Public services are one of the essential functions of village-level government as they are directly related to the needs of the community. However, in Pontap Village, Palopo City, service processes are still carried out manually, which often leads to obstacles such as service delays, difficulties in record-keeping, and limited access to information for residents. This study aims to design and develop a web-based public service information system to improve the efficiency and quality of services at the village office. The system was developed using the Waterfall method, which consists of requirement analysis, system design, implementation, testing, and maintenance stages. The system was built using the PHP programming language with the Laravel framework and utilizes MySQL as the database which is managed using HeidiSQL. System modeling was carried out using use case diagrams and activity diagrams, while testing was conducted using the black-box testing approach to ensure that all functions operate according to specifications. The resulting system provides community complaint services, administrative letter services, and information on health service schedules such as posyandu and puskesmas activities. It is expected that this system will facilitate residents in accessing information, accelerate service processes, and improve data accuracy through an integrated digital platform. This research is expected to serve as a solution to support the digitalization of public services in Pontap Village and to become a reference for the development of similar systems in other regions.

The Sehat Indonesiaku (ASIK) Application is a key policy instrument of Indonesia's Ministry of Health designed to improve community health data management, particularly toddler data in Integrated Service Posts (Posyandu). However, implementation at the village level continues to face operational challenges. This study analyzes the implementation of the ASIK program in managing toddler data at Posyandu in Kebonsari Village, Sidoarjo Regency, using George C. Edward III's policy implementation framework. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation from purposively selected informants comprising Posyandu cadres, public health center midwives, and village officials. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña (2014). Findings reveal that ASIK implementation has not been optimal due to constraints across all four Edward III variables: uneven program socialization (communication), limited digital literacy and inadequate device-network infrastructure (resources), dual manual-digital recording workloads (disposition), and over-reliance on core cadres (bureaucratic structure). Nonetheless, adaptive responses including continuous training, structured task delegation, and village government support have been established. This study highlights that the success of ASIK implementation fundamentally depends on human resource readiness, effective policy communication, and institutional support at the local level.

This community service program aims to strengthen the strategic role of Posyandu (Integrated Health Post) as a center for family health education through the innovation of its educational functions. Previously, Posyandu operations in the community tended to be limited to routine basic health services, such as weight monitoring and nutritional status recording, while the crucial aspect of health education remained suboptimal. This limitation has contributed to a lack of public understanding regarding healthy lifestyles and the prevention of chronic diseases or stunting. The methods implemented in this program included problem identification through observation, health socialization and education, specialized training for Posyandu cadres to enhance their communication capacity, and direct mentoring during activity implementation. The results demonstrated a significant increase in family knowledge regarding balanced nutrition and clean and healthy living behaviors (PHBS). Furthermore, Posyandu cadres became more active and skilled in delivering health information communicatively to the community. This program demonstrates that by strengthening its educational function, Posyandu can transform into an effective and sustainable family health learning center, significantly impacting the improvement of community health standards at the frontline level.

This study discusses the role of the Kupang City Council in carrying out its supervisory function on gender-responsive maternal and child health policies, with a case study focus on Oebobo District. The background of this study stems from the high maternal and child mortality rates and the suboptimal implementation of Kupang City Regulation No. 7 of 2013. This study uses a qualitative approach with interview, observation, and documentation techniques, and involves informants from DPRD members, health workers, posyandu cadres, and community leaders. The results show that the DPRD, particularly through Commission IV, has carried out its supervisory function through regulatory support, budget allocation, program evaluation, and field visits. Some of the programs supervised include Free Nutritious Meals (MBG), strengthening Posyandu, and basic health services at Puskesmas. However, the effectiveness of supervision still faces various obstacles, including the lack of female representation in the DPRD, strong patriarchal culture, lack of socialization of local regulations, weak cross-sector coordination, and low community participation. The conclusion of this study confirms that the success of gender-responsive maternal and child health policies is greatly influenced by the capacity of the DPRD in oversight, political and budgetary support, and community involvement.

Posyandu, as a form of community-based health efforts, plays a crucial role in improving maternal and child health. However, its implementation in the Mutiara Community Health Center (Puskesmas Mutiara) in Asahan Regency still faces various challenges, such as low cadre capacity, suboptimal service quality, and limited community participation. This community service activity aims to strengthen cadre capacity through Posyandu revitalization as an effort to improve the quality of basic health services. A total of 63 Posyandu cadres participated in the activities, which were implemented through counseling, education, and coaching using revised service standard guidelines. This program was implemented through four stages: preparation, implementation, analysis of results, and evaluation. Improvement in cadre knowledge was measured using pretests and posttests. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in the level of knowledge of cadres, as seen in the change in assessment categories from the majority being in the "poor" category during the pretest to "sufficient" and "good" in the posttest. This indicates that the education and coaching provided were effective in improving cadres' understanding and skills. Increasing cadre capacity is expected to improve the quality of Posyandu services, increase public trust, and support efforts to reduce morbidity and mortality in the Mutiara Community Health Center's work area. Cross-sector collaboration and ongoing mentoring are needed to maintain the sustainability of Posyandu revitalization.

Stunting is one of the chronic nutritional problems that remains a serious challenge in Indonesia, particularly in rural areas. This condition not only affects children's physical growth but also their cognitive development and long-term productivity. The low level of public awareness regarding balanced nutrition and proper parenting practices is a major factor contributing to the high prevalence of stunting. Therefore, community empowerment through village forums as a platform for advocacy, education, and cross-sector collaboration is essential. This activity aims to enhance the capacity of village communities to understand, prevent, and address stunting through participatory approaches. The methods applied include training for posyandu cadres, group discussions, and the establishment of village stunting forums involving community leaders, health workers, and local government officials. The results indicate a significant improvement in public knowledge and awareness regarding stunting prevention. The village forum also serves as a coordination center for policy advocacy and the implementation of nutrition programs at the local level. Thus, community empowerment through village forums has proven to be an effective strategy to strengthen community participation and enhance synergy between government, health institutions, and local residents in reducing stunting prevalence at the village level.

The Village health cadres play a vital role in the success of the Posyandu (Integrated Health Service Post) program as the frontline of community-based health services. However, challenges such as limited managerial capacity, insufficient resource support, and lack of continuous mentoring often hinder the effectiveness of the program’s implementation. This article aims to describe the process and outcomes of mentoring village health cadre organizations in improving their program management skills at the Posyandu.

Therefore, a collaborative mentoring model is an effective strategy to strengthen the capacity of village health cadres in managing Posyandu programs at the village level.

Physiotherapy plays an important role in promotive and preventive efforts through education for the community, including children’s health posts (posyandu). Children aged 1–5 years often experience eating difficulties that reduce appetite, increasing the risk of malnutrition and growth retardation. Low appetite is often related to oral-motor function disorders, such as difficulty chewing or swallowing. This activity aimed to increase mothers’ knowledge about oral-motor-sensory stimulation as an effort to improve children’s appetite. The community service program was conducted at Posyandu RW 02, Kota Lama Subdistrict, Malang City, involving 15 mothers or caregivers of toddlers. The method included physiotherapy counseling using interactive discussions and poster media, with knowledge evaluation through pre-test and post-test. The results showed a significant improvement in participants’ knowledge, from 0% in the pre-test to 85% in the post-test. This counseling effectively enhanced mothers’ understanding and practical skills in performing oral-motor-sensory stimulation independently at home. With regular implementation, this stimulation is expected to increase children’s appetite, improve nutritional status, and support optimal growth and development. Moreover, it reinforces the role of physiotherapy in preventing nutritional problems and improving the quality of life of children from an early age.
