YOGYAKARTA CITY (UII News). The Gebyar Lansia event marked the culmination of the Thematic Community Service Program (KKN) by the Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII) Integrated Elderly Services Program (LLT) in Yogyakarta City, specifically in Purbayan and Gedongkiwo villages. The Gebyar Lansia event in Purbayan Village was held at the Purbayan Sports Hall on 9 Sha’ban 1445 H / February 19, 2024, attended by elderly experts from the Yogyakarta City Bappeda, Kotagede District Chief, Purbayan Village Head, Purbayan Elderly Commission Chairman, the Head of the UII KKN Center, and UII KKN Field Supervising Lecturers in Purbayan.
Rahmanto, S.Fil., M.A., an elderly expert from the Yogyakarta City Bappeda, in his speech, expressed happiness about the KKN students’ concern for the elderly and hoped the program could continue sustainably. Meanwhile, Komaru Ma’arif, the Kotagede District Chief, mentioned other ongoing assistance provided by KKN students from other universities, such as maintaining cultural heritage objects or buildings and assisting with tourism potential in Purbayan. According to him, all of these are part of the Gandeng Gendong Yogyakarta City program, which involves universities as one of its components.
The Gebyar Lansia activities in Purbayan concluded with an expo showcasing KKN outputs, such as modules on Inheritance and Will Law, Pressure Ulcer Prevention, Post Power Syndrome, Effective Communication with the Elderly, Hypertension and Stroke Education, Elderly Medication, Household Chemicals, Elderly Health and Nutrition, Elderly-Friendly Home Analysis, Physical & Social Activities for the Elderly, Purbayan LLT Analysis, Elderly Worship Guidebook, and the development of an Emergency Bracelet for elderly living alone, among various door prize raffles.
Meanwhile, the Gebyar Lansia in Gedongkiwo Village was held on 16 Sha’ban 1445 / February 26, 2024, at Joglo Bale Witana Gedongkiwo, attended by the Gedongkiwo Village Head, Gedongkiwo Elderly Commission Chairman, representatives from UII’s DPPM, and UII KKN Field Supervising Lecturers in Gedongkiwo.
Rina Budi Prastiwi, S.IP., M.Si., the Gedongkiwo Village Head, expressed hope for the program’s sustainability and that the efforts by UII KKN students would serve as a foundation for strengthening the LLT commission, developing LLT programs, and empowering the economy through the LLT scheme. She also requested UII KKN students to further promote the GoLanTang (Go Resilient Elderly) BKKBN application.
Unlike the expo in Purbayan Village, which featured more modules, the expo in Gedongkiwo Village showcased more products, such as peyek (crackers), herbal drinks, snacks, salted eggs, tempeh burgers, eco-enzyme soap, and many more.

Festivity for the Elderly, Marks the Conclusion of Thematic Community Service Program (KKN) by UII-LLT
UII KKN Students Create GEULIS V2

KOTAGEDE (UII News). A simple innovation to help minimize potential emergencies or send emergency notifications for the elderly (especially those living alone) to their family members (who may live separately or far away) has been successfully created by Kern Cesarean Ahnaf, a student from the Electrical Engineering Department, Faculty of Industrial Technology (FTI), Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII). This was achieved during the UII Thematic KKN program for Integrated Elderly Services (LLT), in collaboration with the Yogyakarta City Government, from 7 Rajab to 9 Sha’ban 1445 H (19 January to 19 February 2024).
Kern Cesarean Ahnaf, commonly known as Kern, was part of unit 1 for the KKN LLT in the Gedongan area, Purbayan Village, Kotagede District. The idea for the IoT (Internet of Things)-based assistive device in the form of a bracelet came from Kern’s observations at the beginning of the KKN LLT program. He noted that out of 177 elderly residents in Gedongan (Purbayan), 12 lived alone without family support.
According to Kern, this situation could potentially lead to serious emergency issues that go unnoticed.
“Starting from this problem, the use of IoT presents a promising solution. Each elderly person will be equipped with an IoT device in the form of a bracelet. When activated (i.e., the button is pressed), it will send an emergency notification via WhatsApp (WA),” he explained.
Besides notifications, Kern mentioned that several features could be added to the GEULIS bracelet, such as location detection, fall detection, a SIM card, a dedicated application, or a specially designed BOT for the GEULIS bracelet.
Although still simple, Kern hopes his innovation can be further refined and mass-produced to help elderly individuals living alone throughout Indonesia.

UII Releases Participants of KKN Period 68
KALIURANG (UII News). “KKN is one of the forefronts of UII’s role in direct community engagement. We will often engage in discussions with the community. We start by trying to listen to what the community has to say. There is a Javanese proverb that says ‘Deso mowo coro,’ which means every village/location has customs and traditions that have been established universally and passed down through generations. Do not violate them. Because violating them may potentially lead to poor communication during KKN. Learn, observe, and respect the culture within the community. Hopefully, this will serve as preparation throughout the KKN period. Be cautious. Take care of yourselves. Take care of your group and also uphold the good name of UII.”
Thus were some of the important messages conveyed by the Vice Rector for Academic Development and Research of Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII), Prof. Jaka Nugraha, Dr., S.Si., M.Si., during his address at the Release of UII KKN Students for Period 68 of the Even Semester of the Academic Year 2023/2024 at the Prof. Abdul Kahar Muzakir Auditorium on Thursday, 6 Rajab 1445 H / January 18, 2024.
The Director of the Directorate of Research and Community Service (DPPM) of Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII), Eko Siswoyo, ST., M.Sc.ES., Ph.D., in his report, mentioned that for the UII KKN period 68, there were 998 participants spread across 119 units, with 16 units supporting the Integrated Elderly Services Program (LLT) of the Yogyakarta City Government, 5 units assisting in the development and/or internationalization of Kebonagung Tourism Village (Imogiri, Bantul), 7 units assisting in the development of Sendangsari Tourism Village (Kulonprogo), 2 units facilitating participants with special obstacles, and the remaining 89 units spread across various regions such as Bantul Regency, Gunungkidul Regency, Kulonprogo Regency, and Magelang Regency.
The send-off was also marked by the wearing of UII’s academic gown by one male and one female representative of the participants, done by Prof. Jaka Nugraha, Dr., S.Si., M.Si., witnessed by the Director of DPPM UII (Eko Siswoyo, ST., M.Sc.ES., Ph.D.) and the Head of the UII KKN Service Center (dr. Edi Fitriyanto, M.GIZI).
The event concluded with a joint prayer led by Drs. Aden Wijdan SZ., M.Si.

Achmad Gani, SE., M.Si., during a visit to the Directorate of Research and Community Service (DPPM) of Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII), on Thursday, 15 Jumadilakhir 1445 H / December 28, 2023 AD.
This desire was warmly welcomed by the Director of UII DPPM, Eko Siswoyo, ST., M.Sc.ES., Ph.D. He extensively discussed the implementation of MBKM, the research conducted by lecturers and lab assistants, the research proposal process, and the management of KKN. He mentioned that UII DPPM is currently the backbone in advancing research and the application of scientific knowledge in the academic environment, as well as promoting the application of this knowledge for the benefit of the wider community.
Raden Edi Fitriyanto, M.GIZI, the Head of the UII KKN Service Center, who was also present, warmly welcomed the guests and provided additional information regarding the implementation of UII’s KKN, both regular and thematic.
During the visit, representatives from UMI Makassar also provided an overview of their research management and KKN activities.
