The fisheries sector represents one of Indonesia's leading potentials in supporting national economic growth, job creation, and contributing to foreign exchange through export activities. Indonesia is known as an archipelagic nation with abundant marine and fisheries resources, ranging from marine catches to aquaculture. However, this enormous potential has not been fully utilized optimally, particularly by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the fisheries sector. This mentoring is expected to encourage improvements in product quality, business legality, and competitiveness of businesses, particularly fisheries MSMEs, so they can adapt to export market demands. Furthermore, this activity also strengthens collaboration between the government, businesses, and other stakeholders in building an inclusive and sustainable export ecosystem.

Mental health problems among university students have shown an increasing trend, as evidenced by the high prevalence of anxiety, academic stress, and difficulties in emotion regulation, while access to structured psychological support services within universities and communities remains limited. This community service program aimed to provide psychoeducation on self-awareness and resilience in emotion regulation as an effort to strengthen the mental health support system for university students and the wider community in Berau Regency. The program was conducted on Saturday, November 29, 2025, at Universitas Muhammadiyah Berau through a collaboration between the Office of Population Control, Family Planning, Women's Empowerment, and Child Protection (DPPKBP3A) of Berau Regency and the Center for Gender Studies (PSG) of Universitas Muhammadiyah Berau.

The program employed psychoeducational lectures, interactive discussions, and pre-test and post-test questionnaires as its implementation methods. The results indicated an improvement in participants' understanding of self-awareness and emotion regulation strategies, as well as positive responses toward the sustainability of mental health assistance programs. This initiative highlights the importance of cross-sector collaboration between local government and higher education institutions in developing a sustainable mental health support ecosystem.

Tambaru, Nusbih Ismail, Ardian Nor; Delma Pratisa, Halimatus Sakdiyah — Fri, 17 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0800

Ketersediaan air merupakan faktor kritis bagi masyarakat agraris, terutama pada musim kemarau. Pembangunan embung menjadi solusi strategis untuk irigasi dan konservasi air. Namun, perencanaan infrastruktur sering menghadapi kendala sosial, seperti pembebasan lahan dan minimnya rasa kepemilikan masyarakat. Program pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk mensosialisasikan perencanaan teknis embung, menampung aspirasi, dan mengamankan komitmen hibah lahan dari masyarakat di Kabupaten Bone. Kegiatan dilaksanakan melalui Pertemuan Konsultasi Masyarakat-1 (PKM-1) pada 6 Oktober 2025, melibatkan pemerintah daerah, kelompok tani (P3A), tokoh masyarakat, dan pemilik lahan dari delapan desa sasaran. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan partisipatif melalui sosialisasi teknis, dialog interaktif, dan negosiasi langsung. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan tingginya dukungan masyarakat, dibuktikan dengan kesepakatan bulat untuk menghibahkan lahan tanpa ganti rugi, khususnya hibah lahan seluas 25 x 45 m di Desa Biru. Masyarakat juga menunjukkan rasa memiliki dan kesiapan untuk mengelola embung secara bersama-sama pasca-konstruksi. Model perencanaan partisipatif ini terbukti efektif dalam membangun rasa tanggung jawab, memitigasi sengketa lahan, dan mencegah vandalisme, sehingga menjamin keberlanjutan infrastruktur air pertanian.

Ira Indriani — Fri, 17 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0800

Creativity was an important aspect that needed to be developed from school age to support innovative thinking and children's self-confidence. This community service activity aimed to provide a space for creative expression for elementary, junior high, and senior high school students through a competition called the BentoFun Competition with the theme “One Cake, a Thousand Imaginations.” The activity was held on 12 July 2026, from 09.00 to 15.00 WITA, at Cafe Gavaria Durian III, Berau Regency. Participatory education and experiential learning methods were used, in which participants were directly involved in decorating and creating cakes according to their own imagination. Data were collected through observation of participant involvement, judges' assessment rubrics, and activity documentation, and were analyzed descriptively. The results showed high enthusiasm and participation among participants, with a variety of creative works reflecting different imaginative characteristics across age groups. The activity also had a positive impact, increasing participants' self-confidence, independence, and fine motor skills, with positive responses from parents and accompanying teachers. In conclusion, the BentoFun Competition was effective as a medium for developing the creativity of school-age children and has the potential to be replicated sustainably in other regions.

