Integrating Artificial Intelligence and Digital Marketing To Enhance Msme Competitiveness in Geotourism: A Participatory Training Model in The Pangandaran Geopark
type: item
description: This community service program aims to enhance the competitiveness of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) engaged in geotourism within the Aspiring Pangandaran Geopark through the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital marketing using a participatory training model. MSMEs in the region face challenges such as limited digital innovation, inadequate technological access, and low capability in social media-based promotion. To address these issues, the program applied a participatory approach and speculative design thinking involving MSME owners, academics, and tourism destination managers in collaborative learning. The training consisted of three main modules: (1) digital literacy and cybersecurity for entrepreneurs, (2) the use of AI in digital marketing strategies (AI-driven storytelling, content generation, and consumer analytics), and (3) creative promotional artifact development based on local geodiversity and biodiversity. The results indicate significant improvements in participants’ ability to create digital content, understand online market opportunities, and utilize basic AI tools (chatbots, image generators, and social media analytics) to expand promotional reach. The participatory training model demonstrated positive social impacts, including strengthened MSME community networks, increased visibility of geopark-based products, and contributions to sustainable local economic development. The findings confirm that integrating AI and digital literacy represents an innovative strategy for community-based MSME empowerment in geopark areas.

Revitalization of Educational Information Media in Batur UNESCO Global Geopark Using QR-Code and Web-Based Augmented Reality
type: item
description: Batur UNESCO Global Geopark in Bali represents a significant natural and cultural heritage area with high educational value. However, the existing information delivery system primarily relies on static information boards, which are less effective in engaging visitors, particularly younger generations accustomed to digital technology. This community service project aims to revitalize educational information media in Batur Geopark through the integration of QR-code technology and Web-based Augmented Reality (WebAR). The implementation method includes needs analysis with geopark stakeholders, design of QR-code-based educational media, development of 3D models representing key geosite elements (Mount Batur, Kintamani dog, and Trunyan village), and integration into a WebAR platform accessible via smartphones. The system was evaluated through user testing involving students, tourists, and local communities to assess usability, accessibility, and learning effectiveness. The results demonstrate that the proposed system enhances user engagement and improves understanding of geological, ecological, and cultural information. The combination of QR-code and interactive 3D visualization provides a more immersive and flexible learning experience compared to conventional methods. Additionally, the approach supports environmentally friendly information dissemination and promotes sustainable geotourism education. This study highlights the potential of digital technology integration in strengthening educational functions within geopark areas and serves as a model for similar implementations in other geotourism destinations.

AI-Powered Market Insight and the Transformation of Local Entrepreneurship: Evidence from SMEs in Purwakarta, Indonesian
type: item
description: This study examines how AI-powered market insight contributes to the transformation of local entrepreneurship, focusing on SMEs in Purwakarta, Indonesia. Despite increasing digital adoption, many SMEs remain unable to utilize data for strategic decision-making. A qualitative case study approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis, and analyzed using thematic analysis supported by systematic coding procedures. The findings reveal that while SMEs are digitally active, their use of technology remains largely operational rather than strategic. Entrepreneurs rely heavily on experience-based decision-making, with limited capability to interpret and utilize market data. As a result, business strategies tend to be reactive, leading to inconsistent market visibility and limited competitiveness. The study demonstrates that the impact of AI on entrepreneurial transformation is indirect, mediated through market insight capability and decision-making processes. This study contributes to the literature by highlighting that the transformation of local entrepreneurship requires not only digital adoption but also the development of data-driven capabilities. The findings provide implications for policymakers and practitioners in designing targeted interventions to support SMEs in leveraging AI for sustainable growth..

AI-Based Market Intelligence as a Strategic Tool for Local MSME Development in West Java
type: item
description: Local Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Purwakarta, particularly ceramic craftsmen in Plered District, have strong potential to contribute to regional economic growth and enter broader export markets. However, they still face several major problems, including inconsistent product quality, limited design innovation, weak packaging standards, insufficient branding, limited digital marketing capacity, and low readiness to meet export market requirements. The gap identified in this activity is the limited integration between traditional ceramic production practices and modern market-oriented strategies, especially in quality control, product differentiation, digital promotion, and export preparation. Current developments show that MSME competitiveness is increasingly influenced by product innovation, digital marketing, branding, packaging quality, and export readiness. Therefore, this community service activity applied a participatory mentoring approach through field observation, discussion, consultation, and practical recommendations for ceramic craftsmen in Plered. The proposed solution focused on strengthening product quality, improving design and packaging, developing brand identity, optimizing digital marketing, and preparing MSMEs for export-oriented market access. The results indicate that the mentoring activity increased the awareness of ceramic craftsmen regarding product competitiveness, market standards, and the importance of continuous innovation. In conclusion, ceramic MSMEs in Plered have strong potential to improve their competitiveness in the export market when supported by consistent mentoring, quality standardization, strategic branding, digital promotion, and collaboration between higher education institutions, local industry, and community stakeholders.

