PEMBERDAYAAN MASYARAKAT MELALUI PROGRAM BANK SAMPAH SEBAGAI UPAYA PENINGKATAN KESADARAN PENGELOLAAN SAMPAH DI DESA KEDUNG PENGAWAS KECAMATAN BABELAN KABUPATEN BEKASI
Household waste remains an environmental challenge faced by many regions, including Kedung Pengawas Village, Babelan Subdistrict, Bekasi Regency. Low community awareness of waste separation and management has led to an increase in waste generation with potential negative impacts on the environment. This community service activity aims to raise public awareness about the importance of waste management through a community-based waste bank empowerment program. The methods used include field observation, problem identification, program planning, implementation of activities, and evaluation. The program was carried out by establishing waste bank facilities on June 7, 2026, and conducting outreach and education on waste management on June 13, 2026, involving 14 students from Universitas Bhayangkara Jakarta Raya's Community Service Program (Kuliah Kerja Nyata). The results indicate that the waste bank program was able to improve the community's understanding of the importance of waste separation, household waste management, and the utilization of waste with economic value. The community's enthusiasm and participation during the activities demonstrate increased environmental awareness and readiness to support more sustainable waste management. This program is a first step toward encouraging community participation in community-based environmental management and supporting a cleaner, healthier environment in Kedung Pengawas Village.

Community service through the Student Community Service Program (KKN) is a form of higher education contribution to help communities address various social issues in their local environment. The KKN program of Group 42 in Kedung Pengawas Village, Babelan District, Bekasi Regency, was implemented to respond to community needs in three main areas: children’s financial literacy, strengthening micro-enterprise identity, and improving community digital literacy. This topic was chosen because children still had limited understanding of financial management from an early age, micro-enterprise actors faced constraints in building their business image, and cases of digital fraud that harmed the community were increasing. The implementation methods included field observation, community needs identification, and a participatory approach through the “Gerakan Gemar Menabung” program for elementary school students, UMKM rebranding assistance through banner creation, and digital scam prevention education for residents. The results showed an increase in children’s understanding of the importance of saving, improved visual appeal and business identity for UMKM, and greater community awareness of online fraud schemes. This activity demonstrates that KKN programs designed according to community needs can provide tangible benefits in supporting.

UPAYA MENINGKATKAN PARTISIPASI BAPAK-BAPAK DALAM DOA BERSAMA MELALUI PENDEKATAN KATEKESE DI KBG BUNDA PENGHIBUR ORANG BERDUKA CITA WERI
Participation in church life, especially in communal prayer activities at the Basic Ecclesial Community (KBG) level, is an important aspect of strengthening faith. However, in reality, not all members actively participate, particularly adult men. This situation is also found in KBG Bunda Penghibur Orang Berduka Cita Weri, where the attendance of men in communal prayer activities is still relatively low. This study aims to understand the factors behind the low participation of men and to examine how a catechetical approach can help improve their involvement. The research uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that the low participation of men is influenced by work commitments, fatigue, and a lack of interest in activities that are perceived as too rigid. Through a more relaxed, dialogical, and life-oriented catechetical approach, men begin to feel more comfortable and gradually show increased involvement. Therefore, a contextual and participatory catechetical approach can be an effective way to enhance the participation of community members, especially men, in communal prayer activities at the KBG level.

This study aims to determine the role of audio-visual media in increasing the involvement of SEKAMI children in faith activities at St. Ignatius Waibalun Parish. The background of this study is based on the low participation and active involvement of children in SEKAMI activities, which tend to be monotonous and less attractive. Therefore, innovation in faith formation methods is needed through the use of more interactive and engaging audio-visual media. This study employed a Community Service (PKM) approach with participatory, educational, and applicative models. The activities were carried out through the stages of preparation, implementation, mentoring, and evaluation. The audio-visual media used included spiritual videos, Biblical animation films, and religious songs in faith formation activities. The results showed that the use of audio-visual media was able to increase children’s enthusiasm, participation, and active involvement in SEKAMI faith activities. In addition, children were able to understand the material more easily through attractive visual and audio presentations. Therefore, audio-visual media has a significant role in supporting the faith formation process of SEKAMI children and can serve as a creative and effective method for children’s faith mentors.

