Abstract

This research aims to measure public sentiment related to Islamic crowdfunding on the Twitter social media platform. The research method involves the extraction and classification of tweet data using a Python Library called VADER (Valence Aware Dictionary and Sentiment Reasoner). The research utilized tweet data posted in the past one year. The results showed fluctuations and decreases in the number of tweets discussing Islamic crowdfunding. Word cloud analysis on keywords shows that in positive sentiments, words such as "crowdfunding platform," "crowdfunding impact," "crowdfunding," "Islamic finance," and "inclusivity Islamic finance" dominate the visualization. Overall, the majority of tweets expressed a positive attitude towards Islamic crowdfunding, with 44.0% positive sentiment. A total of 47.2% of tweets showed neutral sentiment, while 8.7% showed negative sentiment. These results illustrate that people generally give positive support to the concept of Islamic crowdfunding, although there is still a small proportion of tweets that express less favorable views. This research provides valuable insights into people's perceptions and responses to Islamic crowdfunding in cyberspace.
