Riana Rahmawati — 2025-09-30

The growing elderly population in Indonesia highlights the need for support systems that can ensure their safety and well-being, particularly for those living alone. Living independently increases the vulnerability of older adults to risks such as falls, sudden illness, and emergency conditions that require immediate assistance. However, the use of simple, elderly-friendly emergency technologies at the community level remains limited. This community service program in Purbayan village in Yogyakarta City initiated the development of the Emergency Bracelet for the Elderly Living Alone (GEULIS), an innovative solution based on Internet of Things (IoT) technology. The prototype bracelet was designed with a simple emergency push button system capable of sending alerts via WhatsApp to family members or community health workers, when the elderly require help. The program comprised need assessments, designing and developing the prototype, and pilot testing with elderly individuals living alone. The results demonstrated that the device functioned effectively in transmitting emergency signals. While the design was relatively wearable and user-friendly, further refinement is needed to optimize ease of use. This program highlights the potential for continued development and broader application of GEULIS within the community.

Meanwhile, there is a government program called the national movement towards school children's snacks (PJAS) that are safe, healthy and clean. The facts show that many hawkers do not understand the importance of this movement in applying it to their merchandise. The aim of this service activity is to provide guidance, training, mentoring and inspection of food additives and microbes in the snacks of hawkers in the Sleman Regency area, especially for members of the Mugo Lestari School Hawker Community (KUPAS), especially in one of the elementary schools in Sleman.

Household organic waste management remains a major challenge in Gadingsari Village, Sanden District, Bantul Regency. Due to low awareness and limited use of waste processing technologies, residents often burn or improperly dispose of organic waste. This community service program aimed to introduce maggot (Black Soldier Fly) cultivation as an innovative, environmentally friendly, and economically beneficial solution. The program was implemented using a Community Based Research (CBR) approach, consisting of four main stages: laying the foundation, planning, information gathering and analysis, and acting on findings. Participatory education and training were conducted to enhance the community’s capacity to manage organic waste as a productive resource. Evaluation results showed an increase in knowledge and skills, along with active community involvement. This initiative is expected to be integrated into the future Waste Processing Facility (TPST 3R) and serve as a replicable model for other villages. Overall, the program contributes to improving environmental quality and promoting sustainable community well-being.
