Hubertus B M Letsoin, Fitriani, Nur Jalal
Abstract: This study aims to analyse the strategy of the Merauke Regency Government in managing Wamanggu Market and to identify the factors influencing its implementation. The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach,… with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The informants included the Head of the Department of Industry, Trade, Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) of Merauke Regency, the Head of the Trade Division, the Head of the Wamanggu Market Technical Implementation Unit (UPTD), the Chairperson of HIPPAM, market traders, and consumers. Data were analysed using data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing techniques. The findings indicate that the management strategy of Wamanggu Market is implemented through four main aspects: trader registration, trader regulation and enforcement, market management evaluation, and the enforcement of trader discipline. However, the implementation of these strategies has not yet been fully effective. Trader registration continues to rely on outdated data, resulting in discrepancies between administrative records and actual field conditions. Regulatory measures have not been entirely successful, as some traders continue to operate outside the designated market area and kiosk allocation does not always comply with established zoning arrangements. Market management evaluations are conducted regularly; however, follow-up actions have not been sufficient to resolve existing problems significantly. Furthermore, the enforcement of trader discipline remains constrained by low levels of compliance among traders and the inconsistent application of regulations.The study also reveals that market management strategies are influenced by internal factors, including limitations in human resources, infrastructure, budget availability, and inter-agency coordination, as well as external factors such as regulatory frameworks, trader participation, environmental conditions, market dynamics, and consumer behaviour. Therefore, improvements in human resource capacity, stronger institutional coordination, enhanced infrastructure, and the development of adaptive management strategies are necessary to achieve more effective and sustainable management of Wamanggu Market.

Abstract: Abstract: In today's digital era, the need for fast and accurate information is very important, especially for the Muslim community in ensuring the halalness of the products consumed. Asahan Regency has many MSMEs that do… o not all have halal certification, making it difficult for the public to identify products that comply with Islamic law.

This system is designed using the PHP programming language, MySQL database, and CodeIgniter framework. The research methodology used is qualitative with a literature study approach, interviews, and observations. In the system that is built, users can see the location of MSMEs interactively through a digital map, as well as information related to products and halal status. The implementation results show that this system makes it easier for the Ministry of Religion to manage halal MSME data and helps the public access this information effectively. This system is expected to be an innovation that increases public trust in halal products, and encourages MSME actors to immediately take care of halal certification. In addition, this GIS supports transparency, education, and public services in the halal economy sector at the local level.

Simamora, Toga, Manurung, Nuriadi, Sapta, Andy
Abstract: Abstract: The types of small and medium business sectors that are spread in the Kota Kisaran Timur District vary widely, including fashion, handicrafts, furniture, cafes, restaurants. One of the obstacles that are often… faced by SMEs is the limited promotional media and the absence of mapping the location of these SMEs. The Department of Cooperatives and Trade of Asahan Regency has provided information on SMEs but it is still static in archive form and has not been computerized. The community, business actors, and parties who need information about these SMEs must visit the Cooperatives and Trade Office of Asahan Regency directly, which takes a long time and is less effective. The geographic information system used is web-based and uses the Google Maps API for mapping locations by determining coordinates. The use of WebGIS can make it easier for people to find information and the location of SMEs that are displayed in the form of regional mapping accurately and quickly. In addition, it also makes it easier for the Asahan Regency Cooperative and Trade Office to view information on the spread and growth of SMEs.  Keywords: Mapping; WebGIS; Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs); Eastern Kisaran     Abstrak: Jenis sektor usaha kecil menengah yang tersebar di Kecamatan Kota Kisaran Timur sangat bervariasi meliputi usaha fashion, kerajinan tangan, furniture, cafe, restoran, Salah satu kendala yang sering dihadapi oleh UKM yaitu media promosi yang terbatas dan belum adanya pemetaan lokasi UKM tersebut. Dinas Koperasi dan Perdagangan Kabupaten Asahan telah menyediakan informasi mengenai UKM tetapi masih bersifat statis dalam bentuk arsip dan belum terkomputerisasi. Masyarakat, pelaku usaha, dan pihak-pihak yang membutuhkan informasi mengenai UKM tersebut harus mengunjungi Dinas Koperasi dan Perdagangan Kabupaten Asahan secara langsung, dimana hal tersebut membutuhkan waktu yang lama dan kurang efektif. Sistem informasi geografis yang digunakan berbasis web dan menggunakan Google Maps API untuk pemetaan lokasi dengan menentukan titik koordinat. Pemanfaatan WebGIS dapat mempermudah masyarakat dalam mencari informasi dan lokasi UKM yang ditampilkan dalam bentuk pemetaan wilayah secara tepat dan cepat. Selain itu juga mempermudah Dinas Koperasi dan Perdagangan Kabupaten Asahan dalam melihat informasi penyebaran dan pertumbuhan UKM.   Kata Kunci: Pemetaan; WebGIS; Usaha Kecil Menengah (UKM); Kecamatan Kota; Kisaran Timur.