Implementation of the “Semut Narsis” Educational Innovation for Reducing Tuberculosis Stigma and Improving the Community Social Productivity Index

Ira Indriani; Andy Nuriyanto — Fri, 17 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0800

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health problem in Indonesia, and the stigma attached to the disease continues to be a key barrier to case finding and to the socio-economic recovery of survivors and their families. Elevated stigma tends to reduce social participation, work motivation, and the self-confidence of TB-affected families, thereby suppressing the Community Social Productivity Index (CSPI) in high-burden areas. This community engagement activity aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the “Semut Narsis” innovation, delivered through two educational modules, “Don’t Be Afraid to Have Your Sputum Checked” and “TB Patients and Families Have the Right to Remain Productive.” A pre-experimental one-group pre-test post-test design without a control group was applied to 206 families. Stigma was measured using an Indonesian-language adaptation of the Community Perspectives on Tuberculosis scale, while social productivity was assessed with the Community Social Productivity Index (CSPI) questionnaire. At baseline, 50.85% of families (n = 104) exhibited high stigma, 41.74% (n = 86) moderate stigma, and only 9.70% (n = 16) low stigma; this pattern paralleled a low social-productivity proportion of 48.05% (n = 99). Following structured education, the proportion with high stigma fell sharply to 4.36% (n = 9), while low stigma rose to 57.28% (n = 118); concurrently, high social productivity increased from 7.28% to 42.23% (n = 87) and low social productivity declined to 11.16% (n = 23). Wilcoxon signed-rank tests confirmed statistically significant pre–post differences for both stigma (Z = −4.519, p < 0.001) and CSPI (Z = −3.109, p < 0.001). Structured education substantially reduced TB-related stigma and concurrently promoted the recovery of community social productivity, indicating that the intervention is a viable candidate for replication and integration into routine TB-control programs.

Fri, 17 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0800

The assistance provided to the Papua Provincial Government regarding site selection for the Jayapura City Maritime Border Crossing Post (PLBL) was conducted to support a comprehensive process of identifying and assessing the feasibility of the site. The analysis covered spatial planning aspects, physical and environmental conditions, accessibility, socio-economic factors, service requirements, supporting infrastructure, security, and institutional arrangements. Three alternative sites were evaluated based on land suitability, geographical conditions, accessibility, infrastructure support, cross-border service potential, environmental risks, and community acceptance. The assessment process involved discussions and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with the Border Management Agency, the Regional Development Planning Agency (Bappeda), the Public Works Agency, the Naval Post, district and village governments, and relevant technical agencies. The evaluation and cross-sectoral discussions resulted in a consensus that Alternative Site I was the most suitable location for the PLBL. This site was deemed to possess relatively stable physical conditions, favorable topography, superior accessibility, spatial planning compatibility, and opportunities for integration with existing infrastructure and service networks. The selection of this site is expected to support improved connectivity, cross-border services, and security, as well as the sustainable development of the border area.

Penguatan Kesadaran Ekologis Masyarakat melalui Aksi Bersih Lingkungan Mapala Universitas Muhammadiyah Berau

Fri, 17 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0800

Artikel ini menganalisis Aksi Bersih Lingkungan 2026 bertema "Dari Jejak Pendaki Menuju Jejak Lestari" yang diinisiasi oleh Mapala Universitas Muhammadiyah Berau pada 19 Juni 2026 di kawasan bersejarah Keraton Sambaliung, tepian Sungai Kelay. Merespons rendahnya kesadaran kolektif terhadap ekosistem perairan, kegiatan ini mengadaptasi prinsip minim jejak ke ruang publik perkotaan. Menggunakan metode deskriptif-analitis, kajian ini mengevaluasi pelaksanaan aksi dalam kerangka teori kesadaran ekologis. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa kolaborasi multipihak lintas sektor terbukti efektif menghadirkan pendidikan lingkungan yang holistik—menggabungkan pengetahuan, pengalaman, dan aksi nyata. Pemilihan lokasi bersejarah juga sukses mengintegrasikan narasi pelestarian alam dengan kebanggaan warisan budaya lokal. Kegiatan ini memberikan dampak positif secara ekologis, edukatif, dan sosial-kelembagaan. Guna merespons tantangan keberlanjutan, artikel ini merekomendasikan edukasi masyarakat yang berkesinambungan, pemantauan dampak jangka panjang secara sistematis, serta replikasi program di sepanjang Sungai Kelay dan Segah untuk memperluas skala perilaku pro-lingkungan di Kabupaten Berau.

