Pemberdayaan Masyarakat dalam Pengembangan Desa Wisata Sidomulyo, Kediri di Era Kenormalan Baru

Abstract

This service through the Community Service Program aims to develop tourist villages as an alternative to economic improvement for the Sidomulyo village community in the Pandemic Era through community empowerment. This was done because Sidomulyo Village has one of the tourist objects of the Ganggong Sidomulyo spring (SGS), which local tourists began to visit during the pandemic. Based on the analysis of the problems that have been carried out on the implementation of KKN activities at the Sumber Ganggong Sidomulyo spring tourist spot, Wates District, Kediri Regency, it is focused on providing education about the management of tourist attractions and the importance of implementing health procedures for safe travel. In addition, KKN members also participated in several SGS tourism development activities. This service activity is carried out through active participation and empowerment based on shared ideas, mutual support, flexibility, and cohesiveness which are applied through outreach and practice activities. In practice, both volunteers and village officials are always enthusiastic and fully support each activity. The impact of this KKN activity is that it can increase the knowledge of SGS volunteers in managing and developing SGS tourist attractions and increase awareness of the implementation of health protocol in traveling in the new normal era so that it will be helpful in future practice.

Pendampingan Kewirausahaan bagi Usaha Mikro Kecil dan Menengah dari Siswa SMK, Mahasiswa dan Alumni STIE Port Numbay Jayapura

“…Pendampingan merupakan keseluruhan bentuk pelatihan serta interaksi yang dibangun oleh tim pendamping dengan penikmat UMKM maupun yang telah memiliki usaha maupun yang ingin mengembangkan usaha secara terus menerus (Ariyanto et al, 2021). Untuk mendorong pengembangan jumlah produk usaha mikro, kecil dan menengah (UMKM) di kalangan masyarakat maka diperlukan pendampingan sebagai upaya untuk melakukan sinergi dan kolaborasi antara pemerintah, swasta, dan BUMN maupun akademisi sebagai kunci dalam yang baik dalam rangka mempercepat pemulihan ekonomi (Istiqomah et al, 2022). Suharto (2005) menguraikan bahwa pendampingan merupakan satu strategi yang sangat menentukan keberhasilan program pemberdayaan masyarakat, selanjutnya dikatakannya pula oleh Payne (1986) bahwa pendampingan merupakan strategi yang lebih mengutamakan "making the best of the client's resources".…”
