Abstract

Structural poverty experienced by underprivileged communities remains a complex social problem, characterized by limited access to jobs, skills, and markets. One strategic approach to addressing this issue is community empowerment through the development of a creative economy based on local potential. This study aims to describe the process of empowering underprivileged communities through creative economy activities, including program socialization, skills training, and product marketing. The study employed a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through participant observation, structured interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis techniques with data triangulation to increase the validity of the findings. The theoretical foundation of this study rests on the theories of community empowerment, the creative economy, and local potential-based capacity development. The results show that program socialization plays a crucial role in increasing community awareness and participation in the potential of the creative economy, particularly in the utilization of household waste. Hands-on skills training has been shown to enhance participants' creativity, technical skills, and confidence in producing marketable products. Furthermore, marketing strategies through digital marketing and the use of e-commerce platforms such as Shopee contribute to expanding market reach and increasing product competitiveness, despite the ongoing constraints of limited internet access. Overall, this study confirms that the integration of socialization, skills training, and marketing is a key factor in encouraging economic independence and the sustainable empowerment of underprivileged communities through the creative economy.

This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical method.

The results show that the ornamental plant and nursery sector has great potential as an environmentally friendly local economic base, but has not been managed optimally. The main problems include limited human resource capacity, weak local institutions, limited market access, and the sector's lack of integration into regional green economy policies.

Abstract

This study examines the dynamics of digital counterspace as a platform for activism among former Acehnese Muslims who have converted to Christianity. It focuses on how digital spaces contribute to the articulation of narratives that resist the marginalization and discrimination these individuals have encountered. This resistance is expressed through shared testimonies of conversion experiences, the normalization of apostasy, and the redefining of a social identity as Acehnese Christians. Data were gathered through an ethnographic study of 65 videos produced by 5 Christian ex-Muslims, including 3 YouTubers and social media activists, and 2 in-depth interviews with one of them. The findings demonstrate that digital platforms enable Christian ex-Muslims in Aceh to re-negotiate the inseparability of their Acehnese ethnicity with Islam by reformulating their social identity as Acehnese Christians. Ultimately, this study aims to enrich the discourse on political Islam and its implications for the religious practices of subaltern minorities, drawing on experiences from Aceh, the only province in Indonesia that implements Islamic law as a sharia-based special autonomy regional government.
