Penguatan Literasi Digital melalui Sosialisasi dan Pengembangan Platform Pengaduan Cyberbullying di SMP Negeri 9 Denpasar
The widespread use of social media among junior high school students has heightened exposure to cyberbullying and weakened awareness of responsible digital behavior. This community service program was designed to strengthen digital literacy and establish an accessible reporting channel at SMP Negeri 9 Denpasar. Program activities included exploratory needs-assessment interviews, interactive socialization sessions, website development, and a post-session evaluation using a 25-item digital quiz. A total of 34 students participated, with 33 valid responses retained for analysis. Quiz results yielded a mean accuracy score of 72.23%, with individual scores ranging from 36% to 96%. The majority of participants (63%) scored above 70%, reflecting a satisfactory level of conceptual understanding, although situational and ethics-based questions proved considerably more challenging. The developed website serves as an educational repository and a WhatsApp-based reporting channel for cyberbullying cases. Long-term monitoring remains necessary to assess the platform's sustained effectiveness in supporting students' digital literacy development.

Optimalisasi Peran Mahasiswa dalam Pengajaran Al-Qur'an Berbasis Metode Qiro'ati di TPQ MI Roudlotul Islamiyah Wonoayu Sidoarjo
This community service activity aims to optimize the role of students in teaching the Qur'an based on the Qiro'ati method at TPQ MI Roudlotul Islamiyah, Wonoayu, Sidoarjo, through the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach. The activity was conducted on February 14, 2026, involving direct participation of students from Universitas Sunan Giri Surabaya as teaching assistants. To address the declining enthusiasm observed among students, several interactive strategies were introduced, including question-and-answer evaluations, icebreakers, and reward-based quizzes, without altering the established Qiro'ati learning system. These strategies proved effective in reviving students' interest and active participation during lessons. In addition, the routine practice of tadarrus Al-Qur'an before class and the Majelis Mu'allimil Qur'an (MMQ) program served as key mechanisms for maintaining teachers' recitation quality and pedagogical competence. The findings suggest that combining the Qiro'ati method with varied interactive techniques can significantly enhance the learning atmosphere and student engagement in Qur'anic education at the elementary level.

Strategi Inovatif Pemasaran Digital Berbasis Media Sosial untuk Peningkatan Omset Warkop Gasskeun
This community service project aims to transform the conventional marketing model of Warkop Gasskeun, an MSME in the culinary sector, through systematic digital marketing strategies to enhance visibility and sales revenue. The primary problem identified was the lack of digital asset utilization and the absence of customer data analysis, which kept market reach confined to a narrow geographical radius. The methodology followed a System Development Life Cycle approach, covering market requirement analysis, content architecture design, digital platform implementation (Instagram, TikTok, and Google Business Profile), and performance evaluation based on digital metrics. Key innovations included: (1) Local SEO to improve location indexing on search engines; (2) Business Insights features as a practical Business Intelligence instrument to read audience behavior and demographic preferences; and (3) consistent product information across all digital platforms. Outcomes showed measurable growth in audience interaction and content reach, which directly corresponded with increased physical customer visits and a stronger digital customer database for future promotional decisions. The findings confirm that social media technology, when managed through an information systems approach, can build a real competitive edge for MSMEs in today's digital economy.

Kegiatan Pelestarian Sungai Afvoer Kemambang untuk Meningkatkan Rasa Tanggung Jawab Masyarakat terhadap Lingkungan di Waru Sidoarjo
The Afvoer Kemambang River Cleanup program aims to analyze the implementation of river conservation programs as a strategy to increase community responsibility for environmental sustainability in Waru District, Sidoarjo. The river previously experienced blockages due to garbage accumulation and the growth of water hyacinth, indicating low public awareness of environmental cleanliness. This activity involved residents in concrete actions that improved the river ecosystem while providing a positive example for the wider community. The Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach was applied to involve the community from planning, coordination, and implementation of the activity. The activity began with a general briefing and division of tasks, followed by cleaning the river flow and removing garbage from the riverbanks. The results showed increased environmental awareness, social solidarity, and a sense of responsibility from residents towards nature conservation. It is recommended to expand this program to other areas with greater participant involvement and government support to ensure sustainable river conservation. Community participation has been proven to improve river conditions and foster a culture of sustainable environmental care, making this program a replicable model for community empowerment in other regions.

