Abstract

The Tabut event in Bengkulu is a rich cultural tradition and has high social value, attracting the attention of many visitors. This study aims to analyze the influence of perceived cultural values on consumer purchase intentions within the context of the event. The method used is Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to test the relationships between variables. The research population consisted of 171 people, and the sample was determined using Slovin’s formula with a 5% margin of error (0.05), resulting in a sample of 120 people selected through purposive sampling. The study results show that perceived cultural values have a significant positive influence on consumer purchase intentions. A strong cultural identity encourages consumers to buy products that are perceived to represent their cultural values. Additionally, high social value plays an important role in encouraging consumers to participate in the tradition and support local business actors. Positive emotional experiences during the event also increase consumers’ desire to make purchases, where social interactions and involvement in cultural activities strengthen the emotional connection with the product. This study provides valuable insights for marketers and business actors in designing more effective strategies to attract consumers during cultural events such as Tabut

Abstract

This study aims to explore the potential of green financing as an instrument for empowering the economic activities of mosques in Indonesia. With the growing awareness of environmental sustainability and the need for economic empowerment, mosques play a strategic role as centers for social and economic activities. This study analyzes the opportunities and challenges of implementing green financing in the context of mosques, using a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews and document analysis. Green financing refers to the funding of projects that support environmental sustainability, such as renewable energy and waste management. In the context of mosques, this can mean investing in solar energy technology, efficient water management, and recycling programs, which not only reduce environmental impact but can also generate additional income and reduce the operational costs of the mosque. The results of the study indicate that green financing can strengthen the economy of mosques through various environmentally friendly initiatives. For example, installing solar panels can reduce electricity costs, while effective waste management can generate income from the sale of recycled materials. However, the study also identifies several major challenges in implementing green financing in mosques. These challenges include a lack of understanding and awareness of the benefits of green financing among mosque administrators and the community, limited human and financial resources to manage green projects, and regulations that do not fully support green financing initiatives in this sector.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a crucial role in Indonesia's economy, but the adoption of sustainability principles remains low. Green financing offers a solution to support environmentally friendly projects that can enhance the economic and environmental sustainability of MSMEs in Medan City. This study employs a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews and document studies. Data were collected from MSME owners in Medan City and analyzed using triangulation techniques to ensure the validity of the research findings. The study found that awareness and understanding of green financing among MSME actors are still low. Access to green financing is also limited due to stringent requirements and complicated procedures. However, MSMEs that successfully accessed green financing reported significant economic and environmental benefits, including operational cost efficiency and carbon emission reductions. The main challenges in implementing green financing are the lack of technical support and skills among MSME actors. Green financing has great potential to improve the sustainability of MSMEs in Medan City, but further efforts are needed to enhance accessibility and understanding. The government and financial institutions play a key role in providing supportive policies and special financing programs. Intensive education and socialization are necessary to raise awareness about the benefits of green financing. Collaboration between the government, financial institutions, and NGOs is crucial to creating an ecosystem that supports the sustainable development of MSMEs.

Abstract

This study explores how service quality, promotion, and price perception impact customer satisfaction with Go-Jek in Medan, using a quantitative approach with data gathered from questionnaires and interviews among 40 users who had used the Go-Jek app more than five times. The findings indicate that service quality does not significantly affect customer satisfaction, with a t-value of 2.437 exceeding the critical value of 1.688 and a significance level of 0.020. Conversely, promotions negatively influence customer satisfaction, evidenced by a count value of -0.639 compared to the critical value of 1.688 and a significance level of 0.527. Price perception, however, positively correlates with customer satisfaction, as shown by a count value of 5.942 surpassing the critical threshold of 1.688 and a significance of 0.000. Collectively, these factors significantly affect customer satisfaction, with an F-count of 82.143 against an F-table value of 2.87 and a significance of 0.000. The adjusted R-squared value of 0.862 (86.2%) indicates that these variables explain a majority of the variance in customer satisfaction, with the remaining 13.8% attributed to other unexamined factors.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the factors influencing Muslim consumers' decisions in choosing halal products in Indonesia. With increasing awareness of the importance of halal products, this study examines the influence of religious awareness, halal label perception, social and cultural influences, product quality, price, and the role of social media on halal product purchasing decisions. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 200 respondents, as well as in-depth interviews with consumers. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression to examine the relationship between independent variables and purchasing decisions, and a moderation test to examine the role of social influence as a moderating variable in the relationship between religious awareness and purchasing decisions. The results showed that religious awareness, halal label perception, social and cultural influences, and product quality significantly influenced purchasing decisions for halal products, with a significance threshold of p < 0.05. In contrast, price did not have a significant impact on purchasing decisions (p = 0.120). The role of social media was found to have a positive influence on purchasing decisions for halal products (p = 0.055), although its influence was smaller compared to other factors. These findings have important implications for companies, policymakers, and the public in increasing understanding and access to quality halal products.

Abstract

This study examines the challenges and opportunities of developing halal tourism in Lake Toba, Indonesia, and provides recommendations to improve policies and facilities to better accommodate Muslim travellers. A qualitative case study approach was employed, focusing on Lake Toba as the research setting. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, including government officials, tourism industry actors, and Muslim tourists, as well as through direct field observations. Thematic analysis was used to identify key issues and development potentials related to halal tourism. The findings reveal that although most visitors to Lake Toba are Muslim, there is a significant lack of halal tourism facilities, including halal-certified restaurants, sharia-compliant accommodations, and halal slaughterhouses. Policy inconsistencies between local governments also hinder coherent halal tourism development. Nonetheless, support from institutions such as BPODT and the Simalungun Tourism Office demonstrates promising potential for improvement. Social resistance, political complexity, and infrastructure gaps remain key challenges. The study highlights the need for enhanced halal facilities, harmonized interregional policies, and community education on the benefits of halal tourism. Strengthened coordination between government bodies and the private sector is essential for sustainable development. This research provides new insights into halal tourism development in a multicultural, predominantly non-Muslim area, emphasizing the importance of stakeholder collaboration, policy alignment, and sociocultural sensitivity.
