The objectives of this research are to assess the socio-economic impacts of these initiatives on the local community and evaluate their contributions to sustainable development. The research utilized a mixed-methods approach, collecting both qualitative and quantitative data from 150 households in the village through surveys and interviews. The findings indicate that ecotourism initiatives have generated a 30% increase in local income, attracting over 1,000 visitors annually and creating approximately 50 jobs. The ecoprint development activities have empowered 40 local artisans, resulting in a 25% increase in their income and the production of over 2,000 ecoprint items in the past year. Moreover, the implementation of appropriate waste management practices has led to a 40% reduction in local waste pollution, with 75% of households participating in waste segregation and recycling programs. Malaria eradication efforts have also shown significant results, with reported malaria cases decreasing by 60% over the last two years due to community engagement in health education and the distribution of insecticide-treated nets. This comprehensive approach to community empowerment not only enhances economic independence but also promotes environmental sustainability and public health. The success of these initiatives demonstrates the potential for rural communities in Indonesia to achieve sustainable development through participatory strategies that address both economic and health-related challenges. </em></p> Mohammad Basyuni Alfian Mubaraq Mubaraq Bejo Slamet Slamet Ahmad Baiquni Rangkuti Erni Jumilawaty Jumilawaty Deni Elfiati Elfiati Iwan Risnasari Risnasari Andi Aznan Aznawi Itchika Sivaipram Sivaipram Meutia Nauly Nauly Ameilia Zuliyanti Siregar Nurfida Khairina Arrasyid Kiking Ritarwan Ritarwan Arida Susilowati Susilowati Delvian Delvian Etti Sartina Siregar Diana Sofia Hanafiah Copyright (c) 2025 Mohammad Basyuni, Alfian Mubaraq, Bejo Slamet, Ahmad Baiquni Rangkuti, Erni Jumilawaty, Deni Elfiati, Iwan Risnasari, Andi Aznan Aznawi, Itchika Sivaipram, Meutia Nauly, Ameilia Zuliyanti Siregar, Nurfida Khairina Arrasyid, Kiking Ritarwan, Arida Susilowati, Delvian Delvian, Etti Sartina Siregar, Diana Sofia Hanafiah https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-02-13 2025-02-13 5 1 17 25 10.57152/consen.v5i1.1738 Processing of Livestock Waste into Manure in Mandiro Village, Bondowoso Regency Towards a Healthy Village https://journal.irpi.or.id/index.php/consen/article/view/1637 <p>Kotoran ternak mempengaruhi kesehatan manusia, kesehatan lingkungan, dan kesehatan ternak itu sendiri karena produksi gas beracun hasil pembakaran, kontaminasi tanah, dan pencemaran air. Pemanfaatan limbah peternakan sapi menjadi pupuk kandang merupakan solusi yang dapat diterapkan untuk menangani limbah kotoran ternak. Di Kecamatan Tegalampel, Kabupaten Bondowoso, sebanyak 8.706 ekor ternak sapi potong yang tercatat di Badan Pusat Statistik Dinas Peternakan Provinsi Jawa Timur. Populasi ternak yang tinggi menyebabkan sulitnya pengelolaan limbah ternak. Masyarakat Kecamatan Tegalampel umumnya membuang dan membakar limbah kotoran ternak pada pinggiran sungai sehingga terjadi penumpukan kotoran di area tersebut. Tim PPK Ormawa HIMA Gizi FKM UNEJ bekerja sama dengan perangkat desa dalam melaksanakan pelatihan dan pendampingan kepada masyarakat dan kader lingkungan yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat tentang pentingnya pengolahan limbah kotoran ternak menjadi pupuk. Pelatihan dilakukan dengan penyampaian materi tentang pengolahan limbah ternak menjadi pupuk kandang menggunakan metode leaflet dan demonstrasi kepada sebanyak 9 orang kader. Hasil<em> pre-test </em>dan<em> post-test</em> dapat diketahui jika terdapat peningkatan pengetahuan responden terkait pengolahan limbah kotoran ternak yang dijadikan pupuk kandang.</p> Syahrul Steven Dina Yusrotul Imamah Shofiya Amalia Syarifil Hidayatul Akbar Catryna Alfaidah Siti Nurhalisa Lailah Izza Fakhiroh Kirana Kirana Dewi Rokhmah Copyright (c) 2025 Syahrul Steven Steven, Dina Yusrotul Imamah Imamah, Shofiya Amalia Amalia, Syarifil Hidayatul Akbar Akbar, Catryna Alfaidah Alfaidah, Siti Nurhalisa Nurhalisa, Lailah Izza Fakhiroh Fakhiroh, Kirana Kirana Kirana, Dewi Rokhmah https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-05-11 2025-05-11 5 1 26 36 10.57152/consen.v5i1.1637 The Classpoint Utilization Training in Supporting differentied Instruction For Teacher of SMP 21 Dumai https://journal.irpi.or.id/index.php/consen/article/view/1800 <p><em>The results of the situation analysis show that the implementation of differentiated learning at SMPN 21 Dumai is not yet optimal, this is proven by the content indicators that teachers still depend on the material in books.&nbsp; Based on the problems faced, the solution that can be presented is Classpoint-Based Learning Media Training to Realize Differentiated Learning.

