Abstract

This study is aimed at investigating people’s perceptions of Baitul Maal wa Tamwil (BMT). Since its first existence, BMT has operated with full of both positive and negative dynamics. Negative perceptions and stigma are adhered to this kind of microfinance institution. Therefore, this present study is also conducted to explain well-established steps in eliminating those perceptions. For BMT, people’s trust constitutes the foremost asset to exist, particularly in the process of collecting savings from customers. This research employed a qualitative-field approach by using observation, interview, and documentation. The results of this study reveal that based on the people’s negative stigma, BMT was considered resembling a conventional financial institution applying the principle of profit sharing, in which the customers pay more. Several steps to eliminate these perceptions coped with socializing groups of people, promoting baitul maal with soft loans, carrying out a door-to-door marketing strategy, and empowering the roles of Sharia Supervisory Board (DPS).

Abstract

Primary research data is collected by qualitative research methods, namely through observation, interviews, and documentation. Secondary data is obtained through the assessment of articles, books, research reports, documents, and other sources that are valid and support the theme of the research. Observations are carried out in the region and tourist attractions, while interviews are conducted to the Tourism Office and the managers of tourist attractions, communities, and tourists. The collected data is analyzed descriptively and qualitatively. The results of this study show that Pekalongan City has the prospect of becoming a halal tourism destination because it has fulfilled the components of halal tourism (attractions, access, amenities, communication, environment, supporting facilities, and celebration). On the other hand, the attractions and attractions owned by Pekalongan City are interesting and diverse. Pekalongan City has distinctive and unique local wisdom and can be an object and attraction of regional tourism. In addition, it is also supported by community security and creativity activities that support local wisdom as a tourism attraction. Culture, Islamic traditions, and local wisdom in Pekalongan City have not been maximally packaged into tourist attractions. The implication of this study is that the packaging of local wisdom into a tourist attraction will contribute to the development of regional tourism. The abandonment of local wisdom as a regional tourism attraction will negate Indonesia which is rich in cultural diversity as a differentiator with other countries in the field of halal tourism.

Abstract

Pekalongan City is known for its creative city and religious people, which can be a competitive advantage in developing halal tourism destinations. However, having that alone is insufficient; infrastructure readiness is also crucial. This paper seeks to describe public perceptions of Pekalongan City’s readiness to become a halal tourism destination in terms of its infrastructure. Primary data was collected through the random distribution of questionnaires. Using the accidental sampling method, a total of 65 people were selected as a sample. Data was also gathered through interviews with key informants, who were selected using a purposive random sampling method. The criterion is that the informants have visited tourist attractions in Pekalongan City. The secondary data was gathered through a review of books, journal articles, research reports, websites, and other sources pertinent to the research topic. This study reveals that the community has a favorable view of Pekalongan City’s tourism infrastructure in terms of attractions, access, environment, and amenities. From this perception, it is concluded that Pekalongan City deserves to be a halal tourism destination. Although a positive impression is made, there is still room for development in areas like worship facilities, public restrooms, tourist attractions’ safety and comfort, and more. This study recommends that the local government invest in infrastructure to improve tourism services. A successful regional halal tourism industry will produce a tourist-attractive halal industry. Thus, establishing a good halal tourism destination begins with ensuring the location has the necessary infrastructure in place.========================================================================================================ABSTRAK – Persepsi tentang Infrastruktur Pariwisata Halal di Pekalongan, Jawa Tengah.

Abstract

This paper aims to formulate the relationship between the halal tourism concept and maqasid sharia. This library research collected the data from Arabic books, literature, journal articles, websites, etc, then were analyzed with a content analysis strategy. This study revealed that halal tourism is carried out to realize the benefit of religion (hifdz diin) by applying Islamic teachings in tourism activities. Some of the efforts to keep Islamic teachings are providing places of worship, halal food, halal lodging, halal financial services, and others. On the other hand, maqasid sharia can be the basis for developing halal tourism, along with al-Qur'an, al-Hadith, and other relevant bases. Jaser Auda’s concept of Maqasid Sharia stated that the tourism sector is carried out to improve community welfare. At least, maqasid sharia can reinforce seeing halal tourism from Islamic perspective.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to identify and explore the role of culinary in the development of halal tourism. Two types of data are needed in this study, namely primary and secondary data. Primary data were collected through observation and interviews. Observations were carried out in several culinary centers. Interviews were conducted with five interviewees determined by purposive sampling. The data obtained were analyzed with content analysis and theme analysis to answer research questions. The results of this study show that Pekalongan City is feasible to become a halal tourism destination because the tourism component has met the criteria. The existence of culinary as a tourism amenity has contributed to halal tourism. Furthermore, the existing culinary can be a tourist attraction in itself. Both restaurants and small business actors provide halal guarantees on culinary, provided through certificates and seller guarantees. On the other hand, tourists have a good perception of Pekalongan City's cuisine, both of the variety of food, halal guarantees, and others. However, these conditions must be improved to realize the visit's satisfaction and loyalty. The existence of culinary tourism explicitly needs to be fostered to support halal tourism in Pekalongan City. For this reason, local government policies must issue regulations on culinary as a destination to support halal tourism related to halal assurance.

Abstract

Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi pemikiran Abu Hanifah dalam bidang ekonomi dan bisnis Islam. Kajian ini dikerjakan dalam kerangka penelitian pustaka (library research) dengan pendekatan kualitatif-historis. Karya Abu Hanifah berupa kitab dijadikan sumber utama data penelitian. Data sekunder berupa buku, artikel, serta dokumen lainnya yang berkaitan dengan pemikirannya, dilibatkan sebagai data pendukung. Strategi analisis isi (content analysis) digunakan untuk membahas terhadap data-data yang diperoleh guna menarik kesimpulan. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa Abu Hanifah adalah seorang ahli fikih yang berkontribusi terhadap pemikiran ekonomi dan bisnis Islam. Kontribusinya dalam bidang ekonomi tidak bisa menjadikan dirinya disebut sebagai seorang ekonom, karena pemikirannya tidak menyeluruh tentang ekonomi, hanya merupakan saran perbaikan pada akad salam, murabahah, zakat madu, muzara’ah, dan hawalah. Meskipun beberapa penulis menempatkannya sebagai pemikir ekonomi Islam fase awal. Fakta lain menunjukkan bahwa karya-karya Abu Hanifah lebih banyak dalam bidang akidah dan fikih. Adapun persoalan ekonomi hanya ditemukan pada karya murid-muridnya. Pemikiran ekonomi yang disumbangkannya bercorak fikih yang normatif-etis. Meski demikian, kontribusinya bermanfaat bagi pengembangan ekonomi di masa dahulu, sekarang, dan mendatang. Temuan ini membawa implikasi bahwa konsepsi yang dikembangkan oleh ulama klasik tetap menemukan relevansinya untuk dijadikan panduan dalam pengembangan ekonomi syariah ke depan.

Secondary data is collected through the study of books, journal articles, research reports, and others. The data collected were analyzed descriptively and qualitatively. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of tourism in Pekalongan City has involved the participation of women in management.

However, the quality and quantity need to be added and improved.

Tourism that upholds gender equality follows the concept of halal tourism.
