This community service program focuses on enhancing digital literacy, documenting cultural traditions, and developing integrated promotional media through the EthnoGring platform in Tlemang Cultural Tourism Village, Lamongan. The activities were conducted in collaboration with the local tourism group, Pokdarwis “Bukit Inggil,” through stages of needs assessment, digital literacy training, cultural content production and curation, platform development, and monitoring and evaluation. The results indicate that digitalization strengthens community capacity to manage tourism promotion while simultaneously safeguarding cultural heritage in the face of modernization. Cultural outputs such as documentaries, photographs of traditional rituals, interview transcripts with cultural figures, and an e-book on the Nyanggring tradition serve not only as promotional tools but also as efforts to conserve collective community knowledge. The integration of these outputs into the EthnoGring platform, equipped with public service and tourism information features, highlights the strategic role of digital innovation in supporting sustainable tourism village development. Early impacts include broader exposure of Tlemang’s cultural heritage, the emergence of local economic initiatives, and the establishment of a more adaptive community organization. Although challenges remain, particularly in digital infrastructure, collective engagement and institutional support serve as key foundations for sustainability. Therefore, EthnoGring contributes not only to cultural preservation but also to strengthening the social, economic, and institutional dimensions of sustainable tourism.

Lemang Tanjung Sirih mudah mengalami kerusakan akibat mikroba sehingga hanya mampu bertahan selama satu hari pada suhu ruang. Penggunaan kemasan aktif adalah salah satu upaya untuk menambah waktu simpan Lemang. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana pengaruh pemakaian kemasan aktif silika gel terhadap kadar air dan jumlah bakteri pada Lemang. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah dengan merekatkan silika gel pada ujung bambu lemang dengan berat 1 gram, 3 gram dan 5 gram, kemudian disimpan pada suhu ruang selama 3, 5 dan 7 hari. Lemang yang disimpan kemudian dihitung kadar air dan jumlah mikroba. Data kemudian dianalisis dengan RAFL ( Rancangan Acak Lengkap Faktorial ) dan dilakukan uji lanjut BNT (Beda Nyata Terkecil). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan penggunaan silika gel selama penyimpanan, berpengaruh sangat nyata terhadap kadar air dan jumlah bakteri. Kadar air perlakuan silika gel 0 gram mengalami peningkatan, sedangkan perlakuan silka gel 1,3 dan 5 gram mengalami penurunan. Jumlah bakteri yang melebihi batas maksimum adalah pada perlakuan silika gel 0 gram adalah pada hari ke-3, sedangkan perlakuan silika gel 1, 3 dan 5 gram pada hari ke-5 penyimpanan. Sehingga berdasarkan hasil tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa penggunaan silika gel dapat menurunkan kadar air dan memperpanjang waktu simpan Lemang.