Community Service (PkM) activities targeting children at the Santa Perawan Maria Wutunglolo-Krokovolor Hati Tak Bernoda Station are one of the most important activities in fostering children's religious character. This can be done because currently many children have minimal religious character. They behave badly, are not active in spiritual activities such as prayer at KBG, do not attend mass on Sundays. In addition, they always use dirty words, are dishonest, undisciplined, always disobey parents and teachers' orders, and often fight. This activity can be carried out so that it aims to improve the religious character of children at the Santa Perawan Maria Wutunglolo-Krokovolor Hati Tak Bernoda Station through religious character development.

The children's religious character is firmly rooted in the teachings of the Catholic Church and will become outstanding individuals in the future.
POTENSI DAN PENGEMBANGAN SEKTOR PERTANIAN DI DESA LUBA DUSUN II, KECAMATAN LEMBUR, KABUPATEN ALOR
This study aims to analyse the potential of the agricultural sector in Luba Village, Dusun II, and to identify development strategies with a view to improving the welfare of the community. The methods employed include field observations, interviews with village officials, and the collection of secondary data from village profiles and relevant agencies. The research findings indicate that Luba Village, Dusun II possesses significant agricultural potential, particularly in food crops, horticulture, and smallholder plantations. The availability of fertile land, favourable climatic conditions, and the local community’s knowledge are the main supporting factors in the development of the agricultural sector. However, agricultural development in this village still faces several constraints, such as limited access to technology, a lack of irrigation facilities, and low utilisation of modern agricultural innovations. Based on the analysis, a development strategy is required that encompasses capacity building for farmers, optimisation of land use, strengthening of farmers’ group institutions, and government support in the form of extension services and production input assistance.

ANALISIS POTENSI PERTANIAN DAN PERKEBUNAN SEBAGAI SUMBER DAYA ALAM UNGGULAN DI DESA TANGLAPUI
This study aims to analyze the potential of agriculture and plantations as a leading natural resource in Tanglapui Village, East Alor District, Alor Regency. The study used a qualitative approach through field observations and interviews with the Tanglapui Village Head as the primary informant. The results indicate that the agricultural sector is the village's leading potential, with approximately 600 hectares of rice paddies. Rice productivity is quite high, especially during the rainy season when irrigation is adequate. The use of urea, considered the most effective primary fertilizer, and NPK fertilizer to support fertility, also contributes to increased yields. Agricultural management in this village is also strengthened by 14 farmer groups that play a role in organizing planting activities, managing land, and improving farmer capacity. In the plantation sector, the community cultivates various commodities such as candlenut, turmeric, cashew, corn, porang (porang) sweet potato, cassava, and bananas on approximately 20 hectares of land. The soil characteristics in Tanglapui Village include black soil, red soil, and clay. Black soil is the most fertile type, while red soil and clay have lower fertility levels. However, some crops, such as candlenut and cashew, are more suited to growing in red soil, thus still providing economic benefits to the community. This demonstrates the variation in crop suitability based on soil conditions. Overall, the agricultural and plantation potential in Tanglapui Village offers excellent development prospects, with the rice field sector being the most prominent. Future development can be achieved through improving irrigation systems, sustainable fertilizer use, strengthening farmer groups, and adapting cropping patterns based on soil characteristics. This research provides a comprehensive overview of the village's natural resource strengths as a foundation for sustainable development.
COMMUNITY-BASED EVALUATION OF PUBLIC HEALTH POLICY IMPLEMENTATION IN RURAL AREAS
This study aims to analyze the implementation of public health policies in rural areas through a community-based approach using a literature review method. The primary focus of the study is to evaluate the extent to which government-designed health policies are effectively implemented at the local community level, as well as the role of communities in supporting or hindering their success. The method used is a systematic literature review of various scientific sources, such as international journals, policy reports, and recent publications from relevant health organizations. The study results indicate that the success of health policy implementation in rural areas is significantly influenced by active community participation, the availability of health resources, the capacity of health workers, and the policy's suitability to local socio-cultural conditions. Furthermore, a community-based approach has been shown to increase the effectiveness of health programs through community empowerment, increased health awareness, and strengthened participatory evaluation mechanisms. However, various challenges remain, such as limited infrastructure, low health literacy, and lack of coordination among stakeholders. This study recommends the importance of integrating community perspectives into every stage of policymaking, from planning to evaluation, to create a more inclusive and sustainable health system in rural areas.

