Abstract

Objective: This study aims to develop a cluster development model for Batik Harmoni MSMEs in North Sumatra using the Analytic Network Process (ANP) to identify priority solutions and strategies in the post-COVID-19 era. Theoretical Framework: This study is based on the theory of MSME cluster development, performance-based competitiveness, and crisis resilience theory, considering the interdependence between internal capabilities and external environmental factors. Literature Review: Criteria and Performance of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME), The Relationship between MSME Clusters and Business Performance, The Source of Working Capital, The Relationship between HR and Business Performance, The Connection Between Marketing Mix and Business Performance. Method: A mixed qualitative-quantitative approach was used through focus group discussions, in-depth interviews, and paired comparison questionnaires involving seven expert participants, with data processed using Super Decisions software and analyzed through priority weighting and Kendall's concordance coefficient. Results: The findings indicate that internal solutions are the highest priority, led by performance, followed by human resources, marketing mix, and business size, with total sales and profit margin as key performance indicators, training as the top human resource solution, product as the dominant marketing mix element, and working capital as the main business size factor. Externally, the economic environment during COVID-19, working capital, and government support, particularly technological assistance, were the most influential factors. Implications: The results suggest that post-pandemic MSME cluster development should prioritize strengthening internal performance supported by technology-based policies and institutional support. Novelty: This study offers an integrated ANP-based development model that systematically links the internal and external determinants of the resilience and competitiveness of batik MSME clusters in developing countries.

Abstract

Objective: This study was conducted to find and analyze the phenomenon of productive land management through the concept of cooperation carried out by the community in the Kuta Baru area, Tebing Tinggi Suddistrict, Serdang Bedagai district, North Sumatra in the study of maslahat. Theoretical framework: This study refers to the concept of maslahat in Muamalah Fiqh  and the principles of syirkah and muzara’ah in Islamic economics which emphasize justice, benefit, and sustainability. Literature review: This study refers to the views of classical and contemporary scholars and the hadiths of the Prophet SAW which are the legal basis and practice of syirkah (cooperation) in Islam, such as musyarakah, muzara’ah, and Musaqah, as well as the concept of mashlahah as its normative basis. Methods: The research was conducted through descriptive qualitative study based on welfare with primary data collection through interviews and observations. Interviews were conducted with the village government and several community leaders. Results: The results of the study show that many of the people in this area manage productive land cooperatively between family members to manage the land both to fulfil the economy, living needs and others, both through agricultural cooperation agreements and general business cooperation. This action is an effort to maintain and preserve local culture by continuing to care for agricultural land so that it continues to be fertile and produces benefits for many people. Implications: This finding encourages the need for local policies that support productive land management based on Sharia cooperation, and to strengthen the economic institutions of village communities based on Islamic values. At the same time, this practice supports the achievement of several Sustainable Development Goals, especially SDG 1, SDG 2, SDG 8, SDG 10, and SDG 15. Novelty: This research lies in an integrative approach between the values of welfare, local culture, and Sharia economic practices in the context of agrarian management, which has not been widely studied before. The alignment between Islamic values and global development goals provides a unique and contextual framework for sustainable rural development.
