Abstract

The Market Ikan Lama Medan, founded in 1890 by Tjong A Fie, this tax has undergone significant changes, initially specifically as a fish trading place, now developing into a trading center for textiles and other similar goods. This research focuses on the phenomenon being experienced by traders in traditional markets where they face difficulties in adapting to digital technology, and adapting their way of trading to the policies that arise as a result of these developments. This exploration requires a qualitative phenomenological approach to understand the adaptation and innovation of traders in traditional markets. The results show that traditional traders focus on product ordering efficiency and convenient service for customers. They also build good relationships with customers to increase sales, offering discounts and special services. Traders also improvise with modern technology, but still rely on direct interaction with customers through bargaining to set appropriate prices.Keywords: Traditional markets, trader innovation, technology adaptation, customer service

Abstract

Traditions are one form of local wisdom passed down thru generations and still preserved by society, including in the context of Javanese traditional weddings. One tradition that is still maintained is the egg-stepping ceremony, where the groom steps on chicken eggs that are then cleaned by the bride. This process has deep philosophical significance, namely the husband's readiness to take on household responsibilities and the wife's sincerity in supporting and serving her partner. However, the tide of modernization has led some young generations to view it merely as a ceremonial ritual without understanding the values and philosophy it contains. This research aims to describe the implementation of the egg-stepping tradition among Javanese people in Batang Kuis Pekan Village, analyze the symbolic meaning contained within it, and explain the integration of Islamic values into the tradition. The research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data was collected thru observation, interviews with traditional leaders, religious figures, the wedding couple, and community members, as well as documentation of the wedding procession. Data analysis was conducted thru reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions. The research results show that the egg-stepping tradition is still carried out as part of the cultural identity of Javanese society, with symbolic meanings that align with Islamic teachings, such as responsibility, compassion, justice, and respect within the household. This tradition does not contradict Islamic law; in fact, it can be used as a means of cultural proselytization to strengthen Islamic values in community life. Thus, this research affirms the importance of maintaining a balance between preserving local cultural heritage and implementing Islamic values so that traditions remain relevant in the modern era.

Abstract

This study aims to develop an Islamic community model based on local wisdom in Bandar Khalifah Village, Percut Sei Tuan District, Deli Serdang Regency. The research focuses on analyzing how local cultural values are integrated with Islamic teachings to strengthen religious identity, enhance social solidarity, and improve community welfare. It also examines the roles of key social actors and identifies the challenges encountered in implementing the model. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with ten informants (including religious leaders, traditional leaders, village officials, and community members), and documentation studies. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns of strategies and social dynamics. The findings reveal that the Islamic community development model is constructed through the integration of Islamic values such as ukhuwah Islamiyah (Islamic brotherhood), ta’awun (mutual assistance), and shura (deliberation) with local wisdom practices, including kenduri (communal feasts), gotong royong (mutual cooperation), village deliberation, and regular religious gatherings. This integration strengthens social cohesion and fosters a harmonious and inclusive religious environment. Religious leaders and Islamic educational institutions play a significant role as facilitators in transforming local wisdom into effective instruments of da'wah. However, the model faces several challenges, including the impact of modernization that gradually erodes traditional practices, shifting values among younger generations, and the lack of formal documentation of local wisdom. This study contributes to the formulation of a contextually relevant Islamic community development model for rural settings
