Transformasi Digital UMKM: Pengembangan Marketplace BANGKIT (Belanja UMKM Kreatif, Inovatif, dan Komplit) untuk Ekspansi Penjualan Produk Lokal UMKM Kabupaten Subang
Limitations in the adoption of digital technology are a major challenge for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Subang Regency, which is reflected in the still-manual production process, conventional business management, and limited marketing reach on a local scale. On the other hand, the general public also faces low digital literacy which hinders participation in the modern economy. This community service program aims to address these problems through the design and development of an integrated marketplace platform called BANGKIT (Creative, Innovative, and Complete MSME Shopping). The program implementation method uses a participatory approach that includes three main stages: (1) development of the marketplace platform as a digital showcase for local products; (2) intensive training and mentoring for MSME actors regarding online store management, product photography, and digital marketing strategies; and (3) facilitation of the onboarding process for MSME products into the platform. The results of this activity are the realization of a functional digital economic ecosystem, increased capacity and empowerment of MSME partners, and expanded market reach for local products. This program not only provides concrete solutions for MSMEs, but also supports the achievement of the Key Performance Indicators (KPI) of higher education through the active involvement of lecturers and students in providing direct benefits to the community. Program outputs are disseminated through publications in community service journals, mass media, activity videos, poster works and reports on increasing the level of partner empowerment: management aspects.

Penerapan Sistem Pembayaran Qris dan Pendaftaran Google Maps Sebagai Upaya Meningkatkan Akses dan Daya Saing UMKM di Kelurahan Harjosari
This community service activity was carried out with the primary objective of improving digital literacy and the competitiveness of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Harjosari Village through the implementation of a Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard (QRIS)-based payment system and business location registration on Google Maps. This digital transformation is expected to address the challenges faced by MSMEs amidst technological developments and increasingly fierce market competition. The activity implementation method includes several stages. First, identification of MSME needs and conditions is carried out through interviews and observations to understand the level of digital literacy and readiness to adopt technology. Second, socialization is provided to introduce the benefits of QRIS and Google Maps, while also building awareness of the importance of a digital presence for businesses. Third, technical training focused on how to create an account, activate QRIS, and register a business location on Google Maps. Fourth, direct mentoring is provided to ensure that MSMEs can apply these new skills independently in their daily business activities. The results of the activity show a significant increase in transaction efficiency, as QRIS enables a fast, secure, and cash-free payment process. Business registration on Google Maps also increases business visibility online, making it easier for potential customers to find business locations and information. Furthermore, business owners' confidence in using digital technology has increased, which in turn expands market opportunities. However, challenges remain, such as resistance from some MSMEs to QRIS transaction fees and limited digital literacy among certain groups. Overall, however, this activity provides concrete evidence that digital transformation through QRIS adoption and optimizing online presence can strengthen MSMEs' position in the digital economy era, while simultaneously opening up opportunities for business sustainability and growth.

The results of this activity showed an increase in MSME actors' understanding and skills in designing safer, more appealing packaging that aligns with market trends, as well as their ability to market products digitally. The application of attractive packaging strategies and digital marketing has proven to be effective in enhancing product appeal, expanding market segmentation, and driving sales growth. Therefore, this program provides a tangible contribution to empowering MSMEs in the Kota Baru District, supporting the development of a sustainable local economy, and opening up broader market opportunities.
Rendahnya Kemampuan Membaca dan Menulis Siswa Mantang Baru; Identifikasi Faktor Penyebab
This article discusses the analysis of problems and factors caused by low literacy skills among students, especially in elementary schools. The issue of literacy in Indonesia must be given renewed attention, as literacy greatly influences the growth and development of a generation. Education is very important in a country. Currently, education will become the foundation of a future generation. One of the foundations in question is literacy at an early age. Indonesia can be considered to have a minimal literacy culture. The curriculum plays an important role in ensuring that the learning presented in schools is carried out in a clearer manner. The research described in this article uses descriptive analysis methods based on qualitative data through interviews and observations. The research was conducted at Elementary School 003 in Mantang Baru Village. The research also involved 2nd and 6th grade elementary school students. The results of the study show that the factors causing low literacy skills among students are: (1) communication and guidance from parents and socioeconomic conditions; (2) the educational background of teachers in elementary schools. Based on these findings, the following recommendations can be made: (1) provision of facilities and infrastructure to support literacy, (2) intensive guidance, especially in reading activities at home, (3) the use of reading learning models in the learning process in elementary schools. Therefore, the conclusion that can be drawn is that literacy from an early age is important to optimize children's growth and development, expand language competence, improve critical thinking skills, and prepare them to face further educational challenges. Education and literacy are the main keys to a child's progress because these children will become great people and be able to compete with other children both domestically and abroad.

