Abstract

Gampong-Owned Enterprises (BUMG) are expected to become economic institutions that lead to gampong independence through community empowerment. However, the condition of the development of BUMG is far from the government's expectations. This study aims to analyze the role of social capital in the management of BUMG Maju Jaya. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. The results of this study illustrate that the success of BUMG Maju Jaya is not only determined by financial capital, but also by the strength of social capital that is integrated in three main dimensions, namely bonding social capital (internal solidarity), bridging social capital (networks between groups), and linking social capital (access to external resources). Social capital plays a key catalyst that drives active community participation, builds trust in BUMG managers, and strengthens internal and external social networks. Social capital has transformed BUMG from a mere business entity to a social-based economic institution that empowers the community. The results of this research are expected to be a reference for other BUMG managers in reviving gampong economic institutions.

Abstract

Background Mukim is a customary governance institution that holds a strategic position in Aceh’s local government system and functions as a guardian of local wisdom. However, in the context of contemporary village governance, its role has increasingly weakened. This study aims to examine the implementation of Mukim’s functions as a local wisdom institution and to analyze the structural constraints that limit its effectiveness in Teluk Dalam District, Simeulue Regency. Methods Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis involving Imum Mukim, village heads, customary leaders, religious figures, community representatives, and local government officials. Data were analyzed using data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing techniques. Results The findings reveal that Mukim’s functions, as mandated by Simeulue Regency Qanun No. 5 of 2010, have not been optimally implemented. Mukim tends to operate symbolically and ceremonially, while its substantive roles in customary governance, development coordination, religious guidance, dispute resolution, and natural resource oversight remain marginal. The dominance of village government following the Village Fund policy has repositioned Mukim from an intermediate institution to a peripheral actor with limited authority. Using Robert K. Merton’s structural-functional perspective, the study identifies an imbalance between manifest and latent functions, resulting in institutional dysfunction. Conclusions The study concludes that strengthening Mukim requires not only normative recognition but also operational and structural reconstruction through clearer authority, capacity building, and institutional integration within local governance frameworks to restore its relevance as a living institution of local wisdom.

Abstract

Honorary Kindergarten teachers in remote areas of West Aceh face the challenge of low salaries ranging from IDR 50,000–250,000 per month, which depend on tuition fees of IDR 10,000–20,000 collected from 18–25 students per kindergarten, as well as limited opportunities to become civil servants (PNS) or government employees under work agreements (PPPK). This study aims to identify the motivations of honorary teachers, the role of community support, and its impact on the learning of Islamic values, as well as to provide policy recommendations based on Islamic values. Using a qualitative approach with a mini-ethnographic design, data were collected through interviews with 6 honorary teachers and 4 parents from four kindergartens in Arongan Lambalek and Woyla Barat Districts, observations in two kindergartens, and documentation. The results show that honorary teachers are dedicated to early childhood education during the golden age period, reflecting the value of sincerity (ikhlas) (Qur'an, Al-Bayyinah: 5), despite being constrained by low salaries and having side jobs such as selling fried snacks, farming, or sewing. Farming and fishing communities provide assistance in the form of food, agricultural products, or fish, reflecting ta’awun (mutual assistance) (Qur'an, Al-Maidah: 2), but this does not address the systemic problems. Low welfare conditions contradict the principle of justice (Qur'an, An-Nisa: 58). Recommendations include increasing regional budget (APBD) allocations for salaries, expanding PPPK quotas, providing entrepreneurship training, strengthening ta’awun, and improving PIAUD facilities. This study emphasizes the importance of teacher welfare for the quality of Islamic early childhood education in remote areas.
