ENHANCING BUILDERS’ UNDERSTANDING OF REINFORCEMENT ERRORS AND HOW THEY AFFECT EARTHQUAKE DAMAGE IN PANDEGLANG REGENCY, BANTEN
No full textThere is still a chance that new faults, like the Baribis Fault, will be discovered near Banten because Indonesia is situated in the Pacific Ring of Fire, which has hundreds of active faults in different land and sea locations. Synergy between central, provincial, and district stakeholders is therefore required. The primary causes of structural damage during natural disasters are subpar building materials and techniques that do not adhere to Indonesian National Standard construction norms. Construction worker is the primary driver of construction implementation. Construction workers' ignorance and incapacity to comprehend the building process will lead to low-quality buildings. Knowledge and comprehension of earthquake-resistant structure construction by construction workers is especially crucial in seismically. Construction workers' abilities can be enhanced with the use of training programs on earthquake-resistant building construction. Given their direct relationship to seismicity, the focus here is on reinforcement techniques including anchor placement and reinforcement spacing, among others. The result of training showed an increase in the competence of construction workers in building reinforcing and upper structures has increased by 52.5%. This is a significant improvement

No full textThis community service project investigates how middle school students at Al Haraki Islamic School in Depok might improve their computational thinking (CT) skills by incorporating Scratch-based animation into introductory programming. The community service program was carried out in phases, which included planning, conducting workshops, assessing participants, and concluding the program. Through interactive animation projects, students learned about pattern recognition, abstraction, algorithmic design, and problem decomposition. Data from the pre- and post-tests demonstrate a notable improvement in CT skills: algorithmic design rose from 58.4 to 82.1, issue decomposition from 61.2 to 79.5, pattern identification from 64.8 to 81.0, and abstraction from 59.7 to 77.3. During workshop sessions, the progressive learning process was reinforced. The average skill level increased from 2.0 at the beginning to 4.86 by the end, with abstraction demonstrating the most gain (+3.3). Surveys of feedback also showed significant motivation (mean = 4.5) and engagement (mean = 4.3) on a 5-point scale, demonstrating that Scratch-based animation promoted creativity and group learning in addition to enhancing cognitive abilities. Student confidence and the necessity of consistent teacher support to guarantee program sustainability were brought to light during reflection sessions. Overall, this strategy worked well to connect middle school students' abstract CT concepts with interesting, actual-life situations

WASTE BANKS AS A TRIPLE-IMPACT SOLUTION: CLEANLINESS, ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY, AND ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT IN THE INDONESIAN DIASPORA OF PENANG
No full textThis community engagement program aimed to increase awareness and capacity among the Indonesian diaspora in Penang, Malaysia, regarding responsible waste management through the establishment of a Waste Bank. The program responded to issues of low public awareness, improper waste disposal behavior, and a lack of understanding of the economic potential of waste. Training, consultation, and mentoring sessions were conducted for members of the Indonesian Community Association (PERMAI) Penang, focusing on the concept, benefits, and practical steps of setting up a Waste Bank. The results revealed that prior to the training, most participants had limited knowledge of Waste Banks and their role in addressing cleanliness, environmental sustainability, and economic improvement. However, after participating in the sessions, participants demonstrated increased knowledge, positive attitudes, and strong enthusiasm to establish a Waste Bank in their local environment. The initiative proved that participatory education and continuous mentoring are effective strategies in transforming waste-related behaviors and fostering economic empowerment within migrant communities. It is expected that the knowledge gained will not only benefit the community in Penang but also be applied in Indonesia upon the participants’ return
EMPOWERING INDONESIAN MIGRANT WORKERS IN MALAYSIA: ENHANCING ENTREPRENEURIAL INTEREST THROUGH COMMUNITY-BASED DEVELOPMENT
No full textThis community service initiative aims to empower former Indonesian migrant workers (TKI) in Malaysia by fostering entrepreneurial interest and self-sufficiency through structured community-based development. The program was conducted through a three-phase approach: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. Activities included training modules on entrepreneurship, hands-on practice, and continuous mentoring tailored to the participants’ backgrounds and needs. A total of 33 micro-business actors participated in the program, engaging in interactive sessions designed to build entrepreneurial skills and confidence. The results indicate that participants developed a more proactive entrepreneurial mindset and were able to relate their overseas work experience as social capital for future ventures. Furthermore, the program facilitated knowledge transfer, built a core group for community outreach, and encouraged sustainable business growth. To enhance long-term impact, further training is recommended in areas such as digital marketing, financial management, and product development. This initiative demonstrates that targeted empowerment programs can significantly contribute to the economic reintegration of migrant workers in their communities
LEVERAGING CONCEPT TECHNOLOGY IN MEDICAL APPLICATIONS FOR ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE
