One way to improve community well-being is by fostering understanding and awareness so that citizens comply with applicable norms and regulations. In this community service program (PKM), participants receive knowledge in three main areas: legal aspects, community empowerment, and welfare. This approach uses a systematic delivery method and interactive question-and-answer sessions so that residents can directly participate. This approach is designed to ensure effective and equitable dissemination of knowledge. After the presentation session is complete, the activity moves to a more in-depth and collaborative stage, namely an interactive question-and-answer session. This session is deliberately designed to encourage active participation from the community as participants, creating a lively discussion atmosphere and allowing for the direct exchange of ideas and clarification of questions. The impact of the activity is evident in the increased understanding, both at the individual and group levels, of the Indonesian legal system and the mechanisms for accessing free legal aid. Furthermore, there is a growing awareness of optimizing village potential, both human and natural resources, with better quality, as well as enthusiasm for starting new businesses that are expected to stimulate local economic growth and improve the welfare of the village community as a whole. With a better understanding of the law and economic potential, it is hoped that the Permata Village community will be more proactive in utilizing local resources and building self-reliance. The success of the interaction and active participation indicates that this type of outreach has a positive long-term impact in encouraging improvements in their quality of life and future well-being.

Community empowerment through the development of the creative economy is an important strategy to improve welfare based on local potential. The community of Kalebajeng Village, Bajeng District, Gowa Regency has considerable potential to develop culinary businesses; however, their skills in processing food products with economic value remain limited. This condition necessitates a training program that can enhance the community’s practical skills. This service activity aims to provide practical knowledge and skills while encouraging housewives in Kalebajeng Village to utilize business opportunities through culinary products, particularly chicken dim sum. The method employed was participatory training using presentation, demonstration, and hands-on practice techniques. Program evaluation was carried out through participation evaluation, which assessed the level of involvement and activeness of participants in discussions and practice, and skill evaluation, which used observation sheets and assessment rubrics to measure participants’ abilities in processing and serving dim sum products. The results showed that approximately 80% of participants experienced an increase in technical skills in processing, packaging, and storing chicken dim sum, along with improved knowledge of offline and digital marketing strategies. The implication of this activity is the emergence of opportunities for the development of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the culinary sector, which can contribute to increasing household income and strengthening the village economy. Therefore, this training can serve as an effective medium for creative economic empowerment and may be replicated in other regions according to their respective culinary potentials.
