These visits have the potential to shape healthy consumption habits through direct interaction with the beekeeping process and education on the benefits of honey. This study aims to analyze the social factors that influence young visitors' interest in honey consumption, including product appeal, destination image, and knowledge. The study used a quantitative method with a convenience sampling technique on 50 respondents who were parents or guardians of children aged 4–5 years who visited PT. Kembang Joyo Sriwijaya for educational purposes. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and observations, then analyzed using multiple linear regression to test the influence of each variable on consumption interest. The results showed that all three social factors product appeal, destination image, and knowledge play a significant role in shaping young children's interest in honey consumption. Product appeals such as packaging, flavor, and interactive experiences have been shown to increase children's interest. The image of a clean, safe, educational, and child-friendly destination strengthens visitors' positive perceptions. Meanwhile, knowledge about the benefits of honey and its production process increases parents' motivation to introduce honey as a healthy consumption. This research provides strategic recommendations for PT.

Abstract:Nepotisme merupakan tindak kecurangan berupa penyalahgunaan kekuasaan demi mengutamakan kepentingan pribadi dan keluarganya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pemahaman serta pandangan masyarakat terhadap kasus nepotisme…
epotisme yang marak terjadi di Indonesia. Peneliti menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan melibatkan sebanyak tujuh puluh informan dan dua informan sebagai sampel. Adapun teknik pengumpulan data berupa wawancara dan menyebarkan angket kepada masyarakat luas. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa sebagian masyarakat paham bahwa nepotisme merupakan tindak penyalahgunaan kekuasaan dalam lingkup keluarga saja. Padahal, nepotisme tidak hanya terbatas di lingkungan keluarga saja. Tindak nepotisme lebih luas, meliputi kerabat, keluarga dekat maupun jauh, kenalan, suatu golongan, dan sebagainya. Masyarakat perlu mengetahui bahwa tindak nepotisme ini merupakan tindak pidana, perbuatan yang dilarang oleh hukum dan dapat dikenai sanksi pidana. Sehingga pemerataan edukasi mengenai nepotisme kepada masyarakat luas terutama kepada masyarakat yang belum dapat tersentuh pendidikan yang sesuai standar dan mencukupi. Untuk mengatasi hal tersebut penulis merancang suatu media edukatif yang diharapkan dapat menjadi acuan bagi masyarakat mengenai praktik nepotisme secara mendalam.
