Abstract

In the midst of the times, digitalization has proven to be one of the keys to business resilience and sustainability, especially MSMEs which are one of the business categories that have been quite hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the areas in East Java that mobilizes the community of MSME actors is Laban Village, Menganti District, Gresik. Laban Central Park is a forum for many local MSME actors from Laban Village, but not many of the MSME actors have enough knowledge about business digitalization and can apply this knowledge, even though the benefits have proven to be quite large for business progress in the future. Therefore, based on the results of interviews and sharing sessions that have been conducted, a work program has been prepared to introduce or increase knowledge about business digitalization for MSME actors in Laban Village, especially in Laban Central Park. The work program is carried out with the stages of observation, socialization, and assistance to use social media and digital wallets as business tools, with the hope that participants can apply digitalization to advance their businesses. Suggestions that can be given based on the observation and implementation of activities are so that there is a follow-up or program that is implemented in the long term so that assistance for MSME actors, especially for middle-aged people, can be carried out more intensively and in detail so that they can continue to hone the abilities and habits of MSME actors in using business digitalization technology.

Abstract

The research aims to analyze how the Human Development Index, Gross Domestic Product Growth, and Unemployment Rate affect the Poverty Rate in East Java Province during the period 2017 - 2024. The research sample uses data from all districts and cities in East Java. It employs a quantitative method based on panel regression analysis with fixed effects panel data technique, which combines time series data with cross-sectional data, allowing for more efficient estimation and control for unobserved individual heterogeneity. The findings of the study indicate that all three independent variables significantly influence the poverty rate together. However, poverty is only significantly negatively impacted by economic expansion, at least to some extent. There is no statistically significant relationship between the Human Development Index and the unemployment rate, although the direction of the relationship aligns with economic theory. This result highlights the importance of developing inclusive economies as a strategy to reduce poverty in the region.

Abstract

Waqf represents a powerful economic instrument with substantial potential to empower communities, particularly in countries with large Muslim populations. In the digital era, innovations in the management of productive waqf offer new opportunities to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of waqf fund utilization. This study aims to explore innovative models of productive waqf management and their impact on community economic empowerment. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, this research conducts a comprehensive literature review of journal articles, books, and other relevant sources to analyze digital waqf practices in developing countries. The findings reveal that digital innovations—such as crowdfunding platforms, blockchain technology, and mobile applications—can significantly improve the efficiency, accountability, and outreach of waqf management. These technologies hold substantial potential to expand waqf fundraising, enhance transparency, and facilitate greater public participation. Nevertheless, several challenges persist, including low digital literacy, limited public trust in digital waqf systems, and the need to align regulatory frameworks with technological developments. This study offers insights and recommendations for policymakers and practitioners, particularly in Indonesia, to harness digital waqf innovations in supporting sustainable development and advancing community empowerment.   Abstrak Wakaf merupakan instrumen ekonomi yang kuat dengan potensi signifikan untuk memberdayakan masyarakat, terutama di negara-negara dengan populasi Muslim yang besar.

Teknologi-teknologi ini menawarkan potensi untuk memperluas penghimpunan dana wakaf, meningkatkan transparansi, dan memfasilitasi partisipasi publik yang lebih besar. Namun, masih terdapat tantangan, termasuk rendahnya literasi digital, terbatasnya kepercayaan publik terhadap sistem wakaf digital, dan perlunya menyelaraskan kerangka regulasi dengan perkembangan teknologi. Penelitian ini memberikan wawasan dan rekomendasi bagi para pembuat kebijakan dan praktisi, khususnya di Indonesia, dalam memanfaatkan inovasi wakaf digital untuk mendukung pembangunan berkelanjutan dan memberdayakan masyarakat.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to formulate a model for the Strategy to Enhance Competitiveness and Sustainability of SMEs in Supporting Independence in East Java. The research method is descriptive qualitative. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis techniques use 1) Data reduction, 2) Data display, 3) Data triangulation, 4) Data verification. The informant determination technique uses indepth interviews with key informants such as SME actors, relevant agency officials, representatives from East Java's SME Banks, and academics. The results of data analysis and literature review indicate that the Strategy to Enhance Competitiveness of SMEs in East Java focuses on the adoption of digital marketing (utilization of social media, marketplaces, and e-commerce), product and process innovation (development of unique and quality products, production efficiency), as well as strengthening partnerships and collaborations with various parties (government, financial institutions, large companies) to expand market access and resources. The strategy for enhancing the sustainability of MSMEs in East Java heavily relies on prudent financial management practices (cash flow management, access to affordable financing such as Prokesra and Dagulir), compliance with legal and certification requirements (PIRT, halal, BPOM), as well as the potential implementation of circular economy concepts for resource efficiency and waste reduction. The strategy supporting the independence of MSMEs in East Java focuses on a comprehensive empowerment program, including entrepreneurship training and intensive mentoring for capacity building, ease of access to capital, and facilitation of business matching and exhibitions/bazaars for network and market expansion. The active role of the government and supporting institutions is crucial in creating a conducive ecosystem. The relationship between competitiveness, sustainability, and independence of SMEs is synergistic and mutually reinforcing. Increasing competitiveness directly contributes to economic sustainability. Sustainability creates stability that allows SMEs to continue innovating and enhancing their competitiveness. Meanwhile, independence empowers SMEs to be proactive in achieving competitiveness and sustainability, with the ability to make strategic decisions and adapt to changes. Overall, SMEs in East Java have great potential to continue growing and contributing to the economy. However, sustained support through appropriate policies, relevant empowerment programs, and facilitation of access to essential resources will be key to realizing SMEs that are not only competitive and sustainable but also fully independent Keywords: Strategy for Increasing Competitiveness, Sustainability, Independence.
