Abstract

This study examines the internal and external factors influencing the development of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Ambon City, with particular attention to business legality through the Business Identification Number (Nomor Induk Berusaha, NIB) and halal product certification. A qualitative, descriptive-analytical approach was employed, drawing on in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis involving 20 informants comprising MSME actors and relevant stakeholders. The findings indicate that internal motivation, awareness of legal compliance, and commitment to halal principles constitute key strengths. In contrast, limited access to capital, low administrative literacy, and reliance on external facilitators emerge as significant internal constraints. Externally, free NIB registration and halal certification programs, mentoring initiatives, and improved access to financing and markets present substantial opportunities. However, these opportunities are tempered by challenges such as limited availability of halal raw materials and technical barriers associated with digital systems. A weighted SWOT analysis (Internal Factor Analysis Summary, IFAS and External Factor Analysis Summary, EFAS) identifies four strategic directions: (1) accelerating business legality and halal certification (S-O); (2) strengthening internal capacity through integrated mentoring (W-O); (3) mitigating external threats through internal discipline and regulatory adaptation (S-T); and (4) adopting defensive strategies based on business scale adjustment (W-T). The study concludes that integrating NIB registration with halal certification can enhance MSME competitiveness, expand market access, and support long-term sustainability in Ambon City.

Abstract

This study examines the role of land transportation infrastructure in the economic development of underdeveloped villages in West Seram Regency, with particular attention to household dynamics, gender dimensions, and social capital. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis in three underdeveloped villages in Elpaputih District: Ahiolo Village, Abio Village, and Watui Village. The findings indicate that severely deteriorated road conditions, the absence of public transportation, and high vulnerability to weather-related disruptions have resulted in geographic isolation that reinforces a high-cost economy. High logistics costs, ranging from 14-34% of household income, significantly reduce profit margins, constrain market access, and intensify dependence on subsistence-based economic activities. Further, gendered impacts are evident, as women disproportionately bear the burden of mobility constraints. At the same time, communities demonstrate resilience through gotong royong (mutual cooperation) and local innovations, such as the use of bamboo rafts. However, these adaptive strategies function as a form of “shock absorber” that unintentionally sustains the status quo of infrastructure failure rather than addressing its structural causes. Policy recommendations include accelerating infrastructure improvement through participatory approaches that leverage local social capital, developing multimodal transportation systems integrating land and river transport, and implementing gender-responsive interventions to enhance women’s economic access. This study concludes that without comprehensive structural interventions, these villages are likely to remain trapped in a locked-in subsistence economy.

Abstract

Small and Medium Entreprises (SMEs) play important and strategic roles in the regional economy, as well as at the national level. The SMEs refer to productive public economic operations proven to be resilient in times of crises. At the regional level, the presence of SMEs has indirectly absorbed labor and lowered unemployment, which is a constraint to economic progress. However, at the regional level, they face insignificant challenges in expanding their business, particularly in terms of production capacity and marketing strategy. The Community Service Team of Department of Development Economics of Faculty of Business and Economics of Pattimura University, provided training and science and technology diffusion. The training was delivered through counseling on improving the production capacity and marketing strategy while the science and technology diffusion was spread through the development of nutmeg syrup products. Outcomes of the Community Service activity included identifying the potential and problems developing the SMEs, as well as providing solutions by providing a more appealing container for the nutmeg syrup than the previous one, and increasing group members’ knowledge of increasing the production capacity and marketing strategy for the nutmeg syrup products.
