The AKU HATINYA PKK Program serves as a community empowerment strategy through the utilization of household yards based on urban farming practices. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the AKU HATINYA PKK Program based on urban farming in Limapuluh District, Pekanbaru City, identify its impacts on family food security, community welfare, and environmental sustainability, and describe an empowerment model that can be replicated in other urban areas. The method employed consisted of planning, preparation, implementation, evaluation, and monitoring stages involving the AKU HATINYA PKK KARISMA Group in Rintis Village during April–June 2026. The results indicate that the program successfully optimized household yards through the cultivation of 49 commodity types, including food crops, family medicinal plants (TOGA), fruit crops, native chicken farming, and catfish cultivation. The implementation of urban farming using an integrated farming system contributed to improved family food security, increased household income, enhanced environmental quality, and strengthened community participation as well as the capacity of PKK cadres. Evaluation results revealed that the program was effectively implemented and achieved positive outcomes in administration, innovation, yard utilization, and environmental management. Therefore, the urban farming-based empowerment model through the AKU HATINYA PKK Program can serve as an alternative strategy for sustainable urban community development.

Perencanaan Partisipatif Taman Lembur Mangrove Patikang Sebagai Peningkatan Fasilitas Pariwisata Lokal

Abdullah Hibrawan — 2026-08-28

The development of tourism villages plays a crucial role in fostering the community's creative economy, expanding local business opportunities, and creating new jobs. Lembur Mangrove Patikang in Citeureup Village, Pandeglang Regency, Banten, is one such tourism village that holds potential but has not yet succeeded. A survey conducted by the architecture study program team at Pradita University—aimed at assessing existing conditions, identifying needs to enhance tourism value, and gathering residents' aspirations—revealed two primary issues: a lack of proper planning for tourism village facilities and insufficient community awareness of environmental preservation. To generate a design while raising awareness, the tourism village planning process employed a community-based participatory approach, with students assisting under the guidance of architecture lecturers. The design process focused on layout, visitor behavior analysis, material selection, and ergonomic studies to determine appropriate facility dimensions for visitor comfort. This participatory planning process resulted in a design for the Lembur Mangrove Patikang Park, featuring a reception area, a meeting point, an information center, rest areas, and culinary tourism spots, while also serving as a hub for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (UMKM). The village authorities subsequently utilized this design for the construction phase, funded by local government grants.

Umi Fitriyati — 2026-08-28

Dampit Village, Malang Regency, is one of the major coffee-producing centers that generates a large amount of coffee waste in the form of residual coffee grounds, which has not been optimally utilized. At the same time, the growing green beauty trend among Generation Z presents an opportunity to transform organic waste into economically valuable cosmetic products.

Evaluation was conducted through pretest and posttest assessments covering five main indicators: understanding the benefits of coffee grounds, hygienic principles, scrub formulation techniques, green beauty and upcycling concepts, and comprehension of standard operating procedures (SOPs) for coffee scrub production. The effectiveness of the program was analyzed using the N-Gain test. The results showed a significant improvement across all indicators, with an N-Gain value of 0.733, classified as high. This activity not only enhanced participants’ knowledge and skills but also encouraged socio-cultural attitude changes toward waste utilization and opened opportunities for sustainable, local resource–based business development. The program has the potential to serve as a model for community empowerment based on a circular economy in coffee-producing regions.

Dhiu Margaretha — 2026-08-28

Low self-regulated learning (SRL) among junior high school students often poses a significant barrier to achieving independent learning success. This community service activity aims to test and strengthen students' SRL skills through the implementation of a modified educational Snakes and Ladders game. The execution method utilized a One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design involving 28 students from SMPN 10 Kupang as participants. SRL data were collected before and after the intervention using a structured questionnaire measuring planning, monitoring, and evaluation aspects, and subsequently analyzed using the paired sample t-test via SPSS. Statistical test results indicated a statistically significant increase in students' SRL skills (), with the mean score rising from 63.96 (pretest) to 65.93 (posttest) and the minimum score increasing from 45 to 60. Although the actual mean improvement was relatively limited due to the brief duration of the activity, the educational Snakes and Ladders game proved effective in reducing learning anxiety and stimulating students' self-regulation awareness, particularly in the planning and monitoring aspects.

