Advances in information technology increasingly require communities to adapt to digital communication tools, particularly email, which functions as a key digital identity for account registration, information exchange, and online transactions. Despite its importance, digital literacy remains limited among the general public, especially rural housewives, many of whom lack awareness of the need for email accounts, have limited operational skills, and are vulnerable to cyber risks such as phishing and data theft. To address this issue, a workshop entitled “Fundamentals of Using Gmail and Account Security” was conducted for the PKK women’s group in Jompo Kulon Village to improve basic digital skills and promote safe online practices. The program aimed to introduce the functions and benefits of email, assist participants in independently creating Gmail accounts, provide knowledge on securing accounts through two-factor authentication, and train participants to send and receive emails. The workshop was delivered through an interactive face-to-face approach combining short presentations and hands-on practice using participants’ mobile devices. Initial sessions explained email as a digital identity, followed by guided account creation and security setup. The final session focused on practicing email communication to reinforce understanding. The results showed high participant engagement, with most participants successfully creating Gmail accounts, understanding essential digital security concepts, and demonstrating basic email usage skills. Overall, the activity increased awareness of personal data protection and is expected to serve as an initial step in strengthening digital literacy among women, enabling them to better adapt to ongoing technological developments.

This study aims to find out the process of Family Card (KK) administration services and identify the obstacles faced in its implementation at the Ngaglik Village Office, Serengat District, Blitar Regency. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and documentation. The research subjects consisted of village staff and communities who had managed KK, who were selected by purposive sampling. Data analysis is carried out through three main stages, namely data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. The results of the study show that the administrative services of the family at the Ngaglik Village Office have been running quite optimally. This is shown by the existence of clear service procedures, good officer responsiveness, and the implementation of a digital system in the administrative process. However, there are still several obstacles that hinder the effectiveness of services, including the lack of initial information received by the applicant, the slow response of communication through digital media, and the limitation of supporting facilities such as technology devices and adequate service spaces. These findings show the need to increase service capacity through strengthening information systems, officer training, and providing more representative support facilities. This research is expected to be an input for the village government in developing administrative services that are more efficient, transparent, and responsive to the needs of the community.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Village Information System (SID) in Pematang Gajah Village based on Article 86 of Law No. 6 of 2014 concerning Villages, as well as identify inhibiting and supporting factors in its implementation. Pematang Gajah Village has been developing the Village Website since 2022 as a form of SID implementation. This research uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that even though SID has been equipped with hardware, software, and networks, access to information to the public has not been optimal due to uneven socialization. In addition, SID does not contain data on the development of villages and rural areas, and has not been supported by planning information from local governments. The main inhibiting factors include limited understanding of the community and village apparatus towards technology, incomplete socialization, and unstable internet networks. On the other hand, the existence of village websites, budget allocation, and the availability of technological devices are significant supporting factors. The commitment of village officials in gradually increasing the use of SID is also an important capital in system sustainability. This study recommends increasing human resource capacity, equitable distribution of socialization, and strengthening infrastructure support as strategic steps in optimizing SID at the village level.

 A workshop addressing the hazards of gadget usage in early infancy was conducted as community service at Posyandu ILP Kelinci, Keradenan Village, Banyuwangi Regency, East Java.  This initiative aimed to enhance parents' awareness and understanding of the significance of gadget usage while equipping them with practical skills to assist their children in utilizing gadgets securely and constructively.  The utilization of devices in early childhood can pose risks if not well monitored and restricted.  This workshop activity must be undertaken to inform parents about the potential effects of devices on children.  This program aims to educate parents and children about the advantages and dangers of gadget usage, along with strategies for prudent management.  This workshop activity employs a hybrid approach, integrating lecture and question-and-answer techniques.  Activity evaluation occurs both throughout the process and upon completion, concentrating on factors such as the attainment of objectives and the arrangement of activities.  The method and results were evaluated through documentation.  The assessment of the components of activity organization was conducted by observation.  The success metrics for the execution of the workshop on the Dangers of Using Gadgets in Early Childhood employ two methodologies: (1) evaluation during the activity process, and (2) post-evaluation of workshop activities.

This study examines the perceptions of the Pucangadi Village community towards the educational children's program "SiBobo" broadcast by TVRI Central Java. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews with fifteen informants selected purposively. Informants consisted of parents, teachers, and local residents who have views regarding the program. The purpose of this study was to explore the extent to which the program "SiBobo" is accepted and has a positive impact on the development of children in the community. The results showed that the program "SiBobo" is considered an entertaining and educational learning medium by the majority of informants. This program successfully conveys moral and social messages relevant to children's lives, such as the values ​​of togetherness, social awareness, and the importance of protecting the environment. This program is also considered able to attract children's attention in a fun way, making them interested in learning while playing. In addition, the content presented in this program can increase children's knowledge about local culture and wisdom, which is expected to increase their love for Indonesian culture. However, despite "SiBobo"'s high educational value, the presence of gadgets and children's preference for digital content, such as YouTube videos and game apps, often divert their attention from public television. Children are more interested in shows they can access anytime through their devices. This suggests that while television shows like "SiBobo" still play a significant role, competition from digital media presents a significant challenge. This study emphasizes the importance of revitalizing children's programming based on local values ​​and the need for more adaptive communication strategies to optimally convey educational messages.

