The proximity of the cow shed to the kitchen, coupled with the status of a heritage village that requires a solution without changing the building structure, demands an innovative approach. Therefore, this community service aims to apply biogas technology to utilize cow dung waste as an alternative energy source, improve environmental cleanliness, and reduce household expenses. Community service activities include socialization of biogas technology, training on use and maintenance, as well as installation and evaluation assistance. As a result, biogas technology was successfully implemented, meeting cooking gas needs, reducing household costs, and producing organic fertilizer. Socialization, training, and ongoing assistance ensure the operational success of biogas technology. Buddagan 1 Hamlet is now an inspiring example of environmentally friendly livestock waste management.</p>2024-12-17T00:00:00+00:00##submission.copyrightStatement##https://journal.unimma.ac.id/index.php/ce/article/view/10553Empowering BUMDes Guyub Rukun: Branding strategies and digital marketing for tourism village2025-05-06T06:09:46+00:00Nur Laila Yuliani[email protected]Naufal Afif[email protected]Serafica Btari Christiyani Kusumaningrum[email protected]<p>The “Guyub Rukun” Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes) in Wringinputih Village, a buffer zone for the Borobudur National Strategic Tourism Area, possesses diverse potential business units but faces challenges due to limited promotion.

Kulong possesses potential for fish farming due to its age, which supports the availability of trophic minerals essential for fish life. Fish farmers frequently encounter problems with disease outbreaks and mortality caused by pathogens, leading to low production yields. Improving the quality of the cultivation environment, including reducing sedimentation from commercial feed, is one solution to mitigate fish diseases and mortality. This community service aims to provide training on environmentally friendly feed for fish farmers through training and mentoring in its application. The program successfully enhanced the partners' ability to produce cost-effective (organic) environmentally friendly feed from agricultural waste (oil palm kernel meal, dregs, bran), which demonstrably improved the quality of the cultivation environment, reduced fish diseases and mortality, and has the potential to increase the quality and quantity of fish production.</p>2025-04-27T00:00:00+00:00##submission.copyrightStatement##https://journal.unimma.ac.id/index.php/ce/article/view/12192Adolescent mental health literacy: An effort to increase the awareness and support among parents2025-05-06T06:10:20+00:00Muria Endah Sokowati[email protected]<p>Mental health understanding among generation Z is quite good.
