The Effects of Market Access and Logistics Efficiency on The Competitiveness of Salt Farmers in Jeneponto Regency

Aswar, Nurul Fadilah, Hasmyati, Anwar, Nur Indah Atifah, Parawansa, Dian Anggraece Sigit, Musa, Muhammad Ichwan
Abstract: constrained by limited buyer options, price-information gaps, high distribution costs, inadequate storage facilities, and fragmented product flows. This study examines the effects of market access and logistics efficiency&#8230; y on the competitiveness of salt farmers. A quantitative explanatory survey was conducted with 100 active salt farmers. The three constructs were measured using a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed through multiple linear regression. Market access had a positive and statistically significant effect on competitiveness (p < 0.05), indicating that broader buyer networks, timely price information, alternative marketing channels, and stronger negotiating opportunities improve farmers’ ability to reach markets and sustain sales. Logistics efficiency also had a positive and significant effect (p < 0.05); reliable transportation, lower distribution costs, appropriate storage, proper handling, and shorter delivery times help preserve quality and reduce avoidable losses. The simultaneous test confirmed that both variables jointly affected competitiveness (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that increasing production alone is insufficient when farmers cannot reach profitable markets through efficient product flows. Collective marketing, transparent market information, shared storage, coordinated transportation, and direct relationships with processing industries are therefore essential for strengthening farmers’ bargaining power and market performance

Community Economic Empowerment through Waste Bank Initiatives: A Case Study of the Berseri Waste Bank in Bengkalis Regency, Indonesia

Novryan, Tengku Wikel, Firdaus, Muhammad, Yasir
Abstract: The global paradigm shift in waste governance towards a circular economy has driven the adoption of Community-Based Solid Waste Management (CBSWM), widely manifested in Indonesia through the Waste Bank initiative. Although&#8230; gh theoretically designed as an ecological mitigation instrument and a catalyst for economic empowerment, previous literature remains dominated by techno-ecological and urban biases. These studies often overlook the structural dynamics of community empowerment in areas lacking established recycling infrastructure. This study aims to fill this gap by investigating the economic empowerment mechanisms and institutional resilience of the Berseri Waste Bank in Bengkalis Regency, a coastal-island area facing logistical disruption constraints. This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving 10 multi-actor informants (government, managers, customers, and community leaders) selected through purposive and snowball sampling. Data were collected via in-depth interviews, observations, and document reviews, with data credibility ensured through source and method triangulation. The results reveal four main findings: (1) increased environmental awareness that reduces open burning practices; (2) increased real household income; (3) the emergence of micro-scale circular logistics practices; and (4) community participation heavily driven by social capital (trust and local leadership). Theoretically, this study extends the application of circular economy theory by proving its viability at the micro-community level in geographically isolated regions. As a practical implication, this study recommends that local governments formally recognize waste banks as legitimate circular economy entities and provide policy interventions in the form of coastal transportation logistics subsidies

Economic Behavior of The Kediri People in The Shadow of Doho Kediri Airport

Susilowati , Eni, Rofik, Eka Nur, M. Maghfiroh, Ana, Murdinar, Hardining Estu
Abstract: This study aims to examine the economic behavior of the community around Dhoho Airport, Kediri, which has undergone socio-economic transformation due to strategic infrastructure development. This phenomenon is evident in&#8230; Kediri Regency, East Java, especially after the start of the construction of Dhoho Airport, a national strategic project designed to be a lever for regional economic growth. The presence of the airport has changed the face of the surrounding area, which was previously agricultural land and modest settlements, into a bustling and fast-growing economic area. This change has led to a surge in new economic activities, such as the emergence of street vendors, restaurants, parking lots, local transportation businesses, and lodging. Using a qualitative approach with phenomenological methods, this study explores the meanings raised by local economic actors in responding to these changes. The findings show that communities show adaptive responses through trade, lodging, and other services, with economic meanings influenced by local values such as blessing, hard work, and kinship. This study concludes that people's economic behavior is not only rational instrumental, but also full of subjective values and meanings, so that regional economic policies need to be designed in an inclusive and contextual manner

Analysis of Innovation in Public Transport Services Management Based on Plastic Waste in Support of The SDGS

Shoima, Alifatu Azwa, Candra, Nayshira Rieva, Meirnawati, Oktariyanda, Trenda Aktiva
Abstract: This study examines the innovation of public transport service management through a platic waste-based payment in the Trans Semanggi Suroboyo (TSS) service in Surabaya City. The study aims to analyse the effectiveness of&#8230; this innovation in supporting sustainable urban transport development, particularly in relation to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 11. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, using secondary data collected from scientific literature, official reports, and regulatory documents. The analysis was conducted using George C. Edward III’s policy implementation framework, focusing on communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The finding indicate that this innovation contributes positively to environmental management and promotes public participation in waste reduction while improving transport accessibility. However, its implementation faces several challenges, including limited fleet availability, inadequate infrastructure, fragmented communication, and key to integrity between payment system. These constraints affect service efficiency and user satisfaction. Therefore, strengthening policy coordination, improving infrastructure, enhancing human resource capacity, and optimizing public communication are necessary to support the sustainability and effectiveness of this innovation. This study highlights that integrated and adaptive public transport innovations are essential in achieving inclusive, efficient, and sustainable urban mobility in line with SDGs 11.

Abstract: Kemampuan berkomunikasi dalam Bahasa Inggris merupakan salah satu kompetensi yang penting untuk dikembangkan sejak usia dini. Namun, anak-anak di daerah pedesaan sering kali memiliki keterbatasan kesempatan untuk mempraktikkan&#8230; tikkan penggunaan Bahasa Inggris dalam situasi komunikasi yang nyata. Oleh karena itu, kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PkM) ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan komunikasi dasar, motivasi belajar, dan kepercayaan diri anak-anak Sekolah Minggu di Stasi Santo Petrus Tampo, Kabupaten Tana Toraja, melalui program pengajaran English Conversation. Kegiatan dilaksanakan selama tiga bulan, yaitu dari Maret hingga Mei 2026, dengan melibatkan anak-anak usia sekolah dasar sebagai peserta. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan komunikatif (Communicative Language Teaching) yang diterapkan melalui praktik percakapan, permainan bahasa, tanya jawab, dan aktivitas interaktif berbasis topik kehidupan sehari-hari. Program dilaksanakan dalam 21 pertemuan dengan materi yang mencakup aktivitas harian, keluarga, sekolah, hewan, profesi, transportasi, cuaca, dan topik lain yang dekat dengan pengalaman peserta. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan kemampuan peserta dalam menggunakan kosakata dan ungkapan sederhana dalam percakapan Bahasa Inggris. Selain itu, peserta menunjukkan peningkatan motivasi belajar, partisipasi aktif selama pembelajaran, serta kepercayaan diri dalam menggunakan Bahasa Inggris untuk berkomunikasi. Meskipun terdapat beberapa kendala, seperti ketidakkonsistenan kehadiran peserta dan faktor cuaca, kegiatan dapat terlaksana dengan baik dan mencapai tujuan yang telah ditetapkan. Program ini menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan komunikatif efektif digunakan dalam pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris bagi anak-anak di lingkungan nonformal dan dapat menjadi salah satu bentuk kontribusi perguruan tinggi dalam mendukung peningkatan kualitas pendidikan masyarakat.
