The role of women artists in the performing arts, also within the arts as well as the other broader life, inIndonesia, seems to be strengthening in recent years. It doesn’t mean that it is a new issue, of course. Butperhaps it happened since Indonesia experiencing and witnessing a great change of mainstream withinit self since 1998; this issue, as well as the other critical issues gaining a more free momentum and spaceof expression. Of course, this still needs further scrutinization. The superiority of women is not limitedto the mith in which giving special space for them, but indeed women have strong key role as the escortof performing arts. Women have the central key in promoting traditional arts; however, there is womenrole shift in the stage of performing arts. Women artists in the culture posseses inevitable duality ofposition. They are praised as high as the sky, in the other hand they are also insulted, abused, and usedas a profit-making commodity. Besides their beautiful manner and behaviour, women are also capableof breaking through the boundary of culture. Women as the mother earth who’s also identical withthe symbol of fertility, paragon, and the parameter of values and norms that is expected by the socialcommunity, are also capable of fulfilling the promises attached into the miths that praise and adorethem. Therefore, it is their nature that they have the central role in the success of a performing art bothtraditional and modern. Serious problems in the world of performing arts occur when women artists tryto promote tradition. Inner conflict uccur between their basic nature and their environemntal condition.In this case, pressures are not only coming from the social environment but also from within. In fact,the soul of tradition survives and sustain from their very hands. When the stage experiences shift, therole of women as the escort of the tradition is also fading. Performance industry does properly placestage women as a subject but only as a commodity to attarct the market for the capitalists. Together, weshould be able to solve this problem if we still want women to attend in the world of performing artsand change the world into a more colorful one.

A village having potential of cultures, especially language, literature, and performing arts is getting more difcult to be found in this millenium era. When the condition is owned by a certain village, it is natural to be accompanied in growing and strengthening the self-awareness of the villagers by maintaining, preserving, and developing those potentials. One of the villages that has potential of Javanese cultures, especially language, literature, and performing arts is Beji Village. Te location of the village is in Ngawen District, Gunungkidul, DIY.Observation and inventory of problems, mapping the problems, taking action in the form ofgiving motivation, counseling, education, and opening the discussion and consultation as widely as possible are the methods of the accompaniment. By implementing those methods, optimal results namely changes in community behavior in terms of awareness, understanding improvement, and capability to manage the potential feld of language, literature, and performing arts that they already have will be achieved.The result of community service in Beji Village, especially in the feld of language shows someerrors and inaccurate uses of the Javanese variety language in daily routine. In addition, there was also some correction and education in writing Java letters in the nameplate in the sub villages.

In performing arts, not only succeeding in education and counseling, we also established the institutional art groups in the village of Beji.

As the COVID-19 outbreak spread worldwide, multidisciplinary researches on COVID-19 are vastly developed, not merely focusing on the medical sciences like epidemiology and virology. One of the studies that have developed is to understand the spread of the disease. This study aims to assess the contribution of crowdsourcing-based data from social media in understanding locations and the distribution patterns of COVID-19 in Indonesia. In this study, Twitter was used as the main source to retrieve location-based active cases of COVID-19 in Indonesia. We used Netlytic (www.netlytic.org) and Phyton’s script namely GetOldTweets3 to retrieve the relevant online content about COVID-19 cases including audiences’ information such as username, time of publication, and locations from January 2020 to August 2020 when COVID-19 active cases significantly increased in Indonesia. Subsequently, the accuracy of resulted data and visualization maps was assessed by comparing the results with the official data from the Ministry of Health of Indonesia. The results show that the number of active cases and locations are only promising during the early period of the disease spread on March – April 2020, while in the subsequent periods from April to August 2020, the error was continuously exaggerated. Although the accuracy of crowdsourcing data remains a challenge, we argue that crowdsourcing platforms can be a potential data source for an early assessment of the disease spread especially for countries lacking the capital and technical knowledge to build a systematic data structure to monitor the disease spread.

Ponjong Village, particularly natural tourism, owns quite a tourism potential. One of them is Umbul Ponjong, a kind of natural water source developed to be Ponjong Water Byur, equipped with various playgrounds for children. It has been a favorite tourism object in Ponjong. In its surrounding, there is an orchard that is being developed and rice fields. Previously, the tourism destination was growing until the Covid-19 pandemic stroked by March 2020. As a result, it was almost closed due to its inability to generate income for its operational cost. On the contrary, the Ponjong Water Byur was the rural economic center. To the facts, there is a need to get a party outside the local community to collaborate in developing the Ponjong Water Byur particularly. The development actions can be any support in terms of encouragement and innovations to raise the rural economy in Ponjong from the tourism sector. As a follow-up, the Javanese Literature Study Program of Universitas Gadjah Mada was eager to support the Ponjong Village, particularly Ponjong Water Byur tourism actors and the Muda Karya Raya farmer group through Community Engagement Activities. ==== Desa Ponjong sebenarnya memiliki potensi wisata yang menarik, khususnya di bidang sumber daya alam. Salah satu contoh wisata di bidang sumber daya alam berupa sumber air atau yang lebih dikenal dengan Umbul Ponjong (sekarang sudah dikembangkan menjadi Water Byur Ponjong), yakni kolam renang dengan aneka permainannya yang menjadi objek wisata unggulan di Desa Ponjong. Lokasi ini juga memiliki kebun buah yang sedang dalam tahap pengembangan serta area persawahan. Potensi-potensi wisata tersebut sudah mulai berkembang, tetapi adanya pandemi COVID-19 di Indonesia sejak Maret 2020 mengakibatkan kunjungan wisata ke lokasi ini menurun drastis, bahkan objek wisata tersebut nyaris ditutup. Padahal, sektor wisata ini merupakan salah satu penggerak perekonomian di Desa Ponjong. Berdasarkan fakta tersebut, diperlukan “sentuhan tangan” dari pihak lain di luar masyarakat desa untuk membantu. Bantuan yang diberikan dapat dilakukan dengan cara memberi semangat dan inovasi bagi perkembangan sektor ekonomi desa, khususnya di bidang wisata, seperti Water Byur dan sekitarnya. Program pengabdian kepada masyarakat Program Studi Sastra Jawa hadir untuk memberi pancingan inovasi dalam membantu kebangkitan kembali potensi Desa Ponjong. Sasaran dari pelaksanaan program ini adalah masyarakat atau komunitas di Desa Ponjong, khususnya komunitas pelaku wisata Water Byur Desa Ponjong dan kelompok tani Muda Karya Raya.
