ENHANCING CONSTRUCTION WORKERS’ AWARENESS OF OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH (K3) THROUGH COMMUNITY SERVICE IN PANDEGLANG, BANTEN
No full textIndonesia's construction sector still records many work accidents, many of which are caused by low awareness and knowledge of occupational safety and health (K3). This problem is also found in Pandeglang, Banten, where construction workers generally have low education levels, limited K3 training, and poor compliance with personal protective equipment (PPE) use. To address this issue, a community service program was carried out by Universitas Mercubuana in collaboration with PT Tunas Engineering using a participatory approach. The activities included K3 socialization, discussions, practical demonstrations, and distributing 21 PPE sets (helmets, gloves, and boots). Pre-test and post-test questionnaires were administered to evaluate participants' knowledge before and after training. The results showed a significant increase in awareness, with knowledge of PPE use, hazard recognition, and workplace communication improving by more than 50%. This program demonstrates that participatory training supported by hands-on practice and PPE provision effectively enhances workers' safety awareness and behavior. However, the program involved a limited number of participants and short-term evaluation, so further development is needed with larger groups, continuous mentoring, and collaboration with contractors and government to ensure sustainability.
 
IMPLEMENTATION OF CLEAN PRODUCTION IN MICROBUSINESS LOCATED IN WEST JAKARTA
No full textThis study explores the implementation of cleaner production (CP) principles in microbusinesses in West Jakarta through a community training program led by the University of Mercu Buana in collaboration with BRIN and PNM. The initiative aimed to address operational inefficiencies and environmental challenges faced by micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), particularly in urban areas. The training engaged 25 local entrepreneurs—primarily women—in food, trade, and craft sectors, many with limited education and resources. Participants were introduced to CP strategies such as waste reduction, energy efficiency, and resource optimization, tailored for small-scale businesses. The interactive sessions emphasized sustainable profitability, lifecycle thinking, and practices like composting and greywater reuse. Feedback and follow-up mentoring revealed strong interest in adopting CP and identified key challenges including limited funding, digital skills, and raw material access. The program successfully built awareness and practical knowledge, showing that participatory, localized approaches—paired with mentorship—can promote both environmental and business resilience. Expanding technical demonstrations, peer learning, and supportive policies will be essential to sustaining and scaling CP adoption in MSMEs
BASIC FEMINISM EDUCATION IN WOMEN'S COMMUNITIES
No full textThe Community Service Program (PKM) aims to strengthen basic feminist understanding among women through education. The background to this activity includes the relevance of feminism in the social context of Indonesia, where data shows that despite the continued increase in the national Women and Development Index (IPP), gender inequality remains significant in education, economics, and political participation. According to the Statistics Indonesia (BPS) (2024), the female labor force participation rate reached approximately 52%, yet the wage gap and representation remain high.This community service activity is designed to provide an understanding of the history, principles, and practices of feminism and to encourage women's active roles as agents of change in their communities. Qualitative methods were used: participant observation, data collection (literature study), and interactive lectures. The results of this activity demonstrated an increased understanding of the basic concepts of feminism, women's rights and empowerment, and awareness of gender stereotypes. Participants were also more motivated to advocate for equality in their communities. Recommendations include expanding educational outreach, involving local partners, and aligning materials with local wisdom. This program is expected to inspire an inclusive and contextual feminist movement in Indonesia
MENTAL STRENGTHENING IN ENRICHING SELF READINESS TO SME’s FOR THE INDONESIAN COMMUNITY PERMAI IN PENANG MALAYSIA
