Abstract

Pasar Simpang Limun, as one of the largest traditional markets in Medan, is facing significant challenges due to the emergence of online markets. Changes in consumer shopping patterns that now prefer online shopping have led to a decline in the turnover of grocery merchants in this market. Price competition with cheap imported products, a decrease in the number of customers, and limited adoption of digital technology are the main challenges for traditional traders. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with the methods of in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The research subjects were purposively selected grocery traders in Simpang Limun Market. The data was analyzed to identify the challenges faced by traders as well as the survival strategies they apply amidst online market competition. The main challenges faced by grocery merchants include price competition with online markets, a decrease in the number of customers, and a decrease in turnover. Their coping strategies include highlighting product quality, adopting digitalization such as cashless payments and local delivery services (Gojek/Grab), and focusing on holidays to increase sales. However, some merchants still rely on conventional methods without utilizing technology. Digitalization and diversification of sales channels are key to maintaining the competitiveness of traditional merchants. Government interventions, such as digital literacy training, subsidies, regulation of imported products, and provision of digital infrastructure, are needed to support the sustainability of traditional markets.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze cultural interactions between traders and buyers at the Medan Central Market in facing the rise of digital-based economic markets. Digital transformation and the growth of e-commerce have had a significant impact on trade patterns and consumer behavior, especially in traditional markets. The research method used is a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, participant observation and documentation. The research was conducted at the Medan Central Market with research subjects including textile wholesalers and consumers. The research results show that although digitalization has made transactions easier and expanded market reach, many traditional market traders have experienced a decline in income of up to 50% due to reduced customers. However, cultural interactions involving the bargaining process and personal relationships between traders and buyers remain the advantages of traditional markets. On the other hand, the adoption of digital technology by some traders is starting to help increase their competitiveness, although they are still hampered by digital infrastructure and literacy. This research emphasizes the importance of government support in providing digital training and infrastructure, as well as the need for a balanced adaptation strategy to maintain the cultural value of traditional markets in the digital era.

Abstract

Social transformation is a process of fundamental but significant changes that occur in social structures, interaction patterns, norms values, and institutions in a society. Social transformation can occur due to several important factors, one of which is education. Increased access and quality in education can empower individuals and groups to demand social change in a more positive direction and play a more active role in society. This action researchers do as a form of problem solving that occurs in the village of Lalang, Tanjung Pura District, Langkat Regency where the local community is still less concerned about the importance of non-formal education. Non-formal education needs to be applied to this village because of the many problems that occur such as low interest in learning, poor literacy levels and interest in reading, lack of community potential in career development, and so on. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach and descriptive method, where researchers collected data from various sources such as observation, interviews, and documentation. The various programs carried out in the implementation of non-formal education provide positive results and impacts for the community and researchers. The increasing enthusiasm and concern of the community about the importance of non-formal education has shown that the success in social transformation is being carried out.

Abstract

Stunting remains a significant health issue in Desa Pahlawan, Kecamatan Tanjung Tiram, driven by environmental, sanitation, and nutritional factors. This study explores the relationship between these factors and the prevalence of stunting, while examining the potential of local resources, such as marine fish, for improving nutrition. A qualitative approach, using in-depth interviews and field observations, revealed that poor access to clean water, low sanitation quality, and limited use of local food resources significantly contribute to stunting. Additionally, inadequate dietary practices and a lack of awareness about balanced nutrition exacerbate the issue. Though intervention programs such as community education and collaboration with local health posts have been implemented, further coordinated efforts are necessary for long-term change. This research provides insights into the causes of stunting in Desa Pahlawan and offers locally-based recommendations for more effective interventions.