The findings indicate that agriculture remains the primary livelihood source for the community, supported by key commodities such as maize, upland rice, coconuts, cassava, and various horticultural products that hold significant economic value for both local consumption and nearby markets. Meanwhile, Tuti Hot Spring represents a unique natural attraction characterized by its geothermal features, offering considerable potential to be developed into a prominent tourism destination. However, tourism development faces several challenges, including limited access infrastructure, inadequate supporting facilities, low promotion efforts, and insufficient community involvement in destination management. The study concludes that optimizing these two sectors requires an integrated strategy that includes capacity building for local communities, strengthening village institutions, improving basic infrastructure, and promoting tourism based on local potential and sustainability principles. With appropriate planning and implementation, the agricultural sector and Tuti Hot Spring tourism can become key drivers of sustainable village development.

MENGUNGKAP MAKNA SINDIRAN PERUMPAMAAN YOTAM TAFSIRN HISTORIS HAKIM-HAKIM 9:7–15 DALAM KONTEKS KEPEMIMPINAN ABIMELEKH
This study aims to uncover the satirical meaning of Jotham's parable (Judges 9:7–15) through a historical interpretation approach in the context of Abimelech's leadership. The method used is qualitative with a literature review (biblical exegesis), integrating historical-critical and thematic analysis of the text and related literature. The results show that Jotham's parable is a form of socio-political criticism conveyed symbolically through the fable of the trees. The olive, fig, and vine trees symbolize ideal, productive leadership oriented toward the welfare of the community, while the thornbush represents Abimelech's selfish, unproductive, and destructive leadership. The satire in the text is conveyed indirectly through figurative language, irony, and repetitive structures that reinforce its rhetorical message. In a historical context, this parable emerged as a response to Abimelech's power, which was obtained through violence and manipulation, thus lacking moral and theological legitimacy. These findings emphasize that leadership not rooted in divine values ​​and social responsibility will lead to destruction. Thus, the parable of Jotham not only has historical significance, but also theological relevance as a critique of deviant leadership and as a basis for reflection for contemporary Christian leadership.

PENGEMBANGAN PROGRAM EDUKASI SEKSUAL SEHAT BERBASIS CSE PADA REMAJA SEKOLAH MELALUI PENDEKATAN PARTICIPATORY ACTION RESEARCH
Adolescence is a developmental stage characterized by vulnerability to issues related to relationships, sexuality, and reproductive health, particularly when sexual literacy is limited. This study aimed to develop and implement a healthy sexuality education program based on Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach. The study involved 33 senior high school students aged 15–18 years who were actively engaged in the processes of problem identification, planning, implementation, and program evaluation. The intervention was delivered through an interactive learning medium, the Card of Sex Education (CASED), using reflective group discussions. Program effectiveness was evaluated using a pre-test and post-test design developed in accordance with UNESCO guidelines. The results indicated a significant increase in participants’ knowledge after the intervention (Z = −3.662; p < 0.001) with a strong effect size. These findings suggest that CSE-based sexuality education combined with a participatory approach is effective in enhancing adolescents’ sexual literacy and life skills.

Otvai Village is one of the villages in Northwest Alor District which is known as the largest clove producer in Alor Regency, with a land area of 198 hectares and a fairly high production every harvest season. The abundant potential of cloves makes Otvai Village have a great opportunity to develop the agro-tourism sector as a form of economic diversification based on local resources. This research aims to analyze the potential of cloves as a leading commodity, identify opportunities for agrotourism development, and review the supporting and inhibiting factors that affect its implementation. The research method used is qualitative descriptive by examining data on the potential of natural, social, economic, and village infrastructure. The results of the analysis show that Otvai Village has the main strength in clove production, a natural landscape that supports plantation tourism, and the existence of local cultural elements to support tourism activities. However, several obstacles such as damage to road infrastructure, low tourism support facilities, and lack of promotion are the main challenges in agrotourism development. This study recommends strengthening tourism village governance, improving infrastructure, and diversifying processed clove products as a community-based agro-tourism development strategy.