Kajian Kualitas Air Tanah sebagai Upaya Peningkatan Air Bersih di Negeri Assilulu, Kabupaten Maluku Tengah

Ervina Rumpakwakra — 2026-08-28

A community service initiative was conducted in Assilulu Village, Central Maluku Regency, aimed at assessing the quality of groundwater used by the local community through physical and chemical parameter testing. Residents rely on groundwater from dug wells and springs as their primary sources for drinking and sanitation, often without knowledge of its quality or safety. Key challenges include potential contamination from seawater intrusion and domestic activities, alongside low public awareness regarding the importance of periodic water quality testing. Consequently, a targeted program involving active partner participation was implemented, comprising public outreach, water sampling, groundwater level (GWL) analysis, laboratory testing, and training on the use of simple water quality testing tools. Physical parameters analyzed included temperature, odor, and total dissolved solids (TDS), while chemical parameters included pH, salinity, CN, PO₄³⁻, SO₄²⁻, K⁺, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Na⁺, Cl⁻, and Mn. Test results were evaluated against drinking water quality standards set by the Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number 2 of 2023. The study revealed that most groundwater sources in Assilulu Village met drinking water quality standards; however, elevated levels of TDS, Na⁺, and Cl⁻ were observed at Location 1, Location 5, and an old well, indicating seawater intrusion. The initiative resulted in increased community knowledge regarding clean water management and the availability of physical and chemical data; furthermore, partners gained proficiency in using portable water testing equipment, enabling them to continuously monitor the quality of the water they use.

Sienny Anggotioso — 2026-08-28

The massive development of financial technology (fintech) provides easy access to transactions for the younger generation, but on the other hand, it has the potential to trigger consumptive behavior and the risk of digital debt if not balanced with adequate financial literacy. This Community Service (PKM) activity aims to improve financial literacy understanding and control the consumptive behavior of grade X students at SMK Kristen Petra Surabaya as a preventive strategy for debt avoidance. The methods used in this program include interactive counseling using PowerPoint presentation media, simulations of financial management and Time Value of Money (TVM) calculations based on Microsoft Excel, and the implementation of gamification methods through financial literacy quartet card games. The results of the activity involving 34 students showed a significant increase in the partner's awareness and qualitative capacity. Students were actively engaged in two-way discussion sessions, capable of identifying scale priorities between needs and wants, and showed indications of behavioral changes in the form of initiating daily expenditure recording and saving. The implication of this activity is the availability of interactive learning modules and educational quartet cards handed over to the school as a tool for sustainable independent financial education.

Efektvitas Penerapan Teknik Relaksasi Otot Progresif Dalam Membantu Menurunkan Insomnia di Kelurahan Lepasan Kecamatan Bakumpai

Agus Heriyani — 2026-08-28

Insomnia is not classified as a disease, but rather a symptom of an underlying condition or a result of problems experienced by a person in daily activities. Insomnia also hinders the body's recovery process, causing rapid fatigue and excessive drowsiness during the day. In addition, sleep disorders can cause decreased thinking and working speed, weakened memory, reduced productivity, and participation in social activities can also decrease. One technique often used is Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) or gradual muscle relaxation. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the application of progressive muscle relaxation techniques in helping to reduce insomnia in Lepasan Village, Bakumpai District. The implementation of the education and training program on progressive muscle relaxation took place on May 18, 2026, involving 35 residents of Lepasan Village, Bakumpai District. The activity began with an observation of the participants' insomnia levels using the Insomnia Rating Scale questionnaire. It was followed by an opening ceremony and an explanation of the purpose and intent of this activity. This program consists of two main parts: 1) a 10-minute presentation on insomnia, and 2) a 15-25-minute progressive muscle relaxation training session. The teaching methods used include lectures and discussions. The media used was a booklet containing information about insomnia and a progressive muscle relaxation movement guide for participants. The results showed a decrease in insomnia levels for 7 days after the progressive muscle relaxation intervention was implemented. The final results showed that 25 respondents did not experience insomnia, 7 respondents experienced mild insomnia, and 3 respondents experienced severe insomnia.

Oral and Dental Health: A Mentoring Program for Oral Hygiene Care Among Students of Bina Jaya Senior High School, Kertapati Palembang

Sulistiawati Sulistiawati — 2026-08-29

Oral and dental health problems remain a significant public health issue among adolescents, particularly those from lower–middle socioeconomic backgrounds. SMA Bina Jaya Kertapati Palembang, as the partner of this community service program, faces two major challenges: low oral health literacy and limited access to attractive and accessible educational media. This community service initiative by Sriwijaya University developed an interactive, media-based educational approach designed to increase students’ understanding of proper dental and oral care. The program included the production of a 5–6-minute animated educational video titled “Sehat Gigi dan Mulut”, which delivered essential materials on dental anatomy, correct toothbrushing techniques, recommended brushing times, and the negative impacts of poor oral hygiene. Implementation involved classroom-based video sessions, guided discussions, hands-on toothbrushing simulations, and mentoring. The activity involved 31 second-grade students of SMA Bina Jaya Kertapati and received active participation throughout the educational sessions. Students engaged in guided discussions, raised relevant questions regarding oral and dental health, and participated in supervised toothbrushing practice. Observations during the practical session indicated that students were able to follow the recommended toothbrushing steps after facilitator guidance. These immediate responses reflect positive engagement and practical understanding of oral hygiene rather than quantitatively measured changes in knowledge or behavior. This program supports the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-being), contributes to higher education performance indicators (IKU), and aligns with the Impactful Dikti-Saintek agenda. The findings strengthen the evidence that interactive digital media combined with practical demonstration is an effective strategy for improving adolescent oral health literacy.

