Penerapan protokol kesehatan di masyarakat pada masa pandemi Covid-19 saat ini masih terkendala dan belum efektif. Rendahnya tingkat kesadaran dan pemahaman masyarakat dalam penerapan protokol kesehatan merupakan faktor utamanya. Masyarakat belum sepenuhnya menerima dan menerapkan aturan protokol kesehatan sebagai bentuk budaya baru yang harus diterapkan dalam tatanan New Normal. Dampak terpuruknya sektor ekonomi juga merupakan faktor yang memperburuk kondisi perekonomian masyarakat utamanya industri kecil dan UMKM. Tujuan kegiatan pengabdian ini untuk meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat dalam penerapan protokol kesehatan dan pemberdayaan bagi UMKM pada masa pandemi Covid-19. Metode pelaksanaan kegiatan pengabdian ini adalah: 1). membuat video tutorial sebagai sarana sosialisasi dan edukasi promosi kesehatan, 2). Membuat video company profile untuk membantu promosi industri kecil dan UMKM. Penyebarluasan video tutorial dan company profile UMKM melalui media sosial Youtube merupakan cara yang efektif dalam penyampaian informasi di dalamnya. Konten yang menarik dan interaktif yang mudah dipahami menjadi kunci keberhasilan penyebaran informasi melalui media sosial. Selain itu ketertarikan masyarakat utamanya generasi milenial dalam mengakses informasi di media sosial menjadi faktor pendukung keberhasilan penyampaian informasi tersebut.

Plastic products caused environmental issues due to its slow decomposition rate by microorganisms, especially after being disregarded or buried in the ground. Even though the movement to reduce the use of plastic has been widely promoted, Indonesians in general do not have enough understanding of the environmental problems caused by plastic waste. In addition, the public also lacks the understanding of several other matters, including a) the properties of thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers, b) the alternative ways to reuse plastic waste as handicrafts or plastic pellets as secondary materials for plastic products. The results of preliminary observation indicated that the community need a workshop program on plastic waste management, types of recyclable plastic, and the impact of reusing plastic waste through lecture and discussion methods. This counseling reveals that a workshop program with lecture and discussion methods could increase public knowledge and awareness on plastic waste processing.

Nowadays, the energy transition from fossil fuels to renewable energies is taking place worldwide. Every year, the amount of renewable energy installed increases dramatically. Many small-scale renewable energy technologies have been developed, for example at the household level, or at the environmental level as community-owned renewable energy. This research focuses on the development of renewable energy technology using the resource potential and local community wisdom of Glintung Water Street (GWS), a flood-prone area in Malang City. The objectives of the study were to analyze the potential of water resources in the study area to be developed as renewable energy, particularly under low flow conditions, and to investigate community support for the program of energy independence as a basis for developing a green economy to strengthen GWS as a food security village. This study uses 2 types of data, namely qualitative and quantitative data. Qualitative data is used to deepen the urgency of using renewable energy as alternative energy to replace PLN electricity. Meanwhile, the quantitative data collection consisted of 2 types of data, namely data on the measurement of the hydraulic characteristics of the flow as a source of driving force for the water wheel, and data on the community response and support using a questionnaire instrument. The results showed that the minimum flow to drive the water wheel under low flow conditions was 3 l/s. The maximum RPM recorded during waterwheel operation is 9 RPM, i.e. after it rained the night before the measurement, and the resulting voltage was 20 Volt. However, at higher flow conditions, the voltage generated by the waterwheel can reach 40 Volts. The community strongly supports the energy independence program although there are still doubts due to limited knowledge and experience in applying renewable energy technologies.

This study aims to highlight innovative and sustainable measures in adaptation to climate change and the Covid-19 pandemic through integration into flood control efforts based on empirical data in Glintung Kampong, an informal flood-prone settlement in Indonesia and to explore what local wisdom values influence the success of the measures undertaken. This study was designed to use a mixed method combining qualitative and quantitative data. Qualitative data consists of in-depth interviews, observations, and desk studies. Quantitative data is used for the generalization of some qualitative data across a wider field. The study results show that the existence of drainage channel facilities from the government can trigger creative ideas and innovative measures in the community. Community involvement with their “guyub rukun” and “gotong royong” values is the most influential factor in determining the success of the program, followed by community leaders, the ability to adapt to flood risk, and the ability to establish good interactions with external parties.