Rainwater is often considered to have a negative impact on the survival of fish fry, mainly due to its slightly acidic pH. However, this study aims to investigate the effect of rainwater on the survival rate of comet fish fry (Carassius auratus). The research was conducted at the Bossbaster experimental pond, Legok Nyenang Village, Kadudampit District, Sukabumi Regency, over a period of three days. The fish fry used were one day old after hatching, with a size of approximately 5 mm. The study utilized 15 containers with a water volume of 10 liters per gallon and 15 aeration devices to maintain water circulation. Five treatments were tested: A (100% rainwater), B (75% rainwater), C (50% rainwater), D (25% rainwater), and E (0% rainwater). The research design followed a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications for each treatment. The data were analyzed using the Median Test and Regression Test to maximize the obtained results. The results showed that rainwater did not significantly affect the survival rate of comet fish fry. The survival rate of the fry in all treatments ranged from 98.33% to 99.17%. This indicates that although rainwater has a lower pH, it does not significantly affect the survival of comet fish fry. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the rainwater taken from the research site did not negatively impact the survival rate of comet fish fry. The quality of the rainwater used in this study is safe and can be used as a medium for raising fish fry without causing a decrease in their survival rate. This study provides valuable information on the use of rainwater in fish farming, especially for comet fish fry.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of digital KTP services in Kelong Village, Bintan Pesisir District, Bintan Regency. This service is part of the government's efforts to digitize population administration, which is expected to improve the efficiency and quality of public services at the village level. The approach used in this study is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The theory used for analysis is the policy implementation theory of Van Horn and Van Meter, which involves six main indicators. The results show that the digital KTP service in Kelong Village has been implemented since 2022 and provides convenience for the community, especially in terms of service speed and the friendly attitude of village officials. The community feels that obtaining their KTPs is faster than the previous manual procedure. Furthermore, village officials demonstrated a friendly and helpful attitude during the service process, enhancing the community's positive experience. However, this study also identified several challenges in implementing digital ID card services, such as a lack of public awareness regarding the procedures and benefits of digital ID cards. Limited technological devices and unstable internet connections also hampered smooth service delivery. Furthermore, low levels of digital literacy in the community made it difficult for some to access the service effectively.

The literacy expert team from ADPERTISI plays a role in designing and implementing multilingual-based training programs and approaches that are sensitive to local culture. This program has succeeded in significantly increasing people's digital literacy, with 60% of participants able to utilize technology for MSME development and 40% of participants successfully accessing public services independently through digital platforms. The "Techno-Linguistic Integration" model applied has proven to be effective in overcoming language barriers in the digital technology adoption process. The integration of local languages with digital devices creates an inclusive and relevant learning environment for rural communities. The results show that a holistic and contextual approach to strengthening language literacy and digitalization can empower communities in a sustainable manner, strengthen local capacity, and encourage digital transformation at the grassroots level. These findings make an important contribution to the development of technology-based community empowerment strategies and local culture in the digital era.

The coffee farming sector in Gunungmanik Village, Indonesia, plays a significant role in the local economy. However, the monitoring and management of coffee crops remain largely manual and conventional, making it difficult for farmers to respond quickly to environmental threats such as drought, pests, or sudden temperature shifts. This research presents the development of iotgm.id, a web-based monitoring system integrated with Internet of Things (IoT) devices designed to provide real-time environmental data for coffee plantations. The system measures key parameters including temperature, soil moisture, and motion detection (as a proxy for pest activity), and delivers this data via a user-friendly web interface. It also features digital farm record management, real-time alerts for abnormal conditions, and data visualization through interactive dashboards. Field testing with local farmers showed that the system improves decision-making, speeds up responses to environmental changes, and reduces the need for direct field visits. Unlike earlier systems that often required technical expertise or focused on single parameters, this system offers multi-parameter monitoring and is accessible to farmers without advanced digital literacy. The system bridges the gap between sophisticated agricultural technologies and practical field-level application. It contributes to the adoption of precision agriculture in rural areas, offering a scalable model for broader implementation in similar contexts

DAGUSIBU is one of the efforts to improve public health that is organized through health service activities by pharmaceutical workers. Health services that can provide community pharmaceutical workers include providing information on the use and storage of pharmaceutical preparations and medical devices. The public needs to know the importance of drug management from when they get a prescription to when they throw it away if it is not needed. So that the impact of community errors cannot be prevented. The lack of public curiosity about this is very dangerous. They should not underestimate the procedures for drug management. Starting from when they first get a prescription from a doctor, to how to dispose of it if it can no longer be used. In fact, if we make a slight mistake in managing drugs, it will have fatal consequences for consumers of the drug. The results of the Dagusibu Drug Management counseling (Get, Use, Store, Throw Away) in Bingkat, Serdang Bedagai Regency can provide insight and education on drug management from when they get a prescription to when they throw it away if it is not needed. So that the impact of mistakes made by the Bingkat village community cannot be prevented. Participants can apply the knowledge they have gained in their family and community environments.
