, Provinsi Papua Pegunungan. Kegiatan dilaksanakan menggunakan pendekatan Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) yang melibatkan masyarakat secara aktif dalam identifikasi potensi, penyuluhan, diskusi, dan evaluasi. Peserta kegiatan berjumlah 15 orang yang terdiri atas anggota kelompok tani, tokoh masyarakat, dan pemuda. Evaluasi dilakukan melalui pretest dan posttest terhadap enam indikator, yaitu potensi ekonomi budidaya stroberi, teknik budidaya, pengelolaan lahan dan pupuk organik, pengendalian hama dan penyakit, pemanfaatan kearifan lokal, serta penanganan pascapanen dan pemasaran hasil. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata pengetahuan peserta meningkat dari 49,3% pada pretest menjadi 89,6% pada posttest atau mengalami peningkatan sebesar 40,3%. Selain meningkatkan pengetahuan teknis budidaya, kegiatan ini juga memperkuat pemahaman masyarakat mengenai pentingnya integrasi teknologi budidaya dengan nilai-nilai kearifan lokal seperti gotong royong, musyawarah, dan pemanfaatan sumber daya lokal dalam pengelolaan kebun. Pendekatan partisipatif yang diterapkan mampu meningkatkan keterlibatan masyarakat serta mendorong kesiapan dalam mengembangkan usaha budidaya stroberi secara produktif, berkelanjutan, dan bernilai ekonomi.

epada masyarakat. Berdasarkan hasil observasi lapangan, teridentifikasi tiga permasalahan utama, yaitu rendahnya aktivitas sosial antarwarga, minimnya kesadaran kesehatan pada kelompok lanjut usia, serta belum optimalnya pemanfaatan limbah kulit pinang hasil perkebunan masyarakat. Kegiatan dilaksanakan melalui pendekatan participatory action research dengan tiga program utama, yaitu turnamen bola voli antarkampung, pemeriksaan kesehatan lansia melalui posyandu, dan pelatihan pengolahan limbah kulit pinang menjadi biobriket. Hasil pelaksanaan menunjukkan bahwa turnamen bola voli berhasil meningkatkan interaksi dan kebersamaan antarwarga, kegiatan posyandu lansia meningkatkan akses dan kesadaran masyarakat lanjut usia terhadap layanan kesehatan, serta pelatihan biobriket memberikan pengetahuan dan keterampilan baru kepada masyarakat dalam mengolah limbah perkebunan menjadi produk bernilai ekonomi. Ketiga program tersebut saling melengkapi dalam mendukung pemberdayaan masyarakat dari aspek sosial, kesehatan, dan lingkungan, sehingga diperlukan pendampingan berkelanjutan agar manfaatnya dapat dirasakan dalam jangka panjang.

Abstract:Muaro Sentajo possesses the potential to be developed as a production hub for native orchid species due to its location within the natural habitat of orchid species in Kuantan Singingi Regency, directly bordering the Sentajo…
tajo Raya protected forest. Furthermore, the village has an underutilized female labor potential, organized within the Family Welfare Movement (Pemberdayaan dan Kesejahteraan Keluarga / PKK) as the foundational collective for rural women in Muaro Sentajo. This initiative aims to provide knowledge on native orchid species, cultivation techniques, integrated systems with stingless bees (kelulut), and digital marketing. The program implemented a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, consisting of asset mapping, practical cultivation workshops, e-commerce platform development, and four months of intensive mentoring. This empowerment program successfully established an active orchid breeding group managing more than 15 native orchid species. Additionally, 83.66% of the participants demonstrated proficiency in operating digital marketing channels (Instagram and Shopee), resulting in the first independent commercial sales of local orchid products. The integration of local ecological assets with modern digital marketing proved effective in enhancing the economic independence of rural women and promoting sustainable community development.