Reading skills are basic skills that students must master, especially in 5th grade. A structured and consistent literacy program is very influential in improving reading skills. This article discusses the effectiveness of literacy programs with reading, discussion, and action activities implemented at SDN 002 Teluk Bintan. The success of literacy programs greatly depends on collaboration between teachers, principals, and adequate facilities. This collaboration creates an ecosystem conducive to fostering an interest in reading. This community service program implements a collaborative strategy involving discussion and active reading, a method that has been proven to effectively improve reading skills. The purpose of this study is to measure the improvement in students' reading skills after participating in the literacy program. The research method used is an experiment with a one-group pretest-posttest design involving 30 fifth-grade elementary school students. The instruments used are reading tests with themes of health, bullying, and social issues to collect data. Data analysis included a comparison of pretest and posttest scores using a t-test. The results showed a significant increase from a pretest average score of 71.6 (classified as fair) to a posttest average score of 86.5 (classified as good). The success of this program is supported by an interactive approach that emphasizes not only reading but also discussion and practical activities related to the material, thereby engaging students more cognitively and emotionally.These findings confirm that effective literacy programs improve reading skills and shape students' critical thinking skills, and can be recommended for literacy programs in other schools.
Implementasi Program Lentera Baca Desa sebagai Upaya Optimalisasi Minat Baca Anak di Desa Ketapang, Susukan, Semarang
The low reading interest among Indonesian children remains a significant challenge that hinders literacy development and reduces the competitiveness of future generations. Ketapang Village, located in Susukan Sub-district, Semarang Regency, is one of the rural areas struggling with limited access to books and the lack of proper literacy facilities. To address this issue, the Community Service Program (Kuliah Kerja Nyata) initiated by university students developed the Lentera Baca Desa program, aiming to establish a child-friendly literacy park accessible to the entire community. The program was implemented through several stages: collecting and managing books obtained from the National Library, organizing a reading space within the Babussalam Mosque area of Kwangsan Hamlet, and officially inaugurating the literacy park in collaboration with local residents. The outcomes indicate that the literacy park not only provides access to reading materials but also creates a conducive and supportive environment that fosters children’s reading interest and strengthens community involvement in educational development. Furthermore, the program highlights that the sustainability and effectiveness of literacy promotion in rural areas rely more on active community participation, collective responsibility, and continuous management efforts rather than solely on the availability of book collections. This initiative demonstrates that grassroots collaboration can be a practical solution to improve literacy culture in underserved areas.
Peran Legalitas Usaha dalam Meningkatkan Daya Saing UMKM di Desa Gunung Kijang
The Community Service Program (KKN) in Gunung Kijang Village, Bintan Regency, Riau Islands, was implemented with the aim of improving community welfare by assisting micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in obtaining business legality. Legality is seen as an important requirement for increasing competitiveness, expanding market access, and ensuring product quality. In the digital age, business legality not only serves as legal protection but also opens up opportunities for wider access to various digital platforms, making it easier for business owners to reach global markets (Nicolas K.P. Adams,2023). This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a narrative method, employing data collection techniques such as field observation, in-depth interviews with MSME actors, and documentation including notes, archives, and activity photos. The research results show that the majority of MSME actors in Gunung Kijang Village do not yet have a Business Identification Number (NIB) or a Home Industry Food Permit (PIRT), which means their participation in the formal market is still very limited. This condition becomes even more challenging when faced with a global market that demands adequate access to information, training, and bookkeeping. However, this KKN program was able to encourage MSME actors to utilize digital technology as a means of promotion and marketing, while also raising awareness of the importance of business legality in business development. Thus, this activity has a sustainable positive impact on community empowerment, particularly in strengthening the position of MSMEs to become more competitive
Implementasi SWOT dalam Meningkatkan Daya Saing pada UMKM Perdana Semarang
Mapping a business using SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) is not only essential as an initial step before starting a business but also crucial when developing an existing business to ensure its sustainability. MSMEs operating in a competitive market must be able to adapt and respond to market and technological changes. This study was conducted through mentoring and training for MSMEs in Perdana Semarang on implementing SWOT analysis to enhance their competitiveness. The activity aims to provide an understanding of the importance of SWOT analysis for MSMEs and to teach how to map a SWOT matrix for their business. In practice, participants were involved in identifying relevant strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, analyzing these factors, and mapping appropriate strategies. The implementation of adaptation to changes was done by developing products and services, innovating better than competitors, creatively seeking capital, expanding business networks, and gaining support from various parties. SWOT analysis serves as a method to identify and analyze internal and external factors affecting a business, helping businesses prepare for uncertain market conditions.