Website Sistem Pakar Deteksi Risiko Kesehatan Mahasiswa Berdasarkan Pola Tidur dan Aktivitas Harian Menggunakan Certainty Factor dengan Studi Kasus di STIE BPKP
Student health directly affects the quality of learning and academic achievement. When sleep patterns and daily routines become irregular, students face a higher probability of developing health-related problems. To address this issue, a web-based expert system was designed and developed to detect student health risks based on sleep patterns and daily activities, applying the Certainty Factor (CF) method, with a case study conducted at STIE BPKP. The Certainty Factor method was used to quantify the degree of confidence in a particular health risk by combining symptom data selected by users with certainty weights assigned by domain experts. The system was built as a web application featuring three core functions: symptom data input, diagnostic processing, and output presentation in the form of health risk levels along with actionable recommendations. Functional testing was carried out to verify that each module operated correctly and that diagnostic outputs aligned with the expected Certainty Factor calculations. Findings from this study confirm that the expert system successfully assists students in assessing their health risk levels in a fast and accessible manner. Beyond individual use, the system also serves as a supporting instrument for academic institutions seeking to strengthen health awareness programs among their student population. As a result, this expert system holds practical value as an early-warning tool for student health risk detection.

Analisis Informasi Usaha melalui Google Maps dan Dampaknya terhadap Sistem Pencatatan Keuangan UMKM di Desa Aek Kota Batu
This study analyzes the use of Google Maps as a business information platform and its impact on the financial record-keeping systems of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Aek Kota Batu Village. The study is grounded in MSME assistance activities conducted during the Community Service Program (Kuliah Kerja Nyata), which revealed increased business visibility through digital information, yet limited improvement in financial recording practices. The research aims to examine how Google Maps influences business information accessibility and its implications for MSMEs' financial record-keeping systems. A qualitative case study approach was employed through field observations, interviews with MSME owners, and documentation conducted during the KKN program. The findings indicate that Google Maps enhances customer reach and transaction intensity, which indirectly encourages MSMEs to begin implementing financial record-keeping practices, although these remain simple and unstandardized. The study offers empirical insights into the relationship between location-based business digitalization and the strengthening of MSMEs' financial management at the village level.

Penguatan Gotong Royong Sebagai Wujud Pengabdian Membangun Kebersamaan di Tengah Masyarakat
Community service is a form of sustainable empowerment aimed at improving quality of life and strengthening the collective character of society. One of the core cultural values underlying this activity is gotong royong (mutual cooperation), which has long served as a social identity of the Indonesian nation. However, modernization and the rise of individualism have led to a decline in the practice of gotong royong in social life. Therefore, this community service program seeks to revitalize the spirit of gotong royong by involving students and community members in environmental cleanliness activities. The method applied is Participatory Action Research (PAR), which includes observation, participatory discussions, environmental clean-up actions, and joint evaluation. The results indicate an increased level of public awareness regarding the importance of environmental cleanliness, the emergence of active community participation, and the establishment of effective collaboration among students, local residents, and the government as a facilitating institution. In addition to creating a cleaner, more organized, and healthier environment, this activity also strengthens values of togetherness, social care, and collective responsibility as social capital in preventing environmental problems such as flooding. This community service initiative not only contributes to physical environmental improvement but also plays a significant role in fostering sustainable ecological behavior and revitalizing the value of gotong royong within society.