Legal Counseling on Occupational Health and Safety (OSH) as an Effort to Protect Students in Practice
type: item
description: Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) is an important aspect in creating a safe campus environment, but its implementation still needs to be improved in various academic activities. The main problem at STIKes Flora is the lack of student awareness in applying Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) procedures during practical activities, such as using personal protective equipment and complying with standard operating procedures (SOPs), which can create potential work hazards. To address this problem, it is necessary to conduct legal counseling activities on occupational safety and health through coordination with the campus and student affairs departments. The implementation methods include interactive lectures, group discussions, case study presentations, and Q&A sessions. The material covers the legal basis and concepts of occupational safety and health (OSH), the application of OSH in student practical activities, and handling workplace accidents and emergency response. The results of this PKM activity show that OSH counseling effectively increases the knowledge and awareness of STIKes Flora students regarding the importance of implementing work safety standards during practical activities in both laboratories and field practice.

Strengthening Public Legal Critical Awareness Through The Book Launch of "Mengapa Hukum Dipermainkan?" Why Is The Law Manipulated?
type: item
description: The low level of legal understanding among the public is one of the main reasons why law can easily be manipulated by those in power. Communities that are unaware of their rights tend to accept injustice without resistance. Arising from this condition, this community service activity was carried out through the launch and book discussion of "Mengapa Hukum Dipermainkan?" [Why Is the Law Manipulated?] by Eka Putra Zakran, SH., MH., as a means of education and strengthening the public’s critical attitude toward the existing legal system. The event was attended by participants from various backgrounds, ranging from students, community leaders, and members of advocate organizations to local government representatives. The implementation methods included an open book launch, a book discussion session, interactive discussions, and a direct question-and-answer session with the author and resource persons. The results showed a significant increase in participants’ understanding of their legal rights, as well as the growth of a critical attitude in evaluating law enforcement processes in their surroundings. This program is expected to serve as a starting point for the formation of a legally literate society that is willing to question injustice.

Shop Smart, Stay Safe: Marketplace Safety Education for Students at SMP Negeri 8 Jakarta
type: item
description: The dominance of the younger generation correlates with high exposure of adolescents to the digital ecosystem (social media and e-commerce), which is saturated with promotions, influencers, and hidden advertisements. This increases the risk of impulsive purchases, fraud, and exposure to online lending/pay later services without adequate understanding. The community service program "Wise Online Shopping" is designed to improve digital literacy and basic financial literacy among junior high school students in Jakarta through an interactive educational approach that aligns with the characteristics of Gen Z/Alpha. The intervention is based on the Stimulus–Organism–Response (S-O-R) framework, with the stimulus being exposure to critical material expected to change students' cognition, emotions, and attitudes, leading to a response of more reflective shopping decisions. The activity was conducted at SMP Negeri 8 Jakarta Pusat on Thursday, December, 11th, 2025 for students in grades VII–VIII (ages 12–14) using a one-group pre-post design with quantitative data (pretest–posttest questionnaires) and qualitative data (observation, written reflection, and group discussion). The material covers online transaction security, identifying advertisements/influencers, scam risks, the dangers of illegal online lending, and child protection aspects in electronic systems. The relevance of the legal aspect is reinforced by Law No. 1 of 2024, which emphasizes the obligation of Electronic System Operators to provide age limit information, child user verification, and abuse reporting mechanisms. The results showed an increase in post-intervention knowledge and a moderate decrease in impulsive buying tendencies, accompanied by increased caution toward influencers and rejection of online lending as a solution for consumption.

Communication and Health In Drug Addict Rehabilitation: Criminal Instruments To Health Law Services
type: item
description: Drug abuse in Indonesia should no longer be viewed solely as a criminal issue, but also as a health, social, psychological and humanitarian problem requiring comprehensive treatment. This community service activity aimed to improve public understanding regarding rehabilitation as a health-based approach for drug addicts and to strengthen awareness of restorative justice and social reintegration. The activity was conducted at Wisma Bhisma YAKITA, Ciawi Bogor, on May 23, 2026, involving drug addicts undergoing rehabilitation, former addicts in recovery, families, healthcare workers, counsellors, academics, students, and community members. The program applied a participatory educational method integrating health communication and health law approaches. The materials included rehabilitation law, restorative justice, therapeutic communication, community-based recovery, aftercare, and the 12 Steps Recovery Program. The implementation methods consisted of interactive lectures, group discussions, motivational counselling, psychosocial approaches, experience sharing, and case-based presentations. The results showed that participants initially viewed rehabilitation mainly as an alternative punishment rather than a comprehensive recovery process. After the program, participants demonstrated improved understanding regarding addiction as a chronic health condition requiring long-term recovery, empathetic communication, family support, and sustainable aftercare. The activity also highlighted the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration among families, healthcare workers, rehabilitation institutions, communities, and law enforcement agencies in creating a humane and justice-oriented rehabilitation system.

