Abstract

Cooperatives are considered a strategic tool to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly poverty alleviation and gender equality. Women's cooperatives in rural areas of Indonesia play an important role in strengthening women's micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) as well as improving family economies. However, women's cooperatives still face many challenges, especially those related to social, cultural, and economic factors, as well as limitations in utilizing innovative and communication technologies to develop businesses and marketing. Nadhliyatun Nisa' Cooperative in Kebon Agung Village, Sumenep Regency, Madura, is used to evaluate the role of innovation communication in strengthening women's cooperatives. The study was conducted using a qualitative approach, involving documentation, in-depth interviews, and observation. Research shows that cooperatives help members improve by providing skills training such as business management, marketing strategies, and financial literacy. Innovation communication is very important to support members' economic resilience, expand business networks, and enhance the competitiveness of local products. This cooperative has successfully increased members' income, entrepreneurial skills, and women's social standing in the community, despite facing various structural and cultural challenges.ABSTRAKKoperasi dianggap sebagai alat strategis untuk mencapai Tujuan Pembangunan Berkelanjutan (SDGs), terutama pengentasan kemiskinan dan kesetaraan gender. Koperasi wanita di wilayah pedesaan Indonesia memainkan peran penting dalam memperkuat usaha mikro, kecil, dan menengah (UMKM) perempuan serta meningkatkan perekonomian keluarga. Namun, koperasi wanita masih menghadapi banyak masalah, terutama yang berkaitan dengan faktor sosial, budaya, dan ekonomi, serta keterbatasan dalam menggunakan inovasi dan komunikasi teknologi untuk mengembangkan usaha dan pemasaran. Koperasi Nadhliyatun Nisa' di Desa Kebon Agung, Kabupaten Sumenep, Madura, digunakan untuk mengevaluasi peran komunikasi inovasi dalam penguatan koperasi wanita. Penelitian dilakukan dengan pendekatan kualitatif, yang melibatkan dokumentasi, wawancara mendalam, dan observasi. Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa koperasi membantu anggota menjadi lebih baik dengan memberikan pelatihan keterampilan seperti manajemen usaha, strategi pemasaran, dan literasi keuangan. Komunikasi inovasi sangat penting untuk mendukung ketahanan ekonomi anggota, memperluas jaringan usaha, dan meningkatkan daya saing produk lokal. Koperasi ini telah berhasil meningkatkan pendapatan anggota, keterampilan kewirausahaan, dan posisi sosial perempuan dalam komunitas, meskipun menghadapi berbagai tantangan struktural dan kultural.

Abstract

Background: Ratus as a traditional Javanese health ritual historically associated with purity and marital preparation, has undergone a significant transformation in meaning among contemporary women. This study aims to explore how Ratus is reinterpreted as a cultural, spiritual, and personal practice, revealing women’s bodily agency and negotiation within the dynamics of modernity. Methods: This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, nonparticipant observation, and documentation involving eight Javanese women aged 25–50 from Yogyakarta and Bantul, selected purposively for having practiced Ratus for at least two years. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis, supported by source triangulation and member checking to ensure data validity. Results: Five main themes emerged: (1) transformation of Ratus from a sacred ritual to a self-care practice; (2) spiritual and emotional healing dimensions; (3) reinforcement of cultural identity and female solidarity; (4) commodification of tradition within beauty markets; and (5) negotiation between tradition and modernity as symbolic resistance to Western medical and beauty norms. Conclusion: Ratus now functions as both a holistic health practice and a medium of cultural self-expression, reflecting Javanese women’s adaptive agency amid modernization. This study recommends strengthening the preservation of ratus practices through a sustainable cultural approach by involving women, health workers, and community leaders in efforts to maintain its meaning and health benefits.

Abstract

Brand development in rural destinations has become increasingly vital in the tourism industry, as diverse attractions intensify competition for brand image. Previous research highlights the role of branding strategies in shaping these destination’s images. Therefore, this study aims to overview the branding strategies used in rural tourism development. This study employed a systematic literature review method to identify, evaluate, and interpret relevant research findings. Data were collected using Publish or Perish. Reduction was conducted through an inclusion-exclusion protocol. Using the Google Scholar and Scopus databases, 159 articles were collected, representing key themes and keywords for analysis. The PRISMA scheme mapped the literature, which was processed through descriptive and thematic analysis, resulting in 23 articles selected for analysis. Thematic analysis reveals three central clusters: destination branding which emphasize authenticity, cultural identity, and community participation; brand positioning which focus on competitive differentiation and tourist experience; and brand elements which highlight storytelling, visual identity, and culinary heritage.These findings suggest that rural branding strategies go beyond mere image creation by positioning local culture and heritage as integral components of sustainable tourism communication. The review contributes an integrated mapping of branding strategies in rural contexts and offers practical implications for policymakers and tourism stakeholders. Specifically, the study highlights the importance of identity-based branding strategies that strengthen competitiveness, foster community engagement, and support long-term rural development.
