Enhancing Statistical Literacy and Utilization of Crime Data through the GWR Model in Central Java and Yogyakarta Special Region

2025-05-21T13:13:24+07:00

Crime is a complex problem influenced by various structural and cultural factors, such as economic, social, and demographic conditions. Based on the 2019 Crime Statistics data published by BPS, Central Java and D.I. Yogyakarta Provinces are among the 15 provinces with the highest crime rates in Indonesia in 2018. This community service activity aims to convey the results of spatial crime analysis to local governments and the community through an applied statistical approach, especially using the Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) method. The analysis was carried out to identify factors that locally influence crime rates, as well as to provide information that can be used as a basis for formulating data-based policies. The GWR model applied shows spatial variation in the influence of variables on crime rates. This model is better than the ordinary linear regression (OLS) model. The results show that the population density variable (X2) has a significant effect on crime rates in all districts/cities. Based on the similarity of variables that significantly affect crime, six groups of districts/cities were formed. This activity is expected to encourage wider use of open government data and increase the capacity of local policy makers in using statistical approaches for more responsive and targeted development planning.

2025-06-12T21:59:57+07:00

Poklahsar "Duta Tongkol", located in Wonosari Village, Puger Sub-district, Jember, has been producing tuna tofu under the brand "As-Syauqi" since 2015. Despite its market potential, the business faces packaging challenges, particularly due to the use of thinwall plastic containers that are easily damaged and unsuitable for long-term frozen storage. With an average monthly production capacity of 100 packs, the product is currently distributed across the Jember and Bondowoso regions. This community service program aimed to assist the partner in improving product packaging by introducing vacuum-sealed packaging that better suits the product's characteristics. The team provided technical training on operating vacuum sealers and guided the partner in adjusting machine settings based on the packaging material used. This approach was implemented through hands-on demonstrations and repeated mentoring until the partner gained sufficient operational proficiency. The results showed significant improvements in packaging quality, shelf life, and visual appeal. The vacuum packaging made the product more compact, durable, and professionally presented, which contributed to higher consumer trust and competitiveness in the local market. Moreover, the partner is now able to operate the equipment independently, reducing dependency on external support. In conclusion, this program successfully enhanced product quality and empowered the partner with practical skills. It is recommended that the partner continue optimizing the use of vacuum technology and explore diverse packaging designs to reach broader market segments.
