Yaumil Istiqlal M.Nur — 2026-09-23

Seagrass ecosystems play an important role in maintaining the balance of coastal ecosystems; therefore, conservation efforts require the involvement of various stakeholders, including the academic community. This activity aimed to enhance environmental awareness among the academic community through direct participation in seagrass conservation in Lampageu Village, Peukan Bada District, Aceh Besar Regency. The activity was conducted in three stages, namely providing educational information on the functions and importance of seagrass ecosystems, demonstrating seagrass planting techniques, and conducting direct seagrass planting practices in the sea. The participants consisted of 34 students and 11 lecturers. The activity was evaluated descriptively using a participant participation observation sheet comprising two indicators: attendance and direct involvement in the seagrass planting practice. Attendance and punctuality data were calculated based on the number and percentage of participants, while active involvement was assessed based on participants’ direct participation in the seagrass planting activity. The results showed that all 34 students and 11 lecturers attended the activity. A total of 30 students (88.24%) arrived on time, while 4 students (11.76%) arrived late. All 11 lecturers (100%) arrived on time. Regarding involvement, all participants who attended the activity directly participated in the seagrass planting practice, resulting in a 100% active involvement rate during the implementation stage. These findings indicate that seagrass planting served as a tangible form of environmental concern among the academic community while providing practical experience in conserving coastal ecosystems.

Lexxa Selvia Nasution — 2026-09-23

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital role in supporting economic growth, particularly through job creation and the strengthening of local businesses. One of the challenges MSMEs often face is a lack of capital to expand their businesses. Therefore, education on microfinance is essential so that MSME owners can understand the benefits, requirements, and application procedures for financing that can support their business growth. This activity was carried out at ROKUBAR, an MSME operating in the culinary sector, specifically selling kebabs and fast food in Banda Aceh. The methods used to implement the activity included a survey of business locations, face-to-face interviews with business owners, education on microfinance, documentation of the activity, and an evaluation of the results. ROKUBAR has considerable potential for growth, as it already has three branches and five employees. However, this business still faces challenges in the form of the risk of eviction from its current location and a limited number of employees. Through educational activities, business owners gain a better understanding of microfinance, including its benefits, general requirements, and application procedures. These activities are considered beneficial because they help MSME owners identify the right sources of financing for business development.

Pemberdayaan Masyarakat melalui Pelaksanaan Qurban Partisipatif di Dusun Timur Desa Kopelma Darussalam Kota Banda Aceh

Firdus — 2026-09-23

This community service activity aimed to document and analyze a participatory qurban implementation in Dusun Timur, Desa Kopelma Darussalam, Banda Aceh, in 2026. The activity was conducted on 27 May 2026 at Musalla Darul Faizin using a participatory, cooperative approach involving residents and the committee, from planning and participant registration to fundraising, site preparation, animal health examination, slaughtering, cutting, packaging, and meat distribution. Students from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and the Department of Animal Science, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Syiah Kuala, conducted ante-mortem and post-mortem examinations. Fourteen cattle and ten goats were slaughtered. The examinations indicated that the animals were healthy, had ideal Body Condition Scores, and were fit for consumption. The activity produced 1,257 portions of beef and 100 portions of goat meat, distributed to residents of Dusun Timur and poor beneficiaries outside the hamlet. Community solidarity was strengthened through active participation and donations of ingredients for kuah beulangong. The findings indicate that participatory qurban management can integrate religious practice, animal fitness assurance, equitable distribution, accountability, and social solidarity. Future implementation should improve facilities, animal-handling education, hygiene, and technical standardization.

Aliasuddin — 2026-09-23

This community service program aimed to describe and evaluate a practical, community-participatory approach to qurban logistics in Dusun Timur, Kopelma Darussalam Village, Banda Aceh City. The program was implemented on 27 May 2026 through planning, participant registration, fundraising, ante-mortem and post-mortem examinations, slaughtering, cutting, packaging, distribution, and financial evaluation. Fourteen cattle and ten goats were declared healthy and fit for consumption. The activity produced 1,257 beef packages and 100 goat-meat packages, distributed to residents and low-income recipients outside the neighborhood. The findings indicate that task specialization, veterinary support, coupon-based distribution, financial documentation, and mutual cooperation facilitated the logistics flow while strengthening social solidarity.

Pelatihan Pembuatan Bioaktivator dan Pupuk Organik dari Limbah Kopi

Firdus — 2026-09-23

This community service activity addressed the management of organic waste generated from coffee farming and processing in Aceh. The activity aimed to improve farmers’ knowledge and skills in converting organic waste into organic fertilizer and bioactivators, including effective microorganisms (EM) and local microorganisms (MOL). The activity was conducted at Buana Mandiri Cooperative, Pondok Baru, Bener Meriah Regency, in two stages: 29 - 30 January 2024 and 8 - 9 February 2025, involving 80 cooperative members. The methods consisted of face-to-face instruction, practical sessions on producing EM, MOL, and organic fertilizer, and knowledge evaluation using pre-tests and post-tests. The results showed a stronger improvement in the second stage, with the mean score increasing from 67 before training to 83 after training. In the first stage, the mean score decreased from 49 to 41; the project report indicates that incomplete participation in the pre-test and post-test affected the mean results. In practice, the training produced approximately 80 liters of EM and MOL, and about 1.2 tons of organic fertilizer material that was still undergoing composting. The activity demonstrates that a training approach combining explanation and hands-on practice can strengthen farmers’ capacity to utilize coffee waste. Future programs should include continuous mentoring, more consistent evaluation procedures, and product-quality testing to support sustained adoption at the farmer-group level.
