Marindal II Village has considerable potential in the freshwater aquaculture sector; however, it still faces various challenges related to feeding efficiency, high operational costs, and limited adoption of technology. Manual feeding practices often lead to feed waste, irregular feeding schedules, and water pollution in fish ponds. This Community Service Program (PKM) aims to enhance the efficiency and productivity of fish farming through the development and implementation of an automatic fish feeding machine as an initial step toward an Internet of Things (IoT)-based system. The PKM activities were carried out in Marindal II Village in collaboration with the Karang Taruna Youth Group and the PKK community group as partners. The implemented automatic fish feeder is capable of regulating feeding time and dosage in a scheduled manner without manual intervention, thereby reducing feed waste and improving labor efficiency. Although the system has not yet been directly integrated with IoT technology, the design approach and training activities were oriented toward preparing partners for future IoT-based development, such as remote monitoring and sensor integration. Evaluation results indicate improvements in partners’ understanding and skills in managing fish farming activities, feeding time efficiency, and feed waste reduction. This program serves as an important foundation for the sustainable development of IoT-based automatic fish feeding systems in Marindal II Village.

Pregnant women in the Kevikepan Ende region face various challenges, including limited access to health facilities, long geographical distances, and a lack of psychological and spiritual support during pregnancy. These conditions may increase anxiety and emotional vulnerability, particularly within church-based community settings. In response to this situation, a community service program was implemented through the Basic Ecclesial Community (KUB) Care for Pregnant Women Movement as a form of community-based psycho-spiritual accompaniment. This community service activity aims to provide holistic accompaniment for pregnant women through the active involvement of Basic Ecclesial Communities and parish pastoral services. The accompaniment was carried out through pastoral visits, communal prayers, blessings, solidarity-based support, and the facilitation of routine health check-ups in collaboration with local medical personnel. The implementation methods included direct community accompaniment, participatory observation, and interviews with pregnant women, KUB coordinators, and parish priests as part of activity reflection and evaluation. The results indicate that the KUB Care for Pregnant Women Movement successfully created a safe and inclusive space for pregnant women, reduced anxiety levels, and enhanced psycho-spiritual well-being as well as a sense of meaning and belonging within the community. However, the implementation has not been evenly distributed across all KUB units, highlighting the need for strengthened organizational structures, sustained pastoral accompaniment, and increased capacity-building for KUB members. This community service activity affirms that community-based psycho-spiritual accompaniment represents a contextual, participatory, and relevant pastoral service model for supporting vulnerable groups, particularly pregnant women, and should be integrated into diocesan pastoral policies to ensure program sustainability and broader impact.

Pancer Coastal is one of the southern sea beaches located in Puger Kulon Village, Jember. The characteristics of the beach and the sloping geographical allow Puger Kulon Village to develop into a beach-based tourism village. The southern sea has a harsh choppy character with sandy beaches so it needs plant vegetation that acts as a barrier. The need for vegetation as a barrier in the second zone besides the sea pandan which already exists as the first barrier initiated the planting of shrimp cypress in the Pancer coastal area. Planting shrimp cypress is beneficial in resisting wind speed and keeping air conditions cooler in addition to being able to reduce the impact of tsunamis and abrasion in coastal areas. Shrimp cypress can live in extreme conditions, resistant to drought and strong gusts of wind and pest attacks. This activity aims to revitalize the pancer beach area in order to support sustainable ecotourism. This activity is carried out through observation, coordination with related parties, provision and planting of shrimp cypress seedlings, shrimp cypress maintenance and provision of coastal environmental management modules. A total of 200 shrimp cypress seedlings have been planted on Pancer coastal involving the assisted village service team in collaboration with the village government, Pokdarwis and marine members from the Pam Puter XXVIII Nusa Barong Island Ops Task Force.

Environmental and sanitation issues remain critical challenges in rural areas, requiring comprehensive and integrated solutions. This community service program aims to optimize understanding and awareness of Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) as well as environmental management from an early age, targeting Early Childhood Education (PAUD) students, 5th and 6th grade elementary school (SD) students, and the general public. The program is implemented using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach through three main intervention stages: first, hygiene education for PAUD students through motor skill stimulation such as exercise, direct practice of handwashing with soap (CTPS), and coloring activities; second, integrated socialization at the elementary school level involving simulations of organic and inorganic waste sorting, anti-bullying campaigns, and the importance of general health in schools; and third, the design and installation of visual media in the form of educational signboards displaying the decomposition time of household waste in strategic village locations. The results show a significant impact, with 90% of PAUD students demonstrating improved motor skills and independent sanitation understanding, and more than 85% of elementary students able to accurately practice waste sorting. At the community level, the installation of educational signboards has created a cognitive shock effect, increasing public awareness of the dangers of plastic waste accumulation.
