ABSTRACT
Empowerment is a fundamental effort aimed at enhancing community capabilities and fostering greater participation in decision-making processes related to uplifting living standards. For example, Munduk is one of the tourist villages in Bali with several challenges such as the lack of appropriate tourist attraction areas to be used as an economic center and low productivity from community work. The problems have led to less optimal competitiveness in providing original income for community in the village. Therefore, community empowerment method was required to manage the potential of the village as a conservation, agricultural, coffee, and clove processing area and also tourism destination. This led to the implementation of SHIP (systemic, holistic, interdisciplinary, and participatory) ergonomics method to promote active participation of all parties in identifying problems to be fixed and determining the appropriate technology to be used. The process focused on a thorough analysis of the technology based on six criteria, including technical, economical, ergonomics, socio-cultural, energy efficiency, and environmental friendliness aspects. The method was used to provide a conducive working mechanism and quality products in accordance with the demands of the times. Moreover, ergonomics method implemented with the participation of all parties led to an increase in knowledge and understanding of community entrepreneurship by 25.3%, clove post-harvest processing productivity 22.7%, and tourist visits 5.6%.