Pendidikan dan Pelatihan (Diklat) bagi Calon Pasukan Pengibar Bendera Pusaka (Paskibraka) merupakan instrumen strategis dalam pembentukan karakter, disiplin, dan jiwa kepemimpinan generasi muda di tingkat daerah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan dan menganalisis secara mendalam proses pemusatan pendidikan dan pelatihan calon Paskibraka di Kabupaten Berau tahun 2025. Fokus utama penelitian mencakup internalisasi nilai-nilai "BerAKHLAK", pengembangan ketahanan fisik, serta penguatan mentalitas kebangsaan di tengah dinamika pergaulan generasi digital. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kualitatif dengan teknik observasi partisipatif, wawancara mendalam, dan studi dokumentasi selama masa karantina di SM Tower Berau. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa diklat ini berhasil mengintegrasikan aspek kognitif (wawasan kebangsaan), afektif (sikap dan nilai etika), dan psikomotorik (keterampilan baris-berbaris). Pendekatan "Pembelajaran Aktif" yang diterapkan instruktur mampu mendorong nalar kritis dan public speaking peserta. Nilai-nilai kedisiplinan, toleransi antar-peserta dari berbagai kecamatan, dan rasa nasionalisme yang ditanamkan selama masa pemusatan memberikan dampak transisional yang signifikan terhadap kematangan emosional dan manajerial peserta. Program ini terbukti sangat efektif sebagai kawah candradimuka untuk kaderisasi kepemimpinan pemuda yang berwawasan kebangsaan dan berintegritas di Kabupaten Berau.

Rabiatul Adawiyah, Muhammad Azwar Ramadani, Jevon Ona Ivena — Fri, 17 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0800

This community service activity facilitated public consultation for the environmental impact assessment of the planned development and operation of Datu Sanggul Regional General Hospital in Tapin Regency, Indonesia. It aimed to identify environmental and social issues expressed through written and oral public input and to examine their relevance to environmental impact assessment scoping. A descriptive qualitative case study was applied to nine written public-input forms, documented oral input, meeting records, consultation materials, and the draft scoping form. The data were coded and thematically compared without treating written and oral records as unique respondents. Written input documented individual concerns and expectations concerning wastewater, runoff, hazardous waste, construction disturbance, local employment, and health services. Oral dialogue added location-specific and technical details concerning downstream settlements, the Batung River, nighttime noise, the retention pond, technical planning documents, and grievance channels. The complementary channels improved the traceability of community concerns into potential-impact evaluation. Combining accessible written forms, facilitated dialogue, and transparent follow-up was therefore important for community service based on environmental expertise and for more substantive public involvement.

Guidance on Post-Harvest Management, Fermentation Technology, and Sustainable Cocoa Downstreaming to Meet Export Market Standards in Kampung Merasa, Kelay District, Berau Regency

Fri, 17 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0800

Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) in Merasa Village, Kelay District, Berau Regency, holds a critical position within East Kalimantan's plantation sector, backed by a total regional cocoa land area of 1,061.10 Ha producing 514,488.00 kg of dry beans annually. However, local farmers face extreme economic vulnerability due to a drastic 45% price collapse in non-fermented beans between January and April 2026 (falling from Rp 55,000/kg to Rp 25,000/kg), while fermented cocoa maintains a substantial price premium reaching Rp 100,000/kg. This Community Service program aims to empower cocoa farmers in Merasa Village through intensive training on Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), standardized wooden box fermentation, moisture content control (7–7.5%), and artisan chocolate processing. Using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, the program successfully increased farmers' knowledge by 85%, standardized physical bean quality for export markets, and established value-added local craft chocolate products. This initiative mitigates market price volatility, captures a 185%–300% price margin, and fortifies Kampung Merasa’s position as a sustainable premium cocoa producer.
