DATA-BASED VILLAGE PLANNING EDUCATION VIA MUSDESUS FOR SETTLEMENT-ENVIRONMENT PROPOSALS IN KALIJAGA

Isnein Akbar, Abdulah Muzakkar
Abstract: Village development planning that is not grounded in data can lead to poorly targeted programs, particularly for settlement-environment issues such as solid waste, sanitation, drainage, and neighborhood space quality. This… is community service program aimed to improve residents’ literacy in data-based planning and strengthen meaningful participation in formulating settlement-environment program proposals. The activity was conducted in Kalijaga Village, Aikmel Subdistrict, East Lombok Regency, on 17 November 2025 as a special village deliberation meeting (Musyawarah Desa Khusus; Musdesus) involving 75 participants representing village stakeholders, including youth and community organizations (Karang Taruna and the Village Community Resilience Institution/Lembaga Ketahanan Masyarakat Desa; LKMD). A participatory education approach was applied through short lectures, focused discussions, and hands-on proposal drafting using simple minimum data and a standard structure (problem–location–target group–indicators–resource needs). Evaluation was descriptive using facilitator field notes and a proposal-completeness rubric. Of 49 written proposals collected (N=49), 40 (81.6%) met all minimum elements, while 9 (18.4%) were incomplete. The results indicate a shift from general complaints toward more structured proposals with clearer locations, target groups, and basic indicators. Data-based village planning education is a low-cost intervention to improve the quality of community participation outputs and enhance the readiness of proposals for subsequent village planning processes..

TRANSFORMATION OF ACEH TENGGARA COCOA FARMERS THROUGH GAP AND APPLICATION-BASED PRICE INFORMATION SYSTEM

Assauwab, Muhammad Husaini, Deden Sumoharjo, Anuar Ramut, Umaidi
Abstract: Cocoa is a strategic commodity in Southeast Aceh Regency, but farmer productivity and income remain low due to limited implementation of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and poor access to price information. This community… ity service activity aims to improve farmers' capacity through an integrated approach that combines improving cocoa cultivation knowledge, strengthening the implementation of GAP, and utilizing real-time cocoa price information applications. The activity was carried out in December 2025 through stages of socialization, technical training, field demonstrations, introduction to price applications, as well as mentoring and evaluation. The results of the activity showed an increase in farmers' knowledge levels from low to medium to high, especially in terms of price information. Initial improvements in GAP adoption were reflected in pruning, fertilization, garden sanitation, pest control, and harvesting and post-harvesting practices that were more in line with standards. Access to price information shifted from dependence on middlemen to the use of applications and market comparisons, which increased farmers' independence in determining the time of sale. The price range difference between farmers and market references confirms that limited information weakens farmers' bargaining position. Overall, the integrated approach has proven relevant in improving farming efficiency and strengthening the basis for increasing cocoa farmers' income, although the sustainability of the impact requires continued assistance and strengthening of farmer institutions.

Luthfi, Oktiyas Muzaky, Yamindago, Ade, Dewi, Citra Satrya Utama, As’adi, M. Arif, Khurniawan, Dhira, Aliviyanti, Dian, Yanuar, Adi Tiya, A’yun, Qurrota, Isdianto, Andik
Abstract: Desa Sidoasri, Kabupaten Malang, memiliki potensi ekowisata bahari yang tinggi namun menghadapi tekanan ekologi dan kelembagaan lokal yang terbatas. Program ini bertujuan memberdayakan Pokmaswas dan masyarakat pesisir agar… ar bertransformasi dari pengguna pasif menjadi pengelola aktif ekowisata berkelanjutan. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan partisipatif berbasis komunitas melalui survei awal, FGD, pelatihan Training Ecodiver (selam dasar, identifikasi biota, pemantauan terumbu, dokumentasi), sarasehan desa, pendampingan intensif, serta evaluasi formatif–sumatif. Hasil menunjukkan: (i) penilaian potensi wisata (panorama pantai, trekking, snorkeling–diving, canoeing, GT fishing) memperoleh skor tinggi pada keunikan ekosistem, keterkaitan antarhabitat, dan keterwakilan ekosistem pesisir; (ii) partisipasi, motivasi, dan kapasitas kelembagaan masyarakat meningkat, tercermin dari keterlibatan dalam pemantauan terumbu, pengelolaan homestay, promosi digital, serta penguatan rencana kerja Pokmaswas; (iii) jejaring komunitas–pemerintah–akademisi menguat dan membuka peluang tindak lanjut. Disimpulkan bahwa konservasi harus menjadi prasyarat pengembangan ekowisata, dengan paradigma “konservasi sebagai investasi” untuk menjaga daya tarik destinasi dan manfaat ekonomi lokal. Ke depan disarankan institusionalisasi SOP dan insentif konservasi, monitoring jangka panjang berbasis komunitas, perluasan kemitraan lintas sektor, serta integrasi adaptasi iklim dan pengendalian spesies invasif dalam paket ekowisata Sidoasri.

