The Effect of PLS & NPLS Financing on the Industrial Production Index of The Indonesian Economy

Eva Virda Yanti — 2025-02-15

This study aims to see the effect of PLS & non-PLS financing on Indonesia's economic growth using Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) with monthly data from January 2017 - December 2021. The results showed that financing with non-PLS schemes is still better in supporting the real sector than PLS schemes in the long term. For the short term, the second PLS and non-PLS financing schemes have a negative influence. Therefore, concrete steps must be taken to enhance PLS financing schemes to grow Islamic finance.

The Impact of Halal Destination Attributes, Experience Quality, and Local Behaviour on Muslim Tourist Satisfaction in Lombok: Moderation Destination Image

Khadhiya Fahira — 2025-02-23

The main issue in developing halal tourism destinations is the limited understanding of the factors significantly influencing Muslim tourist satisfaction. This is crucial, considering the vast potential of the halal tourism sector in Lombok as a premier destination. This study examines the influence of Halal Destination Attributes, Experience Quality, and Local Behavior on Muslim Tourist Satisfaction in Lombok, considering Destination Image as a moderating factor. The research employed a quantitative approach, using a questionnaire survey distributed to 300 Muslim tourists who had visited Lombok. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The results showed that Experience Quality and Local Behavior significantly positively affected Tourist Satisfaction. In contrast, Halal Destination Attributes did not show a significant influence. Moreover, Destination Image could not moderate the impact of Halal Destination Attributes, Experience Quality, and Local Behavior on Muslim Tourist Satisfaction. These findings imply that destination managers should prioritize enhancing tourist experiences and fostering positive interactions with local communities to boost satisfaction, particularly in halal tourism. Although the availability of halal facilities is essential, the study suggests that the quality of the overall tourist experience and the behavior of local residents are more critical in shaping satisfaction. This highlights the need for targeted training programs for local communities and service providers to ensure high-quality, memorable experiences for Muslim tourists. Furthermore, future marketing efforts should focus on the experiential aspects of tourism rather than solely relying on promoting halal attributes.

Empowering Women Entrepreneurs: Economic, Social, and Environmental Contributions to Tourism Development in South Sulawesi

Afrizal Firman — 2025-02-23

This study explores how economic, social, and environmental empowerment affects women entrepreneurs in micro-small-medium enterprises (UMKM) in the tourism sector of South Sulawesi and the resulting implications for sustainable tourism development. This study shows sustainability traits, and all hypotheses offer substantial evidence for the connection between women's attributes of sustainability empowerment and sustainable tourism. To assess the hypotheses and ascertain the reliability and validity of this study, quantitative methods of SmartPLS-SEM 4.0. tool and questionnaire surveys from 100 women entrepreneurs are employed. The findings enhance our comprehension of women's empowerment within theory and provide managerial insights for women entrepreneurs aiming to effectively engage visitors in sustainable tourism development in South Sulawesi. The research concludes the need for collaborative efforts between government and communities to empower women in tourism enterprises, fostering sustainable development. Collaboration between government and community is essential for facilitating women's empowerment in tourism enterprises, including cultural attractions and social entrepreneurship. This study highlights several limitations, focusing only on South Sulawesi with a low sample size, and proposes directions for future investigation.

Obstacles to Children's Growth and Development Due to Parental Cigarette Consumption in Sumatra

Vitriyani Tri Purwaningsih — 2025-02-25

Globally, one in three children under five are affected by stunting, which impairs their growth. On average, 50% of malnourished children aged five years or younger reside in Asia, while more than 30% live in Africa. Indonesia, as one of the Southeast Asian Countries, exhibits a higher prevalence of stunting compared to other middle-income countries. Several studies have identified a correlation between the smoking behavior of parents and the risk of stunting in children. This is thought to be due to the allocation of cigarette expenditure, which can reduce spending on food. This study aims to examine the impediments to growth encountered by children as a consequence of cigarette consumption within households in Sumatra and beyond. The data used in this study is derived from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS), with the logistic regression method utilized for analysis. The findings of this study indicate that a significant proportion of expenditure on cigarettes, living in a poor household, and internal child factors, namely the baby's weight at birth (less than 2500 grams), can increase the risk of children experiencing stunting. Genetic factors like parents' height and environmental factors like sanitation can also reduce the risk of stunting in children. Because the height of a parent’s body posture and a clean can positively influence children’s health conditions. The study calls for interventions to reduce smoking and improve child nutrition, especially in impoverished households. It is imperative to allocate expenditures related to the procurement of cigarettes to benefit children, thereby facilitating their growth and development.

