Abstract

Background: The pursuit of a knowledge society in rural Malaysia represents a transformative vision of development, emphasizing innovation, inclusivity, and sustainable growth. This article introduces a conceptual framework for transitioning Changloon, a rural town, into a knowledge society over a ten-year timeline. Anchored by Universiti Utara Malaysia’s (UUM) leadership, the framework integrates education, community engagement, technology adoption, and sustainable practices across four key pillars: waste transformation, tourism transformation, knowledge transformation, and social transformation. Methods: Using the Living Lab approach, the project fosters real-time experimentation and feedback, ensuring sustainable and practical solutions. Findings: The Changloon Transformation Project (CTP) utilizes the Living Lab methodology to address socio-economic challenges and transition Changloon into a knowledge society, integrating waste, tourism, knowledge, and social pillars. Its proximity to Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) enhances the project's potential, ensuring community-driven, sustainable solutions. Conclusion: Despite the challenges of behavioral change and innovation among disadvantaged groups, the project addresses these issues through skills development, financial literacy, and mentorship programs. CTP serves as a replicable model for other rural communities, demonstrating how local strategic solutions and partnerships can create resilient and inclusive communities. Novelty/Originality of this article: This research contributes to the field by introducing a holistic knowledge society framework tailored to rural, integrating waste and tourism transformation as key drivers of economic and social resilience.

Abstract

Background: The Holistic School Field Introduction Program (Program Pengenalan Lapangan Persekolahan/PLP Holistik) is a collaborative initiative between higher education institutions and partner schools aimed at integrating educational theory, field practice, and school environment empowerment. This holistic approach aligns with previous studies emphasizing contextual learning, digital literacy, and environmental-based education in primary schools. This study aims to describe the implementation and impact of the Holistic PLP through environmental development and school digital transformation projects. Methods: This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach based on field practice, with data collected through observation, documentation, and participatory evaluation involving the school community. The program was implemented at SDN Rawu through stages of initial observation, project planning, implementation, maintenance, and evaluation, grounded in contextual learning and sustainable education theories. Findings: The results indicate that the recycled-material-based vertical garden was successfully developed and utilized as a contextual learning medium, while the digital library system based on SLiMS Bulian 9.0 improved book collection management efficiency by up to 60% and enhanced teachers’ and students’ digital literacy. These findings demonstrate that integrating contextual learning theory with technology-based practices positively impacts the learning environment without significant adverse effects. Conclusion: The Holistic PLP program effectively enhances school environmental quality, student teacher competencies, and the sustainable use of educational technology. Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty of this study lies in the integration of environmentally friendly projects and digital library development within a single Holistic PLP framework at the primary school level, an approach that has been rarely explored in previous PLP implementations.

Abstract

Background: Contract farming has been widely recognized as a mechanism for improving smallholder farmers’ productivity, market access, and income stability. However, existing studies generally examine Contract Farming, Creating Shared Value (CSV), and Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) separately, resulting in limited understanding of how these approaches can be integrated within sustainable agribusiness partnerships. This study analyzes the implementation of community empowerment in Cavendish banana agribusiness through a cooperative-based contract farming model integrating CSV and ABCD principles. Method: A mixed method case study approach was employed involving 458 farmers affiliated with the Bina Sejahtera Cooperative in Pesawaran Regency, Indonesia. Data were collected through structured interviews, focus group discussions, field observations, and institutional documentation. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive comparative analysis based on before–after program indicators, while qualitative data were examined through thematic analysis to explore empowerment processes, partnership dynamics, and institutional development. Findings: The results indicate that the integration of CSV and ABCD within the contract farming system generated significant socio-economic and institutional benefits. Farmer productivity increased from 18–20 to 22–24 tons/ha/year (+15–20%), while seasonal income rose from IDR 18–22 million to IDR 23–28 million (+20–25%). Market access expanded from local traders to cooperative-based and export-oriented channels, reducing dependence on intermediaries and improving price stability. In addition, cooperative participation increased from 55% to 80% of active members, while adoption of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) improved from 40% to 715%. Conclusion: These outcomes demonstrate enhanced farmer capacity, stronger institutional performance, and improved agribusiness sustainability. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study proposes an integrative framework that combines CSV and ABCD within a cooperative-based contract farming system. The model demonstrates how market-oriented value creation and asset-based community empowerment can be simultaneously implemented to generate measurable economic, social, and institutional impacts, offering a replicable approach for inclusive and sustainable agribusiness development.

Abstract

Background: Nearly 98 million Indonesians lack formal financial access, with severe gaps in 3T regions (frontier, outermost, disadvantaged areas). Traditional banks cannot serve remote communities profitably. State-owned PT Pegadaian offers an alternative through collateral-based lending requiring no credit history, functioning as community financial infrastructure rather than purely commercial service. Digitalization initiatives mobile apps, agent networks, cloud infrastructure promise expanded reach, yet questions remain whether technology alone bridges access gaps or requires addressing infrastructure, literacy, and trust barriers. Methods: Systematic review following PRISMA 2020 guidelines analyzed 60 sources from Scopus AI searches (January 2026). Two complementary strategies identified 136 initial records; after removing 14 duplicates, 122 sources underwent systematic relevance screening using five-dimension scoring criteria. Sixty sources underwent thematic synthesis and bibliometric network analysis (VOSviewer 1.6.19). Findings: Three causal pathways emerged. The technology pathway shows digitalization contributes to broader fintech infrastructure, improving operational efficiency and service reliability. The economic pathway demonstrates digital access facilitates MSME credit acquisition and poverty reduction. The social pathway connects services to inclusion through literacy and trust, requiring complementary community-level interventions. Bibliometric analysis revealed six thematic clusters with Indonesia as central hub, but specific pawnshop mechanisms received limited scholarly attention confirming the research gap this review addresses. Conclusion: Pawnshop digitalization offers viable community service pathways but requires integrated approaches addressing infrastructure, literacy, product design, and governance simultaneously. State enterprises like Pegadaian are positioned to lead given public service mandates and extensive community networks. Novelty/Originality of this article: This is among the first systematic reviews examining pawnshop digitalization in Indonesia's 3T regions within an ESG integration framework. The dual methodology thematic synthesis and bibliometric analysis surfaces operational and socio-cultural barriers offering evidence-grounded guidance for policymakers and practitioners.