Adolescence is a very important transitional phase marked by significant physical, psychological, and social changes. These changes are prone to delinquent behavior, especially in today's digital age. Adolescent delinquency is not only in the form of conventional behaviors such as truancy and gang fights as before, but also in digital forms such as cyberbullying, gadget addiction, and social media abuse. This research and community service project aims to understand the definition, causes, impacts, and prevention strategies for juvenile delinquency in the digital age through outreach activities conducted by students participating in the Raja Ali Haji Maritime University's Community Service Program (KKN) at MTs Teluk Sasah. The outreach method involved presenting material and interactive discussions with students. The results of this activity showed an increase in students' understanding and awareness of juvenile delinquency and the need for the family's role in guiding them. The factors that drive juvenile delinquency can be categorized into internal factors (from within the self) and external factors (from the environment). These factors have impacts that include a decline in academic achievement, mental health disorders, and weakened social interaction. These activities have implications for the formation of collective awareness to protect adolescents from the negative influences of the digital age, while optimizing the potential of technology as a means of positive self-development.
Pemanfaatan Sampah Plastik untuk Produksi Eco-Bricks sebagai Hiasan Kebun Mini di Desa Teluk Sasah
Ecobricking is an innovative approach to waste management that involves processing inorganic waste, particularly plastics, into durable ecobrick products. This practice has been successfully implemented in Desa Teluk Sasah, Seri Kuala Lobam District, Bintan Regency, by the KKN 40 Desa Teluk Sasah team from Maritim Raja Ali Haji University in 2025. Plastic waste continues to dominate the waste stream in coastal areas and surrounding regions of Desa Teluk Sasah, making the ecobrick initiative highly relevant and impactful. Currently, there are three active Waste Banks operating in the village, which provided group 40 with significant support from the village government to develop and manage an inclusive and effective ecobrick program. The realization of the University’s flagship program “Maritime Resources” brought together various stakeholders, including the village government, local residents, and pioneering Waste Banks, to ensure the sustainability of this initiative. Through collaborative efforts, the ecobrick program has run smoothly, producing tangible benefits such as reducing plastic pollution, fostering creativity among community members, and promoting environmental awareness. In addition to waste management, the program integrates land use practices by planting chili and kale plants in ecobrick-based gardens to improve local food security and enhance household income. This paper highlights the importance of ecobricking as an innovative and sustainable method to manage inorganic waste and support the development of green, productive spaces for the benefit of the entire community.
Kuliah Kerja Nyata: Strategi Pemberdayaan UMKM melalui Inovasi Produk Rumah Tangga dan Pelatihan Kecantikan
The Community Service Program (Kuliah Kerja Nyata, KKN) is a form of student engagement in society that plays a crucial role in bridging academic knowledge with practical needs in the field. This article discusses strategies for empowering Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) through KKN activities carried out in Desa Sei Mencirim, Kecamatan Sunggal, Kabupaten Deli Serdang. The empowerment program focuses on two main areas: household product innovation and beauty skill training. In terms of product innovation, students collaborated with the local community to produce the “Beningku” dishwashing soap, which requires minimal capital, involves a simple production process, yet holds significant economic value. The product received a positive response from housewives, as it can be used for personal needs or resold as an additional business opportunity. This approach provides the community with new insights on transforming simple materials into valuable products, while fostering local creativity and innovation. On the other hand, in the service skills domain, a beauty class in collaboration with the Mizzu brand provided makeup training for teenage girls and housewives. The training not only enhanced technical skills in makeup application but also encouraged participants to start local makeup service businesses. This activity promotes entrepreneurship and self-reliance while expanding skills that can be applied in daily life or as an additional source of income. The results indicate a significant increase in knowledge, skills, and entrepreneurial motivation among community members. In addition to providing economic benefits through new business opportunities, the KKN activities also strengthened community confidence, participation, and social solidarity. Through a participatory approach, KKN has proven to be an effective strategy in empowering village MSMEs by utilizing local potential and simple innovations, supporting not only economic growth but also enhancing social capacity and community competencies.
Peningkatan Pendapatan Petani Melalui Edukasi Pemanfaatan Pestisida Nabati Ramah di Lingkungan Berbasis Bahan Lokal
This community service activity aims to increase the income of farmers in Delima Jaya Village through education on the use of lemongrass-based botanical pesticides as an alternative to chemical pesticides. The main problems faced by farmers are high production costs and the health and environmental risks associated with the use of synthetic pesticides. The activity was carried out using a participatory method through surveys, outreach, training on botanical pesticide production, field mentoring, and program impact evaluation. The results showed that farmers were able to produce botanical pesticides independently at 80% lower costs than chemical pesticides. Field trials demonstrated the effectiveness of botanical pesticides in controlling pests, increasing crop yields by 10–15%, and increasing farmer incomes by up to IDR 3.5–3.8 million per planting season. The program also raised farmers' awareness of the importance of sustainable agricultural practices utilizing local resources. Overall, education on the use of lemongrass-based botanical pesticides has proven effective in reducing production costs, increasing farmer productivity and welfare, and supporting environmental sustainability. This local potential-based empowerment model can be replicated in other villages to create an environmentally friendly and competitive agricultural system. Additionally, the program fostered greater awareness among the farmers regarding the importance of sustainable agricultural practices, such as reducing the use of synthetic chemicals and leveraging locally available plants for pest control. This empowerment model, based on local potential, can be replicated in other villages to promote an environmentally friendly and economically viable agricultural system.
