Engaging Underserved Areas: Community Service Approaches for Outskirt Development
Downloads
This study explores innovative community service strategies aimed at empowering underserved and marginalized communities located in outskirt regions. Outskirt areas often face structural limitations, including limited access to education, health services, economic resources, and technological infrastructure. Through a participatory and community-based service approach, this research identifies practical methods for fostering sustainable development, capacity building, and social empowerment. Drawing on qualitative data from field observations, focus group discussions, and stakeholder interviews, the study uncovers key success factors in outreach programs—namely, contextual relevance, cross-sector collaboration, and inclusive planning. The findings reveal that community engagement rooted in local wisdom and adapted to specific socio-cultural conditions can significantly enhance the effectiveness and acceptance of service initiatives. The study offers a framework for educational institutions, NGOs, and government bodies to align their community service models with the real needs of peripheral populations, promoting equity and long-term impact.