THE IMPLEMENTATION OF COMMUNICATIVE LANGUAGE TEACHING (CLT) METHOD THROUGH PLAYFUL ENGLISH APPROACH TO IMPROVE STUDENTS' SPEAKING SKILLS AT PKBM PESONA PULAU TEGAL

Saputri, Vike Aprilianin Marwintaria, Andriyaningsih, Ayu, Kusuma, Candra
Abstract:   The ability to speak English is very important, especially for coastal communities such as those on Tegal Island, which has tourism potential. However, students at the Pesona Pulau Tegal Community Learning Center (PKBM)… KBM) still have difficulty communicating, especially in English, because learning has tended to be conventional, focusing on memorization and grammar rather than practical communication. This creates a gap between the need for speaking skills and the teaching methods used, reinforcing students' fear and lack of confidence. Based on these issues, this Community Service activity aims to improve students' speaking skills through the application of the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) method integrated with the Playful English approach, which involves enjoyable learning through games, role-play, and creative activities. The methods used include guided speaking exercises, conversation simulations, and collaborative projects such as creating promotional posters for beach tourism in English. The results show a significant improvement in students' fluency, confidence, and active participation. Students began to speak more boldly, practice simple sentences, and express ideas spontaneously. The classroom atmosphere became livelier and more enjoyable with minimal psychological barriers such as fear of making mistakes. The implications of this activity are that the CLT approach combined with elements of joy can serve as an effective learning model in non-formal institutions. This method not only enhances language skills but also empowers students socially and emotionally, and can be replicated in similar communities.

Abstract: Community-based nature tourism development is an important strategy for community empowerment that can enhance local economic welfare while supporting environmental sustainability. However, the success of community-based… tourism management largely depends on the capacity of human resources and local institutions. This study aims to analyze the role of community-based nature tourism management training in improving individual capacities and strengthening the institutional capacity of the Giri Puspa Forest Farmer Group (Kelompok Tani Hutan/KTH) as the manager of Lembah Puspa Educamp in West Bandung Regency. This research employed a qualitative approach using a case study method. Research informants consisted of the group leader, management board members, KTH members, training facilitators, and tourism development partners selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis, and analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, including data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the training contributed significantly to improving participants’ competencies in tour guiding, visitor services, tourism safety, environmental interpretation, and digital marketing. Furthermore, the training strengthened institutional capacity through enhanced coordination, task distribution, member participation, and collective decision-making processes. The program also supported the implementation of Community Based Tourism (CBT) principles, as reflected in increased community involvement in tourism management and destination development. Nevertheless, several challenges remain, including limited funding, inadequate supporting facilities, and unequal competency levels among group members. The study concludes that training serves as a strategic instrument for community empowerment and institutional strengthening to support sustainable community-based nature tourism management

PENERAPAN SISTEM INFORMASI PELAYANAN PERIZINAN TERPADU (SIPINTER) DI DINAS PENANAMAN MODAL DAN PELAYANAN TERPADU SATU PINTU KABUPATEN TANGERANG

Nur Annisaa, Riny Handayani
Abstract: Abstract This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Integrated Licensing Service Information System (SIPINTER) at the Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Office (DPMPTSP) of Tangerang Regency. The research… earch is grounded in issues of low institutional responsiveness in following up on complaints, mismatches between actual service completion time and the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), and uneven public socialization of the system. This study employs a descriptive method with a qualitative approach, using 3-dimensional e-government success model, namely Support, Capacity, and Value, as the analytical framework. Data were collected through field observation, regulatory documentation review, and in-depth interviews. The findings indicate that the Support dimension is backed by strong political will, allocated funding, and multi-channel socialization that has driven growth in registered users, though technical assistance responsiveness outside office hours remains weak. The Capacity dimension shows adequate human resources and staff competence, but the technological infrastructure remains prone to disruptions such as OTP delivery failures and server downtime. The Value dimension has produced tangible benefits in efficiency and service transparency, yet this value is undermined by document processing delays exceeding SOP standards, driven by a "digital red tape" practice among internal verification officers. This study recommends strengthening online technical support and adopting contingency resource mechanisms to improve service. Keywords: SIPINTER, e-government, licensing service, DPMPTSP, Support-Capacity-Value model   Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis Penerapan Sistem Informasi Pelayanan Perizinan Terpadu (SIPINTER) di Dinas Penanaman Modal dan Pelayanan Terpadu Satu Pintu (DPMPTSP) Kabupaten Tangerang. Latar belakang penelitian ini didasari oleh masih rendahnya responsivitas instansi dalam menindaklanjuti laporan, ketidaksesuaian durasi penyelesaian layanan dengan Standar Operasional Prosedur (SOP), serta sosialisasi yang belum merata kepada masyarakat. Penelitian menggunakan metode deskriptif dengan pendekatan kualitatif, dengan analisis berlandaskan model keberhasilan e-government tiga dimensi yaitu Support, Capacity, dan Value. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dimensi Support telah didukung oleh political will yang kuat, alokasi anggaran, dan sosialisasi multikanal yang mendorong pertumbuhan pengguna terdaftar, namun masih lemah dalam responsivitas bantuan teknis di luar jam kerja. Dimensi Capacity menunjukkan kecukupan sumber daya manusia dan kompetensi petugas, tetapi infrastruktur masih rentan mengalami gangguan teknis seperti kegagalan pengiriman OTP dan server down. Dimensi Value menghasilkan manfaat nyata berupa efisiensi dan transparansi pelayanan, namun nilainya terdegradasi akibat keterlambatan penyelesaian dokumen yang melampaui SOP, yang dipicu oleh praktik birokrasi digital (digital red tape) di tingkat verifikator internal. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan penguatan dukungan teknis daring serta penerapan mekanisme kontingensi sumber daya untuk meningkatkan layanan.