The Nexus Between Blue Economy and Sustainable Development: A Systematic Literature Review and Mapping Study

Anggi Aprizal — 2025-02-27

This study investigates the relationship between the blue economy and sustainable development through a mapping study and systematic literature review (SLR) adhering to the PRISMA framework. An examination of 57 Scopus-indexed journal papers indicates a robust correlation between the blue economy and sustainability, highlighting significant developing topics such as innovation, the doughnut economy, environmental legislation, regenerative systems, digitization, and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Prominent themes encompass the blue economy, sustainability, ocean economy, innovation, small-scale fisheries, blue equity, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and fisheries. In contrast, underexamined yet promising subjects include economic growth, ocean sustainability, alternative livelihoods, deep-sea mining, aquaculture, tourism, and environmental law. The intersection of Blue Economy and Sustainable Development emphasizes Strategic Management and Marine and Coastal Tourism as the principal focus (21.05%), succeeded by Ocean Governance and Marine Spatial Planning, Sustainable Aquaculture, Marine Food Production and Blue Energy Innovation, and Climate Change, Risk and Conservation (17.54%). Fisher Support (12.28%) prioritizes fisher welfare, whilst Marine Cultural Heritage and Social Dimensions (10.53%) underscore social and cultural significance. This study delineates research trends, analyzes deficiencies, and provides policymakers, scholars, and practitioners insights to promote sustainable marine-based economic development. This study enhances the comprehension of the relationship between the Blue Economy and Sustainable Development by delineating research trends, pinpointing knowledge deficiencies, and emphasizing critical topic areas like strategic management, marine governance, sustainable aquaculture, and assistance for fishers. The results highlight the interdisciplinary aspect of this connection, especially in incorporating innovation, digitalization, and doughnut economy ideas into marine economic policies. The study's implications are relevant to academia, politicians, and practitioners, offering a basis for future research on emergent topics such as deep-sea mining, blue growth, and climate risk reduction. Enhancing marine spatial planning, fisher welfare, and socio-cultural aspects can promote inclusive and sustainable marine development, assuring ecological resilience and advancing economic fairness for coastal communities.

Segmenting International Tourists in Indonesia: A Cluster Analysis of Preferences, Motivations, and Behaviors

Tz-Li Wang — 2025-02-28

This study conducts a cluster analysis of international tourists visiting Indonesia to identify distinct market segments based on travel motivations and behaviors. A sample of 1,050 respondents revealed four key segments: Leisure Seekers, Cultural Explorers, Adventure Enthusiasts, and Budget Travelers. Leisure Seekers from Australia and Germany are drawn to luxury and wellness experiences. At the same time, Cultural Explorers, mainly from China and Japan, are motivated by cultural heritage. Adventure Enthusiasts, younger tourists from Europe and the United States, prefer outdoor activities and eco-friendly tourism, whereas Budget Travelers prioritize affordability. The study emphasizes the importance of tailored marketing strategies to meet the needs of these diverse segments. The discriminant and silhouette analysis validated the clusters, confirming their statistical significance. These findings provide actionable insights for tourism operators and policymakers in Indonesia, offering a roadmap for enhancing visitor satisfaction and promoting sustainable tourism development. Despite its contributions, the study is limited by its focus on major destinations and a defined period, which may not capture evolving tourism trends. Future research should explore niche markets, track changes over time, and assess the effectiveness of targeted marketing strategies. This research highlights the need for segmentation in tourism marketing to sustain Indonesia’s competitiveness in the global market.

Evaluating the Performance of Nazhir Muhammadiyah Central Java in Advancing Sustainable Development Goals

Yuli Utami — 2025-02-28

This study assesses the effectiveness and sustainability of waqf managers (Nazhir) in Central Java, Indonesia. Using a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis, the research examines data from 64 certified Nazhir respondents. It evaluates key factors influencing Nazhir's performance, including Nazhir’s educational background (Waqf Knowledge), crowdfunding efforts, investment strategies, waqf-benefit distribution to society, and the supervision of waqf management in adherence to Shariah compliance. The study provides insights into how Nazhir can optimize waqf resources for long-term social and economic impact by analyzing these elements. The findings reveal that although Nazhirs are formally certified, their educational background, crowdfunding efforts, and investment strategies negatively impact performance improvement. This is primarily due to a lack of widespread implementation of waqf theory, limited crowdfunding targets, and the absence of a broadly adopted investment model across districts in Central Java. In contrast, waqf-benefit distribution and the supervision of waqf management have a significant positive effect. This is primarily attributed to the collective role of Muhammadiyah’s assemblies, autonomous organizations, and institutions responsible for waqf development and serving as waqf beneficiaries. Furthermore, supervision and compliance remain critical and constant factors, as Muhammadiyah Nazhir must adhere to national laws, fatwas, and government regulations.

Ayif Fathurrahman — 2025-03-31

The purpose of this research is to find out how the distribution of cash waqf funds as business capital is carried out by the Aksi Cepat Tanggap (ACT) Foundation for the development of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), which have been affected by the pandemic in Solo City. Data analysis in this study used triangulation techniques. Triangulation is a data collection technique combining various data collection techniques and existing data sources. The results of this study concluded that the Aksi Cepat Tanggap (ACT) Foundation distributed Micro Business Capital Waqf (WMUM) assistance funds to 8 micro business actors in Bibis Baru Village, Nusukan Subdistrict, Banjarsari District, Surakarta. The impact of distributing business capital financing to 8 business actors affected by the pandemic has benefited recipients of the Micro Business Capital Waqf (WMUM) assistance. The benefit most felt by business actors is that additional business capital is obtained with easy terms and can indirectly increase income so that businesses that have been initiated for a long time or have just started to open can still survive amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
