Abstract

The arrangement of the Paya Ilang Traditional Market in Central Aceh Regency aims to organize trading activities within the designated market building. However, this initiative faces challenges as vendors are reluctant to use the provided facilities, leaving the market building vacant and poorly maintained. This study seeks to evaluate the role of local government in the development and enhancement of traditional markets and to identify factors influencing the success of market regulation. A qualitative approach was employed, incorporating in-depth interviews, field observations, and analysis of relevant documents. The findings reveal several critical issues, including ineffective communication between the government and vendors, unsuitable market building conditions (such as inadequate lighting and ventilation), and a lack of strict enforcement of regulations. Additionally, limited access roads and insufficient parking space exacerbate the problems. The study concludes that renovating the market building with active involvement from vendors is crucial to achieving mutual understanding. The government must improve communication, provide clear guidance, and enforce regulations rigorously to raise vendor awareness of the importance of cleanliness, comfort, and public order. Market revitalization is anticipated to address these challenges while enhancing the market’s appeal as a modern and orderly trading hub.

Abstract

Abstract Collaborative learning is an important approach in improving the quality of vocational higher education in the era of globalization. This study aims to analyze the role of collaborative learning in improving student achievement at the Aceh Barat State Community Academy. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this research involved in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies with student and lecturer participants from three D-II study programs. The results showed effective implementation of Project-Based Learning, Problem-Based Learning, and Team-Based Learning models in different study programs. Collaborative learning is proven to improve academic achievement with an increase in average GPA by 0.35 points and an increase in practical skills by 22%. In addition, there were significant improvements in soft skills: communication (28%), teamwork (35%), and problem solving (31%). The main supporting factors include institutional policy support and lecturer readiness, while the main challenges include time constraints and the diversity of student backgrounds. This study concludes that collaborative learning plays an important role in improving the quality of Community Academy graduates, but requires implementation strategies tailored to the context of vocational education. Keywords:Collaborative Learning; Vocational Education; Student AchievementAbstrakPembelajaran kolaboratif menjadi pendekatan penting dalam meningkatkan kualitas pendidikan tinggi vokasi di era globalisasi.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the impact of the quality of public services on community satisfaction in the Kute Panang District, Central Aceh Regency. The survey method was used to distribute questionnaires to 127 respondents to represent the people who live in the area. The data that has been collected is then processed, presented, and analyzed using non-parametric Chi-Square statistics with a significance level ???? = 0.05. The research results showed that the quality of public services with indicators of physical evidence, empathy, reliability, responsiveness, and guarantees positively and significantly affected public satisfaction. However, it was still found that 40.94% of the public rated the quality of service as "not good" and "not good" so community satisfaction felt less than expected for 18 respondents or 0.41%. For this reason, the quality of service in this sub-district area still needs to be improved through increasing physical evidence, empathy, reliability, responsiveness, and comprehensive guarantees.

Abstract

Smallholder coffee systems require effective governance to balance rural livelihoods and environmental sustainability. This study examines how gender exclusion shapes governance effectiveness and sustainability outcomes in the Gayo Highlands, Indonesia. Using qualitative interviews and policy analysis, it explores how institutional arrangements influence land management, climate resilience, and value chain dynamics. The findings reveal that fragmented regulations, weak coordination, and limited participation of women in land ownership, cooperative leadership, and decision-making processes undermine governance effectiveness and agroecosystem resilience. These conditions encourage short-term land-use strategies, reduce investment in soil conservation and agroforestry, and increase vulnerability to climate change. Women’s participation remains largely symbolic, limiting the integration of local ecological knowledge into governance processes. The study concludes that gender exclusion constitutes a key structural barrier to sustainable coffee systems. Improving sustainability therefore requires strengthening institutional coordination, expanding women’s access to resources and leadership, and embedding gender-responsive mechanisms within governance structures. It further recommends adopting gender-inclusive polycentric governance to enhance accountability, support adaptive decision-making, and improve environmental outcomes in smallholder coffee systems.