No full textThe records of the Data and Information Center of the Indonesian Migrant Workers Protection Agency (BP2MI) in this study specifically taking those in Malaysia, the number of distribution and placement in Malaysia is the 3rd (three) highest of the top ten countries of placement for Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) with a total of 43,163 Migrant Workers and a percentage of 21.5%. The aim of this community service is to empower informal workers and learning sector facilitators by strengthening the individual potential of the Indonesian Community Association (PERMAI) Pulai Pinang with a differentiated learning approach that favors the informal sector workers themselves, as well as an effort to adapt the adjustment process to the work community which exists. In Malaysia, adjustment includes interest, strengthening one's potential, and individual readiness to achieve increased productivity results. The solution is to strengthen individuals and/or facilitators in differentiated learning with a learning pattern approach that focuses on increasing productivity levels, through several stages. Stage 1: Map and collect data on initial partner conditions; Stage 2, Socialization through discussions with partners regarding implementation preparations, implementation time, members involved and service topics at Partners; Stage 3: Training and empowerment of differentiated learning and learning pattern approaches that focus on increasing productivity levels; Stage 4: Assistance in implementing learning approaches to learning patterns that favor increasing productivity levels; Stage 5: monitor and evaluate all partner activities; Stage 6: Follow-up on program implementation
COMMUNITY SERVICE PROGRAM TO IMPROVE EARLY CHILDHOOD AND SCHOOL-AGE LITERACY USING THE MULTISENSORY METHOD
No full textIndonesia still faces literacy challenges among elementary and junior high school students, especially in urban areas like Jakarta. This issue stems from insufficient early literacy stimulation, minimal family involvement, and low motivation to learn. To address these challenges, the community service team supports the Gempica (Smart Reading Movement) program in Menteng Dalam Village, South Jakarta. The initiative introduces two innovative, multisensory learning strategies at RPTRA Flamboyan. The first method uses pictures and storytelling to help children recognize letters and stimulate their imagination. The second method applies an educational dice game, “Aku Cinta Indonesia,” to train quick thinking and broaden knowledge through interactive teamwork. Thirty children aged 6–10 participated, with active support from families and community partners, deepening collaboration. The results show improvements in reading interest, letter recognition, reading fluency, and self-confidence. Children gained social skills and found joy in learning, while parents expressed satisfaction and desire for continued activities
BUILDING SOCIAL RESILIENCE THROUGH LEGAL LITERACY AND SEXUAL VIOLENCE REPORTING TECHNOLOGY
No full textThe rising incidence of sexual violence against women and children, particularly within informal, non-marital relationships such as cohabitation, poses a serious social and legal challenge. These relationships often lack legal recognition, resulting in limited social oversight, inadequate protection mechanisms, and increased vulnerability for those involved. Cultural and normative tensions between traditional Indonesian values and modern lifestyles further exacerbate these risks, especially in urban environments. In response, this project integrates two complementary strategies: (1) a criminological outreach as a community-based legal literacy initiative, and (2) the development of a sexual violence reporting application, designed to facilitate rapid, secure, and accessible victim reporting. The counselling sessions are delivered collaboratively with community leaders, academics, and volunteers to foster awareness of legal rights, gender-based violence, and the dangers of norm-deviant practices like cohabitation. The application, specifically developed for residents and management of Gateway Apartment in Pesanggrahan, enables direct communication with support agencies and legal authorities. Together, these interventions aim to build social resilience, promote cultural alignment with protective norms, and establish a responsive technological infrastructure for early reporting and prevention. Grounded in a participatory and data-driven methodology, this program provides a scalable model for reducing sexual violence by combining education, legal empowerment, and digital innovation
DISASTER RESILIENCE PARTNERSHIP ON INCLUSIVE EARLY WARNING SYSTEM AND SIBAR (FLOOD INFORMATION SYSTEM) IN RT. 13, PONDOK BETUNG, SOUTH TANGERANG
No full textRT. 13 Pondok Betung, Pondok Aren, South Tangerang is a disaster-prone area, especially flooding. Flooding occurs almost every heavy rain. One of the main problems faced by residents is the lack of knowledge and understanding on disasters which influences unpreparedness and mitigation. This community service program – PKM aims to improve disaster preparedness in RT. 13 through a technology-based and educational approach. This program introduces an inclusive Early Warning System (EWS) and a technology-based flood information system- SIBAR. The technology is integrated with the WhatsApp application. The PKM method includes several stages. First, socialization and education for residents about the importance of disaster preparedness, including how to understand and respond for early warnings. Second, an introduction to the inclusive EWS (Early Warning System) SIBAR (Submerged Flood Information System) so that all residents, especially vulnerable groups such as the elderly and people with disabilities, can utilize it effectively. Next, an evaluation was conducted based on the results of pre- and post-tests using questionnaires administered to participants. This PKM activity resulted in increased understanding among residents of RT 13, as partners and participants, regarding flood mitigation through the use of technology, partnerships, and the importance of strengthening community resilience