Pemberdayaan Ekonomi Nelayan Melalui Budidaya Tiram Terpadu di Desa Kartika Jaya
Kartika Jaya Village, Patebon Subdistrict, Kendal Regency, has significant oyster aquaculture potential, yet the cultivation practices remain traditional and unstructured. This community service program aimed to enhance technical skills in oyster farming and strengthen the fishermen’s institution through organizational structuring and formal legalization. Training focused on integrated farming techniques, water quality management, as well as business management and digital marketing. Evaluation results showed participants’ understanding increased across all training aspects, with average pre-test to post-test scores improving by 25–40%. Legalization via a Village Government Decree provided access to government assistance and expanded market reach. The program demonstrates that combining technical training with institutional strengthening is an effective strategy to enhance productivity, fishermen’s welfare, and sustainable coastal economic development.

Pendampingan Pengembangan Desa Wisata Menuju Legalisasi Berbasis Pentahelix di Kabupaten Karawang
The community engagement program for developing tourism villages in Karawang Regency aimed to strengthen local capacity in the legalization process through a participatory pentahelix approach. This framework integrates collaboration among academics, local government, entrepreneurs, communities, and the media to establish an adaptive and sustainable governance system. The study employed a qualitative descriptive method with a participatory model emphasizing experiential learning. The program involved 33 participants from eleven partner villages, covering stages of socialization, thematic training, technical assistance, and evaluation. The results revealed an 85% increase in participants’ understanding of tourism village legalization standards, nine villages successfully drafted preliminary tourism village profiles aligned with the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy’s indicators, and multi-stakeholder collaboration strengthened the institutional process. These findings indicate that the pentahelix approach not only enhances administrative readiness but also reinforces the role of local communities as primary agents of community-based tourism. Despite its success, the short duration and wide coverage remain constraints, suggesting the need for extended assistance and digital capacity development. The program is expected to accelerate tourism village legalization in Karawang and serve as a replicable model for sustainable local tourism development.

Penerapan GAP dan Tumpang Sari Cabai–Nilam untuk Rehabilitasi Lahan Marginal dan Peningkatan Produktivitas di Desa Lambadeuk, Aceh Besar
This community service program was conducted in Lambadeuk Village, Peukan Bada District, Aceh Besar Regency, aiming to enhance the productivity of marginal land through the application of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and a chili–patchouli intercropping system. The area is dominated by Entisol soils characterized by low fertility, compact structure, and limited water availability. Two farmer groups were selected as partners based on their land ownership, activeness, and commitment to participate throughout the program. The activities included socialization, technical training, field practice, and continuous mentoring. The training materials covered liquid organic fertilizer preparation, mycorrhiza application, integrated pest management, and intercropping techniques. Results indicated noticeable improvement in soil physical properties following organic fertilizer and mycorrhiza application. The soil became looser in texture, darker in color, and visibly richer in organic matter. The patchouli plant survival rate reached 62.5%, and no significant pest attacks were recorded. Active participation of farmers in all stages demonstrated an increase in technical knowledge and practical skills related to sustainable farming. These findings suggest that integrating GAP with organic and biological soil amendments can serve as an effective approach to revitalize marginal lands and strengthen farmers’ capacity toward a more resilient and productive agricultural system.

Eco-Friendly Concept Training for MSMEs in Tanjung Rejo Mangrove Tourism Village, Deli Serdang
Climate change, environmental degradation, and ecosystem destruction demand the adoption of eco-friendly practices in economic activities. Beyond environmental benefits, such practices enhance economic competitiveness, particularly for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Tanjung Rejo Mangrove Tourism Village in Medan Belawan exemplifies the integration of sustainable tourism with mangrove ecosystem conservation and local economic empowerment through homestays, tour guides, and environmentally-based products. This study evaluates the effectiveness of eco-friendly training for 30 local MSMEs using participatory methods with pre-test and post-test instruments. Results indicate significant improvements across ten indicators (25%-56%), notably in production waste management (56%) and consumer awareness of eco-friendly products (45%). The training successfully catalyzed behavioral transformation toward sustainable business practices, yielding dual impacts on ecosystem preservation and MSME economic competitiveness. Findings demonstrate that structured capacity-building programs can drive collective environmental awareness while strengthening local economies. Recommendations include developing advanced training modules, fostering multi-sector collaboration, and establishing incentive systems for MSMEs consistently implementing eco-friendly practices.