Legal Education for MMU Students: Harmonization of Digital Health Service Regulations between Indonesia and Malaysia
type: item
description: The digital transformation in healthcare through telemedicine, electronic medical records, and application-based platforms has significantly improved access and efficiency, yet it also raises critical legal challenges related to patient data protection, professional liability, and legal certainty. Differences in regulatory approaches between Indonesia and Malaysia highlight the need for comparative legal analysis and regulatory harmonization to ensure a safe, ethical, and sustainable digital health ecosystem. This Community Service Program aims to enhance the legal literacy of students at Multimedia University (MMU), Malaysia, while strengthening comparative understanding of digital health law in Indonesia and Malaysia. The program employs an educational capacity-building approach through international seminars, regulatory harmonization workshops, and case-based academic discussions. It also produces academic outputs, including learning modules, teaching materials, scientific publications, video documentation, and intellectual property submissions. The results demonstrate both empirical success and philosophical significance. Empirically, students’ understanding of telemedicine, data protection, and professional responsibility improved significantly, as shown by pre- and post-test evaluations. Philosophically, the program reflects the lag of law, Radbruch’s triad of legal values, and Rawls’ theory of justice by promoting equal access to legal knowledge. It also embodies Roscoe Pound’s concept of law as social engineering and applies legal hermeneutics through contextual interpretation. The comparative approach underscores the urgency of legal harmonization, while the constructivist learning model strengthens critical legal awareness. Furthermore, through the Integrative-Tetradic Realism Theory, the program integrates normative, social, moral, and empirical dimensions, contributing to a dynamic and justice-oriented legal education paradigm in the digital era.

Critical Discourse Analysis Innovation of Sekolah Rakyat for Educational Solutions in Indonesia
type: item
description: The gap in access to education in Indonesia remains a serious problem, especially for low-income or poor families. To address this issue, the government launched Sekolah Rakyat Program, as a strategy for educational equality that emphasizes inclusiveness and social justice. This study analyzes the discourse on Sekolah Rakyat Menengah Pertama 9, Bandung Indonesia policy using Norman Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), which encompasses three dimensions: text analysis, discursive practice, and social practice. Data was obtained through a documentary study of policy documents, online media coverage, and statements from school and government officials. The results show that in the text dimension, the use of diction such as free and digital-based education builds the image of a friendly and inclusive nation. In the discursive practice dimension, discourse is produced and disseminated by the government through the media to strengthen the positive political legitimacy of its results. In the social practice dimension, this program presents itself as a response to inequality and disparities in education while simultaneously creating a new social practice in the form of inclusive and dignified digital education in Indonesia. Critically, this study concludes that Sekolah Rakyat Program is not only an education policy, but also an instrument of ideological legitimacy and political hegemony, that shapes the narrative of a positive direction for educational equality in Indonesia.

Reconstructing Culture-Based Tourism through Experiential Cultural Communication: Community Empowerment among the Bali Aga Community in Tenganan Pegringsingan Village, Bali
type: item
description: The transformation of global tourism has shifted the paradigm from mass tourism to experience tourism, emphasizing meaningful experiences as the core value of travel activities. In this context, culture is no longer viewed merely as a tourism attraction but as a communication medium that creates memorable experiences for visitors. Tenganan Pegringsingan Village in Karangasem Regency, Bali, as one of the oldest Bali Aga communities that preserves its traditional social system, customary law (awig-awig), religious rituals, Mekare-kare (Pandan War) tradition, and Gringsing weaving heritage, possesses significant potential for the development of experiential cultural tourism. However, the growth of the tourism industry has also generated challenges, including cultural commodification, diminishing symbolic meanings of traditions, and the predominance of attraction-oriented tourism management over participatory cultural experiences. This community engagement program aims to reconstruct a cultural tourism model through the Experiential Cultural Communication approach, integrating cultural preservation, experiential communication, and community empowerment. The program employed participatory methods, including participatory observation, focus group discussions (FGDs), cultural storytelling training, cultural interpretation assistance, and capacity-building activities for local communities in managing community-based tourism communication. The findings reveal that Bali Aga culture can function as a medium of experiential communication that generates sensory, emotional, intellectual, relational, and transformational experiences for visitors. This approach not only strengthens the cultural identity of the Tenganan Pegringsingan community but also promotes sustainable tourism centered on local participation. The Experiential Cultural Communication model offers a strategic alternative for preserving cultural authenticity while enhancing educational, participatory, and sustainabl…
