Industri rumahan mendukung perekonomian pedesaan melalui penciptaan lapangan kerja dan pertumbuhan pendapatan, namun penelitian mengenai perannya sebagai instrumen pemberdayaan masyarakat masih terbatas. Penelitian kualitatif deskriptif ini menganalisis peran industri rumahan dalam pemberdayaan masyarakat dan peningkatan pendapatan di Desa Rampoang, Kabupaten Luwu Utara. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara mendalam, dan dokumentasi dari sembilan informan (tiga pemilik usaha dan enam pekerja), kemudian dianalisis menggunakan model interaktif (reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemberdayaan terjadi melalui proses enabling, empowering, dan protecting, dengan pemilik usaha memainkan peran dominan dalam menyediakan lapangan kerja, pelatihan keterampilan, dan mengelola keberlanjutan. Selain itu, kualitas produk, kepercayaan pelanggan, dan permintaan pasar secara krusial memengaruhi keberlangsungan usaha dan pertumbuhan pendapatan. Oleh karena itu, industri rumahan tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai aktivitas ekonomi keluarga, tetapi juga sebagai alat pemberdayaan strategis berbasis potensi lokal. Penelitian ini menyoroti bahwa penerima manfaat utama adalah warga setempat yang sebelumnya memiliki keterbatasan akses terhadap pekerjaan dan pelatihan keterampilan. Pada akhirnya, keterlibatan dalam industri rumahan membantu mereka memperoleh pendapatan yang stabil dan memperkuat ketahanan ekonomi rumah tangga secara berkelanjutan.

This study analyzes the community empowerment process and its impact on welfare through the Argo Mulyo Parijotho Syrup Home Industry in Colo Village, Kudus. Employing a qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation involving the business owner, employees, farmers, and traders. The results indicate that the empowerment process occurs in three stages: awareness, capacity building, and independence. Utilizing Parijotho fruit provides economic value-added, enhances skills, and strengthens social participation. The impact of this empowerment is reflected in increased income, job creation, and market certainty for farmers. Nevertheless, the program still faces constraints regarding business scale, marketing, and the level of community independence. Therefore, sustained support—through management training, access to capital, product innovation, and the strengthening of marketing networks—is essential to ensure the long-term sustainability of this local potential-based empowerment program.

Low community participation resulting from centralistic leadership patterns remains a primary obstacle in village development, suggesting that the effective implementation of Law Number 6 of 2014 requires strengthening through inclusive leadership models. This study aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of the relationship between the leadership pattern of the Village Head of Bulusari and the effectiveness of community empowerment programs in Central Lampung Regency. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data gathered through in-depth interviews with key informants (the Village Head, hamlet heads, and residents), non-participant observation, and documentary studies, followed by a reductive-categorical analysis. The findings reveal that empowerment in Bulusari Village is manifested through both physical schemes (irrigation infrastructure and roads) and non-physical initiatives (nutritional health and youth development). The Village Head implements a progressive-participatory leadership style that integrates instructive, consultative, and participatory functions throughout every stage of policy-making. Nevertheless, community participation has not yet reached an optimal level due to structural barriers, specifically low collective awareness and village budget constraints. This research contributes to the development of village leadership models based on strengthening social capital as a prerequisite for village autonomy, in alignment with national regulatory mandates.

Irrational use of medicines poses significant health risks, particularly in communities with limited access to pharmaceutical information. This study aimed to evaluate short-term changes in knowledge following education on DAGUSIBU (Get, Use, Store, and Dispose of Medicines Properly) and Beyond Use Date (BUD) among mothers attending Posyandu Jeruk, Semarang. The activity employed a pre–post evaluative design without a control group and involved 20 participants. Knowledge levels were assessed using a structured questionnaire administered before and immediately after the educational session. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The mean knowledge score increased from 5.75 to 7.40 (p = 0.001), indicating a statistically significant short-term improvement in knowledge. These findings suggest that DAGUSIBU and BUD education was associated with an immediate increase in participant knowledge; however, causal relationships and long-term impacts cannot be inferred from this study.
