Youth play a crucial role in social development and serve as agents of change contributing to national progress. Karang Taruna, as a youth organization, has a strategic role in enhancing social welfare, including in Mekarjati Village. Since its establishment on November 10, 2013, Karang Taruna Mekarjati has grown with 13 subunits in each neighborhood unit (RW), serving a community of 11,881 people. However, the organization's business processes, such as member registration, social activity management, leadership training, and the formation and monitoring of MSMEs or startups, are still conducted manually. This results in operational inefficiencies and increases the risk of administrative errors. This study aims to design and develop a web-based system called "Youth Innovation Village" to support the digitalization of Karang Taruna Mekarjati’s management. The system is built using the Laravel Framework, with process modeling based on Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN), the PHP programming language, and the MySQL database. The software development approach used is Agile Scrum, allowing flexibility in adapting to the organization's needs throughout the system development life cycle. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of Youth Innovation Village significantly enhances the effectiveness and efficiency of Karang Taruna’s management. The system accelerates membership administration, optimizes social activity coordination, and provides direct benefits to the organization's members in Mekarjati Village. Through this digitalization, Karang Taruna can become more adaptive to technological advancements and expand its social impact more effectively.

Kata Kunci: Malaria, Penyuluhan Masyarakat, Karang Taruna ABSTRACT Hurun Village is characterized by topographic conditions conducive to the breeding of malaria mosquitoes. Within the village, there are three abandoned ponds with significant potential for breeding malaria mosquitoes, contributing to the persistent incidence of malaria. Effective control and elimination efforts require continuous and coordinated action, involving both village officials and actively engaged community groups. Among these groups, Karang Taruna stands out for its proactive involvement in Hurun Village. The community, particularly its youth organizations, plays a pivotal role in malaria case detection. Thus, enhancing the capacity of Karang Taruna members in detecting malaria cases in Hurun Village is essential. This study aims to enhance community and Karang Taruna participation in malaria prevention efforts. Our approach involved community outreach, training sessions on malaria case detection for Karang Taruna members, provision of equipment to interrupt the malaria transmission chain, and the installation of mosquito nets in residents' homes. Following the implementation of these service activities, there was a notable increase in participants' knowledge and understanding of malaria. This improvement was particularly valuable as participants demonstrated high enthusiasm and receptiveness to the activities. The community service activities undertaken successfully heightened participants' understanding and knowledge of malaria. Additionally, they equipped members of the Karang Taruna health division with essential skills for conducting thick and thin blood smears. The activities also fostered motivation among Karang Taruna members and village officials to prioritize malaria prevention, emphasizing the importance of providing relevant anti-mosquito medications and piloting mosquito net installations in households.

The obstacles faced by Karang Taruna in participating in managing tourist attractions are weak knowledge in management management, weaknesses in mastering technology, and foreign languages because many foreign tourists are starting to come. The challenge is that Karang Taruna is required to master everything as well as possible, because the management of tourism in Warnasari Village is not possible forever by investors and the surrounding community only gets some of the benefits because many things that cannot be denied are hampering progress in tourism, causing economic progress to be hampered. .

The Changing Nature of Business Process Modeling
  • Jan 1, 2009
  • Brian H Cameron

Business process modeling (BPM) is a topic that is generating much interest in the information technology (IT) industry today. Business analysts, process designers, system architects, software engineers, and systems consultants must understand the foundational concepts behind BPM and evolving modeling standards and technologies that have the potential to dramatically change the nature of phases of the systems development life cycle (SDLC). Pareto’s 80/20 rule, as applied to the SDLC, is in the process of being drastically altered. In the past, approximately 20 % of the SDLC was spent on analysis and design activities with the remaining 80 % spent on systems development and implementation (Weske, Goesmann, Holten, & Striemer, 1999). Today, with the introduction of the Business Process Management Initiative (BPMI), Web services, and the services-oriented architecture (SOA), the enterprise SDLC paradigm is poised for a dramatic shift. In this new paradigm, approximately 80 % of the SDLC is spent on analysis and design activities with the remaining 20 % spent of systems development and implementation. Once referred to as workflow and process automation, business process modeling (BPM) has evolved into a suite of interrelated components providing significant business value. Emerging BPM technologies will be the primary vehicle by which current application portfolios transition to service-oriented architectures and Web services (Aversano, & Canfora, 2002). Business Process Management Initiative’s Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) subgroup is currently finalizing a standardized notation for business process modeling. Although the notation is still in working draft format, system architects and designers should consider incorporating the concepts of BPM into their current and future systems analysis and design procedures.

Based on the results of testing the POC concentration on the height of rice plants, it was shown that POC spraying with a concentration of 0.6% was able to increase plant height after 30 days of planting. Meanwhile, spraying 0.4% and 0.6% POC on 60-day-old plants showed only a slight difference in height. In addition, giving POC with a concentration of 0.2% was able to increase the number of tillers at the age of 30 and 60 days. After conducting training on the production and marketing of POC in Karang Taruna, Dusun Malasan, more than 85% of the members of the Youth Organizations were able to practice the POC production and marketing process.