OPTIMIZING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF POLRI PROFESSIONAL ETHICS CODE AS AN INSTRUMENT TO INCREASE ACCOUNTABILITY AND PUBLIC TRUST IN BEKASI METRO POLICE
No full textThis study aims to analyse the optimization of the implementation of the Polri Professional Code of Ethics (KEPP) as an instrument for the transformation of the Polri in the Bekasi Metro Police in order to increase accountability and public trust. The background of the research is based on a global phenomenon characterized by the conditions of Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity (VUCA), which encourage rapid changes in social, economic, and political life, as well as increasing public criticism of police performance. The research method used was a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis techniques, supported by document review, secondary data, and online questionnaires to 102 respondents. Data analysis was carried out through the integration of External Factors Analysis Summary (EFAS), Internal Factors Analysis Summary (IFAS), and Strategic Factors Analysis Summary (SFAS) with the help of the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). The results of the study show that although the level of public satisfaction with the performance of the Bekasi Metro Police in 2023 has increased significantly compared to the previous year, a number of performance indicators such as the clearance rate of conventional crimes and personnel discipline are still not optimal. This study concludes that optimizing KEPP requires problem oriented policing, ranging from adaptive education and training, fostering a code of ethics that is integrated in work programs, to collaboration with academics, local governments, and the community. Continuous evaluation through a risk management framework is key to strengthening institutional integrity and maintaining public trust
ECONOMIC RECIRCULATION AND CIRCULAR ECONOMY PRACTICES IN SUPPORTING MIGRANT WORKERS: A CASE STUDY OF PERMAI PENANG, MALAYSIA
No full textThis study explores the role of economic recirculation and circular economy practices in enhancing the sustainability of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and improving the socio-economic conditions of migrant workers managed by PERMAI in Penang Island, Malaysia. Migrant workers contribute significantly to the local economy but face challenges related to social inclusion, economic vulnerability, and limited access to sustainable livelihood opportunities. By integrating circular economy principles into business operations and community programs, PERMAI aims to empower migrant workers, stimulate local economic development, and promote environmental sustainability. The findings suggest that targeted financial support, capacity building, digital market access, and community-based circular initiatives foster economic resilience, social cohesion, and environmental responsibility within migrant communities and SMEs
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM TO ENHANCE FLOSSING PRACTICE UTILIZATION AMONG PRIMARY SCHOOL CHILDREN
No full textFlossing plays a crucial role in maintaining oral health by removing plaque from interdental areas that cannot be reached with toothbrushing alone. In Indonesia, the practice of flossing remains uncommon, particularly among children, contributing to the high prevalence of periodontal disease. This highlights the urgent need for preventive strategies through early education to encourage proper and consistent oral hygiene behaviors. To address this issue, the SMART GG Community Partnership Program (CPP) was implemented as a school-based intervention aimed at providing flossing practice utilization among primary school children. The program included health education sessions, demonstrations of proper flossing techniques, the use of flossing cards, and 21-day calendars for self-monitoring. A pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test approach was conducted among 43 fourth-grade students at SD Kartika X-2, Jakarta. The results indicated an increase in flossing utilization scores after the intervention, showing positive changes in students’ behavior. In conclusion, the SMART GG program effectively enhanced flossing practice utilization among schoolchildren and presents a sustainable model for strengthening oral health education in Indonesia
