Abstract

The study titled "Study of the Variety of Local Snacks and Pastries in Medan City: Uniqueness, Preferences, and Culinary Culture" explores the rich diversity of Medan's local snacks and pastries, highlighting their historical roots, cultural significance, and evolving culinary trends. Key findings reveal that traditional snacks like Bika Ambon, Bolu Meranti, Martabak Har, and Getuk Banana each carry unique histories and traditional recipes, reflecting Medan's culinary heritage. Modern pastry trends, incorporating Western influences with local flavors, showcase the dynamic interplay between tradition and innovation. Preferences for these snacks and pastries are influenced by both rational factors, such as price and quality, and emotional and cultural factors, including family habits and childhood memories. The study underscores the multifaceted nature of food preferences and the importance of respecting local culinary traditions while embracing global influences. This comprehensive understanding of Medan's culinary landscape not only celebrates its ethnic diversity and historical richness but also serves as a foundation for sustainable culinary tourism development. By promoting and preserving traditional snacks alongside modern pastries, Medan can attract tourists, strengthen its regional culinary identity, and empower the local economy. Data collection methods include participant observation and in-depth interviews with business owners, sellers, and consumers, providing valuable insights into the role of culinary delights in Medan's culture.

Here are the two research questions used: (1) How can the Sustainable Livelihood Approach (SLA) be effectively implemented to optimize the development of tourism activities in Huta Tinggi Tourism Village? (2) What are the key challenges and opportunities in fostering community involvement and empowerment for sustainable tourism development in Huta Tinggi Tourism Village? Methodology: This study uses a qualitative research approach with narrative/descriptive research methods. The key informants in this study were the Head of Pangururan Sub-District, the Manager of the Huta Tinggi Tourism Village, and the local community. Findings: This study found that Huta Tinggi Tourism Village has significant potential for the development of culture- and nature-based tourism, offering attractions such as traditional cooking, Batak Toba cultural art classes, and activities like buffalo milking and coffee harvesting. However, community participation in tourism management remains low, highlighting the need for human resource empowerment through training, facility improvements, and raising awareness of the importance of tourism. Conclusion: Huta Tinggi Tourism Village offers unique cultural attractions and local wisdom that appeal to both domestic and international tourists. To maximize the potential of this village, stages of human resource development, including awareness, skill transformation, and intellectual enhancement, are essential. Ensuring adequate facilities, financial management training, community involvement, and continuous monitoring will further enhance the quality of tourist experiences and support sustainable development in Huta Tinggi.

Abstract

Climate change, environmental degradation, and ecosystem destruction demand the adoption of eco-friendly practices in economic activities. Beyond environmental benefits, such practices enhance economic competitiveness, particularly for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Tanjung Rejo Mangrove Tourism Village in Medan Belawan exemplifies the integration of sustainable tourism with mangrove ecosystem conservation and local economic empowerment through homestays, tour guides, and environmentally-based products. This study evaluates the effectiveness of eco-friendly training for 30 local MSMEs using participatory methods with pre-test and post-test instruments. Results indicate significant improvements across ten indicators (25%-56%), notably in production waste management (56%) and consumer awareness of eco-friendly products (45%). The training successfully catalyzed behavioral transformation toward sustainable business practices, yielding dual impacts on ecosystem preservation and MSME economic competitiveness. Findings demonstrate that structured capacity-building programs can drive collective environmental awareness while strengthening local economies. Recommendations include developing advanced training modules, fostering multi-sector collaboration, and establishing incentive systems for MSMEs consistently implementing eco-friendly practices.
