Cooperative is a business entity formed by a person or group of people to achieve a common goal. Cooperatives have the goal of prospering all its members in various aspects, especially the economic aspect. Welfare is achieved through activities in the cooperative, including batik, savings and loans and training for new management. Cooperatives in developed countries have proven to be very contributing to the welfare of their people. However, in some areas there are still many people who are not aware of the benefits that will be obtained when joining a cooperative member. The Mulya Abadi Women's Cooperative is a cooperative in Bukur Village which was established in 2010, with 84 members. Cooperative members are only as much as 18% of the total community who are in their productive period following the cooperative. This shows that there is a lack of public awareness of the importance of knowing the benefits of being a member of a cooperative. Therefore, the urgency of cooperative socialization is carried out in Bukur Village in order to build awareness of the village community.

Trash is a societal issue in the modern world today. Whether in cities or villages, the problem of trash seems endless, one of which is the issue of household waste in Balerejo Village. The lack of community attention to waste utilization has prompted us to address the waste problem as a working program. This idea is realized by utilizing inorganic waste as crafts and organic waste as compost fertilizer through the Biopore and Takakura methods. Researchers hope to at least solve the waste problem in Balerejo Village. Biopores, which function as water absorbers and soil fertilizers, and Takakura, or compost baskets, were chosen because they are practical and easy to make. Both are suitable for application in Balerejo Village since the majority of its residents are farmers. As a result, three Biopore holes and one ready-to-use Takakura basket have been created as souvenirs from the researchers.

Penguatan Literasi Digital Masyarakat Melalui Digitalisasi Pemikiran Sunan Kalijaga Sebagai Upaya Pelestarian Budaya Islam Lokal

2025-12-03T08:02:21+00:00

In the digital era, many young generations show a declining interest in local culture. As a result, local cultural traditions are gradually fading from community life, especially those introduced by Sunan Kalijaga, such as wayang performances, gamelan, and traditional tembang. As the authors, we conducted this study to analyze Sunan Kalijaga’s ideas in integrating Islam with Javanese culture and to formulate a digital literacy–based approach for digitizing and disseminating his intellectual heritage in the digital age. Using Paul Gilster’s digital literacy theory and a qualitative methodology based on library research and content analysis, this study examines manuscripts, tembang, cultural symbols, and folk narratives that represent Sunan Kalijaga’s dakwah values. The findings indicate that his culturally adaptive approach to local traditions can serve as a strategic foundation for inclusive and contextual digital dakwah. The digitization of his ideas through media such as YouTube, e-literature, and cultural applications has the potential to strengthen Islamic identity grounded in local wisdom while addressing the challenges faced by digital-native generations. This study offers a digital knowledge management model that can serve as a reference for developing Islamic–Javanese literacy among young people.
