MAPPING OF POTENTIAL BUSINESS ZONES FOR MSMEs IN SOUTH KEMBANGAN USING THE ANALYTICAL HIERARCHY PROCESS (AHP) METHOD
No full textThis study emphasizes the importance of determining locations for MSMEs through a more scientific framework, with the goal of increasing MSME revenue. The Technology Readiness Level (TKT) in this study demonstrates the concept of the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), which has been used in other studies for mapping research objects. Therefore, it has direct relevance to this study, as this concept can help researchers create a map of potential business zones for MSMEs.MSMEs in South Kembangan use the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) to determine business locations, supported by expert judgment. This is then processed and calculated based on five criteria/zones: housing, offices, schools, recreation, and infrastructure. The area is divided into three clusters, each estimated to have similar area but with different zone combination characteristics.The final calculation results are divided into the most potential, namely cluster III with a total score of 0.43467, neutral, namely cluster I with a total score of 0.28525 and less potential, namely cluster II with a total score of 0.27037
BUILDING GREEN LIVELIHOODS FOR INDONESIAN MIGRANTS THROUGH WASTE SORTING INITIATIVES
No full textThis community empowerment initiative aims to promote sustainable livelihoods among Indonesian migrant workers in Penang, Malaysia, by providing education on waste sorting and promoting circular economy practices. Many migrant workers face limited economic opportunities, poor access to environmental knowledge, and inadequate formal waste management systems in their residential areas. To address these challenges, the program conducted participatory workshops on waste literacy, basic waste processing, and entrepreneurship using recyclable materials. A mini waste drop-off center managed by the migrants was also established to demonstrate practical waste sorting. The initiative led to increased environmental awareness, improved waste-handling behavior, and the potential for the development of small-scale, green businesses. Pre- and post-assessment showed a significant increase in participants' understanding and motivation to implement sustainable practices. This program not only fosters environmental responsibility but also encourages the creation of community-based waste-to-resource initiatives. By combining economic empowerment with environmental stewardship, the project contributes to inclusive development. It supports the university's commitment to community-based learning and international collaboration. The outcomes of this initiative offer a replicable model for other migrant communities facing similar socio-environmental vulnerabilities
THE SENSE OF GREEN ACCOUNTING IN MICRO BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS
No full textGreen accounting is an accounting approach that integrates environmental aspects into transaction recording, financial reporting, and business decision-making. `In the context of microenterprises, the application of green accounting is still very limited, even though microenterprises have great potential to contribute to sustainable development. One of the green activities in microenterprises is proper waste management, so that waste management supports the government's program for sustainability and the sustainability of microenterprises themselves.According to data, micro businesses contribute 15% of waste, a condition that is highly concerning. Although the amount of managed waste is quite large, accounting for 60% of total waste, the amount of unmanaged waste reaches 40%. This figure is very large, and in the future, the amount of unmanaged waste will continue to increase if not accompanied by improvements in public behavior and micro-businesses' commitment to caring for and managing waste independently. Therefore, it is crucial to provide education on how micro-businesses can reduce waste production from daily activities and how to manage waste effectively, thereby bringing benefits to their businesses, such as a cleaner, odor-free, and aesthetically pleasing business environment. Such conditions can attract customers to visit and make purchases, ultimately increasing business income or economic growth.The implementation of education and awareness on green accounting has been carried out alongside other educational programs such as tax understanding and product design for business owners within the PERMAI community. PERMAI is an official community organization that assists Indonesian expatriates in Malaysia in conducting business or trade activities. Indonesian expatriates who are members of PERMAI engage in business activities with relatively limited knowledge. Waste management from their business processes is not yet fully understood in terms of its benefits, so educating them about green accounting can open up opportunities for greater benefits. After the education program, participants have begun to understand the importance of green accounting and its impact on their businesses
EMPOWERING COMMUNITIES THROUGH HYDROPONIC FARMING AS A SUSTAINABLE APPROACH TO FOOD SECURITY IN URBAN INDONESIA
