ABSTRACT
Digitalization of rural communities is a strategic approach to promoting local potential and empowering communities through the utilization of information technology. Kwau Village, located in Mokwam District, Manokwari Regency, possesses considerable tourism, cultural, and local resource potential that has not been optimally promoted through digital media. This community service program aimed to introduce a village website as a platform for digitalization and promotion of local potential while enhancing community capacity in website management. A participatory approach was employed through observation, interviews, socialization, training, mentoring, and qualitative evaluation. The socialization activities were attended by 37 participants, while 25 participants actively took part in website development and management training. Four village youths were trained as website administrators to support the sustainability of website management. The results showed that participants were able to understand the functions and utilization of the website as a medium for information dissemination and local promotion. Furthermore, a village website was successfully developed containing 13 articles, 11 photographs, and 3 videos presenting village profiles, tourism attractions, cultural heritage, and local products. Although challenges related to limited technological infrastructure and internet access remain, the program demonstrates that a participatory approach combined with simple technological solutions can effectively support village digitalization and expand the promotion of local potential in a sustainable manner.
