to provide students with the opportunity to experience real life in society and apply the knowledge and skills they have acquired to their field of study.
Through this program, students can specifically participate in preparing real work programs for the needs of village communities with street signs indicating addresses that are clear and easy for the village community to understand.
To achieve this, students must interact with village communities, understand the needs and challenges they face, and look for sustainable solutions that have a positive impact.
An example of a village targeted for implementing this program is Bukit Batu Village in Manggai District.
Kapuas Regency.

Kapuas Regency.
However, unfortunately this village does not yet have adequate street signage.
This can be a challenge for village residents and visitors in finding the desired address.

Nameplates are very important for showing addresses in an area, as information boards indicating residents' home addresses, street names, and as the identity of an area where they live.
Street/area nameplates have the function of indicating the direction and address of a place (Kiani & Sulistiyanto, 2023.

Without street signs, people will have difficulty finding the place or location they are going to.
Currently, people often have difficulty finding the address they are looking for because there are no clear directions along the way.
Lack of clear street signage can cause inconvenience and waste time in searching for the desired address.
Street signage that is difficult to see can also be a potential problem during an emergency, such as a fire or natural Because in situations like this, the rescue team or fire department really needs fast and accurate address information to get to the right place.
Incorrect address information can hinder rescue efforts and cause unnecessary losses.
Apart from that, making signs that are easy to read and visible can also increase the attractiveness and beauty of an area.

students with their contribution to installing street address signboards, which is one of the village's shortcomings and needs help to be overcome.
This activity was held in Bukit Batu Village.
Mantangai District.
Kapuas Regency.
The data collection method used is direct interaction with the community to communicate and discuss the shortcomings of this village.
This village does not yet have adequate street signage.
This can be a challenge for villagers and visitors in finding the desired address.
In this effort, the role of KKN children can also be very significant.

Insufficient signage presented issues for both locals and guests in identifying addresses, which could result in lost time and further difficulty during emergencies.
This problem emphasizes how crucial infrastructureAisuch as street nameplatesAiis to everyday life, navigation, and public safety.
Students were able to recognize and address this issue by working directly with the community through the KKN program.

, 2023.
Muin et al.