No full textFood security has become a strategic issue in urban Indonesia as agricultural land continues to shrink due to housing, infrastructure, and development projects. This condition has led to the heavy dependence of major cities, such as Jakarta, on vegetable supplies from surrounding regions. At the same time, the demand for healthy, fresh, and pesticide-free vegetables is increasing, in line with government campaigns on balanced nutrition and efforts to reduce stunting. However, previous studies have mostly focused on the technical aspects of hydroponic farming or short-term economic impacts, while research connecting hydroponics with community empowerment strategies for urban food self-sufficiency remains limited. This study employed a participatory approach through training, mentoring, and demonstration of simple hydroponic installations. Respondents were recruited using snowball sampling, involving households, neighborhood communities, schools, and universities. The findings reveal that hydroponics not only produces fresher, longer-lasting, and pesticide-free vegetables but also functions as a tool for empowerment by enhancing skills, strengthening community solidarity, and creating economic opportunities through the sale of vegetables and hydroponic installations. The study implies that hydroponics can serve as a sustainable strategy to address urban food security challenges while fostering micro-level food resilience at the household, school, and community levels
STRENGTHENING FOOD SAFETY AND VOLUNTEER EMPOWERMENT THROUGH THE SIGAP PROGRAM IN LENGKONG MBG KITCHEN
No full textCommunity kitchens play an essential role in ensuring the provision of nutritious and safe meals, particularly in large-scale government-supported initiatives such as the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) program in Tangerang Selatan. The Lengkong MBG kitchen, which produces thousands of portions daily, faces persistent challenges in food safety, staff training, and operational management. The SIGAP (Siap Jaga Gizi dan Pangan Aman) program was introduced to address these issues through HACCP-based training, development of visual SOPs, manual stock recording systems, and structured volunteer engagement. This paper qualitatively documents the implementation process involving 47 local volunteers, one nutritionist, and two administrative staff. Results indicate improvement in food safety awareness, operational documentation, and volunteer empowerment, with ongoing challenges particularly regarding non-compliance with personal protective equipment (PPE). The program framed volunteers as “kitchen heroes” preparing meals for the nation’s golden generation, reinforcing intrinsic motivation to uphold food safety practices. HACCP simulations with simple case studies emphasized the importance of vigilance. At the end of the program, 50 aprons were donated as mandatory PPE. The findings underline the critical role of participatory action in building sustainable food safety systems in community kitchens across Indonesia
LEVERAGING AI-BASED VISUAL LEARNING MEDIA TO ENHANCE ELEMENTARY STUDENTS’ READABILITY AND LEARNING MOTIVATION
No full textThis study aims to explore the effectiveness of using Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the creation of child-friendly infographics through a case study at SDIT Nurul Amal. The background of this research is based on the need for visual learning media that are engaging, easy to understand, and appropriate for the cognitive development stage of elementary school students. The research method employed a qualitative approach with a simple experimental design, involving 30 fourth-grade students randomly divided into an experimental group using AI-generated infographics via Canva and a control group using manually designed infographics. The research instruments included comprehension tests, observations, student reflection sheets, and semi-structured interviews. The findings revealed that the experimental group achieved higher comprehension and retention scores compared to the control group. Observations and interviews further demonstrated that students were more enthusiastic, found it easier to grasp the content, and felt more motivated when engaging with AI-based infographics. In contrast, manual infographics presented readability challenges and often led to boredom. These results align with multimedia learning theory, which emphasizes the importance of combining text and visuals, and strengthen the notion that AI can serve as a creative collaborator in educational design. This study recommends the use of Canva AI in developing visual learning media in elementary schools to enhance readability, motivation, and student retention

SPATIAL RECONFIGURATION THROUGH EDIBLE URBAN FARMING: DESIGNING SOCIAL INTERACTION SPACES IN VERTICAL URBAN KAMPONG
No full textA city is inseparable from the presence of settlements, as residential environments are fundamental to the formation of urban areas. In cities, settlements vary in form, commonly divided into formal and informal types. Urban kampong are a form of informal settlement whose existence, though sometimes seen as a challenge to urban order, is a natural and enduring component of the city. One essential element within these settlements is the availability of social interaction spaces—places where residents can engage in daily encounters and strengthen community ties. In Kampung Kunir vertical housing, however, such spaces are either absent or underutilized. Several potential areas exist, but they remain as residual spaces with no clear function or value to the community. This initiative seeks to revitalize those neglected spaces by introducing edible gardens through vegetable planting. By transforming passive spaces into productive, interactive areas, the program not only enhances spatial quality but also fosters social engagement among residents. This community engagement effort—driven by interdisciplinary collaboration between architecture and economic management—provides multidimensional benefits. It empowers residents socially, improves spatial utilization, and contributes to small-scale urban sustainability. Ultimately, it reflects a human-centered approach to designing inclusive, responsive urban environments within dense residential settings
