Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) of the Forest Farmer Group (KTH) Permata have traditionally marketed local products such as instant ginger herbal drink, instant turmeric herbal drink, instant temulawak, and forest honey using conventional methods, resulting in limited market reach and suboptimal income. Marketing through social media platforms such as Facebook and WhatsApp has not been fully optimized due to limited understanding of digital marketing management, particularly the use of websites as official marketing media. This community service activity aimed to provide training and mentoring for MSMEs KTH Permata members on the utilization of Google Sites as a digital marketing medium. The methods included observation to identify existing conditions and problems, discussions with partners to formulate solutions, documentation, implementation of Google Sites management training, and evaluation through questionnaires to measure improvements in participants’ skills. The results showed that the training and mentoring activities improved participants’ understanding and skills, with 80% of members successfully creating and publishing Google Sites websites independently, while 70% were able to manage and update product content on a sustainable basis. The outputs of this activity included the availability of an official marketing website for MSMEs KTH Permata featuring business profiles, product catalogs, and contact information, which contributed to expanding market reach and increasing product visibility. In conclusion, limited knowledge and skills were the main barriers to digital marketing adoption; however, the training and mentoring proved effective in strengthening MSME capacity to utilize Google Sites as a digital marketing tool.

Usaha Mikro, Kecil, dan Menengah (UMKM) sering menghadapi tantangan dalam menjaga pencatatan keuangan yang terstruktur, yang mengakibatkan terbatasnya pengendalian keuangan. Program ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kapasitas manajemen keuangan UMKM melalui implementasi Sistem Informasi Akuntansi (SIA) berbasis pendampingan yang disesuaikan dengan karakteristik bisnis di Kota Magelang, Indonesia. Program ini melibatkan 31 UMKM dari sektor kuliner, ritel, kelontong, jasa, dan aksesoris. Pendekatan pendampingan partisipatif berbasis bantuan berorientasi tindakan diterapkan, yang terdiri dari penilaian awal praktik pencatatan keuangan, identifikasi masalah pembukuan dan pengendalian internal, implementasi pembukuan digital secara bertahap, dan penguatan manajemen data berbasis cloud dan praktik pengendalian internal. Sebelum intervensi, sebagian besar UMKM bergantung pada pencatatan manual atau semi-manual yang terfragmentasi, tidak real-time, dan rentan terhadap kesalahan dan kehilangan data. Setelah pendampingan, mitra UMKM menunjukkan peningkatan kemampuan dalam memelihara catatan transaksi yang lebih terstruktur, memantau persediaan dan arus kas secara lebih sistematis, dan menyiapkan laporan keuangan sederhana untuk mendukung evaluasi bisnis. Program ini memfasilitasi pergeseran dari pencatatan administratif menuju pemanfaatan informasi keuangan untuk pengambilan keputusan operasional dan manajerial. Studi ini memberikan kontribusi berupa model pendampingan AIS yang kontekstual dan adaptif yang dirancang untuk usaha kecil dengan beragam tingkat literasi akuntansi, menyoroti bahwa adopsi AIS yang berkelanjutan di UMKM bergantung pada bantuan partisipatif, kesesuaian sistem, dan transformasi manajerial bertahap.

The purpose of this study was to explore the main aspects of coffee agroforestry restoration and agrotourism development. This study was conducted in Secang, Kalipuro Village in Banyuwangi Regency. This study shows that the restoration of degraded coffee agroforestry can be achieved by involving various potential local flora species found in the agroecosystems on the slopes of Mount Ijen. Two coffee species, Coffea canephora and Coffea liberica, require rejuvenation and population increase in coffee agro-ecosystems. Species with economic value, including Durian, Avocado, and Mangosteen, are two species desired by the community as part of coffee agroforestry restoration. Restored coffee plantations have the potential to become agro-tourism attractions by considering several aspects, including: (1) the authenticity of the structure and composition of the plantation, (2) the richness of flora and fauna as a resource and interpretation program, (3) connected with the local community, and basic tourism resources (i.e., accommodation, facilities).

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Waste management in elementary schools remains a challenge, especially in schools that lack a structured waste management system. Initial conditions at SDN 3 Tumbang Tahai, Palangka Raya City, showed that waste had not been separated into organic and inorganic waste and was still managed by burning within the school premises. This community service activity aimed to improve organic waste management through an educational approach, infrastructure provision, application of appropriate technology, and integration into the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5). Implementation methods included waste management outreach, teacher training in designing P5 projects, implementation of organic waste shredding machines, and mentoring and evaluation of program implementation. The results of the activity showed changes in waste management practices in schools, marked by the establishment of a waste sorting system, increased student understanding of waste types and processing, and the development of practices for processing organic waste into compost. Furthermore, teachers began integrating waste management into project-based learning, making learning more contextual. Conceptually, this activity resulted in a zero-waste school waste management model through the P5 project, which integrates environmental learning, waste processing technology support, and strengthening school program management.

The purpose of this community service activity was to increase togetherness through painting activities on wood using environmentally friendly materials. The implementation method used the ABCD (Asset-Based Community Development) method. The results of the implementation of 40 participants who attended, succeeded in making and completing their painting activities very well. Indicators of success were examined from the science of fine arts, namely the aesthetic aspect involving the placement of visual objects, composition, and color selection. Participants learned the selection of visual objects of flora and fauna that would be implemented on wood media, participants learned the practice of creating color harmony so that their aesthetic abilities also increased. The main impact for partners is that families can increase togetherness, intimacy, be more open between members, and can increasingly improve their painting skills which can be used to improve the family's economy.