One of the main challenges they face is product marketing on social media, particularly in presenting appealing and appetizing food photos. In a previous community service program (PKM), UMKM Fellow Pages received photography training but continued to struggle with lighting and food styling techniques. Therefore, the author extended the training with a specific focus on food photography lighting, aiming to help SMEs produce more attractive and effective product photos for social media. </em><em>Food has evolved into a form of visual art on social media, where appealing food photos can enhance desirability and appeal. Food photography has a long history, beginning with daguerreotype techniques in the 19th century and evolving into the use of food images in cookbooks and magazines in the 20th century. Today, food photography is a highly effective marketing tool in the digital age. Research indicates that visually appealing images can stimulate consumer desire to purchase.</em> <em>The UMKM Fellow Pages community aims to improve members' skills in lighting techniques through training on the use of lighting modifiers. With improved skills, SMEs can produce sharper, more accurate, and visually attractive product photos. This is expected to enhance product competitiveness in the digital marketplace, build brand identity, and ultimately increase sales and economic well-being.</em></p> Silviana Tahalea Tahalea Elda Franzia Jasjfi Jasjfi FX.

However, there is still a lack of understanding about the Deep Learning approach, with some people thinking that Deep Learning is a curriculum, and many teachers still don’t understand how to plan and implement this approach in the classroom. This service in the form of socialization is carried out to provide teachers in Indonesia with an understanding of the implementation of Deep Learning in the digital era. The socialization was conducted online with approximately 800 participants, most teachers from various regions across Indonesia. The steps of the method used in this socialization include planning, the delivery of material, sharing during the Q&amp;A session, and reflection. This socialization helps teachers to get to know and understand Deep Learning. It can be implemented in the classroom, leading to positive changes in the learning process, which improves students’ learning outcomes to achieve the eight graduate profiles. The result of this socialization activity was met with enthusiasm from the participants, as shown by the positive feedback during the event, such as interactive Q&amp;A and responses from the participants, allowing them to mutually enrich each other’s learning, most of whom are teachers.</em></p> Chika Rahayu Hanifah Zakiya Ryna Aulia Falamy Muhammad Ubaidillah Yanuar Dwi Prastyo Lintang Fitra Utami Desrina Hardianti Rani Yosilia Copyright (c) 2025 Chika Rahayu Rahayu, Hanifah Zakiya Zakiya, Ryna A Falamy Falamy, Muhammad Ubaidillah, Yanuar Dwi Prasetyo, Lintang Fitra Utami, Desrina Hardiyanti, Rani Yosilia https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-05-29 2025-05-29 5 1 64 69 10.57152/consen.v5i1.2042 Socialization of Bilingual Method Integration in Teaching at Meilia Medika Vocational School" https://journal.irpi.or.id/index.php/consen/article/view/2038 <p><em>The purpose of this community service activity is to provide socialization about the integration of bilingual methods.

To create a bright future for Indonesia in the next 20 years, we must cultivate an outstanding young generation today by raising awareness of the importance of literacy and a reading culture among the youth. Literacy is not merely the technical ability to read and write, but goes beyond that—it includes the ability to understand, interpret, evaluate, and use information in order to participate actively in society. Once this awareness and mindset are formed, it is hoped that Indonesia's young generation will develop more productive habits by reading more books, thereby broadening their horizons, fostering a love for knowledge, cultivating curiosity, and developing critical thinking skills. This will help them become independent learners capable of responding to the increasingly complex challenges of the times. This community service activity employed a participatory action research method and was conducted with students of Madrasah Tsanawiyyah As-Syifa in West Bandung Regency. The activity took place on May 15, 2025. The students’ pre-test results showed an average score of 66.27. This finding indicates that the students had not yet fully understood the meaning of literacy or the importance of literacy and a reading culture. After being provided with education on the importance of literacy and reading habits, a post-test was administered. The results showed an increased average score of 83.09 and a calculated N-gain of 0.51, which falls into the medium category. These results indicate that students' understanding and awareness of the importance of literacy and a reading culture had improved.</em></p> Rahma Sakina Finka Mareta Copyright (c) 2025 Rahma Sakina, Finka Mareta https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-05-31 2025-05-31 5 1 112 119 10.57152/consen.v5i1.2063 Socialization in the Use of AI at SMPN 3 Ibun, Karyalaksana Village, Ibun District, Bandung https://journal.irpi.or.id/index.php/consen/article/view/2010 <p>Perkembangan kecerdasan buatan (Artificial Intelligence/AI) telah membawa perubahan signifikan dalam berbagai bidang, termasuk pendidikan.
