Community dues are a form of public participation in supporting social activities and neighborhood development. However, low participation in paying dues remains a common issue in many communities. This study aims to analyze the role of community awareness and the management system of youth organizations in improving the effectiveness of dues collection in Neighborhood 15, Geluran, Sidoarjo. The method used is Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD), with data collected through observation, interviews, and focus group discussions. The results show that increased community awareness, supported by continuous socialization, has positively influenced residents’ perceptions, transforming dues from being seen as a burden into a shared responsibility. In addition, improvements in management systems, including transparent financial recording and regular reporting, have strengthened public trust. The findings also indicate a strong relationship between awareness and management systems, where transparency enhances trust and encourages higher participation. Furthermore, the ABCD approach successfully utilizes local assets such as youth involvement and social solidarity, leading to strengthened community engagement and the emergence of local leadership. Despite these improvements, some residents still show inconsistent participation, indicating the need for continuous efforts to sustain the program. This study highlights the importance of integrating awareness-building and transparent management to achieve sustainable community participation.

For youth, PHBS socialization, anti-bullying, early marriage education, and NAPZA awareness enhanced understanding of healthy behaviors and social issues. Collaboration with Karang Taruna strengthened youth participation and social cohesion.

In this Community Service Program (KKN) activity, the main goal is to strengthen social solidarity among the residents through the celebration of Indonesia’s Independence Day in Penagan Ratu Village. Social solidarity is one of the key factors in maintaining harmony and togetherness within the community. However, in today’s modern era, the spirit of cooperation and mutual assistance tends to decline due to individualism and people’s busy daily routines. Therefore, the Independence Day celebration serves as a strategic moment to revive the sense of brotherhood, unity, and social awareness among the villagers. This program was carried out with the active participation of all community members, including village officials, youth organizations (karang taruna), women’s groups, children, and teenagers. Various activities were conducted such as community clean-up (kerja bakti), traditional games, art performances, and a local MSME (UMKM) bazaar. The implementation method was participatory, emphasizing the active involvement of the community in every stage. The results of the program showed a high level of community participation, stronger social bonds, and an increase in the spirit of mutual cooperation. Moreover, the event brought a positive impact through the empowerment of local MSMEs. Thus, the Independence Day celebration was not merely ceremonial, but also served as an effective medium to strengthen social solidarity, fostering a more cohesive, respectful, and socially aware community in Penagan Ratu Village.
The development of digital technology requires villages to transform not only their governance but also their public awareness of digital opportunities and risks. However, the process of digital transformation cannot be separated from the local socio-cultural context. This Community Service (PKM) activity aims to strengthen local wisdom-based transformational leadership as a strategy for dealing with digital dynamics in Pesanggrahan Village, Kutorejo District, Mojokerto Regency. The implementation methods included a situation analysis, program socialization, digital literacy seminars, discussions on Pancasila values, and mentoring for village officials, community leaders, religious leaders, and Karang Taruna youth.

The community also showed enthusiasm for participating in the development of digital content and technology-based services. This PKM concluded that effective digital transformation requires adaptive, character-based leadership rooted in local cultural values. Collaboration between universities, village governments, and communities is an essential prerequisite for promoting inclusive and sustainable social change.

In conclusion, there was a significant improvement overall after the community service activity, at 56%. The highest level of understanding among participants is the importance of leadership as a driving force for the organization, but to develop an entrepreneurial attitude as a foundation for independence and competitiveness, continuous reinforcement is needed so that Karang members can be prepared as an independent generation.
Waste management remains one of the major challenges in urban areas, including Rungkut Menanggal Subdistrict, Surabaya. Although two active waste banks already exist, community participation and the optimization of social and material assets remain limited. This community empowerment program aims to optimize local potential through the strengthening of social and material assets based on waste bank activities using the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach. This approach emphasizes the utilization of existing community strengths and resources to create sustainable social transformation. The program was carried out through five participatory stages: discover, dream, design, define, and destiny. The results show a significant improvement in the community’s capacity for household waste management. Residents were able to process approximately 100 kg of organic waste into compost and create creative products such as decorative bags made from plastic waste. Moreover, collaboration among local institutions such as Karang Taruna Arkidli, PKK, Posga Venus, Posga Bumi, and KSH increased, strengthening collective action in environmental management. This program demonstrates that the ABCD approach effectively enhances social capital, increases community participation, and generates both economic and environmental benefits. Waste bank management based on local asset empowerment can serve as a model for inclusive and adaptive community development in urban environmental contexts.
Bulu Village, Sugihwaras District, Bojonegoro Regency, is an agricultural village with abundant natural resource potential, including tobacco. However, community agricultural practices still rely heavily on the use of chemical pesticides, which are relatively expensive and carry the risk of negative impacts on human health and environmental sustainability. This situation prompted the implementation of a community service program in the form of training in the manufacture of natural pesticides from jadam sulfur and tobacco leaves using the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach. This approach was chosen because it focuses on exploring and optimizing local assets, both in the form of natural materials and community social skills. The training activities were attended by farmer groups and youth organizations (Karang Taruna), which play a crucial role in the program's sustainability. The training materials included theories on the dangers of chemical pesticides, the advantages of natural pesticides, and hands-on practice in making pesticides from jadam sulfur and tobacco leaves. Evaluation of the activities was carried out through observation, interviews, and the distribution of questionnaires to participants. The evaluation results showed a significant increase in farmers' knowledge about environmentally friendly pesticides, skills in making natural pesticides, and growing awareness of the importance of sustainable agriculture. In addition, the involvement of Karang Taruna strengthens the sustainability of the program through regeneration and ongoing mentoring. Overall, this training demonstrated the effectiveness of the ABCD approach in optimizing local potential to produce more economical, healthy, and environmentally friendly agricultural innovations. Thus, this program not only supports increased agricultural productivity but also contributes to the broader well-being of rural communities.
