The Role of Creative Hubs in Enhancing Marketing and Creativity Among Coffee SMEs in Banyuwangi Regency Based on Islamic Business Principles
Purpose - This study is motivated by the important role of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) as a key pillar of the people’s economy, which contributes significantly to income equality and national economic growth. In Banyuwangi Regency, the coffee MSME sector holds great potential as the region is one of the leading coffee-producing areas in East Java. However, coffee MSME operators still face various challenges, such as limited capital, low product innovation, and suboptimal digital marketing capabilities. To address these challenges, Rumah Kreatif Banyuwangi serves as a capacity-building institution focused on enhancing MSME capabilities, particularly in digital marketing, packaging design, and product branding. The objective of this study is to identify and analyze Rumah Kreatif Banyuwangi’s strategies for developing the marketing and creativity of coffee MSMEs while remaining grounded in Islamic business values and ethics. Design/Methodology/Approach - The research method used was qualitative, involving observation, interviews, and documentation. The results were analyzed descriptively.. Findings - The research findings indicate that the Banyuwangi Creative House Strategy for enhancing the marketing and creativity of coffee-based MSMEs is grounded in Islamic business principles, emphasizing honesty (ṣidq), trustworthiness (amānah), justice (al-‘adl), professionalism (ihsan), public benefit (maslahah), and cooperation (ta’āwun). The implemented strategies include strengthening branding and product identity through creative packaging design and informative storytelling, ethical and transparent digital promotion, participation in events and exhibitions, facilitating partnerships and distribution networks, as well as providing guidance on legal compliance and fair pricing strategies. On the other hand, Rumah Kreatif also boosts the creativity of MSMEs through product innovation training, design workshops, digital marketing guidance, and the development of signature Banyuwangi coffee blends. The implementation of these strategies not only enhances the visibility, competitiveness, and revenue of MSMEs but also builds consumer trust through business practices that are halal-thayyib, ethical, and sustainable.

Membongkar Jebakan Data: Pendampingan dan Pembinaan Kebijakan Kominfo dan Literasi Kritis dalam Membentengi Privasi Keuangan Masyarakat
Purpose -The rapid digital transformation in Indonesia's financial sector brings serious challenges related to personal data security, where identity leaks and data misuse have become real threats to society. This community service project aims to provide education and guidance regarding government policies related to digital financial literacy, with a primary focus on the protection of personal data identity across various digital financial platforms. This activity is designed to bridge the gap between the complexity of legal regulations and the practical understanding of the community at the grassroots level. Methodology - The method used in this project is a participatory educational approach through a series of interactive workshops, legal counseling, and Focus Group Discussions (FGD). The team conducted a regulatory review of Law Number 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection (PDP Law) and its derivative regulations from the Financial Services Authority (OJK). This approach allows participants to not only understand the technical aspects of using financial applications but also understand their legal rights as data subjects. Findings - The findings of this community service activity show that prior to the intervention, the majority of the community had a high level of vulnerability due to a lack of knowledge regarding the classification of specific and general personal data. However, after the intervention, there was a significant increase in public legal awareness in mitigating cybercrime risks. The community began to be able to identify potentially detrimental standard clauses in digital financial platforms and understand complaint procedures according to the applicable regulatory framework. Originality - The value or originality of this project lies in its deep emphasis on the synchronization of all government regulations created as self-protection instruments. Unlike conventional financial literacy, which only focuses on profitability, this project integrates legal compliance as the primary foundation for digital transactions. The results of this activity confirm that effective personal data protection can only be achieved through synergy between strict regulations and a legally literate community that is meticulous and comprehensive.

Purpose- Instilling character values ​​in early childhood is an important foundation in building a generation with morals, personality, and mature social-emotional intelligence. Early childhood is often referred to as the golden age, a developmental phase that greatly determines the direction of a child's life in the future. Therefore, appropriate guidance through habits and good role models is an essential strategy in the early childhood education process. This community service article aims to describe the process, strategies, and implications of mentoring the instillation of character values ​​in early childhood by emphasizing consistent habitual practices and role models provided by teachers, parents, and the surrounding environment. Design/Methodology/Approach - The method used is a descriptive qualitative study through observation, interviews, and literature review to explore the concrete forms of habitual practices and role models in children's daily lives. Findings - The results of the study indicate that habits, such as getting children used to praying before doing activities, saying hello, maintaining cleanliness, and sharing with friends, can foster attitudes of discipline, responsibility, and social awareness. Meanwhile, the role models of adults, particularly teachers and parents, have been shown to be concrete models for children to emulate in positive behaviors, such as honesty, patience, independence, and respect for others. Warm and affectionate interactions strengthen the internalization of character values, enabling children to internalize and apply them naturally in their daily lives. Originality/Value –This research confirms that instilling character values ​​cannot be achieved instantly but requires a continuous, integrated process of mentoring between family, school, and community.

Strengthening the Rural Digital Economy through Institutional Development with an Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) Approach: A Case Studyin a District, Jember Regency
This community service research aims to analyse the process and results of strengthening the village community's economy through institutional development and the implementation of digital economic education using the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach in Silo District, Jember Regency, Indonesia. The information and communication technology revolution has opened significant opportunities for creating new jobs and addressing structural economic problems in rural Indonesia. However, the utilization of digital spaces in rural areas often remains supplementary and has not become the primary locus for economic empowerment. The research employs a participatory qualitative method with an ABCD approach, comprising three main stages: identification and consolidation of community assets; asset development through strategic training, mentoring, and provision of technology access; and the implementation of advocacy and digital economic literacy education. Research results indicate that the ABCD approach successfully consolidated key village assets, including internet infrastructure, village government authority, formal/non-formal educational institutions, universities, civil society communities, and village facilitators. This consolidation resulted in the formation of a new institution named KOMANDO SWADAYA DESA (Komandasa), which functions as a forum for advocacy and rural creative economy literacy. This institution is structured with two main divisions---the Advocacy Division and the Literacy Division---and has established a routine work agenda. Analysis using Talcott Parsons' social systems theory reveals that Komandasa plays a role in enhancing the adaptation, goal attainment, integration, and latency (pattern maintenance) functions of the village social system in the era of digital disruption. This research concludes that the ABCD approach is effective in building digital economic institutions based on local assets, which not only improves digital literacy but also strengthens the economic resilience of rural communities. It is suggested that similar institutions can be replicated in other rural areas by conducting in-depth studies of specific local conditions, developing measurable strategies, and strengthening multi-stakeholder partnership networks.