Edukasi Risiko Trading Sebagai Strategi Peningkatan Literasi Keuangan: Studi Pada Calon Nasabah Di Perusahaan Perdagangan Berjangka

Styven Arlian Valentino — 2026-08-30

The expansion of financial technology has made futures trading platforms increasingly accessible to the public. Nevertheless, easy access is not always accompanied by adequate understanding of market volatility, leverage, margin calls, and psychological bias. This gap increases the possibility that prospective customers will make speculative decisions that emphasize potential returns while overlooking possible losses. This community service program aimed to strengthen the financial literacy of prospective customers of PT Glori Investama Berjangka Surabaya and to examine transparent risk education as an ethical education-based marketing strategy. The program was delivered through workshops, interactive discussions, market simulations, and personal mentoring. Evaluation relied on initial observation, participant responses during simulations, discussion notes, and reflective assessment after the educational sessions. Quantitative pre-test and post-test scores are not reported because the underlying score sheets were not available for verification. Qualitative findings indicate that participants developed a more realistic understanding of market volatility, leverage risk, stop-loss discipline, proportional position sizing, and emotional control. Participants' questions also shifted from a primary focus on potential profit toward risk limits and the consequences of trading decisions. Transparent risk communication supported a more balanced perception of futures trading and strengthened trust in the company. These findings indicate that trading risk education can function as consumer protection and as a professional, ethical, and sustainable relationship-marketing strategy.

The results of the activity showed that the implementation of Microsoft Excel based on inter-sheet links can improve the efficiency of the local government financial report review process. This was evidenced by faster data recapitulation speed, lower input error rates, and better data consistency between financial reports. This activity also improves employee understanding and skills on how information technology can help manage financial data more efficiently and accurately. Therefore, the use of Microsoft Excel based on inter-sheet links can help the process of reviewing local government financial reports more efficiently, clearly, and accountably. By using more optimal information technology, this activity is expected to help improve regional financial governance.

Ai Sutini — 2026-08-31

This community service activity aims to implement a mindfulness-based Panji Mask Dance learning model as a preventive and curative effort to improve students' concentration and emotional regulation at the Nurul Qolbi Foundation, MDTU Ar Rohman Palimanan, Cirebon Regency. The background to this activity is the increasing mental health problems and decreased student concentration post-pandemic due to digital distractions and psychosocial stress, where approximately 40-45% of students experience difficulty maintaining learning focus for more than 15-20 minutes. The approach used is Participatory Action Research (PAR) which integrates the traditional art of the Panji Mask Dance with Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) techniques adapted to the madrasah context. The activity was carried out through an "Olah Rasa Panji" workshop that included conscious breathing exercises, meditative movements, and the use of simple biofeedback sensors to monitor students' heart rates in real time. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in learning concentration indicators and students' emotional regulation abilities after participating in the program for eight sessions. In addition, this program successfully revitalized the Panji Mask Dance as an instrument for character education based on local wisdom. In conclusion, the integration of mindfulness in traditional arts learning has proven effective as an innovative solution to the adolescent mental health crisis, and has the potential to become a replicable model for other educational institutions.

Edukasi Investasi Pasar Modal bagi Siswa Sekolah Menengah Atas Melalui Pengabdian Masyarakat

Michael Sebastian Hamson — 2026-08-31

The level of participation of young people in capital market investment in Indonesia continues to increase, but this condition is not fully balanced by an adequate understanding of investment instruments, investor risk profiles, and the basis for investment decision-making. This gap between investment interest and financial literacy levels has the potential to increase the risk of errors in investment activities. Therefore, capital market investment education activities were carried out at SMK Kristen Petra Surabaya through Community Service activities that combined material delivery, investor risk profile tests, capital market analysis demonstrations, and interactive discussions. The materials provided covered basic investment concepts, an introduction to investment instruments, investor risk profiles, fundamental analysis, and technical analysis. The results of the activities showed an increase in participants' understanding of capital market investment concepts, investment instrument characteristics, investor risk profiles, and the basis for analysis in investment decision-making. Participants' enthusiasm and participation also increased, particularly during the practical sessions on reading stock charts and interactive discussions. These activities demonstrated that a learning approach that integrates theory and practice directly can improve capital market investment literacy among the younger generation and provide a more applicable understanding of wise and measured investment activities.