No full textThe number of Alzheimer's disease (AD) cases is expected to double every two decades, and the need for effective diagnostic tools has become increasingly urgent to address this growing healthcare challenge. The hippocampus and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) play a pivotal role in diagnosing AD. It could demonstrate utility in differentiating AD. Deep learning-based approaches to produce digital health technologies may offer valuable advantages to dementia researchers and clinicians as screening tools and diagnostic aids. The study aims to design a user interface (UI) for medical imaging apps to present the complexity of medical data and the critical nature of accurate interpretation. We found that our proposed model showed the best performance with more than 0.90 accuracy. From three views, axial view showed the highest performance, but coronal in MCI class showed the lower performance. However, the concept of interface design needs to consider the consistency, layout, and color of the design. We conclude that the detection performance is understandable to interpret the medical complexity region of MRI images. These result could be benefit for the medical apps, in order to create the interface design leveraging the deep learning models
LESSONS TRANSLATED: CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONS AS KNOWLEDGE BROKERS IN GLOBAL PLASTIC TREATY NEGOTIATIONS
No full textPlastic pollution has become a defining global environmental challenge, leading the UNDP to mandate the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC) to negotiate for a legally binding instrument. However, after six rounds of negotiations between 2022 and 2025, the process concluded without consensus or an adopted treaty, reflecting deep political cleavages. On one side, the High Ambition Coalition (HAC), comprising Global South states heavily impacted by plastic waste and Global North states with strong environmental standards, pushed for a comprehensive and stringent agreement. On the other side, oil-producer states and major plastic-producing countries resisted binding provisions on production and trade, favouring a business-as-usual approach. Within this contested landscape, civil society organizations (CSOs) played a pivotal role not only as advocates but also as knowledge brokers. This study examines how CSOs brokered knowledge during INC negotiations through informal arenas such as side-events and technical workshops, where they translated complex treaty language, reframed plastics as issues of justice and human rights, and reinforced HAC positions. Beyond negotiation halls, CSOs extended their brokerage through digital activism, transforming lessons from these arenas into webinars, infographics, and social media campaigns that disseminated knowledge globally. The analysis highlights how digital technologies amplify CSO brokerage, bridging global governance with community mobilization
EMPOWERING COMMUNITIES THROUGH AI AND DATA SCIENCE IN WEST JAKARTA AS PART OF JAKARTA’S INCLUSIVE DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
No full textThis paper presents a community service initiative focused on digital empowerment through the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data Science to Support Pembinaan Kesejahteraan Keluarga (PKK) Programs in Kembangan District, West Jakarta. As part of Jakarta’s effort to become a resilient, inclusive, and globally competitive smart city, the program delivered a series of interactive workshops covering AI for community data analysis, digital productivity tools, data visualization, cybersecurity based on ISO 27005, and inclusive digital marketing. Using a Community-Based Participatory Action Research (CBPAR) approach, the team co-designed six contextual training modules aligned with real PKK needs and delivered them over two days in February 2025. Evaluation results showed significant gains in digital an increase of 57 % points in digital literacy, improved reporting practices, the launch of a real-time dashboard, and enhanced cybersecurity awareness among PKK administrators. The initiative also led to the creation of digital business accounts by PKK units, showing spill-over effects on micro-enterprise development. The findings demonstrate how grassroots AI interventions can directly contribute to Jakarta’s inclusive digital transformation goals and serve as a scalable model for urban community empowerment
FROM CLICKS TO COMMITMENT: LEVERAGING DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN VOLUNTEERS FOR SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES
No full textVolunteers play a vital role in building sustainable communities by supporting social services, environmental projects, and crisis response. However, since the pandemic many countries have seen a decline in volunteering, even though the number of vulnerable groups in need of support is increasing. This paper explores how digital technologies can help both to attract new volunteers and to retain them over time, ensuring their continued contribution to community development. Drawing on recent policy reports and academic studies (2015–2025), we review how digital tools are being used across the volunteer journey, from recruitment and onboarding to engagement, retention, and leadership. We introduce a Volunteer Retention Model, based on Self-Determination Theory (SDT), which shows how technology can support volunteers by meeting their needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness. While digital tools make volunteering more accessible and flexible, challenges such as digital divides, fragmented platforms, and narrow measures of success limit their long-term impact. The paper highlights practical strategies and under-researched areas, including hybrid volunteering models, inclusive design, and ethical use of AI, offering guidance for organisations to build more resilient and sustainable communities through long-lasting volunteer engagement
