Pengabdian Masyarakat Terpadu untuk Penataan Lingkungan dan Literasi di Desa Cirarab

Abstract

This Community Service Program (PKM) was carried out in Cirarab Village, Legok District, Tangerang Regency, as an effort to address issues of low digital literacy, limited reading literacy facilities, and the lack of organized village environmental identity. The PKM activities included a socialization session on the dangers of fictitious (fake) links attended by 15 community members, the establishment of a reading corner based on recycled materials, and environmental organization through the installation of street and religious assembly name signs. The evaluation of the activities was conducted qualitatively through direct observation and question-and-answer sessions with three community representatives, without using pretests or posttests. The results showed that participants gained an initial understanding of the characteristics of fictitious links and the importance of information verification, the reading corner began to be used by children as a learning facility, and the village environment became more organized and easier to recognize. This activity demonstrates that community participation–based PKM can serve as an effective initial step in strengthening literacy and improving village environmental organization.
