Abstract

The increase in waste generation and the lack of waste management efforts in landfills (TPA) continuously causes the capacity of the landfill to be full. Determination of the location of a new landfill designation is one solution to avoid environmental pollution problems. The purpose of this study is to determine the location of the waste landfill feasible zone based on regional criteria and determine the location of alternative waste landfill designations based on the exclusion criteria in Bathin Solapan District. This research uses primary data and secondary data. The research method used is descriptive research with a quantitative approach. In this research, the location of waste landfill is determined by adjusting SNI 19-3241-1994 and analyzed by overlay analysis and scoring. The samples in this study were several locations determined from the results of overlaying several land unit maps. Sampling was done by purposive sampling. The results showed that there was a waste landfill feasibility zone in Bathin Solapan District covering an area of 21,831.1 Ha spread across 13 villages. The alternative location of the waste landfill designation based on the elimination criteria is located in Petani Village, Jalan Rangau km 17 with a land area of 9.16 Ha and a suitability value of 664. Based on the opt-out stage analysis, the selected alternative site has a more positive socio-economic impact compared to the other sites.

Abstract

Major infrastructure developments, such as toll road construction, can significantly alter local economic dynamics by shifting accessibility patterns and consumer mobility. This study explores the sustainability of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Pasar Bengkel, Perbaungan District, North Sumatra, following the diversion of traffic due to the Medan–Tebing Tinggi toll road segment of the Trans-Sumatra Highway. Employing an integrated quantitative–strategic approach, the research combines Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with SWOT analysis to assess the effects of transportation infrastructure (X1), government policy (X2), and adaptive capacity (X3) on MSME sustainability (Y). The SEM results demonstrate that adaptive capacity exerts the most substantial influence on sustainability (β = 0.784, p < 0.001), followed by government policy support (β = 0.330, p = 0.007), whereas transportation infrastructure presents a non-significant effect (β = 0.136, p = 0.202). The structural model explains 68.7% of the variance in MSME sustainability (R² = 0.687). Complementing this, SWOT analysis places MSMEs in Quadrant II (WO strategy), reflecting high external opportunities—such as digital transformation, e-commerce access, and rest area integration—paired with internal challenges, including limited digital skills and disrupted foot traffic. These findings underscore the pivotal role of firm-level adaptability and targeted policy mechanisms in fostering resilience. The study contributes to the discourse on place-based regional planning by proposing actionable, evidence-based strategies that align infrastructure interventions with inclusive, sustainable local economic development.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of the Village Information System (Sistem Informasi Desa/SID) in accelerating rural development by examining the influence of three critical supporting factors: human resources, infrastructure, and IT services. Focusing on Kota Kualasimpang Subdistrict in Aceh Tamiang, Indonesia, the research adopts a quantitative approach involving 99 respondents selected from five villages through accidental sampling. Data were collected via structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, validity and reliability testing, classical assumption diagnostics, and multiple linear regression. The findings reveal that all three factors—human resources, infrastructure, and IT services—significantly and positively impact the acceleration of rural development. Among these, IT services exhibit the most substantial influence, highlighting the strategic importance of technological readiness in local governance. The study underscores the vital role of digital infrastructure and capacity building in promoting effective and inclusive village-level development, particularly in autonomous regions such as Aceh. The results offer empirical insights for policymakers and practitioners aiming to optimize SID implementation as a transformative tool for sustainable rural advancement.

Abstract

Amid the rise of café culture in urban Padangsidimpuan, this study examines how socio-economic preferences influence coffee-shop selection, particularly for pick-up orders. A cross-sectional survey involving 312 respondents—selected through stratified random sampling—captured consumer motivations via Likert-scale questionnaires, covering taste satisfaction, ambience, digital convenience, and perceptions of price fairness. Data were analyzed using factor analysis and partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that taste satisfaction (β = 0.33, p < 0.001) and app-based convenience (β = 0.28, p < 0.001) are the strongest predictors of café choice. Ambience contributes indirectly by fostering the intention to share experiences on social media. Segment analysis shows that pick-up customers prioritize convenience nearly twice as much as dine-in patrons, signaling a shift in consumption logic within Indonesia’s secondary cities. These findings extend consumption theory into the realm of secondary urbanization and highlight the role of lifestyle, taste, and digital habitus in shaping emergent consumer publics. This research contributes to the sociology of economic life and offers policy insights for strengthening the local creative economy.

Abstract

Anemia and stunting are significant public health issues that require immediate attention to prevent adverse impacts on maternal and child health, as well as the overall quality of human resources. One of the leading causes of maternal mortality is iron deficiency anemia, often compounded by inadequate antenatal care (ANC). In addition, poor maternal nutritional status negatively affects pregnancy outcomes, such as low birth weight, and hinders optimal growth and development in infants—factors that contribute to the risk of stunting. In both Indonesia and Vietnam, the prevalence of anemia among pregnant women remains high, ranging between 30–40%. Similarly, the prevalence of stunting in both countries is also elevated, estimated at 20–30%. Given this situation, early intervention through nutrition education for pregnant women is crucial to improve dietary patterns that meet balanced nutritional needs. Moreover, monitoring antenatal care practices is necessary to assess the level of compliance and ensure proper pregnancy management. This community engagement activity involves collaboration with health workers from the sub-health centers (Puskesmas Pembantu) in Medan, Indonesia, and Hanoi, Vietnam, as local partners. It is expected that by empowering pregnant women through nutrition education, maternal nutritional status can be improved, thereby contributing to the fulfillment of the First 1,000 Days of Life (HPK) nutrition framework and ultimately supporting efforts to prevent stunting.

Abstract

This study aims to assess the feasibility potential of mangrove ecotourism in Kuala Langsa. The feasibility of mangrove ecotourism in this area is generally intended to enhance public awareness regarding tourism development, increase knowledge about tourism potential, and improve the living standards of the local community. This research employs a qualitative survey-based approach. The results indicate that, based on the 4A concept (Attraction, Amenity, Accessibility, and Ancillary), only the accessibility aspect is currently available in the Kuala Langsa mangrove ecotourism site. Meanwhile, the attraction, amenity, and ancillary components are not yet present. Furthermore, the feasibility assessment results show that the highest score was found in the Accessibility variable, followed by the Attraction and Facilities (Amenity) variables, while the lowest was in the Accommodation variable. Overall, the area is considered feasible for further ecotourism development.
