Abstract

Community Service Learning (CSL) is the implementation of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education, focused on community service and serving as a practical learning experience for students. The Regular CSL program in Saloloang Village, Penajam Sub-district, Penajam Paser Utara District, was conducted from July 14 to August 20, 2025, with a focus on the fields of environment, health, law, social issues, and economics. The main program activities included creating a video profile of tourism potential, beach cleanup initiatives, installing educational waste signs, installing street name signs, promoting healthy living behaviors (handwashing, toothbrushing, healthy snacks), empowering community legal awareness, developing TOGA, and empowering SMEs through digitalization strategies and the implementation of QRIS. The results of the implementation show an increase in public awareness about beach cleanliness, the health of elementary school children, and legal understanding in reporting criminal acts. Additionally, the SMEs in Kampung Lidi successfully obtained support for business digitalization, and a tourism map of Tanjung Jumlai Beach was created as a tool for promoting local tourism. Thus, the KKN activities in Saloloang Village not only provide direct benefits to the community but also strengthen local capacity in managing regional potential sustainably.
