TECHNOLOGY-BASED COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT: SMART FARMING, AQUAPONICS, AND DTF APPLICATIONS IN KERANGGAN ECOTOURISM
Abstract
Keranggan Ecotourism in South Tangerang holds significant potential for developing nature-based tourism and creative economy initiatives; however, it faces challenges such as limited technological adoption, lack of business diversification, and low community capacity. To address these issues, this community service program introduced solutions through the application of IoT-based smart farming for cassava cultivation, aquaponics systems, and Direct to Film (DTF) technology for the creative industry. The implementation methods included socialization, training, technology installation, evaluation, and continuous mentoring. Activities were conducted from August to September 2025 in the Keranggan Ecotourism area, involving the local tourism awareness group (Pokdarwis) and residents of RW 12, with 30 participants attending the socialization stage and 26 participants attending the training sessions. Questionnaire results indicated an effectiveness rate of 80,35%, reflecting significant improvements in knowledge, skills, and technology adoption. Smart farming enhanced cassava cultivation efficiency, aquaponics provided sustainable food production while serving as an educational attraction, and DTF opened opportunities for creative businesses through tourism merchandise. The program outputs include the implementation of appropriate technology, strengthened community capacity, and the establishment of a technology- and local wisdom-based ecotourism empowerment model that can be replicated in other regions.
