he government pays little attention to it, especially regarding clean water. Clean water in the area can be said to be unfit for use. So that people find it difficult to get clean water for drinking, washing and bathing. These problems can be solved by programs to improve clean water infrastructure and facilities, such as drilling wells and allocating river water, so that they can provide optimal services for clean water, which has a very strong relationship with the economic growth of a region and the socio-cultural life of the community. Determining the priority scale for clean water must look at various criteria so as to produce accurate and precise results. The criteria that are considered in determining the priority of clean water are: Water Condition, Population, Regional Economic Potential, Cost, Level of Interest. To determine the priority of clean water projects at the Public Works and Spatial Planning Office of Asahan Regency, a decision support system is needed that can assist in determining which villages have the right to be prioritized in the priority of clean water projects more effectively and efficiently.

Abstrak: Sebagian Besar Wilayah di Kabupaten Asahan merupakan wilayah perkebunan dan pesisir yang sebagian masyarakatnya bekerja sebagai petani dan nelayan. Di wilayah Pesisir masih tertinggal karena letaknya yang jauh dari perkotaan sehingga kurang diperhatikan oleh pemerintah, terutama mengenai air bersih. Air bersih di wilayah tersebut bisa di bilang tidak layak untuk digunakan. Sehingga masyarakat kesulitan untuk mendapatkan air bersih baik itu untuk diminum, menyuci dan mandi. Masalah tersebut dapat diselesaikan dengan program peningkatan prasarana dan sarana air bersih seperti membuat sumur bor dan pengalokasiam air sungai, agar tetap dapat memberikan pelayanan yang optimal terhadap air bersih memiliki keterkaitan yang sangat kuat dengan pertumbuhan ekonomi suatu wilayah maupun sosial budaya kehidupan masyarakat. Penentuan skala prioritas air bersih tersebut harus melihat dari berbagai kriteria sehingga menghasilkan hasil yang akurat dan tepat. Adapun kriteria yang menjadi pertimbangan dalam penentuan prioritas air bersih ialah: Kondisi Air, Jumlah Penduduk, Potensi Ekonomi Daerah, Biaya, Tingkat Kepentingan. Untuk penentuan proyek prioritas air bersih di Dinas Pekerjaan Umum dan Penataan Ruang Kabupaten Asahan maka diperlukan sistem pendukung keputusan yang dapat membantu dalam menentukan desa mana yang berhak didahulukan dalam prioritas proyek air bersih dengan lebih efektif dan efisien.

e era of digital transformation, when tourism villages are required to adapt through technology-based smart tourism approaches, digital promotion, and information services. One area with significant potential is Lembar Selatan Village in West Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara. Surrounded by 70 hectares of mangrove forest, a coastline, marine life, and well-preserved local traditions, the village has the potential to be developed into a coastal ecotourism destination. The Lembar Selatan Ecotourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis) has begun managing tourism based on conservation and environmental education. However, obstacles remain, such as low digital literacy, the lack of an online promotion and reservation system, and limited destination management training. These conditions impact market reach and low tourist visits. Therefore, Community Service (PKM) activities are designed to increase Pokdarwis capacity, strengthen tourism digitalization through websites and promotional media, and encourage local community empowerment. This program is expected to realize inclusive, participatory, and sustainable coastal ecotourism, as well as strengthen the competitiveness and branding of Lembar Selatan Tourism Village.

Abstract:Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) is extracted coconut oil containing medium chain fatty acids that have been believed to have many health functions. These fatty acids are easily digested and absorbed by the intestines because the…
e size of the molecules is relatively small so that they can be directly burned by the body to produce energy. In addition, VCO contains lauric acid which can dissolve the virus membrane in the form of lipids so that it will interfere with the immunity of the virus, so that the virus becomes inactive. VCO is processed without heating, no additional chemicals, dyes, and preservatives so that it can survive as pure vegetable oil so that it does not change the composition or characteristics of the oil. VCO has high economic value. The manufacturing process is easy. The methods in this Community Service are Counseling, direct Practice and discussion. It is hoped that the use of coconuts will not only be sold in the form of unprocessed fruit but coconuts are processed into pure coconut oil or Virgin Coconut Oil and can be developed more widely through group entrepreneurship programs so as to increase the income of the congregation, especially the Women's group in the GMIT Marturia Oesapa Selatan Congregation, Kelapa Lima District, Kupang City.

Abstrak. Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) merupakan minyak kelapa yang diekstraksi yang mengandung asam lemak yang memiliki rantai sedang yang telah dipercaya memiliki banyak fungsi untuk kesehatan. asam lemak tersebut mudah dicerna dan diserap oleh usus karena ukuran molekulnya relatif kecil sehingga dapat langsung dibakar oleh tubuh untuk memproduksi energi. Selain itu, VCO mengandung asam laurat yang dapat melarutkan membran virus berupa lipid sehingga akan mengganggu kekebalan virus, sehingga virus menjadi inaktif. VCO diproses tanpa pemanasan, tidak ada tambahan bahan kimia, pewarna, dan pengawet sehingga dapat bertahan sebagai minyak nabati murni sehingga tidak merubah komposisi atau karakteristik minyak. VCO mempunyai nilai ekonomis yang tinggi. Proses pembuatannya mudah. Metode dalam Pengabdian Masyarakat ini adalah Penyuluhan, langsung Praktek dan diskusi. Diharapkan pemanfaatan buah kelapa tidak hanya dijual dalam bentuk buah tanpa diolah tetapi buah kelapa diolah menjadi minyak kelapa murni atau Virgin Coconut Oil dan dapat dikembangkan secara lebih luas lagi melalui program kewirausahaan kelompok sehingga meningkatkan pendapatan jemaat, khususnya kelompok Kaum Perempuan di Jemaat GMIT Marturia Oesapa Selatan, Kecamatan Kelapa Lima Kota Kupang.
