans in implementing effective marketing strategies, particularly through digital platforms and product packaging development. The methods used included interactive lectures, group discussions, social media simulations, and practical sessions on designing product labels using simple applications. The workshop results showed that most participants successfully created business social media accounts, designed product labels, and understood the importance of attractive packaging in increasing product value. This activity is expected to serve as a stimulus for developing tempe product marketing in Teluk Betung and surrounding areas.

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the Public Internet Program in Tanjungpinang City in supporting digital inclusion. Based on the 2018-2023 Strategic Plan document from the target of 100 points, only 34 public wifi points were realized. The evaluation was carried out using the theory of William N Dunn (2003), using six indicators, namely, effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and accuracy. This research uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation of 12 informants. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of the program has been running but not optimal. This can be seen in the effectiveness indicator where the placement of access points is less strategic, because it is located in upper-class housing which generally already has its own internet access, then the network quality is less stable with the bandwidth provided of 20 Mbps through a scramble system where the ideal standard according to the IT perspective is 2 Mbps per user outside watching YouTube. In the efficiency indicator, from 2013-2023 the realization did not reach the target set at the beginning, then the lack of maintenance resulted in 8 internet points not working. The adequacy indicator has not been said to be optimal in meeting needs through value, opportunity, and method adjustment as evidenced by the fact that there is no national standard as a reference in program implementation and unclear location data collection. In the equity indicator, there is a mismatch in infrastructure facilities, small areas have not been reached, and there is 1 location point that is locked. The responsiveness indicator is good, but there is still low participation from the community. Finally, the accuracy indicator is directed towards the community, but the implementation is not in accordance with the needs, and has not reached the initial target.

Determining the working and operational areas of a fishing port is very important because it strengthens the existence of a fishing port while supporting port operations. The purpose of this study is to determine the working and operational areas of the Untia fishing port based on the ratio of space utilization in land and water areas. The research method used is quantitative descriptive. Secondary data was obtained through literature surveys and institutional surveys to obtain port design plans and spatial planning plans, while primary data was obtained using satellite imagery and verified directly in the field to obtain geographical coordinates. Analysis was conducted on the position of the Untia port in relation to the provincial spatial planning plan, the physical condition, and the operational aspects of the port. The results obtained include the determination of geographical coordinates for the operational areas on land and water used for the construction and operation of main facilities, functional facilities, and supporting facilities for Untia fishing port. Based on the analysis results, the total operational area of the Untia Fisheries Port is determined to be 232.33 hectares, consisting of a land operational area of 9.8 hectares, a water operational area of 92.84 hectares, a land operational area of 23.56 hectares, and a water operational area of 106.13 hectares.

Coastal areas are transitional areas between land and marine ecosystems that are very vulnerable to natural disasters, one of which is abrasion. Coastal abrasion is the process of erosion of coastal areas caused by wave activity, ocean currents, and human activities such as infrastructure development and sand mining. Ciberi Beach (Tanjung Ciberi) located in Enggros Village, Abepura District, Jayapura City, is one of the coastal areas that experiences continuous abrasion. Its strategic location and direct facing the Pacific Ocean makes this area very vulnerable to coastal erosion. Based on the author's experience while conducting Field Work Practices at the Papua River Basin Center (BWS Papua), it is known that abrasion has caused damage to public facilities and significant coastline decline since 2019 (Cepos, 2024). Strong suspicions arose from the community based on the results of interviews conducted that the construction of the Youtefa Bridge contributed to the acceleration of abrasion. Previous research also showed that the rate of abrasion in the Yos Sudarso Bay area, including Ciberi Beach, reached 0.89 meters per year. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the level of damage to Ciberi Beach due to abrasion during the period 2014–2024, and to provide recommendations for handling to reduce the impact of damage in the coastal area.

The mass deportation of Indonesian migrant workers (TKI) from Malaysia is a multidimensional threat to national security, especially in Indonesia's border areas. In 2022–2023, more than 40,000 migrant workers were forcibly repatriated, mostly through North Kalimantan and Riau. Malaysia's strict immigration policies such as Operation Nyah and the implementation of online recruitment procedures accelerate the deportation process and increase migrant workers' vulnerability to exploitation. This journal examines the impact of these deportations on local socio-economic stability, increased cross-border crime, and institutional weaknesses in the management of migrant worker repatriation and reintegration. Using a policy study approach and analysis of deportation data, the paper highlights the need for integrated and responsive security policies and strengthened bilateral Indonesia–Malaysia coordination. Recommendations focus on institutional capacity building, protection of migrant workers' rights, and a human security approach in dealing with the challenges of forced migration.  

This community service activity aims to enhance the technical capacity and participation of residents in designing and constructing streetlight poles in Ciramahilir Village, Purwakarta Regency.