Abstract:This study examines how a non-diasporic public in the Global South engages with a foreign election in which it holds no vote, no residence, and no direct material stake. Rather than asking how Indonesian netizens represent…
nt Zohran Mamdani, the first Muslim Mayor of New York City, it asks what talking about Mamdani does for these netizens as members of their own polity, and develops the concept of comparative civic imagination: the use of a foreign political figure as a discursive instrument for evaluating, criticising, and re-imagining one’s own democracy. The study applies qualitative Computer-Mediated Discourse Analysis (CMDA) to public Indonesian-language discourse about Mamdani on platform X between 1 November 2025 and 30 June 2026, drawing on a purposively constructed corpus of 213 units—134 citizen-account units as the analytical core and 79 media-account units as contextual triangulation—recoded by comparative function and affective register rather than by stance toward the figure. The findings show that Indonesian netizens engage Mamdani through a comparative architecture organised by the vernacular frame “Mamdani Indonesia” (45% of citizen units) and enacted through three repertoires: analogical personification, institutional benchmarking, and counterfactual transposition. The discourse is animated by civic despair—crystallised in the idiom “Indonesia could never”—which operates as a participatory rather than an apathetic affect, while a domestic value-compatibility filter of doctrinal, sectarian, and purity tests renders the admired model discursively non-transferable, closing a recursive loop theorised here as a digitally networked spectre of comparisons. The article shifts the analysis of transnational digital engagement away from cosmopolitan and diasporic assumptions toward the vicarious engagement of non-diasporic publics, re-theorises despair as a mode of civic engagement, and recovers Benedict Anderson’s spectre of comparisons for platform-era political communication in the Global South.
Abstract:Spent coffee grounds are one of the organic wastes that remain underutilized despite their significant potential to be transformed into value-added products. This community service program aimed to enhance the knowledge…
and practical skills of the residents of Jingkang Village in converting spent coffee grounds into aromatherapy candles and air fresheners based on the principles of the circular economy. The program employed a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach consisting of problem identification, program planning, training implementation, monitoring and evaluation, and reflection. The activity involved 15 participants, including community members, micro-enterprise actors, and women's community groups. Program effectiveness was evaluated using pre-test and post-test assessments and analysed through a Paired Sample t-test. The results demonstrated that the average participant score increased from 46.70 to 86.00, representing an 84.15% improvement. Statistical analysis confirmed a significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores (p < 0.001). Furthermore, all program success indicators were achieved, including a 100% attendance rate, 100% participant competency in producing the products, a participant satisfaction level of 93.30%, and all products meeting usability standards. The novelty of this program lies in integrating the Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, circular economy principles, and quantitative statistical evaluation into a community empowerment model utilizing spent coffee grounds as value-added products. This model has strong potential to be replicated in other coffee-producing communities to promote sustainable waste management and local economic development.
Abstract:Waste management has become one of the most persistent environmental challenges confronting rapidly growing urban areas in Indonesia. While previous studies have primarily explained waste management through technical infrastructure,…
rastructure, environmental awareness, or public policy, relatively little attention has been given to the interaction between environmental ethics and everyday social practices in shaping environmental behaviour. This study aims to examine how environmental ethics are translated into community waste management practices in Kendari City from the perspective of environmental sociology. A qualitative case study approach was employed using field observations, semi-structured interviews with 30 informants representing community members, religious leaders, community leaders, sanitation workers, and officials from the Kendari City Environmental Agency, as well as document analysis. The data were analysed using thematic analysis and interpreted through the analytical perspectives of Environmental Sociology, Social Practice Theory, Public Sphere Theory, and Political Ecology. The findings reveal that environmental ethics constitute an important normative foundation for environmental responsibility; however, their implementation in everyday waste management practices is mediated by socially embedded habitus, community values, institutional capacity, public discourse, and local governance. Waste management behaviour is therefore shaped not only by individual awareness but also by continuous interactions among social norms, institutional arrangements, and collective practices. The study concludes that sustainable urban waste management requires integrated approaches combining environmental ethics, community participation, participatory governance, and institutional collaboration. By integrating environmental ethics with environmental sociology, this study contributes to a broader understanding of the social dimensions of urban waste management and offers practical insights for strengthening community-based environmental governance in Indonesia.