HUBUNGAN ANTARA QUARTER LIFE CRISIS DENGAN TINGKAT SELF ESTEEM MAHASISWA DI IAKN KUPANG

Manao, Sumari Novika, Henuk, Marwyn, Hendrik A. E Lao
Abstract: The transition into emerging adulthood frequently induces life-direction anxiety, commonly known as a quarter-life crisis, among university students. This correlational quantitative investigation was designed to evaluate… the correlation between the intensity of the quarter-life crisis (Variable X) and self-esteem (Variable Y) among active students at the State Christian Institute of Kupang (IAKN Kupang). Employing a sample of 30 participants gathered via probability sampling techniques, data collection was conducted utilizing Likert-scale questionnaires and statistically processed using the Pearson Product Moment correlation formula. The empirical analysis demonstrates a significant and highly robust positive correlation between the investigated constructs ($r = 0.769$; $p = 0.000$). This outcome highlights a noteworthy theoretical anomaly, wherein heightened levels of crisis are unexpectedly linked with enhanced self-esteem. This distinct psychological pattern is driven by active internal introspection, a purposeful pursuit of life meaning, and personal identity consolidation amid adversity. Furthermore, the campus culture at IAKN Kupang—characterized by comprehensive spiritual mentoring, robust peer networks, and a nurturing social atmosphere—serves as a constructive emotional buffer. These external dynamics empower students to navigate developmental stress adaptively, demonstrating that rather than diminishing their self-worth, the identity crisis ultimately bolsters their personal resilience.

PENGARUH PENERAPAN METODE SAM'IYAH SYAFAWIYAH BERBASIS PENDEKATAN KOMUNIKATIF TERHADAP KEPERCAYAAN DIRI BERBICARA BAHASA ARAB

Diana, Elpa, Novri Susanti Suparman, Fitri Wahidah, Dewi, Nofrianti
Abstract: This study aims to examine the effect of implementing the Sam'iyah Syafawiyah method based on a communicative approach on students' self-confidence in speaking Arabic through a library research approach. The study employs… s a qualitative method with a systematic literature review, analyzing and synthesizing scientific sources including books, international and national journals, articles, proceedings, and relevant research findings. Data sources were obtained from scientific databases such as Google Scholar, JSTOR, ScienceDirect, ERIC, and national digital repositories. The findings consistently demonstrate that the Sam'iyah Syafawiyah method integrated with the communicative approach has a positive and significant influence on students' self-confidence in speaking Arabic. This effect operates through four main mechanisms: (1) repetitive drilling builds mastery experience; (2) native speaker audio models provide vicarious experience; (3) the communicative approach reduces affective filters; and (4) intensive practice promotes automaticity in Arabic speech production. This study concludes that the integration of both methods constitutes an effective and recommended pedagogical strategy for improving self-confidence in Arabic speaking.   Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji pengaruh penerapan metode Sam'iyah Syafawiyah berbasis pendekatan komunikatif terhadap kepercayaan diri peserta didik dalam berbicara bahasa Arab melalui pendekatan library research (studi kepustakaan). Penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan kajian literatur sistematis, yakni menganalisis dan mensintesis berbagai sumber ilmiah berupa buku, jurnal nasional dan internasional, artikel, prosiding, dan hasil penelitian yang relevan. Sumber data diperoleh dari berbagai basis data ilmiah seperti Google Scholar, JSTOR, ScienceDirect, ERIC, dan repositori digital nasional. Hasil kajian secara konsisten menunjukkan bahwa metode Sam'iyah Syafawiyah yang diintegrasikan dengan pendekatan komunikatif memberikan pengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap kepercayaan diri peserta didik dalam berbicara bahasa Arab. Pengaruh ini bekerja melalui empat mekanisme utama: (1) latihan drill berulang membangun mastery experience; (2) model audio native speaker memberikan vicarious experience; (3) pendekatan komunikatif menurunkan filter afektif; dan (4) latihan intensif mendorong otomatisasi produksi ujaran bahasa Arab. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa integrasi kedua metode tersebut merupakan strategi pedagogis yang efektif dan direkomendasikan untuk meningkatkan kepercayaan diri berbicara bahasa Arab.
