Abstract

Wakatobi holds considerable potential in the sustainable blue economy, particularly in the fisheries sector. However, only 6.4% of its annual capture fisheries potential has been utilized, despite recent export milestones. This study employed a qualitative methodology using a systems thinking approach to explore the key determinants influencing fish exports in Wakatobi. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and secondary sources, and were analyzed using causal loop diagrams (CLD) to map systemic interactions and identify leverage points. The findings revealed that outdated port infrastructure, insufficient cold storage, limited transportation access, and inadequate post-harvest handling were the main barriers to export readiness. Additionally, gaps in policy coordination and fisher training contributed to poor fish quality and limited market access. The study concluded that addressing these interconnected issues through integrated policies, investment in cold chain infrastructure, and capacity-building initiatives is critical for improving the competitiveness of Wakatobi’s fishery exports. This research offers a systemic perspective for designing sustainable interventions that align economic growth with ecological preservation.

Abstract

This study explores the application of Qur’anic values in entrepreneurial practices and their implications for micro and small enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia and Nigeria. Using a qualitative field-based approach supported by library research, five institutions were examined: KOMIDA, Pesantren Daarut Tauhiid, Warteg Syariah, Kampung Marketer, and Jaiz Bank. Findings show that values such as ṣidq (honesty), ʿadl (justice), amanah (responsibility), taʿāwun (mutual assistance), prohibition of riba, and pursuit of barakah are operationalized through mechanisms including interest-free microfinance, group accountability, transparent pricing, faith-based entrepreneurship education, and inclusive institutional financing. In Indonesia, these practices foster trust, solidarity, and sustainability among MSMEs, while in Nigeria, Jaiz Bank demonstrates institutional commitment by expanding sector-specific support. The study’s novelty lies in bridging normative Qur’anic ethics with cross-country empirical evidence, positioning Islamic entrepreneurship as an alternative development paradigm balancing profitability, sustainability, and spiritual accountability. The comparison specifically focuses on dialectics of applying Qur’anic values across different ecosystem dimensions in two distinct context. Practical recommendations include: 1) embedding Qur’anic ethics in entrepreneurship education, SME training, and halal branding and 2) emphasizing policy reforms such as zakat and waqf digitalization, Islamic microfinance strengthening, and aligning regulation with maqāṣid al-sharīʿah. These insights highlight the transformative potential of Qur’anic values in shaping ethical, inclusive, and resilient economic ecosystems.

Abstract

Single-use detergent packaging has become a serious environmental and economic issue for rural communities. This condition is further exacerbated by the low level of ecological literacy and the high dependence of households on industrial detergent products. In response to this issue, this community service activity, conducted through the Integrative Student Community Service–Community Learning and Empowerment Program (KKN–PPM) of Universitas Padjadjaran, aimed to improve ecological literacy while strengthening household economic resilience through training in the production of eco-detergent. The activity was carried out in Jatiroke Village, Sumedang Regency, using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach involving residents, local groups such as PKK and Karang Taruna, and university facilitators. The training materials included education on the environmental impacts of plastic waste, household financial literacy, and practical sessions on producing eco-detergent using natural ingredients, such as coconut-based surfactants and fruit enzymes. The novelty of this program lies in its integration of ecological literacy, household economic efficiency, and locally based eco-detergent production practices within a participatory empowerment model. The results showed a reduction in household detergent expenditure of up to 50% and a decrease in plastic waste of 90–95%. In addition, the program improved participants' understanding of sustainable consumption and encouraged the formation of community groups capable of producing eco-detergent independently. These findings indicate that households can serve not only as targets of environmental education but also as key actors in developing sustainable consumption practices that are economical, practical, and potentially replicable in other villages.Kemasan deterjen sekali pakai menjadi salah satu persoalan lingkungan sekaligus ekonomi yang cukup serius bagi masyarakat pedesaan. Kondisi tersebut diperparah oleh masih rendahnya literasi ekologis serta tingginya ketergantungan rumah tangga terhadap produk deterjen industri. Berangkat dari kondisi tersebut, kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat melalui Program Kuliah Kerja Nyata–Pembelajaran dan Pemberdayaan Masyarakat (KKN–PPM) Integratif Universitas Padjadjaran ini dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk meningkatkan literasi ekologis sekaligus memperkuat ketahanan ekonomi rumah tangga melalui pelatihan pembuatan eco-detergent atau deterjen ramah lingkungan. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan di Desa Jatiroke, Kabupaten Sumedang, dengan menggunakan pendekatan Participatory Action Research (PAR) yang melibatkan warga, kelompok lokal seperti PKK dan Karang Taruna, serta fasilitator dari universitas. Materi pelatihan mencakup edukasi mengenai dampak limbah plastik, literasi keuangan rumah tangga, serta praktik pembuatan eco-detergent berbahan alami, seperti surfaktan kelapa dan enzim buah. Kebaruan kegiatan ini terletak pada integrasi antara literasi ekologis, efisiensi ekonomi rumah tangga, dan praktik produksi eco-detergent berbasis bahan lokal dalam satu model pemberdayaan partisipatif. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya penurunan pengeluaran deterjen rumah tangga hingga 50% serta pengurangan limbah plastik sebesar 90–95%. Selain itu, program ini juga meningkatkan pemahaman peserta tentang konsumsi berkelanjutan dan mendorong terbentuknya kelompok warga yang mampu memproduksi eco-detergent secara mandiri. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa rumah tangga tidak hanya berperan sebagai sasaran edukasi lingkungan, tetapi juga sebagai aktor utama dalam membangun praktik konsumsi berkelanjutan yang ekonomis, aplikatif, dan berpotensi direplikasi di desa lain.
