In an era increasingly filled with climate change and environmental damage, village garbage management has emerged as one of the significant challenges to overcome. This article describes environmental conservation efforts through wise waste management practices in Cangkring Village, Karanganyar Subdistrict, Demak Regency. Ecological harmony is the foundation, reminding us of the importance of maintaining a balance between human activity and nature. Waste management in villages is not only about reducing the negative impact on the environment but also about creating a balanced relationship between man and nature. In order to preserve the environment in Cangkring village, some efforts have been made to provide trash drums as a waste disposal medium and a banner to the Cangkring village community to dispose of the garbage at its place. The garbage is then processed at a disposal site so that the result can be utilized.

The sustainable patchouli cultivation development program aims to promote community-driven agricultural practices through academic support from higher education institutions. Implemented in Teuladan Village, Aceh Besar Regency, the program utilizes the Triple Helix collaboration model, engaging academia, the community, and industry to ensure long-term sustainability. By employing a participatory approach, the initiative provides mentoring activities, including training on cultivation techniques, land management, and market dynamics for patchouli oil. Prospective farmers are selected through the CFCL (Candidate Farmers and Candidate Locations) questionnaire, which evaluates readiness based on skills, institutional organization, availability of extension workers, use of fuel for oil distillation, and commitment levels. The program aims to enhance farmers' knowledge and skills in producing high-quality patchouli, with a focus on Aceh Besar and extending across the Aceh region. By fostering sustainable agricultural practices and improving production quality, the initiative seeks to elevate community welfare and support the economic resilience of rural areas.

The rehabilitation of irrigation pumps plays a crucial role in ensuring sufficient water availability for rice fields in Gampong Limpong, Darussalam District. A significant challenge faced by farmers in this region is the malfunctioning of irrigation pumps, which leads to suboptimal water distribution. This issue directly affects agricultural productivity and the welfare of farmers. Through rehabilitation efforts, damaged pumps are either repaired or replaced with more efficient units. The rehabilitation process involves the identification of damages, repair of key components, and operational trials to verify optimal pump performance. Results from this initiative indicate a more stable availability of irrigation water, thereby enhancing crop yields for farmers. This rehabilitation not only offers technical solutions but also fosters active community involvement in maintaining the sustainability of the irrigation system. Consequently, this program contributes positively to the development of the agricultural sector in Gampong Limpok.

Household waste management in Sorong Regency, especially in Arar Village, faces major challenges in reducing negative impacts on the environment. One effective solution is processing organic waste into liquid organic fertilizer (POC). This fertilizer not only reduces the amount of waste but can also increase soil fertility and support more sustainable agriculture. The Community Service Program (PKM) implemented in Arar Village aims to provide training to the community, farmer groups, and PKK mothers on how to make POC from household waste. The methods used in this program include socialization, training, and direct practice of making liquid organic fertilizer using natural ingredients and bioactivators such as EM4. After the training, 80 percent of participants successfully applied the knowledge gained to produce liquid organic fertilizer, which has been proven to increase agricultural yields and support environmental sustainability. The evaluation results show that this program provides significant benefits in reducing dependence on chemical fertilizers and increasing public awareness of the importance of environmentally friendly waste management.

-This community service program aims to improve quantitative research competency of Management students through Partial Least Squares (PLS) training in writing theses. Using the PAR-ADDIE blended learning model, this program involved 120 participants with a real case study of PT. Ritel Indonesia Jaya. The results showed a significant increase: the post-test score increased by 35.8 points (from 42.5 to 78.3) with knowledge retention of 71.4% after 3 months. The implementation of PLS in 30 theses resulted in a convergent validity (AVE>0.6) of 92% and a composite reliability of 0.85. The economic impact is reflected in the ROI of 214%, which was obtained through: 18% increase in customer retention rate of industry partners (+Rp8.2 billion/year), Research cost savings of Rp1.3 billion, and Operational efficiency of Rp950 million. The formation of a community of practitioners (153 active members) and 28 new case studies in 4 months indicate an undesirable program. Key challenges include the adaptation of SmartPLS 4.2 technology and the need for hybrid data integration. The program demonstrates the effectiveness of triple helix collaboration in bridging academia-industry, while providing a replicable model for data-driven methodological capacity development in higher education

Community service activities in Meunasah Teungoh Village aim to increase community participation in the Development Planning Deliberation (Musrenbang) through the use of digital technology, especially WhatsApp groups. This study adopted a participatory approach involving all elements of society, including traditional leaders, youth, and women, to ensure inclusivity in the development planning process. The methods used included an initial survey to identify the level of community awareness and digital literacy, digital literacy training, and collecting aspirations through the polling feature in the WhatsApp group. The results of the activities showed a significant increase in community participation, from 40% in 2023 to 72% in 2024, with a total of 58 proposals collected. The community satisfaction survey also showed that 85% of residents were satisfied with the transparency of information conveyed through the WhatsApp group. However, 15% of residents were dissatisfied, indicating room for improvement. This study concludes that the use of digital technology can strengthen community participation in the development planning process and recommends the need for mitigation strategies to address dissatisfaction and increase accessibility for all residents. This activity is expected to be a model for other villages in implementing the principles of participatory and sustainable development.
