Packaging is key for a product to sell and add value. Therefore, MSMEs need to innovate, especially in packaging, such as changing the design, materials, and colors. The purpose of this activity is to enable lecturers and students to carry out one of the Tridharma of Higher Education, namely community service. It can provide facilities to the community on how to innovate in packaging. It is hoped that through this activity, participants, especially MSMEs, can apply innovation to their product packaging, so they can reach a wider market and compete globally. If the product packaging design is attractive, it will support the product to sell better. This can enable MSMEs to gain greater profits. The target of this community service activity is aimed at MSMEs in Surabaya to provide knowledge in innovating design on product packaging. In addition, in this service activity, MSMEs are also provided with knowledge and ways to conduct digital marketing to support their business activities.

PENINGKATAN KUALITAS JALAN PONDOK PESANTREN ‘AINUL HAYAH MELALUI PELATIHAN PEMBUATAN PAVING BLOCK

Tue, 12 May 2026 11:23:41 +0000

The internal road access at Ainul Hayah Islamic Boarding School in Deli Serdang remains unpaved, leading to slippery and muddy conditions during the rainy season and increasing safety risks for students and the surrounding community. Limited financial resources also constrain the implementation of conventional pavement solutions. This community service program aims to improve road quality through participatory training in the production and installation of paving blocks. The method employed a participatory and applicative approach, including preliminary surveys, hands-on training in manual paving block production, laboratory testing of compressive strength at 28 days, and field implementation of paving installation. The results show that participants were able to independently produce and install paving blocks, with compressive strength values generally ranging from quality D to approaching quality C based on SNI 03-0691-1996 standards. The installed pavement significantly improved road conditions, making them more stable, less muddy, and safer for daily use. In addition, the program enhanced participants’ technical skills, knowledge, and confidence, contributing to the community’s self-reliance in simple infrastructure development. This study demonstrates that participatory training combined with appropriate technology can effectively address infrastructure problems while empowering local communities, and it has strong potential for replication in similar educational and residential settings.

This community service activity aims to enhance active family involvement in the Community Research (Litmas) process as an effort to support the guidance of correctional clients at the Class I Correctional Center (Bapas) of Palu. The identified problem is that the role of families in the Litmas process remains limited, as families tend to function merely as formal guarantors and administrative data providers rather than active partners in the client guidance process. This activity was conducted through a descriptive qualitative approach based on community service, employing in-depth interviews with Community Supervisors and clients' families, as well as direct orientation sessions delivered to families during the Litmas process, in line with the mandate of Law Number 22 of 2022 on Corrections, which stipulates that correctional guidance shall be implemented through accompaniment, counseling, and supervision to prepare clients for social reintegration. The results indicate that family involvement in the Litmas process has not yet been running optimally, as not all guarantors are core family members who deeply understand the client's condition, supervision remains weak due to distance and time constraints, and no standardized mechanism exists for sustained family involvement beyond the Litmas schedule. Through the orientation sessions, families demonstrated improved understanding of their active role as guidance partners, and Community Supervisors confirmed that active family involvement positively impacts client behavioral change. This activity recommends strengthening intensive and sustainable family-based approaches by Community Supervisors to improve guidance effectiveness and correctional clients' social reintegration.
