Abstract

Village community empowerment is key to improving welfare and addressing socio-economic challenges. Aek Najaji Village in Padangsidimpuan Batunadua District has potentials and challenges that require analysis to design an appropriate empowerment model. This study analyzes the village’s socio-economic conditions, identifies potentials and challenges, and formulates an empowerment model suited to its characteristics. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with 29 informants, FGDs, and documentation (October 2024–January 2025). Data analysis employed the Miles and Huberman interactive model with data triangulation. Findings indicate strong social cohesion (Social Capital Index 7.8/10) and a community participation rate of 72%. The economy is dominated by the informal sector: farmers (40%), farm laborers (25%), and construction workers (20%). Potentials include agricultural natural resources, strong social capital (85% community participation in mutual cooperation), and high enthusiasm for empowerment programs. Key challenges are limited market access, low economic diversification, and minimal youth involvement. The recommended model is a Social Capital-Based Participatory Empowerment approach focusing on capacity building, economic diversification, and strengthening village institutions.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of Community Service Program (KKN) students in developing a community-based creative economy at the Class II-B Penitentiary in Padangsidimpuan City. The background of this study is based on the importance of empowering inmates through productive activities that can improve skills, independence, and economic opportunities after the correctional period. The research method used was a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research subjects included KKN students, prison officers, and inmates involved in the creative economy program. The results showed that KKN students acted as facilitators, motivators, and mentors in developing creative economy activities, such as handicraft training, simple product processing, and digital-based marketing. The program implemented was able to improve the technical skills and self-confidence of inmates, although there were still obstacles such as limited facilities, market access, and program sustainability. Therefore, synergy is needed between the prison, universities, and relevant stakeholders to support the development of a sustainable creative economy.
