Implementasi Ekologi Hindu dalam Mendukung SDGs melalui Kegiatan Pelestarian Lingkungan

2026-07-09T12:16:07+07:00

Implementation of sustainable ecology from a Hindu perspective through tree planting and beach clean-up activities was conducted by by the academic community of IAHN Gde Pudja Mataram, Lombok, Indonesia. This Community Service Program (PkM) was conducted as a collaborative action with local communities. The outcomes of the program were measured using a qualitative case study approach through participatory observation, unstructured interviews, and document analysis. The activities showed that tree planting supports vana kertiḥ (forest preservation), while beach clean-up efforts contribute to samudra kertiḥ (marine ecosystem conservation). Guided by the principles of ahiṁsā (non-violence) and niśkāma karma (selfless action), the program enhanced ecological awareness among participants. Aligned with SDG 13 (Climate Action) and SDG 14 (Life Below Water), this initiative demonstrates the effectiveness of integrating Hindu values into environmental management and offers a replicable model of religion-based community service for other educational institutions, despite ongoing challenges such as limited resources and low community involvement.

Digital Content Creator Training as a Broadcasting Medium Dharma Teachings

2026-07-09T12:16:38+07:00

The development of digital technology has created broad opportunities for the dissemination of information, including the dissemination of religious teachings. Digital media not only functions as a communication tool but can also be utilized as an educational medium to spread the values of Dharma to the community. This study aims to describe the implementation of Digital-Based Content Creator Training as a medium for disseminating Dharma teachings using the content management theory approach. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques including observation, documentation, and literature study. The results show that the digital-based content creator training was carried out through several stages of content management, including content planning, content production, content distribution, and content evaluation. Through this training activity, participants gained an understanding of digital literacy, social media ethics, and skills in producing and distributing creative and educational digital content. The training also had a positive impact on improving participants' abilities to utilize digital media as a medium for disseminating Dharma teachings to the community. Therefore, digital media can serve as an effective medium for spreading the values of Dharma creatively, innovatively, and in accordance with technological developments in the digital era

Penerapan Teknologi IoT dan PLTS untuk Optimalisasi Nutrisi dan Kontrol Kebun Hidroponik Desa Bawang

2026-07-06T10:02:22+07:00

Energy efficiency and precise nutrient delivery are crucial aspects of modern hydroponic farming practices. Reliance on manual monitoring and conventional energy supply often leads to resource wastage and reduced productivity. In line with the advancement of precision agriculture technologies, this study aims to develop an automated nutrient monitoring and control system based on the Internet of Things (IoT), supported by renewable energy, to promote energy conservation. The system is designed using an ESP32-S3 microcontroller, TDS, temperature, and humidity sensors, as well as peristaltic pumps that operate automatically according to threshold values and plant growth phases. The IoT subsystem is powered by four solar panels with a total capacity of 80 Wp. Implementation was carried out at Atish Hidrofarm Hydroponic Garden, Bawang Village, and evaluated through the monitoring of nutrient, temperature, and humidity parameters. The results showed that the system was able to maintain nutrient stability within the optimal concentration range while reducing energy requirements for monitoring compared to conventional methods. The application of solar PV as a backup power source demonstrates strong potential as an integrated technological model that not only supports resource conservation but can also be replicated across various scales of hydroponic farming in regions with low electricity supply reliability.

Increasing Economic Value and Environmental Sustainability through Agricultural and Household Waste Management

2026-07-06T10:02:22+07:00

Agriculture in Taman Bali Hamlet, Sepakek Village, Pringgarata Sub-district, Central Lombok Regency is facing a decline in crop yields due to excessive use of chemical fertilizers. To overcome this problem, community service activities aim to increase community understanding of the management of agricultural and household waste into organic fertilizer, in line with the principles of Tri Hita Karana. The methods used include observation, interviews, training, and field practice. The program began with a site survey, followed by socialization and discussion with resource persons from the NTB Agriculture and Forestry Office, as well as the practice of making organic fertilizer using the Lindi method. The results of the activity showed that the community, especially teenagers and adults, showed increased understanding and enthusiasm in managing waste into organic fertilizer. The evaluation of the activity indicated that this socialization was effective in introducing waste management methods that not only reduce waste but also have the potential to improve soil fertility and the economic welfare of the community.

Punia Bhakti Rsi Yadnya: Implementasi Pengabdian Masyarakat Mendukung SDGs-2030 dan Asta Protas Kementerian Agama

2026-07-06T10:02:23+07:00

This community service activity titled Punia Bhakti Rsi Yadnya was implemented by IAHN Gde Pudja Mataram on January 15, 2026, as part of the Siwaratri sacred day celebration. The activity aimed to manifest the Rsi Yadnya teaching, one of the Panca Yadnya in Hinduism, by paying homage to six Sulinggih (Hindu holy persons) in the Lombok region. The methods used include preparation, joint worship, group division, visits to Griya, presentation of parsel as Punia Bhakti, and receiving spiritual guidance. The results showed that 100% of the targets were achieved, with parsel successfully distributed to six Sulinggih and the strengthening of harmonious relations between higher education and Hindu religious figures. The satisfaction survey of 68 respondents indicated a very high satisfaction level, with 97.1% strongly agreeing that the theme aligns with Hindu values and 97.1% recommending this activity to the wider community. This activity contributed to achieving SDGs-2030 goals (Goal 1 and Goal 17) and supported the Asta Protas of the Ministry of Religious Affairs, particularly the pillars of Impactful Religious Services and Increasing Harmony and Love for Humanity.

Implementation of IoT Smart-Alarm System as an Early Warning for Steep Roads in RW 7 Tegalsari

2026-07-09T12:19:47+07:00

The steep road access in the Tegalsari area poses potential safety risks for road users, particularly under limited lighting conditions and low visibility. This situation not only increases vulnerability to traffic accidents but also affects the accessibility and mobility of the community, including Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in conducting distribution activities and Cash on Delivery (COD) services. Addressing this issue requires an early warning system capable of providing automated, real-time information to enhance road users' safety and awareness. Based on these conditions, this community service activity aims to implement an IoT Smart-Alarm System as an Internet of Things (IoT)-based early warning system on steep road access to support MSME accessibility, specifically in RW 07, Tegalsari Village. The implementation method was carried out through several stages: site survey, community needs analysis, hardware and software system design, device installation, and direct field testing. The system was designed using an ESP32 microcontroller connected to an HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor, a DFPlayer Mini, a speaker, and LED indicators. The sensor functions to detect the presence of vehicles passing through specific areas, which then triggers the system to automatically activate voice and light warnings to alert road users. Based on the implementation results, the system operates effectively in detecting vehicle objects. The application of this technology is expected to enhance road user safety, minimize accident risks on steep roads, and support the utilization of Internet of Things technology in developing smart technology-based communities.
