With 65 million entities, micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) form the backbone of the Indonesian economy, contributing around 61% of the country's gross domestic product (GDP) and employing 97% of the working population. Despite their strategic role, most MSMEs still face various challenges, such as low adaptability to changes in the business environment, lack of planning strategies, minimal innovation, and limitations in utilizing technology. On the other hand, current consumer behavior increasingly demands quality products and practical services, including in terms of payment systems. Along with the development of the digital era, non-cash payment systems, such as e-money and QR codes, have experienced rapid growth and become important elements in encouraging financial inclusion and transaction efficiency. QRIS (Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard) is present as an innovative solution that allows MSMEs to make transactions quickly, safely, and easily by simply scanning a QR code. Realizing the importance of utilizing this technology, the community service (PkM) team conducted training activities on the creation and use of QRIS for the "Zea Ice" Orange Juice micro business actor in Deltasari Indah, Sidoarjo, East Java. This activity includes QR code creation, printing, and attaching barcodes to kiosks, as well as technical education related to their use. This initiative is expected to increase transaction efficiency, encourage the implementation of digitalization, and increase the competitiveness of MSMEs in an increasingly competitive market.

This study aims to describe the implementation of kapalo samek embroidery training in Nagari Simpuruik as an effort to promote economic empowerment and preserve local culture. Based on interviews with village officials and women participating in the training, it was found that most participants had already acquired embroidery skills through self-taught methods prior to the training. They were accustomed to working on embroidery either based on custom orders or in cooperation with "fabric bosses" who provided pre-designed cloth and threads. Embroidery has become a productive activity in Jorong Sijangek, mainly practiced by housewives. Although the training was conducted smoothly, the main challenge was gathering participants due to their limited availability. The market potential for kapalo samek embroidery is significant, especially during cultural or ceremonial events, but a major obstacle lies in marketing capabilities, particularly in digital platforms. Therefore, the training also served as a medium to introduce basic marketing strategies for craft products. In addition to enhancing economic capacity, the activity encourages cultural preservation by regenerating embroidery skills among the younger generation. This embroidery training highlights the importance of local initiatives in safeguarding cultural heritage and improving community welfare.

Integrasi Disaster Management Information Systems (DMIS) di pemerintah daerah Indonesia telah menjadi langkah penting untuk meningkatkan efisiensi, transparansi, dan pengambilan keputusan berbasis data dalam sektor manajemen bencana. Namun, keberlanjutan jangka panjang dari implementasi DMIS masih menjadi tantangan, terutama terkait dengan kapasitas manajerial, kesiapan infrastruktur, dan budaya organisasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi faktor-faktor keberlanjutan yang memengaruhi adopsi DMIS serta memberikan wawasan strategis untuk peningkatan berkelanjutan. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan mixed methods dan desain eksplanatori sekuensial, data kuantitatif dikumpulkan melalui survei yang melibatkan 72 responden, termasuk pejabat daerah, staf administrasi, petugas teknis, dan pihak terkait lainnya dari instansi pemerintah yang dipilih. Temuan kuantitatif dilengkapi dengan wawancara kualitatif mendalam untuk menangkap perspektif kontekstual dan mengidentifikasi tantangan operasional. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa komitmen manajerial, kompetensi digital staf, dan koordinasi antarbagian memiliki pengaruh terkuat terhadap keberlanjutan DMIS, sementara keterbatasan infrastruktur dan ketidakonsistenan penegakan kebijakan tetap menjadi hambatan signifikan. Temuan lebih lanjut mengindikasikan bahwa pemerintah daerah dengan kepemimpinan proaktif dan perencanaan terintegrasi mencapai tingkat pemanfaatan sistem dan akurasi data yang lebih tinggi. Penelitian ini berkontribusi pada pengembangan kerangka kerja yang lebih holistik untuk menjaga keberlanjutan DMIS di sektor manajemen bencana dengan menekankan keterkaitan antara faktor teknis, manajerial, dan kultural. Secara praktis, hasil penelitian dapat menjadi masukan bagi pembuat kebijakan, administrator daerah, dan pengembang TI dalam menyempurnakan strategi, mengalokasikan sumber daya, serta merancang program pelatihan yang terarah. Studi ini juga menyoroti perlunya kebijakan adaptif agar DMIS tetap relevan dan fungsional di tengah perubahan teknologi maupun kelembagaan.