Pemanfaatan Kedelai menjadi Tempe untuk Keterampilan dan Kemandirian Masyarakat Desa Cahaya Makmur, Sungkai Jaya, Lampung Utara
Nutritious food plays an important role in maintaining health and increasing community productivity. However, protein consumption in Indonesia remains low despite the widespread cultivation of soybeans, the main source of vegetable protein. Tempe, a traditional soybean product, is highly nutritious, easy to produce, and popular among the community. In Hamlet 1 (Mangga Tiga), Cahaya Makmur Village, North Lampung, most residents grow soybeans but still buy tempe from outside the village. This indicates that the harvest has not been optimally utilized, either for consumption or economic purposes. To address this issue, students from the UIN Jurai Siwo Lampung Community Service Program (KKN), Period II Group 8, conducted training on tempeh production. The aim was to improve residents' skills in processing soybeans into nutritious food while also opening up business opportunities. The training lasted 43 days using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, involving the community in the stages of problem identification, planning, implementation, and evaluation. A total of 25 participants attended, consisting of housewives, village officials, and local residents. They practiced the entire tempeh-making process, from washing, soaking, boiling, adding yeast, to fermentation. The production results were high-quality tempeh with a white color, firm texture, and distinctive aroma. Participants responded positively, gained new knowledge, and were motivated to make tempeh independently and develop it into a small business. This activity successfully increased the utilization of soybean harvests and demonstrated the potential for food self-sufficiency and economic empowerment in Cahaya Makmur Village.
The “Haceri Management” community service program was initiated based on the problems faced by residents, namely cultivation that is still managed individually, limited technical skills in managing feed, and weak capital management and group organization. This activity aims to improve the capabilities of the Haceri community, both technically, socially, and institutionally, so that they can manage their farming businesses more effectively, flexibly, and sustainably. The method used is Participatory Action Research (PAR), in which the community is directly involved as the main actors in every stage, from planning and implementation to evaluation. The series of activities includes technical training in aquaculture, assistance in capital management, facilitation of group discussions, and local leadership development. The results of the activities show an increase in members' ability to manage feed, regulate the breeding process, and perform simple financial record-keeping. From a social perspective, new rules have emerged within the community, a collaborative way of working has developed, and more members are actively participating in group forums.

Pemberdayaan Kelompok Wanita Tani Melalui Pelatihan Shibori untuk Meningkatkan Ekonomi Kreatif Desa Jaya Asri, Kecamatan Metro Kibang, Kabupaten Lampung Timur
Empowering rural women through creative economic development is an important strategy in improving community independence and welfare. This study focuses on efforts to improve the skills of the Women Farmers Group (KWT) in Jaya Asri Village, Metro Kibang District, East Lampung, by providing training in tablecloth making based on the shibori technique. The method used is Participatory Action Research (PAR), which emphasizes the active involvement of KWT members in every stage of the activity.

The research conclusion confirms that shibori has the potential to be a gateway to creative economic development in villages. This potential can only be realized if it is supported by ongoing training, marketing support, and consistent institutional facilitation.
Penguatan Literasi Membaca Melalui Pojok Baca: Program Pengabdian di Desa Cempaka Barat
The reading corner program is one of the literacy strengthening strategies that is simple yet effective in encouraging elementary school students’ reading interest. The main problem underlying this activity is the low reading interest of elementary school students, who tend to spend more time playing than reading books. This condition affects the suboptimal development of a reading culture and students’ learning outcomes. The strength of the reading corner lies in its accessibility, flexibility in arrangement, and its ability to create a conducive, enjoyable learning atmosphere that is close to students’ daily lives. This community service aims to increase reading interest as well as to build a literacy culture at SD Negeri 2 Cempaka. The method used is Participatory Action Research (PAR), which includes planning, action implementation, observation, and evaluation to obtain comprehensive field data. The results show that the presence of the reading corner provides an alternative space for students to read before lessons or during breaks. Teachers are actively involved in guiding students, such as giving simple directions or asking them to retell the content of their reading. Students who initially preferred playing gradually became accustomed to reading independently. Other impacts observed include increased teacher involvement, the growth of book collections, and the establishment of a classroom environment that supports the School Literacy Movement (SLM). Thus, it can be concluded that the implementation of the reading corner program through the PAR approach has proven effective in fostering reading interest, strengthening literacy culture, and making a positive contribution to improving the learning quality of elementary school students.
