Abstract

The phenomenon of the “KALCER” (Run Fast, Run; If Tired, Find Ice) running community has transformed Arga Makmur Square into a lively public space and a center for creative economy. This article analyzes the symbiotic relationship between running activities and the growth of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the surrounding area. The research uses a qualitative approach with participatory observation and in-depth interviews. The results show that KALCER acts as a catalyst by providing a guaranteed and friendly market for MSMEs, especially in the culinary sector. Conversely, the presence of various MSMEs increases the attractiveness and recreational value of the running event. This symbiosis not only boosts local economic income but also revitalizes the social function of the town square as an inclusive and dynamic public space. This study concludes that collaboration between hobby communities and local MSMEs can be an effective model for circular economic development and the revitalization of public spaces in the region.

Abstract

The national priority programs on food security and the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) initiative require the active participation of cooperatives and food-sector SMEs. This study aims to analyze the contribution of the UPI Melati Mekar Jaya IKM Producer Cooperative in North Bengkulu Regency in supporting food security and the MBG program. Method: A quantitative descriptive approach with a single case study design using 56 monthly transactions of actual sales report data from November 2025 to April 2026. Analysis was conducted using the FAO’s four pillars of food security framework, SWOT analysis, and a Fishbone diagram. Results: Total sales over six months reached Rp411,869,400, with animal protein products accounting for 72.3%. Sales trends were fluctuating (CAGR 18.2%; coefficient of variation 38.5%). The SWOT analysis indicates a Quadrant I position (aggressive strategy) with an IFAS score of 3.38 and an EFAS score of 3.19. Three of the four FAO pillars are met, but the stability pillar remains weak. Four main gaps were identified: production capacity, food safety and nutrition standardization, access to financing, and institutional coordination. Conclusion: Cooperatives possess real capacity as strategic partners of the government, but require strengthening of production capacity and access to capital. Novelty: This study presents empirical evidence based on six months of real transaction data, mapping of the supply chain to SPPGs, and explicit identification of implementation gaps.
