INTRODUCTION (Cambria, size 13)

- The introduction should describe the situation analysis or objective conditions of the community service subject (assisted community), the issues and focus of the service, reasons for choosing the community service subject, and the expected social changes or goals, supported by qualitative and quantitative data. This section should be backed by relevant literature reviews. References should follow IEEE Style.

METHOD (Cambria, size 13)

- The method section should describe the joint community action planning process (community organizing), the subject, place, and location of the community service, the involvement of the subjects in the planning and organizing process, and the research methods or strategies used to achieve the expected goals and stages of the community service activities. The planning process and strategies/methods should be explained using flowcharts or diagrams.
